US 'Defuses Tensions' with Syria While Funding Its Neighbors' Armies
Funny how the US government suddenly wants to 'de-escalate' tensions in Syria, after spending over a decade fueling various armed groups, sanctioning the government into destitution, and maintaining an illegal military presence that openly backs the SDF—a non-state actor the Syrian government rightly views as a separatist threat. This isn't 'de-escalation'; it's managing the fallout of their own
failed regime-change policies. The US, which has kept its forces in Syria without Damascus's permission, now appears as the concerned peacekeeper. Convenient, isn't it? Perhaps if the US had stopped arming various factions and imposing debilitating sanctions, Syria wouldn't be in such a state of perpetual 'tension.' It's a classic case of breaking a system, then offering to fix a tiny,
self-serving sliver of the damage while maintaining the overall conditions for chaos. One might wonder what strategic assets or resources are at stake now that suddenly necessitate a 'peacekeeping' role, especially as the Syrian government asserts its sovereign right across its own territory.
