**This is the same perception managing game the US is playing with the weapons being sent to Ukraine.** **Oh, yes we transferred them to Syria, but, they have not been “TRANSFERRED” to SDF/PKK**

**Do they have to be “transferred”to the SDF/PKK when this terror group is sharing the same bases as the US Forces- This is word play.**

**It’s like saying- I picked up some wine, it’s in our house, but I’ve not transferred to my husband. Therefore he won’t have any! roflmao!**  **It’s truly that retarded** **of a statement.**

> **The US acknowledged sending the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (Himars) to [Syria](https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/syria)** but denied reports in Turkish media that the launchers have been transferred to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern Syria.
> 
> **“Yes, there are HIMARS in the country \[Syria\] for****` force protection,`**” **(which obviously includes SDF/PKK)** a US Central Command spokesperson told Middle East Eye on Wednesday, but “CENTCOM is not providing the HIMARS or training to the SDF.”
> 
> Turkish news outlets, including the English language [Daily Sabah](https://www.dailysabah.com/politics/diplomacy/us-sends-himars-to-ypgpkk-terrorists-in-northern-syria), cited unnamed sources saying **the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (Himars) had been transferred to**`<strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color" style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"> the YPG</mark></strong> - <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">the backbone of the US-supported</span> Syrian Democratic <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forces</span> (SDF</strong>`**) – at US bases in northern Syria’s Deir el-Zour province.**
> 
> US support for the SDF, which Turkey views as an extension of the [Kurdistan Workers’ Party,](https://www.middleeasteye.net/tags/kurdistan-workers-party) has long been a source of acrimony in the Nato allies’ relationship. The US, European Union, and Turkey consider the group, known as the PKK, a terrorist organisation. But Washington refuses to cut ties with the SDF, which it sees as the most effective fighting force against the Islamic State militant (IS) group.
> 
> The spokesperson told MEE that **Centcom does not disclose the location of Himars, citing security risks.** About 900 US troops are based throughout Syria, including in the north, mainly in the provinces of Raqqa, Hasakah, and Deir el-Zour.

**Same deadly game as in Ukraine,**
