BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:00 P.M.) – The U.S. military has returned to six bases they previously abandoned in northern Syria, Turkey’s Anatolia News Agency reported on Wednesday.
The agency announced that the U.S. military is strengthening its presence in northeastern Syria, near the borders with Turkey and Iraq, and in areas of oil fields.
They reported that the U.S. military is spreading to five bases and posts in the Hasakah Governorate of northeastern Syria. In addition, the Americans are constructing two other barriers in the town of Al-Qahtaniyah and in a residential area in Qamishli.
The agency said that the United States plans to enhance security its security at the Hasakah oil fields and to strengthen its presence near the Syrian-Turkish border.
Furthermore, the U.S. military is currently deployed to 11 bases and posts in Syria. Five are in Hasakah, four are in Deir Ezzor and two are in Raqqa. In the Deir Ezzor Governorate, the U.S. military is building two more checkpoints.
Trump needs to clean house at the Pentagon and then get us out completely.
War is the health of the deepstate.
wtf
Don't you just love it when a plan comes together.
Isn't it "The Art of War" that teaches one that you should act weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak.
Under Trump, the USA is strong always. When Trump appears weak, it's a trap.
Right? I thought we were out of there.
A lot of evangelical Christians are more loyal to secular Israel than they are the US. The way they interpret the Bible makes no sense to me. The modern state of Israel has nothing to do with the Israel mentioned in the bible. Evangelicals have been manipulated into fighting wars for a secular country that rejects Jesus, has one of the world’s most liberal abortion laws, and is as far from God as any modern country. Our actions have decimated the Christian communities in the middle east. Most of the evangelical leaders who support Trump do it based on their obsession with Israel. They made that clear when Trump tried getting us out of Syria. I’m sick of the Israel first people on the right. Some of these people want to make end time prophecy a reality with irresponsible and stupid actions. I have no doubt many would rejoice if a nuclear bomb destroyed Damascus. Some would probably launch it if they could.
