Muslim Brotherhood 'out', SDF 'in'

While we,as a whole nation, areblending into an agenda thatwastes years, on the other side of the Atlantic,Trump made a noteworthy decision.

The process of includingcertain Muslim Brotherhoodstructures in Egypt, Lebanon,and Jordan on the lists of"Foreign Terrorist Organizations"and "Specially DesignatedGlobal Terrorists"has begun.started.

Although at first glance it may seem like it doesn't concern us much, we can say that this is a decisionthat quietly but fundamentally shakes the political anatomy of the Middle East.Let's speak plainly;

the real echo of the decision is not in Cairo, Amman, or Ankara; but on theHasakah–Kobani–Raqqa line.line.will be felt in.

Washington has taken up the pen to update its proxy force protocol in the Middle East,it appears.it appears.

Let's take a closerlookat it.Let us put on our masks and flip through the pages of recent history a little.

After Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, I said, "It seems the shelf life of the Muslim Brotherhood has expired." I asked, "Why did Hamas pave the way for this process that would lead to its own destruction?we had asked.

We had underlined that their imperialist masters had broken their pens. We hademphasized.

Yet, the Muslim Brotherhood was the most useful apparatus of the Greater Middle East Project (BOP).

In 1928, England was trying to suppress the Arab nationalismthatwas beginning to sprout in Egypt. was designed to block its pathbut experienced its golden ageafter taking the leading role in America's Middle East planning following the Cold War.ithad experienced.

After September 11it was marketed to the international public as a structure where politicalIslam, presented as an antidote to radical Islam, became institutionalized.

When it hit a wall during the Arab Spring, it fellout offavor.

MIt suffered defeats in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya. They turned a blind eye toits presence in Gaza for a while longerto strengthenNetanyahu's legitimacy in Israel.

The Muslim Brotherhood has fulfilled its mission, Islamized the Palestinian cause, anddividedandfragmented it.like Netanyahu, a religious, racist, fascist political figure's way of staying in power for years is to create a legitimate excusehad established.

The West, starting from 2013, shelved its project of "bringing the Muslim Brotherhood to power in the Middle East and North Africa," andchanged its strategyregarding the region.

To put it briefly,the imperialists' goal of shaping the MiddleEast as they desire, andTo consume the region's hydrocarbon resources, and to bring the trade route coming from the East under their own control, they no longer needed the Muslim Brotherhood.

The new players in the new strategy became Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf countries, and India. But here The survival of Israel was of critical importance.

America put the Kurdish cardon the table for this.

They had already been in aclose relationshipfor a long time.

It pushed the Muslim Brotherhood aside, andbrought the Kurds to the fore as its newproxy, and recalibrated its strategy.

Let us underline that this was not merely an ideological decision.

The Muslim Brotherhood's bsystematically narrowing the political, social, and organizational infrastructure in the region;cutting off financing and logistics channels; and at the same time, exerting a deterrent effect on states or social movementsclose to the Brotherhood...

It would also be wrong to evaluate the issue solely as the removal of the Brotherhood from the equation; this isalso a shift in America's security architecture from 'ideological organizations togeopolitical actors'.geographic/ethnic-based actors' transitionprocess can also be seen as.

The Muslim Brotherhood, for Americaat one time, was apragmatic option that came to the fhad emerged. Due to both its social base and itsregional reach,it was sometimes seen as usable and at other times as a controllableforce.However,at a certain point, Washington

decided that any entity with an ideological network structure that transcends nationalbordersdecided not to work with anyorganization.

Because these organizations are structures that areoutside the state but act like a state, recognize no borders, and at the same timepose a security risk,and do not align with America'sregional projects,to structures.frontoftheprocess.

Trump's decision to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, and America'sideological proxy in the Middle Eastclose the era of 'proxy' andtransition to the concept of 'controllable geographic proxy'as a political declaration.We can see thisas such.

The first and strongest candidate for this conceptis, naturally, in Turkey, kknown briefly as the Syrian Democratic Forces.

In other words, the Syrian branch of theterrorist organization PKK...

The organization's geographical dominance and transparent chain of command for America iis important. Unlike the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization'sdecisions, leadership structure, and chain of command on the ground can be read by Washington and even directly controlled.

Its borders are defined, its territory is defined, itsgovernance structureis defined.

This, for the American militarybureaucracy's preferred “predictable proxy” profile it is possible to say.

The Pentagon has few actors with proven field performance at its disposal. The SDF is one of these actors and IIn the fight againstISIS, it demonstrated the ability to work in sync with the American militarymore effectively than any otherregional power.

For this reason, the “national security core”in Washington does not view the SDF as an investment to beabandoned.

Now, let us come to the most critical point, which isis extremely important:

America'sMiddle East policy avoids directly supporting a state;becausethis mobilizesopposing blocs.it. However, a structure without a statecannot survive for a longtime.

The SDF stands right in the middle of this“quasi-state” gray area.

This is exactly what America wants. Dependent on its own support mechanism, butindependent from regional statesan independent actor.

In Washington's eyes, the SDF is nowin the position of a "necessary partner." With the Muslim Brotherhood removed fromthe equation, for Americathere is no "political middle ground" left to seekin Syria.

All that remains is a deeper, more permanent, and more structural partnership with the SDFchoice. The areas where America's military bases in the region are located, logistical corridors, oil fields, and ISIS detention camps were allconsideredin this partnership is almost mandatory.

Until now, the SDF was a hesitant actor at the doors of Riyadh and Cairo. However, the Muslim Brotherhood line being purged by the US side has led to a K in Arab capitalscould result in greater acceptance of its political representation.

Now, let's get tothe crux of the matter.

Ankara's security doctrine places the YPG/SDF in the primary threat category. For Washington, however, the SDF is an "indispensable" partner.

And for the AKP, in a way If we take into account that it was the Muslim Brotherhoodin power,this dilemma became even sharper after Trump's decision.

Americasees Turkey's classification of the PKK and YPG in the samecategory as incompatible with Washington's owninterests.is weaving. This hassignificantly restricted Ankara's political and strategicmaneuvering space.

Washington's goal in the near term is notto establish a Kurdish state.Its primary objective is to limit Tehran's influence, prepare the ground for regime change in Iran, and keep Turkeypolitically handcuffed.that takes into account, Russia's ba barrier belt that reduces influence in the region and keeps Syria in a manageable chaosto create.

The most critical stone of this barrier beltis the SDF!

With the liquidation of the Muslim Brotherhood, the legacy of the Arab Spring is brought to an end, and the leverage of political Islampower isis broken, proxy actor portfolio becomes ideologicallynot geographically based, the Kurdish region becomes Washington'sown stability in line with interests production linesettles into the center of it.

In short, we are entering a newperiod of importance in the Middle East.

While watching the theater of betrayalthat they call a “process” in Turkey, thinking about this backdropisessential to understanding where the country is being dragged.to better understand the trapit will beuseful, and with that, let us conclude our article.
