TFA is a bit suspect all the way through. Why isn't it dated? On any date, this paragraph was always a war media fabrication:
Of course, the watch is not only appreciated by the terrorists of the world but likewise by the people who combat them... Such as the Syrian Democratic Forces which is a coalition waging an anti-ISIS campaign across war-torn Syria.
...in the first place because the vast majority of SDF were specifically interested in forming a Kurdish "homeland". Nothing wrong with that, but it's not an "anti-ISIS campaign". Sometimes they fought ISIS, sometimes they fought the Syrian military (with whom they've since suggested a truce), but now they fight the Turks. [0] SDF mostly served as a fig leaf, so that USA could insert vast quantities of munitions into ungoverned parts of Syria and still pretend we weren't ISIL's primary armaments supplier. Now that Syria, Russia, and Iran have defeated ISIL, maybe we should ask the Turks if SDF and YPG are really "people who combat terrorists"...
The fact that "Батя" doesn't mind dropping such transparently WaPo-approved propaganda into the middle of an unrelated article really undercuts the whole "independent journalism" vibe that "Reaper Feed" claims to cultivate.
