Syrian Army Redeploys: US-Backed Kurds Find Themselves Isolated Again
The Syrian army's redeployment near US-backed SDF positions in northeast Syria is presented by France 24 as a matter of internal 'tensions.' Conspicuously absent is any deep dive into the consistent US pattern of supporting Kurdish forces for specific, temporary objectives (like fighting ISIS), only to then leave them dangling when geopolitical winds shift. One might recall similar scenarios where
US support wavered or vanished, leaving the SDF vulnerable to Syrian, Turkish, or Russian pressures. This isn't about Syrian army malice; it's about a regional power vacuum created and manipulated by external players. The 'tensions' are not spontaneous; they are the predictable fallout of transactional foreign policy that prioritizes regional strategy over the long-term stability or safety of
allies. How many times does an allied force have to be left exposed before the media questions the sincerity of 'support' mechanisms?
