18 Killed: The High Cost of a Failed Syria Policy and What's Next | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a report on a U.S. military-acknowledged "friendly fire" airstrike in northern Syria (near Tabqa) that mistakenly killed 18 allied fighters from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Graham discusses how the coalition blamed incorrect coordinates, details previous unacknowledged friendly fire incidents tracked by monitors like Air Wars in Iraq and Syria, and critiques the human and geopolitical cost of endless interventionism. He connects these military blunders to the broader propaganda machine, the silence of mainstream media, and the importance of supporting independent anti-war journalism.
