Jun 12, 2022 | Military activity in northern Syria is accelerating, Turkey is intent on striking at US-backed Kurdish militants who in turn are seeking aid not from the US but from Syria and Russia.

The situation in Syria is another illustration of the true nature of US foreign policy and another glimpse at what becomes of America’s many “partners.”

Turkey urges Russia to fulfill deals to clear N. Syria of terrorists

Ankara says it must act because Washington and Moscow failed to keep their promise to push the YPG 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the border after a 2019 Turkish operation, adding that attacks from YPG-controlled areas have increased.

…

In 2019, an operation into northeast Syria against the YPG drew widespread international condemnation, prompting Finland, Sweden and others to restrict arms sales to Turkey. Now Turkey is blocking the two Nordic countries’ historic bid to join NATO because of the weapons ban and their support of the terrorist group.

Syrian Kurdish authorities to stop wheat going to govt territory

Kurdish fighters and their allies control about a quarter of Syria, the largest chunk outside state hands. It is rich in oil, water, and farmland – leverage for Kurdish leaders, though their attempts to negotiate with Damascus to safeguard their autonomy have gone nowhere.

Three provinces which account for nearly 70 percent of the country’s wheat production lie mostly in the hands of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), led by the Kurdish YPG militia.

While the SDF’s U.S. ally has pushed to ramp up the pressure on Damascus, Kurdish officials said this did not prompt the new decision.
