Well he didn’t actually use my terminology. But he may as well have! :))Thank You Vassily Nebenzia for pointing out the obvious- publicly.I've challenged the "official narrative" regarding the near mythical heroic fighters and their  real life collusion with ISIS since 2014! 2014!  While 5 eyes alt media sites we’re still cheering the YPG as the best most effective fighter against ISIS , I was writing about  the facts of the matter- Because they were so in your face!
