Book Chronicles The Women Fighters Who Took On ISIS | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Hey look more people who are fighting for freedom tRump turned his back on.
@Piotr Trebisz I respect the Kurdish fighters. They have earned what they have and if we had any balls we would support their independence.
@Biden Virus: The PKK is a marxist organisation. The YPG is also a left-leaning organisation. The Kurds are a multi-confessional nation with muslims and many jesidians. No my friend, among all the crazy groups in the middle east they are the only ones who we can count on… or could count on until the USA betrayed them. You may not like that they are marxists, but at least they don’t fight in the name of a god, they live in an objective reality, one can negotiate with them.
The only other sane and secular faction in the region is the syrian government with president Bashar al-Assad. He is supported by the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation keeps its promises, they don’t let their partners down. What does this tell about America?
@Piotr Trebisz So you want the USA fighting a war with Turkey for a group that hates America? Don’t kid yourself BOY the Kurds are not for America we just share a common enemy!
@Piotr Trebisz You 100% insane! 98% of Kurds practice Islam!
HEY! Where is the rest of the interview?!?! This was amazing and fascinating, comon!
Totally agree. We got short-changed.
Way to be badass!!
Good the story needs to be told
There were a lot of female Kurdish soldiers that the USA abandon. Sad
I was thinking the same thing. Glad to see I’m not alone.

Can’t wait to see this and learn about this story!
The Trump administration abandoned the Kurdish fighters in Kobani, and let gangster Erdogan and Turkey invaded and took over Kobani, push out the Kurdish fighters out of Kobani.
The same women were betrayed by USA in 2019.
yeah that’s how we do things in America remember bush sinior left the irak rebels on sadams hands
Meanwhile, here in America, the Dept of Defense held back promotions for two Generals because they were afraid that the Stable Genius would block them. Why? Because they are both women.
Pathetic, yes. Surprising, no.
In combat, there is not such a thing as women or men. There are only warriors, they all deserve our respect for doing something extraordinary that majority of us are incapable of doing or do not have the courage to do it.
Women have been and are treated like 2nd class citizens worldwide. We are told we can’t preach, control our own reproductive system or direct our own destinies. Women are taking a bounce back during this pandemic crises. This is so refreshing, we should be so proud of them. Our daughter’s must hear and celebrate their story. Please, keep us informed. 🕊️
Here in Germany Angela Merkel will not run again in September after 16 years in office. Recently a major newspaper printed the headline: “Can a man be chancelloress?” 😁
These are Kurdish women. Remember the kurds trump left in syria. Weren’t they guarding 1000 of isis prisoners.
These women make groups like the proud boys look like….well….little boys.😆
You’re right. When there is really something to fight for and not those overfed, igorant and over indulged backyard bullies who wanted attention.
Here is a video of the “Trümmerfrauen” (Rubble Women) who removed the rubble and started to rebuild the cities while the men, who caused all this damage, were in war captivity. These women have the status of national heroes in my country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btc5ryG2TJQ
@Piotr Trebisz for once someone posts a video I like. Very cool, thank you
@Mats Experts estimate that they removed 500 million cubic meters of rubble, that’s a block 1000 x 1000 x 500 meters big, many egyptian pyramids would fit into this block!
The Women (American) I served with in the Army were excellent soldiers. One saved my life.
Why on earth would yall cut this mid sentence 🤬
Isis/daesh fighters was terrified of the possibility of being shot by a female kurdish sniper. They belived they couldnt enter paradise if they were killed by a woman. And as i understand it, they (the snipers) are wery competent
Exactly the people Trump turned his back on.
They were fearsome, ISIS fighters were more scared of them that from US bombers.
It’s sad we abandoned freedom fighters, I have the utmost respect for these women. Just another dummy don screw up.
Let’s hear the right lose their minds now
