    The YPG are barbarians who do not have empathy for anyone but themselves. In Western press they are often over-glorified and praised as some sort of "Liberal heroes". In reality, however, they are terrorists.

    YPG) is a Kurdish militia in Syria and the primary component of Rojava's Syrian Democratic Forces.[4][5][6][7] The YPG is mostly ethnically Kurdish, but it also includes Arabs, foreign volunteers, and the Syriac Military Council, a militia of Assyrian Christians.

    The YPG was formed in 2004 as the armed wing of the Kurdish leftist Democratic Union Party. It expanded rapidly in the Syrian Civil War and came to predominate over other armed Kurdish groups.

    They have been accused of ethnic cleansing and using child soldiers.

    I don't know much about them. .. apparently they are fighting on the side of the US and Russia and against both ISIS (Baathists) and the FSA.

    Their political party is opposed to the Baathists.
