Syrian Army, SDF Clash: Who Funds the Forever War This Week?
Al Jazeera reports the Syrian army has deployed to rural Aleppo to prevent any regrouping by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The Kurds, who form the backbone of the U.S.-backed SDF, deny these accusations, stating they haven't deployed forces to the Deir Hafer front. This latest maneuver highlights the ever-shifting and heavily-funded alliances in Syria, where yesterday's ally is today's
adversary, all thanks to a consistent flow of foreign arms and 'support.' While Al Jazeera details troop movements, it conveniently omits the foundational context: the persistent foreign intervention that fuels these endless conflicts. The U.S. has poured billions into various factions in Syria ("rebels" then and the SDF now), alongside Gulf states and Turkey, ensuring the conflict
remains a perpetual motion machine. One might wonder how many more military maneuvers before someone asks who profits from these endless 'regroupings' that conveniently never fully resolve.
