Surviving Capitalism (Not) : US Expands Military Footprint in Syria to EIGHT Bases, ‘Modifies’ Kobani Air Base

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

US Expands Military Footprint in Syria to EIGHT Bases, ‘Modifies’ Kobani Air Base

The fundamental flaw with US Coalitions is that they do not include the Syrian Arab Army, Russia and their allies who have been systematically fighting ISIS & NATO state extremists, since the start of the externally waged war against Syria. The US coalition is, in reality, an uninvited, hostile force, violating Syria’s territorial integrity, operating under the false pretext of combatting ISIS while many reports expose the collusion between US coalition command & forces and ISIS.

What I found particularly interesting was a mention that the Syrian Kurds were divided on the issue of Kurdish independence, but the fact that the US has established bases on their territory is substantial evidence that the leadership of the Syrian Kurds are in favor of separatism and independence from the Syrian government.
