YPG: Kurds advancing in Kobani (Ayn al-Arab)

[Bleipriester]

The YPG now controls 75-80% of the city.
Fightings between Kobani and the Turkish border. The Turkish flag can bee seen in direct vicinage:


In the same time, the Syrian government criticized the US-led coalition airstrikes as inefficient. Isis is not weakened.
The army made gains in Hama, killed terrorists in Idlib and started major offensives at Homs and the north of Aleppo.

Syria is weaker...

Syria is weaker...

The airforces of the coalition may be stronger than the Syrian airforce. Nevertheless, the Syrian airfroce does far more to fight the terrorism than the combined coalition airforces.

The Kurds have more to fight for. Arm the Kurds to the teeth and let them take care of ISIS, with the promise of an eventual homeland from the areas they recapture from ISIS, including inside Syria. That should be a nice chunk of land. That way we don't have to lower ourselves to deal with Assad or Iran.

One cannot promise someone else´s land to someone. Promises are of low credibility anyway.

ISIS is now occupying a portion of what used to be Kurdistan. All Kurds have to do is defeat ISIS to regain part of their ancient homeland.

What if everybody starts to claim what he considers his ancient homeland?

Except...The Kurds haven't gone anywhere, they have always been in the lands their ancestors have lived in. If you take ISIS away, the Kurds will have most of their homeland.
