Concerning Rojava, considering what would seem the need for the U.S. to give support to Rojava to continue to exist would it not ultimately drive instability or what do you think about that? I am mostly concerned of the ability for any organization to point at it and like Israel say, see look the West is continuing to colonize our land we must retaliate and a cycle of violence continues. It’s sticky because of course I think Rojava should exist but can’t get past this

We think that right now, with Turkey slaughtering people in Rojava in its illegal invasion, is not the right time to wring our hands and worry about the long-term consequences of hypothetical continued U.S. military support of the YPG/YPJ. Because if Turkey is not stopped right now, there won’t be anyone left alive there to continue the Rojava project of multiethnic, feminist, democratic confederalism.
