That's the wrong point to start working from. The majority are basically communists or Islamists as I'm sure you know. ![]() A decent portion of the opposition came from the Baathist ranks initially. Some of the groups do have Baathist ideology and ties to Assad's government. Time for a name change boys, we got busted! I do not trust the DoD at all. I like to think of it as more of a rebranding after getting busted supporting a bunch of terrorists. View Quote- I do know the DoD "created" them. We sure as fuck aren't about to give it to him. The same way we used Kurds and Iraqi Security Forces in Iraq to defeat ISIS, we created and then used the SDF to conquer ISIS in Syria. You know the US DOD created them right? Remember the failures the CIA had trying to create a force of Sunni Arabs to fight ISIS? The DOD's competing program simply took groups we were already allied with to fight Assad, redirecting them, with better funding, weapons, support, to be our ground forces in Syria. War should be total, victory should be crushing, absolute and only in our defense or that of our allies. Our retaliation against Afghanistan post 9-11 should have consisted of mercilessly killing people and breaking shit, then leaving.ĮTA: I am not anti war by any stretch but I am anti meddling in conflicts where both sides loathe us. Our history of helping overthrow nominally secular dictators and replacing them with islamists has worked oh so well every time we have tried nation building over there. Picking up a turd by the clean end if you will. We should come to the aid of our allies, not try to make people who hate us, hate us less by arming/training them.Īfghanistan (at least the way it has been fought), Iraq and Syria are utterly pointless endeavors as was Obama's support of the "arab spring". We should bow out, retreat back to CONUS, become isolationists, let the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese fill the vacuum. Yay, lets potentially start WWIII over a bunch of goat herders who have varying levels of hatred for us.You're right. That's what happens to the US if we do it. The end result wouldn't be that much different if you took out your EDC piece, stuck it in your ear, pulled the trigger. To support Kurds is to essentially support full blown socialists minimum, commies mostly.ĭon't want US taxdollars to help? Then we lose Syria to Syrian-Iranian-Russian confederation who then aggressively take down rest of Middle East. LOLīa'athist are allied with Assad, he's literally the leader of the Ba'athist party of Syria. I don't want US tax dollars or US soldiers going to help them.You know the US DOD created them right? Remember the failures the CIA had trying to create a force of Sunni Arabs to fight ISIS? The DOD's competing program simply took groups we were already allied with to fight Assad, redirecting them, with better funding, weapons, support, to be our ground forces in Syria. Best case, they're Baathist or Communist leaning. ![]() In other words, I wouldn't trust them and would even go so far as to say, some of their membership should be outright destroyed. Some of their force has ties to ISIS and Al Nusra. ![]() They're strongly tied to the Kurds but include a large percentage of Arab fighters as well as Turkmen, Syriac, Chechens, etc. I wonder if they are still a subsidiary of the Kurdish YPG?I've done a bit of research into the groups that make up the so called SDF.
