Does anyone else find the similarities with Marc Antony's attempts to create a coalition vs the Parthian Empire (and its failure) ... something similar to the modern day US-Israel-Abraham Accord team, and its (in my opinion) likely failure?
Thank you for this report about life on the ground in Syria around the Euphrates river. I cannot claim to have been paying attention, but have been aware that the recovery of Syria from their terrible war must be of continuing concern.
If I am reading this post accurately, you are suggesting that Arabs living on the west side of the Euphrates River are disenfranchised relative to the Kurds to the east.
In having read that Kurdish women in northern Iraq wear their hair uncovered, and in having seen reports of Kurdish women fighting hard alongside the men against Isis, I must say there is a soft spot in my heart for their ethnic group.
While it was necessary to strive against the liquidation of all remaining resistance against Assad, that did not mean that those remaining holdouts were innocent of all wrong doing. I remain concerned to see justice in Syria for those whom the Assad regime harmed. Syria, like the United States, needs a rule of law that strives to be fair to everyone.
There's no "rule of law, that strives to be fair to everyone," in the US , e hoa.
And it was the US that armed and fomented the militias, that rose up against Assad, not because of his brutal rule, but because Syria was the hub of the Axis of Resistance.
And now, an ex ISIS commander, who once had a $10 million bounty on his head, is now trump's best buddy.
The little I've read about Syria has left me very confused. Still, this article strikes me as weird. It seems to be about Rojava without mentioning Rojava. It suggests that the SDF is a bad actor here but doesn't include any SDF perspectives at all, unless I missed them. It calls the SDF "U.S.-backed", okay, but don't they also have Marxist-Leninist national liberation roots? The US backing someone typically means they are largely aligned, but the US allied with the freaking Soviet Union to fight a common enemy despite remaining mortal ideological enemies. This article just smells funny.
Can we get some more context and a more complete picture in the future?

I said, the United States needs a rule of law that aspires to be fair to everyone; I did not say, the United States has one.

US backed SDF says it all. They don’t want peace in the ME.
