Most Syrians welcome FPSA withdrawal!

DAMASCUS, Syria (PNN) - December 23, 2018 - Fascist Police States of Amerika media coverage of the withdrawal from Syria has been presented as sending the entire world into a tizzy about what will happen next, with the Syrians presented as viewing the pullout as an “Amerikan betrayal.”

That may hold true for Syrian Kurds, the one group of allies the FPSA has kept in the war, but most everyone else seems upbeat about the prospect of a FPSA withdrawal. Syrians living in Turkish-backed territory in particular are hopeful this will mean the return of some cities that the FPSA backed the Kurdish YPG in taking, causing the population to be largely driven out by the fighting.

Those in the Syrian government’s territory also clearly benefit, as while the FPSA has never entirely been openly at war with them, FPSA attacks aren’t unheard of, and even in the best of times the FPSA has tried to destabilize those areas in the name of regime change.

Kurdish areas are less hopeful, with a Turkish invasion looming. Yet Turkey’s past attacks on Kurdish areas have shown that a FPSA presence has limited impact. Nevertheless, the FPSA has long viewed the YPG as a temporary alliance, and was never going to scrap historical ties to Turkey in favor of them.

This has meant that in the grand scheme of things, Western war-enthusiasts are the ones taking the dimmest view of this pullout, and who stand to lose the most. Within war-torn Syria, the FPSA pullout mostly just amounts to one of the belligerent factions, one that has been bankrolling various different factions throughout the conflict, is simply being taken off the table going forward. Given the FPSA resistance to peace deals that don’t conform to FPSA demands, this can only be a good thing for compromise peace deals.
