Foreigners Fighting ISIS in Syria: The War of Others

  • Опубликовано: 5 апр 2016
  • Denis Cuspert, aka Deso Dogg, is a German who joined the Islamic State. He's become a household name for many. However, in this war - in which Germany has been directly supplying weapons to the Peschmerga forces since the attacks on Paris and is more than indirectly involved with Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and other Gulf states - hardly anyone is talking about the German civilians in northern Syria that are fighting terror militias.
    While the German government sends its Tornado jets to Syria without a mandate under international law, we discovered German civilians, as well as other international volunteers fighting with and assisting Kurdish commandos. With AK-47s in hand, they are trying to halt the advance of the Islamic State and set up their own in its place. They’re trying to promote a societal model in which there’s no death penalty, men and women have equal right, freedom of religion exists. The far-left scene in Germany sees this as the most important leftist political project in the world and has therefore pledged its support.
    VICE journalist, Sebastian Weiss, met up with a German ex-soldier and former Foreign Legionnaire, a 19-year-old Canadian fighter, a mother of four from Poland, an ICOR brigade member, German social workers and a 25-year-old from Saarbrücken, who are deployed under the command of the People’s Protection Units, directly on the front and only 50 kilometers from the IS stronghold, Raqqah.

      +Snedder: You're correct. These people need to forge their own future. I watched another video in which a Kurd lieutenant stated the following (paraphrased): "while we appreciate volunteers what we really need are weapons, supplies, ammunition." He is intelligent enough to know that once you get a slew of foreign troops in there, everything will go to shit and their revolution will be lost. They're willing and able to fight; they just need something to fight with. Yet the so-called first world and the UN and NATO just wants to talk. Sickening.

      They're insane alright. They're also blind. They don't understand that once the IS has been dealt with, their so-called revolution will be nothing but dust beneath the heels of Assad and Erdoğan. Russia will support the former, NATO will continue to support the latter. Who will support them? No one.

      Guy is super passionate. he learned to speak kurdish so well! He seems 100% part of the Rojava revolution, ideologically, coming from a post left anarchist background he seems he was born to be a part of this. He isn't there only to kill daesh, although that is a big part of it. He is very confident in the cause and knows what he is doing is right. Very intereting, reminds me of the old Spanish republican volunteers of the Abraham Lincoln brigade back in the 30s
