The recent events in Syria were entirely predictable. Anyone who has any understanding of the history of the region, American-Kurdish relations, and the geopolitics of it all, knew what was coming.
America had used Kurds as proxies in the past, together with the Shah, only to throw them overboard when their usefulness expired.
That was fifty years ago. Nothing has changed.
Once Assad ran away to Moscow like a little bitch last year the Americans had no use for the Kurds or their pet project the "SDF" anymore. Their job was done.
All Turkey, Israel, and the Gulf monarchies had to do was stand firm, pay off some folks, and Syria would fall in their lap. And it has.
Israel has taken control of southern Syria without a fight, Turkey is consolidating power in northern Syria with relative ease, and the Gulf monarchies have their guy in Damascus.
But he rules over a hollow state with little popular support. The Syrian refugees in Europe aren't going back home anytime soon. Meanwhile the Kurds as well as other minorities like the Alawites and Druze are still being denied basic rights, security, and citizenship in this artificial state. So it's only a matter of time before the next popular revolt.
But this disaster could have been prevented had the Kurds rejected the American hand and refused to go along with their anti-ISIS charade. What did they profit by taking Raqqa? Why put faith in liars, faggots, and pedophiles which is what the U.S. political establishment and military is composed of?
I don't know who's dumber, the communist Europeans or the communist Kurds. Ideology really makes one stupid and even suicidal. And that's what's happening here. Europe and the Kurds are committing suicide, each for different reasons.
Europe is giving the terrorist state in Damascus cash with no strings attached and no agreement on refugee resettlement or the future of ISIS prison camps.
Once the thousands of ISIS prisoners are freed by Damascus I expect many will travel back to Europe and cause havoc there, under the guidance of Turkey.
And I also expect Israel, together with the United States, and Turkey, to send these terrorists eastward into Iran to unleash chaos there.
The SDF has been tasked with guarding these terrorists without realizing that they would eventually be freed. It has never been a genuine independent power with its own political project and interests in mind but a slave of the Americans.
Had it been a free force who sincerely cared about the safety of their people it would have executed these bastards instead of keeping guard over them. That was the only sane and moral solution.
But obviously Washington had other plans for these terrorist scum. They aim to release them into the wild after years of hibernation.
They do not pose a danger to Syria because their buddies are in power. Iraq, Europe, the Kurds, and Iran will be their targets.
Syria's role in the emerging NATO-Israeli war against Iran is critical. The Islamic Republic has already been largely defanged geopolitically by the removal of Assad. But now that Damascus has consolidated power it will look to expand into Iraq and put pressure on Iranian allies in that country.
Syria is a geopolitical weapon, not a country. That has to be kept in mind.
And from a geopolitical point of view a stronger anti-Iranian Syria is more desirable for Israel and the United States than a weak Syria at war with itself. And if that means sacrificing the Kurds to Turkey and Damascus then so be it.
Geopolitics has always been a dirty game.
