Take that pesky liberals!

Not at all, but ISIS was a creation of the Bush administration's disastrous policies post invasion that excluded any Ba'ath party member from joining the new administration. Given that Party membership was a prerequisite for any government job under the Hussein regime and that most of the GDP was based on nationalized oil exports, this excluded pretty much every working professional from participating in society post march of 2003. That's precisely why ISIS was able to set up a massive and functioning bureaucracy in a matter of weeks-- tons of people had valid reasons to hate the US backed regime and had no other option, economically.

I personally went to Kurdistan to teach refugee children how to use computers during the first Trump Administration and when the YPG insisted I carry a gun for self defense, I only kept a single bullet in the magazine. So, I do very much put my money where my mouth is.

I smoked hookah with teenage Assad Regime soldiers who became ISIS guards before the Kurds took over the administration and they became YPG recruits. The single most striking thing about the experience was how little the ideology mattered to the people on the ground. Consistently, it seemed like the primary concern was feeding ones family rather than this or that ideology.

These problems were created by the colonial conquest of the Ottoman empire and the root issue has always been Sykes Picot. More white people in the middle east shooting brown people will never solve that problem.

Tu dizani Kurdi, heval?

Also, the bombings of Kurdish positions today are done by NATO member Turkey who also compelled Sweden to change their laws and hand over Kurdish journalists that Erdogan didn't like.

The US is no ally to the Kurds-- it was a partnership of convenience. In Kurdish, there's a saying,

ji çiyan pê ve heval nînin

No friends but the mountains.
