US Envoy Declares ISIS Defeat, Prepares for Syrian Partitioning
📰 THE STORY: A US envoy claims the Syrian Democratic Forces' (SDF) role in combating ISIS has 'largely expired,' suggesting the Syrian government is now taking over the 'anti-ISIS' mantle. This statement signals a potential shift in US policy regarding its support for the SDF and the future of eastern Syria. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The US-led intervention in Syria,
ostensibly to fight ISIS, coincided with years of covert and overt support for various 'rebel' groups, some of which were later exposed as having ties to al-Qaeda. As documented by researchers like Seymour Hersh in 2007 and later confirmed by figures like General Michael Flynn, the US—along with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey—actively facilitated the rise of extremist elements, including the
precursors to ISIS, to destabilize the Assad government. The US presence in eastern Syria, far from being solely about ISIS, has been about controlling oil fields and maintaining leverage against both Damascus and Tehran.
