#Washington failed #miserably in the Middle East and withdrawal from #Syria could cost its allies dearly
Under the headline: “Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan: American Fiasco”, the French newspaper Le Figaro said that the White House by announcing the withdrawal of his country's forces from the Syrian-Turkish border would have given the green light to Ankara to invade the area of “Rojava” in northeastern Syria Donald Trump has radically changed the course of US policy toward Syria by betraying the Kurds, abandoning them and pushing them de facto into the arms of the Syrian regime and its Russian ally. Trump's decision also shocked Washington's allies in its fight against IS, particularly European allies.
The newspaper said that the Turkish attack against the Kurds in the north of Syria may push the YPG to withdraw from the Euphrates River and go north, which may leave room for the return of jihadists to those areas. The potential loss of Kurdish fighters to the Turkish army could cause a wave of displacement of the civilian population and the return of pro-Ankara fighters.
The termination of US support for the Kurds gives the Syrian regime in some way an opportunity to regain control of Syria's eastern regions, she said. As for Washington's Western allies, the threat of a Turkish invasion of the Rojava region is linked to the future of tens of thousands of jihadists and their families who are currently captured by Kurdish guerrillas. They are detained.
After its military operations, Turkey will be responsible for all ISIL fighters captured in the region over the past two years.
Iranian-backed Shiite militias want to expel the last US soldiers
Thanks to sophisticated Iranian technical equipment capable of penetrating armored vehicles, pro-Iranian Shiite militias, according to the Pentagon, have killed more than 600 US troops until the end of their deployment in Iraq in 2011.
In return, she pointed out that the war waged by Westerners and Iran against the "State" brought the enemies tactically.
Trump is gradually leaving Iraq in the orbit of Iran despite the enmity of their countries, she said. He is almost helpless in the absence of any political party behind him and is in a position to deal with Tehran, whose militias work closely with its Revolutionary Guards.
The other current pro-Iranian militia project is to create a parallel self-financing economy and survive in the long run, even if the state budget has given them $ 2.16 billion, or 20 percent more than in 2018, and 2, she said. 5 times more than the Ministry of Water Resources.
Afghanistan: The Longest War
Regarding Afghanistan, she said that 18 years after the beginning of the US intervention in Afghanistan in response to the events of September 11, 2001, Donald Trump dreams of an end to the conflict, but the secret negotiations conducted by his administrations with the Taliban suddenly stopped by Trump's decision. However, the paper stressed that Trump really intends to withdraw and leave Afghanistan under the control of the Taliban, after a marathon war is the longest for the military of his country.
According to Le Figaro, Donald Trump embodied the US defeat in the Middle East and put an end to a military adventure that cost his country about $ 2000 billion in which thousands of military personnel were killed.
Just as Obama's escape in 2011 gave rise to the influence of IS, Trump's withdrawal could also cost dearly to Washington's helpless allies, including France.
