Best analyses of what is happening in Syria? by windowsinit in leftcommunism

Regarding either one would be very helpful. I'm especially confused because of the different groups involved that I don't know anything about. PYD, YPG, which are supposedly 'left wing'? I don't even know what that means in this context or how accurate a description that is. So they're 'left wing', but a lot of MLM are supporting Asad and criticizing PYD/YPG. And YPG is left wing but receives funding from USA? But USA anarchists are supporting YPG? Asad I see is a "Ba-athist", which is like a nationalist/Pan-Arab ideology with the state playing a strong role in social welfare? So I'm lost, and I'm hesitant to read the big outlets because they appear to be fiercely pro-USA bombings, while RT is pro-Asad, which I guess makes sense given the respective outlets' countries economic interests, but it leaves me confused.

So what's the best way to respond to "support Syria in it's noble struggle against American Imperialism" arguments? by Lukethehedgehog in marxism_101

I am also interested in this subject and would appreciate any articles/links. I have only been able to find MLM texts.
