Syria – The End of an Illegal Occupation , OR NOT !

The Flight from the Levant: America Abandons its Decade-Long Failure

The News: Reports indicate the U.S. is preparing to withdraw all 1,000 troops from Syria within the next two months. Strategic outposts, including Al-Tanf and Al-Shaddadi, have already been evacuated or handed over to the new Syrian state authorities ( the government of the Joulani , previously one of the leaders of ISIS ) .

The Analysis:

A decade of "managed chaos" and resource theft is ending in a quiet retreat. The U.S. claim that its presence is "no longer required" due to the so-called new Syrian state’s capacity to fight ISIS is a face-saving exit strategy. The reality is that the illegal occupation of Syrian soil became a strategic liability. The Resistance (the previous government Syrian Arab Army and its allies) has survived the greatest proxy war of the 21st century. The integration of the SDF into the national army confirms the failure of Washington's attempt to partition the country. To some it is a victory for the territorial integrity of Syria and a crushing defeat for the "New Middle East" project. However , we need to be realistic , especially that the South of Syria is occupied by the Israelis .

Conclusion:

The withdrawal from Syria is not a testament to the resilience of the new Syrian state especially with presence and occupation of Israel the South of Syria !
