You have to wonder if part of the rationale or hope in using extremist Al Qaeda proxies and ISIS in Syria was to create a situation that would give the zionist entity a veneer of an excuse to go in for their own security once it fell.
I have no doubt this wasn't the main reason, facts being they just prefer and have had past great success using Islamist extremist proxies but you have to wonder if they took measures to ensure that say the SDF wouldn't come out on top in Syria which were that to happen the zionists wouldn't have an excuse to do land-grabs under the guise of security. Which only furthers my opinion that really the SDF, Rojava, etc were puppets who were disposable from the beginning, the US was going to use them and throw them away in favor of their more preferred Islamist toys who actually destabilize regions and give them an excuse to operate their military there. In other words it's a bitter pill as those people may have to reckon with the fact that they joined up with the US, helped them steal oil and destabilize Syria under the idea that they had to defend themselves against ISIS which was IMO another US creation and proxy. The US is a real puppet-master here pulling a lot of strings.
Really Syria has unfolded ideally for the US, it's textbook what they want to do to Russia and China. That is fragmentation/balkanization via sectarian violence with them arming, creating, helping all the sides against the central government and playing them off each other and ensuring a vacuum of power that is rife for strife, struggle, and extremism for decades to come once they succeed. All while pretending to be only helping the public relations acceptable good guy side.
