[MotherJones] An anarchist revolution - and the Americans volunteering to defend it.
This story is part of Shane Bauer’s investigation into what Americans‐troops, militia volunteers, ISIS recruits, and others‐are doing in Syria. Bauer, who lived in Syria in the late 2000s, traveled to the Kurdish and Syrian rebel-controlled parts of the country in 2018. The area he visited is where Kurdish fighters are now preparing to make their last stand after President Donald Trump announced that the United States would not stand in the way of a Turkish offensive against them.
| It seems to be an account of a trip and a talk with the people fighting for the PKK right now. Whether it's written to give an impression of the Kurds being 'not worth it', or if it's true, it's still a good read. And maybe justification for washing your hands off. Antifa in Syria ? It's only a short read, head to Mother Jones. |
