#Airdrop2Kobane Trending - Is Obama Administration Listening?

by Kim D.

According to a recent petition by Humanity over Politics, Airdrop weapons for Syrian Kurds Fighting ISIS in Kobane,

Except for one narrow entry and exit point to Turkey, Mr de Mistura said Kobane was "literally surrounded" by IS, with hundreds of mainly elderly civilians still inside the city centre and another 10-13,000 gathered nearby, (AFP reports)

Although ISIS has been trying to take the town for two years, the current attack is ISIS’s biggest ever with estimated 15,000 fighters attacking the town.  US coalition airstrikes were only stepped up on Wednesday although airstrikes alone will not be enough to support the vastly underequipped defenders who are running low on ammo whilst fighting with light soviet era equipment.

The defenders urgently require ammunition, anti-tank missiles and a corridor for YPG reinforcements to be allowed in from the other two Kurdish cantons.

The situation in Kobane has reached desperation, and if the US and allied nations do not immediately step up support of the Kurds, massive death atrocities are certain to occur. Currently this topic is trending on Twitter, but is anyone with the power to act listening?

If war, at its most common denominator, is a test of wills, ISIS success in Kobane matters. A defeat of this proportion would be demoralizing to any future fight against these barbarous terrorists.
