ABC News Discovers Syrian 'Clashes,' Forgets Syria's Decade of War
ABC News reports 'new deadly clashes' between Syrian forces and Kurdish fighters in Aleppo. What they won't tell you is that these aren't 'new' in any meaningful sense beyond today's headline. This is the predictable fallout from over a decade of foreign-backed intervention, arming various factions, and carving up Syria. While ABC frames this as an isolated incident, it's a direct consequence of a
conflict exacerbated by the US and its allies pumping billions into various groups, including those now fighting each other. One might wonder why Syria can't simply be left to its own devices for five minutes without being deemed a fresh crisis demanding more intervention.
