The greatest opportunity for the Kurds in Syria right now lies in the post-Assad transition under the new government led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa. This moment offers a pathway to full integration into a unified Syrian state with citizenship rights, cultural protections, and political participation— long denied under Bashar al-Assad’s regime, where many Kurds faced statelessness, language restrictions, and systemic discrimination. Historically, the US military presence in northeastern Syria was justified primarily as a counter-ISIS partnership. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), led by Kurds, proved the most effective ground partner in defeating ISIS’s territorial caliphate by 2019, detaining thousands of ISIS fighters and family members in prisons and camps like al-Hol and al-Shaddadi. At that time, there was no functioning central Syrian state to partner with—the Assad regime was weakened, contested, and not a viable partner against ISIS due to its alliances with Iran and Russia. Today, the situation has fundamentally changed. Syria now has an acknowledged central government that has joined the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS (as its 90th member in late 2025), signaling a westward pivot and cooperation with the US on counterterrorism. This shifts the rationale for the US-SDF partnership: the original purpose of the SDF as the primary anti-ISIS force on the ground has largely expired, as Damascus is now both willing and positioned to take over security responsibilities, including control of ISIS detention facilities and camps. Recent developments show the US actively facilitating this transition, rather than prolonging a separate SDF role: • We have engaged extensively with the Syrian Government and SDF leadership to secure an integration agreement, signed on January 18, and to set a clear pathway for timely and peaceful implementation. • The deal integrates SDF fighters into the national military (as individuals, which remains among the most contentious issues), hand over key infrastructure (oil fields, dams, border crossings), and cede control of ISIS prisons and camps to Damascus. • The US has no interest in long-term military presence; it prioritizes defeating ISIS remnants, supporting reconciliation, and advancing national unity without endorsing separatism or federalism. This creates a unique window for the Kurds: integration into the new Syrian state offers full citizenship rights (including for those previously stateless), recognition as an integral part of Syria, constitutional protections for Kurdish language and culture (e.g., teaching in Kurdish, celebrating Nawruz as a national holiday), and participation in governance—far beyond the semi-autonomy the SDF held amid civil war chaos. While risks remain (e.g., fragile ceasefires, occasional clashes, concerns over hardliners, or the desire of some actors to relitigate past grievances), the United States is pushing for safeguards on Kurdish rights and counter-ISIS cooperation. The alternative—prolonged separation—could invite instability or ISIS resurgence. This integration, backed by US diplomacy, represents the strongest chance yet for Kurds to secure enduring rights and security within a recognized Syrian nation-state. In Syria, the United States is focused on: 1) ensuring the security of prison facilities holding ISIS prisoners, currently guarded by the SDF; and 2) facilitating talks between the SDF and the Syrian Government to allow for the peaceful integration of the SDF and the political inclusion of Syria’s Kurdish population into a historic full Syrian citizenship.

The situation on @NEARProtocol: - There was a governance proposal to reduce the inflation rate by 50% - The proposal didn’t get enough votes from validators and failed because it didn’t reach the threshold - The NEAR team still decided to implement this change in the next upgrade - Now, if validators upgrade, they’re forced to accept this change in inflation even though the proposal initially failed due to a lack of votes!! Governance is broken, @ChorusOne decided not to upgrade to prevent bad behaviors like this from happening.

🗞️ time for some Noncense: crypto news with a punchline. using @AlphaPackedHQ as the source today. 1. @tempo raises $500 in Series A funding... checks notes... nvm, it's Serie A funding for buying @acmilan and bringing some tempo to their play. 2. @Ripple raising another $1B in hopes of bringing its value to just under $1B. 3. @megaeth is buying back early investor equity to sell it higher at the TGE. Because nothing screams "confidence" quite like early investors cashing out before the TGE. 4. @opensea to finally launch the $SEA airdrop in Q1 2026. But honestly, I'd rather have back even 1/10th of the ETH I spent on now worthless NFTs there. 5. North Koreans hide malware on-chain via EtherHiding. So any devs working on @ethereum now have to know zk, sdk, and DPRK. that's been your daily Noncense created a by a lone human hoping he's funny. See ya tomorrow 👋
