The United States has abandoned the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), leaving the group exposed to the Islamist-led Syrian Transitional Government (STG), which captured most of the north and east of the country in a lightning offensive.
The government began its offensive from Aleppo city on January 6, using the failure of a merger agreement signed with the SDF in March of last year as a casus belli. Government forces brought the Kurdish neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsuod and Ashrafieh under their control by January 10.
With no reaction from the U.S., the STG moved its offensive to the eastern Aleppo countryside on January 13, mainly to the towns of Maskanah and Deir Hafer.
Following mediation from Washington, SDF commander-in-chief, Mazloum Abdi said on January 16 that his forces would withdraw from the towns the next day. STG forces violated the withdrawal agreement by attacking Kurdish forces on January 17. Later on the same day, the government said that it would attack the town of al-Tabqah in the southern Raqqa countryside.
An uprising by Arab tribes broke out in Deir Ezzor on the same day in Deir Ezzor. Tribal fighters backed by STG forces captured the entire eastern Deir Ezzor countryside, including the al-Omar field and the Conoco gas plant.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and Abdi signed a new merger agreement later on January 18. However, it collapsed within a few hours.
The next day, January 19, STG forces entered the city of Raqqa and began advancing in Kurdish-majority al-Hasakah, amid a complete collapse in the ranks of the SDF. In al-Hasakah, government forces entered al-Shaddadi in the southern countryside and released ISIS detainees from a prison there.
On January 20, STG forces expanded their control into the eastern countryside of al-Hasakah, capturing al-Hawl camp, where over 25,000 relatives of ISIS are held, as well as the al-Ya’rubiyah crossing on the border with Iraq.
The government later on the same day announced a four-day ceasefire as a part of an agreement with the SDF to implement the January 18 agreement. Commenting, U.S. envoy to Syria Tom Barraсk said that the purpose of the SDF had “expired.”
All in all, it appears that the U.S. has abandoned the SDF. The government promised not to enter Kurdish areas, but its forces are already preparing a final push to capture al-Hasakah and Kobani.

never trust you .
scum inferior species americunts always betray
all you ugly americunts must be exterminated–you are inferior species
it is important you make a difference and spread the truth about the israeli aipac lobby their influence over american policy making and how they used epstein to blackmail politicians to do israels bidding. if you want to make a difference go on x and other sites and ytube odysee bitchute rumble and educate people. sticking to trolling wont change a thing. only awareness and understanding can make a difference. if enough people know what israel is doing it can be stopped.

the kurds have the brains of turds. god damn, trusting uncle sam..
this shows again that cia and mossad recruiters can not be trusted. the promise of the oil control and profits was given to israel. israel does not share profit
as i watch this all unfold the word sociopaths returns to mind often. should these thoughts include the generationaly wealthy inbred families of globalist history, or just those who work for them ?
www1 and ww2 and todays conflicts are byproducts
turks biggest mistake is, not expelling kurds from within turkey’s borders same as like armenians, and granting citizenship to these kurds in turkey.
not revoking the citizenship of kurds in turkey is a huge mistake.
the kurds didn’t help us in normandy. fract them fract them all.
caedite eos. novit enim dominus qui sunt eius.
this is what we always do
kurds have always been dumb whores. i hope they learn who they can actually trust one day
many of the local terrorists left to iranian borders to attack them just to see their home base fall.
it is like estonians moving to fight in ukraine just to see that russia took over estonia before their train reached to destination.
this is clear example hiw powerful they are without america. those women warriors, all media stunts. saa should have dealt with these back then…but they were protected by muricants. theirs role is over, they are sold out and as this one shlomo said ‘expired’. they were good to make unrest. now their role is expired. everything is played by numbers and zio-juice-americun script. leter by letter.
ramses dagon aneiricuntscum etcera sewing your tapestry of turda doctrine dauly dutifully and diligently as an agent provocateur of anal defecation .
the saa should have dealt with them but the united states was protecting the sdf with airstrikes against a saa solution. and iran and russia didnt do enough to protect the saa with a airial umbrella /shield to launch such a operation. this is also why the last part of idlib was never liberated. had they provided proper anti air protection against israeli usa and turkish airial intervention the saa could have defeated all seperatist groups.
you inferior americunt are only suited to be submissive janitors and sweep floors for weinstein owned macdonalds franchise swallow jizz in tel aviv gay bars
the best chance the kurds had was intergrating back with assad and defending syria against turkish and israeli influence. they choose the usa over them. and america and israel stabbed them in the back when they needed their help. these seperatists brought it up on themselves. if they didnt steal the oil from syria assad would not have fallen and they would have had full autonony
