DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The Kurdish forces were surprised after the U.S. turned its back to them and declared decision to withdraw military men from Syria as foreseen by Lebanese Hezbollah resistance group Leader Seyed Hassan Nasrallah.
In a growing number of posts that imply the Kurdish militants' deep regret over their dependence on the U.S. military support against a Turkish incursion, several social media accounts of the Kurdish militants noted the U.S. retreat from northern and northeastern Syria and acknowledged their fatal miscalculation to fully trust and gamble their fate on the U.S. military backup.
In a speech on August 26, 2018, the Hezbollah leader had praised the Syrian Kurds for their vigilance and starting negotiations with the Syrian government, saying that the Kurds entered the talks after they were skeptical about United States’ loyalty and they were not sure when the U.S. government would leave them.
"We know that Pentagon has set aside $500mn-$750mn under the name of protecting Kurds, the Kurdish People Protection Units (YPG). What is this share of the budget for? Is it for establishing democracy in Syria or it is for supporting the Kurds who must know from experience that the United States uses you as an instrument along with its own plans, attacks or in its war in Syria, be it against the Islamic Republic (of Iran), or against Russia, or against the Axis of Resistance,” Nasrallah said at the time.
He warned the Kurds that "they (the Americans) eventually will only think of their own interests and will leave you alone, and will sell you like slaves in the market”.
"This is the Hezbollah leader's correct assessment and predictions that come true," the social media accounts of the Kurdish militants affiliated with the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) admitted after the U.S. decision to withdraw forces from Syria.
The unexpected announcement by President Trump that he would draw down the U.S. military presence in Syria to make way for Turkish troops was greeted by the Kurds as a betrayal of the trust established during the fight, which has cost the lives of more than 12,000 members of the SDF.
For the Kurds, the decision to permit Turkey to invade marked the latest in a long history of betrayals of Kurdish aspirations by the U.S.
