You realize the kurds are heavily backed by the US, Israel and other western powers?
then why are their letting a NATO state (turky) to attack them?
Thats a long story, and true to any organization involved in syrian civil war, it's a story that could be taught to me perfectly and I still wouldnt understand half of it.
Simply whilst the US etc would prefer the SDF and by extenstion the YJP etc, Turkey would rather not have a kurdistani group in the area, for so many reasons. As such the turks have taken "buffer" zones in the area, and since Turkey is quite an important ally to nato etc, and important in containing Russia expansionism, the States has been quite passive about letting turkey invade.
Im sure someone can add more detail, but my knowlegde of the precise mechanics of the SDF US Turkey relationship is lack luster.
