This is a excerpt, please read this article. It is worth reading.
There will be an announcement tomorrow by the SDF leaders about the beginning of the battle for Raqqa, and the end of the Great Evil called ISIS's capital.
Syria Ping
Kurdish Air Force needs planes.
There is no Kurdish Air Force. In Iraq or in Syria.
That is why peace is dependent on outside forces.
The Kurds and their local allies are doing great against ISIS.
Hopefully, the new equipment and improved support will save Kurdish lives, while they root out this malignancy.
There will never be peace if islam is allowed to exist. Get a brain morans.
There is a significant portion of the forces to take Raqqa that are Arab. I am told it is a majority. We shall see.
I doubt they have the experience working with our special ops that the Kurds do.
I’m told the Kurd leadership was housed in same villa with our Spec Ops. If so, the bond is set in concrete.
I suspect it is so.
Kurdish populations in Syria, Iraq, Iran. Turkey. The beginning of fully autonomous Kurdistan?
I’m for it. Lets see how it plays out.
I doubt Iran will be a part of it. They are in Iran, and how they are treated is a mixed thing. Some here say it is better than I perceive it. I still doubt anything good from the Mullahs.
Turkey under Erdogan? Not good at all. Getting worse as his power grows.
In Iraq, it is pretty good and I expect a vote for independence. They are predominantly Muslim in Iraq.
In Syria, Assad has treated them like 2nd class citizens. Kurds have dealt with him, but he has always had the upper hand. Now, Kurds have infected much of the country with a love of freedom after the slavery of ISIS animals.
Syrian Kurds are totally secular. And they mean it. There are far more other religions (including Christians) among Syrian Kurds than any of the rest of Kurds.
That which has been seen, cannot be unseen.
I thought Israel supported ISIS? They want Assad gone. One time Obama/Clinton/Soros agree with Israel.
I think a lot of the Arabs are newly trained recruits - I don’t anticipate that they will be as effective as the more experienced, and I don’t expect that they will be as effective as new Kurdish recruits.
That being said, I give them the respect that they are due for standing up and taking action against ISIS. They earn their place in the new order.
Unfortunately this is a political move to pacify (waste of time) Erdogan who fears Kurds running the place which is predominantly Arab.
But I think they have also turned into pretty good soldiers.
I doubt they are in the same catagory with the Kurds, 3 years is a long training period. And battle is brutal but effective teacher.
I totally admire them. But you know that already.
All I can think about today is the Siege of Kobani. That city name should be the battle cry tomorrow or when this does kick off. Remember Kobani.
I looked back at my Twitter timeline and was still choked up remembering how totally desperate those days were. 3 years is a long time, but my emotions concerning that are still plenty deep.
Having a clue about your background, I suspect you still have days like that from remembering your past.
Israel wants to survive.
They may have had relations with some of ISIS, but never “supported” them.
Obama, Clinton and Soros NEVER agreed with Israel. Not EVER.
Where did you get that idea?

Sorry, how dumb of me.
I’m on that thread, but that was the Twitter link that I found it on.
Remember Sinjar!
It is time to pay them back.
ABSOLUTELY!
I feel it.
It was sarc
Sorry, I’m not good at that.
