The US is part of the problem in Syria, not of the solution

Turkey sees the policies the ABD pursues on Syria as an example of irresponsibility that is untrustworthy and ignores its own security sensitivities. In essence, the ABD's presence in Syria at this moment constitutes a very important part of the Syrian problem. Because the ABD is in Syria not to solve a problem but to deepen the problem further for the countries and peoples of the region and to produce new problems.

Its attempt to embellish a terrorist organization and market it as a "Democratic Force", to support this organization with tons of weapons it would not sell to a legitimate state, and to produce from it, if not a "democratic" force, then an important "armed force", is overturning all the political balances of both Syria and the region.

Turkey suffers the greatest harm from these overturned balances, and Turkey, above all the Syrian people, has to pay the heaviest bill. The ABD, for its part, does not fail to see Turkey's sensitivity on this matter, and so it tries to manage Turkey too, trying to give the impression that Turkey's sensitivities are being taken into consideration by sending out joint patrol units. Yet Turkey remembers this tactic very well from Manbij. The result of this tactic was the firm entrenchment of a PYD hegemony in which no space was left to Turkey and to the regional people, the Syrians.

Let no one suppose that the fait accompli in Manbij can continue in this way. Because the structure created is entirely contrary to Syrian sociology and demographic balances. It is already clear how many Syrians in Turkey have had to migrate because of this order imposed on Manbij and are waiting to return to their own homes and lands. However long the PYD relies on the weapons the ABD has loaded on it, let it not consider the place its own.

Now the game played in Manbij is seen repeating exactly the same in the east of the Euphrates too. Let no one expect us to be bitten a second time from the same snake's hole. While keeping Turkey as an ally in NATO, the ABD itself produces a threat, and from terrorist organizations at that, when one of the most important requirements of this alliance, the threat directed at one of its member countries, is expected to be taken upon itself.

Although this clear stance of Turkey is a clear stance against the policy of the ABD, it also provides the democratic, sincere, anti-terror circles inside the ABD with an opportunity to see what kind of affairs their own country is involved in. Probably many people in the ABD think their country is really fighting terror in Syria and is here in the name of positive values. Those acting on behalf of the ABD here, deceiving even themselves, are not aware of what mischief they are making in dragging their country into a great quagmire.

Turkey's attitude in fact gives the American people an opportunity to see where the country's resources are being spent. The ABD is making a mistake in Syria, and in fact the ABD president Trump also sees this and even he wants to say stop to this course. But a large lobby active in the ABD, in spite of Trump, is dragging Syria, in cooperation with terrorist organizations, into a dangerous adventure that will condemn it to constant instability and cause the loss of an ally like Turkey.

Every time Turkey has recently come face to face with the ABD in the region, Turkey has an overwhelming moral and ethical superiority. Because the ABD here is not based on any justification as to whom it does what good. The end of everything it does is more blood, war, destruction, instability, chaos and betrayal of its own friends, rapprochement with its enemies. The American public too will of course see the reckoning for this.

While that reckoning is awaited there, Turkey is forced to take its own measure against an ally that threatens its own security. This shame should be enough for the ABD.

The plan that the ABD implements in Syria through the terrorist organization it has equipped with tens of thousands of truckloads of weapons produces no result other than the de facto partition of Syria. Moreover, in this partition, millions of people are forced to migrate to many countries, Turkey first among them, from the region it has left to the administration of the terrorist organization it supports.

If the ABD's plan continues like this, the ways for the people who have migrated from these regions to return to their own lands will be completely closed. That the ABD, which knows how to take a thousand and one measures against migrants in its own country, produces migration to other countries through these coercive policies is in itself a great example of irresponsibility. This contradiction alone gives Turkey every legitimacy to carry out the intervention in question today.

Both before and beyond this is that the petty statelet stationed in the region constantly threatens Turkey's security as an extension of the PKK, which is a terrorist organization even in the ABD's own classifications. Let them think about the rest now.
