The Syrian government has been pressing forward with an offensive against the SDF alongside tenuous negotiations for a ceasefire in northeastern Syria.
Living it Mossad: a Tribal war rather than a diplomatic sol'n between the Kurds and the Syrian war lord -what's his name- this week. Mossad can do a land grab post arab warmongering or during...Israel must expand...
This is a poorly written article strictly from the perspective of kurdish militants without any input from the majority Arab population living under SDF who reportedly suffered from oppression including torture and murder by the militia for simply expressing support for president Al Sharaa. I expect better from drop site than this. The Syrian govt gave SDF many concessions in negotiations and SDF reneged every time. At a certain point, you abide by agreements or your negotiating partner runs out of patience. The fact that all Arab tribes defected from SDF speaks volumes.
In the intro Dropsite clearly explains that the article is written by former SDF fighter Alexis Daloumis. It is not presented as a balanced analysis of the conflict. It simply offers the readers not readily available perspective of one side of the conflict. The article is not an endorsement of either side.
This piece really underscores how “integration” is being used as a euphemism for surrender. Demanding the immediate dissolution of the SDF and the liquidation of DAANES institutions was never a serious basis for negotiations—it was an ultimatum. Given the documented role the SDF played in defeating ISIS and stabilizing the region, the speed with which former allies are now willing to abandon them speaks volumes about how expendable Kurdish autonomy remains in regional and international calculations.
Finally, someone featuring the Kurds. The Kurds are an ancient people, with their own language (a dialect of Aramaic) and culture. NO, they do not only exist because of the Mossad, despite pro-Turkish notes below. Turkey, as it carried out genocide against the Armenians in World War I, is intent to eliminate the Kurds and Turkey put A-Sharaa in power. Anyone with real knowledge of Middle East history will tell that. The Kurds deserve protection. They over the last years helped fight against ISIS and were protected by the US, but Trump, with his isolationist policies, is turning his back on them.
Yes, & tRump almost abandoned them durin̈g his 1st term once they'd defeated ISIS. Said he didnt care. Apparently he reversed course whèn told about the oil - altho.a number of congresspeople put pressure on him since these Kurds as the YPG (along with some.Peshmerga) had fought ISIS so well on the ground with US air cover. I think they also still run POW camps holding ex-ISIS internationals. Wonder what will happen to them if the Kurds disband.
You’re being duped. The SDF is being manipulated by Mossad and CIA in order to fragment Syria. Israel has supported and armed Kurds in eastern Syria, northern Iraq and western Iran for decades. This is an open secret. The Kurds made a pact with the devil. This has nothing to do with so-called “national liberation.”
The Syrian government and al-Sharaa are the good guys. You’re cheering for the wrong side.
I bet there's been manipulation all round. I wouldnt doubt Israel's supported the YPG nor its parent the PKK but the roots of the latter lie in the Kurds not having their own state after WW1 altho the PKK (founded as a somewhat Marxist org by Ocalan) had its roots in
grievances Kurds had with the Turkish govt & even the social structure & accompanying civil wars inside Turkey. Allying with the .US against ISIS was yet another attempt to form their own state, in fact they almost did with "Rojava".

I still believe it should have a preamble of some kind, saying the SDF rebels or militias are US funded and supported. Much like ISIS ad Al-Qaeda.
