At no point could Washington be certain of the YPG&#8217;s loyalty, as the group openly subscribes to a far-left, socialist ideology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">This is why President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/topics\/people\/donald-trump.html\">Donald Trump<\/a>&#8216;s recent decision to withdraw American troops from Syria and end his country&#8217;s partnership with the YPG was a welcome development for Turkey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">However, some critics unjustly accused the Trump administration of making a grave mistake and reversing America&#8217;s gains in the Syrian theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\n<strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">Three common misconceptions<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Most criticism of Trump&#8217;s decision to leave Syria rests on three common misconceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">First, the false assumption that the YPG has always been the default power-holder in northeastern Syria. In truth, the group seized power by force in the early stages of the Syrian civil war and, thanks to Washington&#8217;s extraordinary military support, came to control large chunks of territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Second, the mistaken belief that Turkey intends to &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-01-04\/turkey-slams-pompeo-for-don-t-slaughter-the-kurds-remarks\" target=\"_blank\">slaughter the Kurds<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0after the US withdrawal. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, many Syrian Kurds view Turkey as a safe haven, where they can be protected from hostile groups active in their country.\u00a0<\/span>Turkey welcomed tens of thousands of Kurds, Christians and Yazidis as refugees when ISIL came for them in Syria and Iraq. Today, many of these refugees are still reluctant to return to their villages &#8211; at least to the ones that have not been razed already &#8211; because they are afraid YPG forces could target them.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Third, <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">many critics of Trump&#8217;s plan to withdraw from Syria and hand over the responsibility of preventing ISIL&#8217;s resurgence in the region to Turkey mistakenly portray Ankara as &#8220;an aggressor&#8221;. Quite the contrary, the Turkish plan\u00a0makes a clear distinction between terrorists, moderate fighters who joined the PKK&#8217;s Syrian affiliate under wartime conditions, and local residents.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Our only objective in Syria is to address the root causes of radicalisation to deny ISIL an opportunity to regroup, to build the physical and social infrastructure to heal the wounds of war, and, by extension, prevent attacks against Turkish citizens.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">Defending past mistakes, not US interests<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Beyond these three misconceptions, some former US officials &#8211; including\u00a0<span>the former US envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, Brett McGurk &#8211; publicly criticised the Trump administration&#8217;s Syria policy not to defend US interests, but their misguided past actions and decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">McGurk,\u00a0<span>who left his post earlier than expected to protest against Trump&#8217;s decision to withdraw from Syria,<\/span> recently made the case that only the YPG-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces &#8220;provide stability in the areas that once made up the Islamic State in northeast Syria.&#8221;<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0However, the most recent developments in the region proved that the YPG has not been able to thwart the ISIL threat there, despite receiving billions of US taxpayer dollars in assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Last week, four American citizens &#8211; two soldiers, one Pentagon civilian and one contractor &#8211;\u00a0perished in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/01\/blast-northern-syrian-town-targets-soldiers-reports-190116115319189.html\" target=\"_blank\">suicide attack<\/a> claimed by ISIL\u00a0in Manbij, the northern Syrian town the YPG has refused to vacate despite repeated commitments by US officials, including McGurk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">On Monday, US servicemen narrowly escaped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/01\/isil-targets-joint-kurdish-convoy-northeastern-syria-190121155934249.html\">a car bomb<\/a><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> in the Hasakah province, a stronghold of the YPG.<\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">The sudden increase in the number of attacks on US troops suggests that the YPG is either unable or unwilling to stop ISIL&#8217;s operations in northeastern Syria.<\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">There are some steps that the US can take to alleviate the situation in Syria.
