Al-Monitor Discovers Breakdown in Syria-Kurdish Talks, Ignores US Proxy Wars
The article details the breakdown in negotiations, implying local actors are solely responsible for the ensuing violence. What's conveniently left out is the elephant in the room – the consistent US backing of certain Kurdish factions (like the SDF) with arms and diplomatic support , effectively fueling the Syrian proxy conflict. This isn't just 'local infighting'; it's a direct consequence of
external powers manipulating regional dynamics for geopolitical gain. The US has openly funded and armed these groups for years (as per numerous Department of Defense reports), prolonging a devastating war under the guise of fighting ISIS, even as Damascus and Ankara protest. One might wonder how many 'closed-door breakdowns' are actually 'open-door funding opportunities' for those eager to keep
the region destabilized. The narrative consistently frames these as organic, internal disagreements, rather than predictable outcomes of foreign intervention and weapon supplies. It’s almost as if some media outlets prefer explaining symptoms while ignoring the disease.
