I'm old enough that I remember the invasion of Iraq. Even back then people around me were saying that things at least were stable under Saddam.
The US has also been stealing Syrian oil for the past 10 years through the Rojava region (project? state? I'm not sure what to call it). Kurds in Rojava are letting the US exploit the oil they control in exchange for 'protection'. As your essay points out, the US never really offers protection or good deals. Everything they do is for their interests alone.
There's actually this channel on Youtube named Civ Div from a US mercenary who willingly served in Rojava and now Ukraine. Strange how he'd just happen to be in both places 😂 but he makes interesting videos if you look beyond the obvious propaganda, as he's had experience on the frontline.
I have heard that before - that things were more stable under Saddam. I saw a video in passing the other day of a Libyan who fought against Gaddafi, saying he would fight with him if he was still alive. You are exactly right - the US has been stealing oil for the past 10 years, with the facilitation of these "liberation groups." All the US/West and their vassals have brought to SWANA is death, destruction and misery.
thank you so much for connecting the dots between zionism, US imperialism, and the very explicit and intentional de-stabilization of the SWANA region. this is a brilliant and informative analysis that I wish you didn't have to write

Syria, Ukraine, Gaza - it is all connected.

Thank you Rimsha for taking the time to read it, I appreciate it! As you said, now, more than ever we have to keep connecting the dots.
Excellent analysis !!!
