Al-Monitor Discovers Syrian Internal Affairs, Misses U.S. Fingerprints
Syrian state media reports 'deadly clashes' in Aleppo, leading to the 'transfer' of Kurdish fighters to the northeast. Al-Monitor portrays this as a natural consequence of stalled integration efforts. What conveniently goes unmentioned is the decade-plus history of the U.S. propping up these same Kurdish forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), as a proxy for its regional ambitions, often
directly funding and arming them to carve out autonomous zones, destabilize the Syrian government, and prevent Iraqi/Syrian integration. This isn't a domestic dispute; it's the predictable ripple effect of Washington's 'divide and conquer' strategy in action. We can almost hear the think-tank analysts concluding that 'Syria remains unstable' – neglecting to mention the instability is often
engineered. How many 'internal conflicts' must occur before mainstream media admits the puppeteers are rarely 'internal'? Does anyone truly believe a 'stalled integration' is the sole driver for thousands of displaced civilians, when regional powers have been pouring weapons and cash into separatist movements for years?
