This article talks about the US as monolithic, but my limited understanding is that although SDF's key ally was the US Army, CIA had clandestinely been backing a different Syrian faction, so "the US" has never wholeheartedly been onside throughout. (and, presumably, now it's State's turn to be backing Erdogan? Pawns will be sacrificed.)
