Chris, since movements that are under some kind of siege need to build alliances first and foremost among other people struggling (regardless of whether there might still be a necessity to deal with the devil as you describe), could you please send through any statements of solidarity by the "Rojava revolutionaries" with the people being mass murdered in Idlib and Hama for months on end now by the regime and Russian imperialism, with literally dozens of hospitals and schools being bombed, at least 500 killed and 100s of 1000s displaced. Thanks.
