The YPG have been involved in fighting with both the rebels and the regime in Syria. The Kurds are fighting for the Kurds, any perception that there's any real allegiance there is false, the Kurds themselves would be very keen to tell you that. They have longstanding bad blood with the Assad regime, but they both have enemies in common.
