misljenja sam da je ovdje dogovor u pitanju, u koji su ukljuceni i Turska i SAD a vjerovatno i kurdsko vodstvo u Siriji. ISIS je trebao ekspresno da pomete Kurde, sto su dijelom i uradili, ali nisu dovrsili posao. SAD je tolerisao njihove napade do odredjene granice (u prvim danima), ali Kurdi su se odrzali. zbog toga i generalno zbog raspolozenja svjetske javnosti i pritisaka doslo je do promjene plana. nevjerovatno je da YPG u Hasaki nije pokrenuo neku operaciju da rastereti Kobane.
helem, mozda nisam upravu (i nadam se da nisam), ali moj dojam je takav.
Misljenje War Nerda oko Kobanea, mislim da je interesantno.

Zasto je Americka administracija prizeljkivala pad grada:
Because, very simply, the US was waiting eagerly for the town to fall. There were all sorts of reasons for this, and none make any real sense.
(a) The hick Islamists running Turkey tilt toward IS and hate Kurds, all Kurds, with the same insane virulence that Turks hate all their neighbors, and especially any minority that dares to identify itself as non-Turkish;
(b) The YPG militia defending Kobane is linked to the PKK movement, which is nominally “Socialist,” and American apparatchiks, no matter who’s officially in charge, have never un-learned the anti-Commie nonsense they learned at Georgetown;
(c) The “brave, doomed defenders of Kobane” were worth much more dead than alive, much more in defeat than in victory. If they lost, they’d be beheaded by the vicious loons in IS, and those severed-head videos would be great US agitprop, a great little way to put more pressure on Turkey over the theatre the US really cares about—Iraq.
So the message from DC was clear: “Die, Kurds! Die, and do it on-camera and soon!”
I zasto grad nije pao, ukratko:
1. Because Islamic State is a lousy, overrated fighting force.
2. The U.S. finally got so embarrassed by the Kurds’ heroic defense that it had to get serious.
3. Because the YPG/J wouldn’t let it.
Inace Geri Brecher AKA the War Nerd je misljenja da ISIS nije toliko jak koliko su mu protivnici slabi

Opet se ogradjujem od svih njegovih misljenja jer je covek ipak malo blesav, ali vise puta je pogodio stvari tako da mozda je ipak u pravu.
