The U.S military involvement in Syria came after U.S. President Barack Obama’s request from Congress to vote on the use of American military forces in Syria in 2013. The process later transformed into a so-called war against Daesh, and it has only recently ended up with the U.S. formation of an army consisting of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK/YPG) terrorists in northern Syria. The pretexts and lies the U.S. has been utilizing on its way to create a 30,000-strong terror army for the purpose of implementing its separatist plans in the region are as follows:

Fight against Daesh

The U.S. has justified its presence in Syria saying its intention was to eradicate Daesh. However, it’s been revealed that it was the U.S., which subcontracted Daesh, among other regional terrorist organizations that it designed, to commit crimes in Syria.

In 2016, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Obama founded Daesh. “He's the founder of ISIS [Daesh]. I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton,” said Trump.

Killing of civilians

As opposed to its claims to fight against the killings of civilians in Syria, the U.S. has devastated Syrian towns where it killed tens of thousands of unarmed civilians and conducted ethnic cleansing.

Coalition in Syria

The U.S. initiated a coalition to fight against Daesh, of which Turkey and European countries were a part. The U.S., however, cooperated with the PKK/YPG instead of the coalition it led. Although the U.S. has claimed several times that it supported the territorial integrity of Syria, it has been forming the basis for the establishment of an ethnic federation with an army of its own in northern Syria.

Support for the opposition in Syria

Contrary to its early promises to support the opposition in Syria and train the Free Syrian Army (FSA) against the Assad regime, it only trained PKK/PYD terrorists in Syria.

Cooperation with Turkey

The U.S. has only recently created an army of 30,000-strong PKK/YPG terrorists on the Turkish-Syrian border, which has been regarded as a high-end security issue by Turkey, though it had previously promised to cooperate with the nation in Syria.

‘Kobani’

The U.S. made PKK change the Syrian town of Ayn al-Arab to “Kobani,” and spread propaganda by saying that Turkey “turned a blind eye during Daesh’s occupation of Kobani”. It made its biggest move in favor of the legitimization of the PKK/YPG and planted terrorists in Ayn al-Arab under the pretext of fighting Daesh.

SDF and Manbij

In an attempt to conceal its cooperation with the PKK/YPG in Syria, the U.S. turned to the umbrella organization, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is composed of YPG/PYD terrorists. The U.S. first claimed it would cleanse Manbij of Daesh elements and that the PKK/PYD would retreat to the east bank of the Euphrates River. However, the PKK has settled in Manbij under the disguise of the SDF.

So-called ‘safe zones’

The U.S. promised to return the habitants of the cities occupied by Daesh back to their cities as soon as they were cleansed of Daesh. However, it never let citizens return to their homes which are now occupied by the PKK operating under U.S. command.

“No arms to PKK/PYD”

The U.S. at first denied sending weapons to the PKK/PYD terrorist organization. Then, it went on to say that it didn’t send “heavy weapons.”

In the end, it accepted dispatching weapons to the PKK/PYD, amounting to approximately 5,000 trucks, containing state-of-the-art weapons, ammunition and vehicles.

Despite the U.S. assurances that the shipments of heavy weapons to the PKK/PYD terrorists wouldn’t constitute any threat to Turkey, it was those arms terrorists used to martyr Turkish soldiers in southeast Turkey.

Raqqa

The U.S. went as far as suggesting Turkey conduct a joint operation with the PKK in Raqqa. Although it promised civilians wouldn’t get hurt, thousands died in Raqqa. It also announced that it would cooperate with Saudi Arabia in the re-construction process of Raqqa city which is now in ruins by the hand of the U.S.

Astana and Sochi

Although the U.S. announced that it supported the Astana and Sochi process, it undermined this process, which was an effort to bring a political solution to Syrian crisis with the mediation of Turkey, Russia and Iran.
