Aleppo Clashes: US-Armed Factions Kill Each Other While Washington Watches
Four dead in Aleppo from clashes between Syrian government forces and Kurdish fighters. While mainstream outlets focus on the immediate casualties, they conveniently gloss over the intricate web of foreign backing that keeps this conflict simmering. The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a significant Kurdish component, receives arms and training from Washington, ostensibly to fight ISIS.
Meanwhile, the Syrian government has its own international patrons. These factions, armed by various global powers, often find themselves facing each other, turning Syria into a perpetual proxy battleground. One might wonder, how many innocent lives are deemed acceptable collateral for these geopolitical chess games?
