Here is a report from a US or European anarchist in Afrin. Notice that his entire narrative is about fighting ISIS and Turkey. Not a hint that the PUD/YPG opposes Assad. And it's clear that he got this from the PYD/YPG. Here's the best he can say: " *Overthrowing Assad by military means is a dead project—or, at least, the things that would have to happen to make it plausible again in the near future are even more horrifying than the regime is. I hope that somehow, someday, there can be some kind of settlement between the regime and YPG/YPJ, and the regime and the rebels in Idlib, and everyone else who has been suffering here."* A "settlement" with Assad?
