I'm not sure I get the leap in logic here.
The US trained a relatively small amount of rebels, and then a fraction of those rebels defected to ISIS. Somehow that translates into the US training ISIS and using them to fight a proxy war?
IMO the bigger issues will arise when Russian/Syrian forces meet up with Kurdish forces. I'm guessing the US forces will be long gone by the time that happens, and the Kurds will be forced to submit to Assad.
