The Kurds are Exceptional... The US keeps screwing them over and over and over again and they seem to like it. Did you know a hundred years ago they were animists who believed in magic? If you drew a circle around one they couldn't escape. George Gurdjieff recounted one such incident in his autobiography Meetings with Remarkable Men. Rr On 06/11/2016 08:04 PM, Zenaan Harkness wrote:

I don't think Kurdistan in any form will come out from this particular CIA initiated war in Syria - there are too many regional fears of an expanding Kurdistan (into Turkey and Iran for example, not to mention Iraq and Syria of course), and there appears to be some genuine understanding that religious based government becomes quite intolerant of minorities, and therefore a greater desire in the people for a separation of religion and state, if nothing else than for to maximise longer term stability.
In all areas of Jihadistan, I can only agree.
And it's hard to not oppose Exceptionalistan (USA) on principle these days...
And it certainly does not look like Russia will let Syria 'fall', being a long term strategic partner.
Doesn't change the fact though of the existence of the YPJ and the potential longer term cultural catalytic effects they may cause - here's hoping.
Good luck humans
