Take your current events shit back to your containment board.

The green areas aren't one faction, they're dozens of separate rebel groups.

The war of three henrys comes to mind

Also Kurds aren't actively hostile to the Government, they have some kind of unwritten truce, albeit frail.

For one, the Chinese Civil War.

>Communists

Alternatively, one could count the Polish partisans in WW2 as fighting both the Germans and the Soviets, although that wasn't really a protracted war.

Calradia.

China always collapses into some sort of unholy battle royal, see picrelated. Russian Revolution was a real clusterfuck, so is English one.

Kurds are not really hostile to anyone else but Isis.

> Russian Revolution
Just look how many factions are here.

>>1783233
>>what is Turkey
If there was a full blown war between the SDF and Turkey the SDF would not exist. At the moment they are tolerating each other
>>what is the Turkish-backed FSA
There are occasionally clashes but they are not openly engaged in hostilities despite sharing several fronts. They occasionally fight, especially in Aleppo.
>>what is the Assad regime
Same as above, except they do most of their fighting in Hasakah.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by hostile. Mostly they leave each other alone. ISIS is the only one the SDF has consistent and large scale conflict with.

>>1783250
ISIS is the short-term threat for Kurds and the Turks are the long-term threat. The only reason the SDF and Turks/FSA aren't in full scale conflict is because of the US trying to be the middleman.

But all of this is a moot point. Here in America, all we hear about are Russian airstrikes on Eastern Aleppo and how ISIS kills people. The public is so misinformed on Syria it's frightening. Trumpistas think the conflict is entirely about Islam and ISIS, while liberals only view the conflict as "help the refugees!"
