So, the Government of the United States of America, it seems, has decided that it should seek to annex a part of the Syrian State, for its own purpose.
Something which it has chosen to attempt to justify in the context of maintaining its support for the rebel forces which it has spawn in Syria.
The so-called Syrian Democratic Forces. This is, of course, a military force, which means that the Americans are supporting this rebel army, which then intend to morphed into an Americanised entity.
Intended to serve what the American policy-makers see as their own goals and interests. And not those of the Syrian people and State.
This imperialist force will certainly not be a 'Syrian Defence Force', intended to secure the Syria-Turkey-Iraq borders.
Only the Syrian, Turkish and Iraqi states have the authority to set up and administer such a force.
This intended forces would be an 'American Occupation Force', straddling the Syrian-Turkish-Iraqi border.
Even if the forces comprises members of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces.
That would not give it any legitimacy, since it would be operating under the orders of Washington and serving the interests of the Americans.
As for any Syrians serving in this Army, well, they would have to be considered as mercenaries and traitors.
It is difficult to see how they could be considered anything else, even if it is accepted that they have little option but to sing the tune of their paymasters, in order to continue the rebellion against their country.
Which raises the question as to the paradox confronting them, that, in fighting against what they see as the injustices of the government of their country.
They should have to betray their own principles, and the very people they said they have been fighting for, the Syrian people.
To be continued!
