Step 1: Kurds light a bunch of tires on fire. Or maybe whatever they have on hand. I saw Kurds lighting screen doors on fire. So I cut the screens out so we can at least not piss ALL over the environment.

Step 2: Play music. This can be from artists like Soreşa Waşukanî or really whatever funky music the Kurds feel like two-stepping to. Harnê peş!

Step 3: lots of dancing. Lots. Probably gonna be some “yiiii yiii yiii cheers from YPJ” to really liven things up.

Step 4: cola and lamb/goat/sheep. I’m honestly not sure if the difference between these three animals, even now. But it’s a real party if you get cola and some lamb/goat/sheep going on (and I mean to eat. I really don’t want to have to clarify this).

Step 5: There’s gonna be some chanting. “Her bijî Afrîn” “Bijî Serok Apo”, the like.

That’s the 5 step program in-which the YPG/J recharge morale. That’s all it takes buddy.

I’ve never in my life seen a group of people just refuse to get bummed out like the Kurds and Arabs while I was in Rojava. You think troop losses matter? You kill Egîd’s favorite Hevalen, and now Egîd has even MORE of a reason to carry on, never mind the kid is on some serious ideologically-fueled morale steroids.

You act as if this is the first time these folks have faced adversity. Never mind the fact that attrition is totally on the side of the defender in this case, not the attacker. I highly doubt the YPG have any endgame where they force the Turks out militarily. They really just have to ride the lightening until the political situation changes, never mind that taking on the YPG to the point of capitulation in Afrîn or Rojava as a whole with a military the quality (or lack thereof) of Turkey is a process that is tallied in years.
