The United States claims it has deployed a number of special forces troops and armored vehicles along the border between Kurdish-held northeast Syria and Turkey, with most of the occupying troops sent to the area around Darbasiya, which was the site of heavy Turkish attacks earlier this week.
The justification is that the occupying troops are there "monitoring the situation,” though Syrian Kurds say that in practice the U.S. deployment is an attempt to establish a "buffer” to try to limit fighting between the two sides, which has been raging since Turkey’s airstrikes were carried out.
This isn’t the first time the U.S. has deployed troops in Syria specifically to create a buffer zone (read no-fly zone) on the pretext of helping Syrian refugees or preempting a Turkish attack. The idea to create a buffer zone, a no-fly zone, or whatever they call it, is designed to create a safe haven for Qaeda-allied "moderate” terrorist groups fighting the Syrian government and its Iranian-Russian-Hezbollah allies.
They know they are losing the war and they want to make sure their "moderate” goons will have a breather to resupply. That explains why the U.S. also insists on selecting and sending various terrorist groups to the peace talks; it wants to make sure it gets in the political process what it couldn’t get on the battlefield i.e., regime change and/or having a say in Syria’s future.
The U.S. has at the same time intensified the strategy of upping its military footprint there, with full backing from regional vassals. These puppet regimes actively do the bidding of Western interests and are compensated in exchange for creating failed states and eliminating rivals. As appalling as it may be, this is what it is, even as they vie for different political outcomes and/or silly "buffer” zones.
But this has all changed in recent months. The war on Syria is a war they can’t win. The counter-terror allied forces of Iran, Syria, Russia and Hezbollah are advancing on all fronts, they have liberated Aleppo and the surrounding regions, and for the first time, ISIL and Al-Qaeda goons no longer seem invincible. On the other hand, the alliance doesn’t want what Washington does offer in the peace process: Endless war, buffer zones, colonial carve-ups, undoing old borders, and regional provisions for military and energy domination.
For sure, the alliance members have every intention to rally public will in the current environment as well: If anyone is to replace President Bashar Assad, it will have to be the people of Syria themselves, not the War Party, and certainly not its expendable partners in crime and terror proxies. Mind you, this also has to happen after the real war on terror is on.
One final point: The Zionist regime of Israel wants the war of attrition in Syria to continue. This way it can force the Palestinians and other Arab civilians to give in, accept Israeli occupation, and stop supporting Hezbollah in any form, whether armed or unarmed, or busy fighting U.S.-Saudi terror proxies in Syria.
Another reality is that Israel is working very hard to prevent any peace deal in Syria. To this end, it continues to pour petrol on the fires in the war-torn country by supporting the terrorist groups in the Golan Heights - even including Al-Qaeda and ISIL. This helps kill the peace process, prolong the war, and turn away the guns from Israel. The chaos of the war also provides a cover which helps Israel to assassinate its enemies in Syria and Lebanon, all while killing more Palestinians and stealing their lands with great impunity and no international backlash at the United Nations.
All this and more is the reason why the world community should say no to America’s colonial buffers in Syria. If history of Palestine and the Gaza wars is any indication, buffer zones are only designed to be used as launching pads for future wars of deceit and aggression, land grabs, and state-sponsored terrorism and more.
