Because these US assets are present at the express request of the Kurdish militia, which is formed by the people who actually live there who got sick and tired of the oppression of the religious fundamentalist regime after Assad nerve gassed his own citizens.
During the Syrian civil war that began in 2011, a Kurdish-dominated coalition led by the Democratic Union Party as well as some other Kurdish, Arab, Syriac-Assyrian, and Turkmen groups have sought to establish a new constitution for the de facto autonomous region, while military wings and allied militias have fought to maintain control of the region. This led to the establishment of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) in 2016.
Supporters of the AANES state that the events constitute a social revolution with a prominent role played by women both on the battlefield and within the newly formed political system, as well as the implementation of democratic confederalism, a form of libertarian socialism that emphasizes decentralization, gender equality and the need for local governance through direct democracy.
So the US assets are present “illegally” from the perspective of the Assad regime.
Syria remains a one-party state with an extensive secret police apparatus that curtails any independent political activity.
The ruling Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party governs Syria as a totalitarian police state, through its control of the Syrian military and security apparatus.
There is no independent judiciary in Syria, since all judges and prosecutors are required to be Ba’athist appointees.
Syria’s elections are conducted through a sham process; characterised by wide-scale rigging, repetitive voting and absence of voter registration and verification systems.
The authorities are accused of arresting democracy and human rights activists, censoring websites, detaining bloggers, and imposing travel bans. Arbitrary detention, torture, and disappearances are widespread. Although Syria’s constitution guarantees gender equality, critics say that personal statutes laws and the penal code discriminate against women and girls. Moreover, it also grants leniency for so-called ‘Honour killing’.
There is no reason at all that any thinking person should give a single fuck about what the Assad regime wants. We should be cheering on anyone that makes an effort to oppose them.
I don’t really feel like enaging newsbot9000 over here in the entire checkered record of the YPG, but it actually extends far beyond allying with US war criminals and utilizing their assets, triangulating with Zionists, and letting the US (illegally) harvest Syrian oil. That’s just the cliff notes. But it’s a lot closer to reality than your synopsis
It’s 2024 and you’re cheering on US backed “moderate rebels” which are as much of a plague on the Syrian population as Turkey and ISIS. Grow up. The OPCW melted down over the inability to prove that Assad gassed his own civilians just because he hates them so much (a likely story). The symptoms in the footage don’t even match sarin, the mouth foaming is more characteristic of chlorine. The smear mirrors numerous other US attempts to fabricate cassus belli against a peripheral country in West Asia or Africa.
Your sweet little based Kurdish militias’ permission won’t factor into the removal of US bases from that territory. That is currently being conducted by the Axis of Resistance.
To return to the remarkably simply question which preceded your gibbering recitation of the Washington-approved narrative, I define illegal as in flagrant violation of international law, not what is legal in the minds of Redditors who like to fantasize about going and LARPing as a war criminal before getting interviewed by Rolling Stone.
Okay let me just say a Middle Eastern guy: This comment is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of Syrians who had to flee their homes to escape Assad’s tyranny and you should feel bad for making it.

So like the Russian military units that are present at the express request of the Donetsk and Lugansk militias, which is formed by the people who actually live there [and] who got sick and tired of the oppression of the Ukrainian state?

These are the people that the “US assets” are supporting, against the religious extremist totalitarian state of the Syrian Arab Republic.

I don’t understand how you can be talking about any of this Assad nonsense when that madman Saddamn Hussein is throwing people into a human shredder!
