#1 Reading his tweets on his X page is interesting. He was a YPG sniper and commander defending Kobane and Raqqa against Turkey in 2014-17. His views can be summed up as: Kurds good, communism good, Turkey murderous, the HTS-led alliance (Al-Fath al-Mubin) is Islamist, murderous, and aimed at Assad, while Fajr al-Hurriya — the alliance on Turkey’s payroll sometimes called the Syrian National Army — is evil, murderous, and aimed at the Kurds.

I didn’t expect that last, which shows my naiveté, I guess.
