    Sadly, Rojava is incredibly land-locked. It is possible to deliver assistance in various forms (from woolen socks and SDR cards to items one won’t mention on the net) to folks who defend Ukraine… but I don’t know a single organization except Heyva Sor (Red Crescent, humanitarian and medical assistance) that reaches North-Eastern Syria (even Heyva Sor is better than nothing, for all I know they depend on imported antibiotics).

    If anyone knows of channels that can get assistance to those people, clues would be welcome.

    I hope the HTS and SNA don’t have overlapping interests and listen to different people. They might hold each other in check, at least for a while, and thus prevent restarting of the civil war.

    I hope the folks in North-Eastern Syria get a tolerable (or even favourable) political solution - some kind of extended autonomy within Syria.

    But the wider context is Erdogan waiting for Trump to make deals with him (and also Israel seems to be trying to ruin its relations with any new government of Syria pre-emptively) - so if I were them, I’d keep drone batteries charged. They have a snowball’s chance in hell.
