The advance of jihadist forces, particularly HTS, has targeted Kurdish neighborhoods and civilian areas in Aleppo, further intensifying the humanitarian crisis gripping the entire country.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We have repeatedly stated that the rule of the jihadist HTS, which has no legitimacy whatsoever, cannot establish real authority over Syria\u2014and that this outcome is, in fact, precisely what is desired. Colani, installed by imperialist powers in the aftermath of the counter-revolution, has no right to decide how any community in Syria should live, to interfere in their lives, or to speak on their behalf. For this reason, HTS\u2019s actions against Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo are illegitimate and unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yet those who hypocritically call for war while deliberately ignoring Colani\u2019s identity and the jihadist, collaborationist line he represents are also lending indirect support to the imperialist trap into which Turkey is being drawn step by step.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today, every actor on the Syrian stage has effectively accepted the regional plan dictated by imperialism. The conflicts that have emerged are not the result of clear, opposing fronts, but rather of a bargaining process in which an agreed-upon framework is pulled in different directions. From HTS to the SDF, from Turkey to the Gulf states, all actors place the approval and backing of U.S. imperialism above all else.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of this jointly managed transformation is obvious: the de facto destruction of Syria and the abandonment of all its communities to vulnerability and violence. Each regional actor involved is now attempting to shield itself from the consequences of the final form this destruction will take\u2014consequences that will inevitably come back to strike them as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Within this framework, Israel\u2019s expansionist agenda in the region is treated as unquestionable. The encirclement of Iran and the transformation of the entire region into a U.S.\u2013Israeli military and operational hub constitute the central objective. Syria, in particular, is to be turned into a reservoir of cheap labor, with free-trade zones facilitating the unrestricted movement of capital. The aim is to reduce Syria to a fragmented, dependent, and politically hollow entity. The beneficiary of this process is clear.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As Turkish capital seeks to expand further into a country permanently destabilized by war, hunger, poverty, and open external intervention, Turkey itself becomes increasingly fragile and exposed. The AKP government\u2019s decision to position itself as a guarantor for the jihadist HTS\u2014while step by step serving U.S. and Israeli interests and portraying Syria\u2019s destruction as a \u201csuccess\u201d\u2014poses a serious danger for Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To those who boast about the image they have collectively created in Syria, we remind them of what that image leaves out:<\/p>\n<p>The liberation of both Syria and Turkey can only come through the people rising up and rejecting this war of redivision.<\/p>\n<p>No people\u2019s fate can be confined to the image of destruction you have created\u2014and it never will be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The imperialist project imposed on Syria through the interventions of the United States along with Britain, Israel, and Turkey has pushed the country to the threshold of yet another phase of devastation and disaster.
