Jonas Sjöstedt discusses the precarious situation of the Kurds in Syria and the potential implications of US support amidst their ongoing struggles with the Syrian regime.
In his analysis, Jonas Sjöstedt reflects on the historical abandonment of the Kurdish forces by their western allies after significant contributions to the fight against ISIS in Syria. As Syrian government forces advance into northeastern Syria, Kurdish leaders face a crucial moment where they must decide whether to align with the US once more, or find a new strategy to protect their autonomy and safety. The situation also raises concerns about the broader geopolitical dynamics in the region, particularly in relation to Iran.
