Reply to comment by RoaringSilence in Russian, Syrian, Turkish defence ministers meet in Moscow for first talks since 2011 by Saltedline

The US is conducting join patrols and making photoshoots with Russia, so I guess they too are colluding with the enemy then?

The US is interested in making business with the YPG/PKK, thus openly colluding with an enemy of Turkey.

Also, you calling the YPG/PKK "Kurds", thus equating a single militia to an entire ethnic group, shows that you have no knowledge of the actual situation.

No, Turkey is negotiating with Russia because Turkey is bombing Assad's troops just as much as they are bombing YPG/PKK troops. They literally bombed a joint Russian-YPG/PKK training center last time.

"Taking ethnic group out" lmfao. How come that Turkey is the biggest trading partner of the Kurdish regional government in north Iraq and why are there around 15-20 million Turkish citizens of Kurdish ethnicity/descent ? It wouldn't even be too far off to say that more Kurds live in Istanbul alone than in the entirety of North-East Syria. Something doesn't add up here, does it?

I was referring to my generalized "kurds" comment what was wrong pointing to the ethnic group instead of a group within

Because it's not about a whole ethnic group but specifically about the Syrian branch of a NATO-recognized terrorist organization, with US officials openly admitting to forcing the PKK to change their name to SDF/YPG so that the US can "legitimize" aiding an open Enemy of another NATO member.
