Can you imagine what the comments would be like here if we stayed and fought side by side with the YPG (who actuallt support Assad) against Turkey and Russia?
I do not think that any group supporting dictator Assad would ever have fought against the Russians. Maybe it would have been better to help overturn Assad, after all the initial uprising had that in mind, and it would have granted the US and the west a positive image and a deciding stance not only in the Middle East.
Which was ecactly what Obama had had in mind before, b.t.w. .
And i was at least worth a try, what happens now is ridiculous.
