Syrian Government Takes Control: A 'Stabilization' Narrative Erasing US Destabilization
📰 THE STORY: Al Jazeera reports that Syrian government forces have taken control after heavy fighting with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the country's northeast, following a truce, with President Ahmed al-Sharaa reportedly scheduled to meet SDF Chief Mazloum Abdi. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: This 'fighting with SDF' narrative glosses over the decade-long US
