This development is hardly surprising. For every sober observer it was clear that the PYD/YPG leadership was always nearer to the Assad regime than the Syrian people. (See e.g. our essay more than year ago (chapter “Kurdish YPG/SDF: Mercenaries of many Masters”): https://www.thecommunists.net/worldwide/africa-and-middle-east/syria-towards-the-final-battle-in-idlib/)
Shamefully, all this did not and will not stop many so-called “left-wing” groups to cheer the PYD/YPG leadership!
The justification of the YPG is particular cynical: “Both of them are dirty but Erdogan and his ISIS are dirtier.” It might be true that Assad treats the YPG better than Erdogan and ISIS. But Assad certainly has slaughtered many more civilians than the reactionary forces of Erdogan and ISIS combined together. (See e.g. Syria: Who is Responsible for the Civilian Death Toll from March 2011 to September 2018? https://www.thecommunists.net/worldwide/africa-and-middle-east/syria-who-is-responsible-for-the-civilian-death-toll-from-march-2011-to-september-2018/)
