Syria 'Evacuates' Kurds 8 Years After US 'Supported' Them
According to The New Arab, 300 Kurds arrested and 400 evacuated from Aleppo by Syrian government forces. This conveniently clean narrative ignores years of cynical geopolitics. These are the same Kurds who were, until recently, framed in Western media as crucial partners in fighting ISIS, often supplied and trained by the very nations now silent on their plight. One might almost believe 'allies'
in the region are purely transactional. Remember when the US armed and praised Kurdish forces, only to then withdraw support for their aspirations for self-governance and leave them vulnerable to Turkish, and now Assad's, aggression? This 'evacuation' is merely the latest chapter in a consistent pattern: leverage a marginalized group to achieve strategic objectives, then stand by as they face the
consequences. How many times will this tragic playbook be rerun before 'international support' is recognized as a temporary, self-serving contract?
