We need to be close enough to strike Iran’s forces in Syria. Payback ongoing.
"Following the backlash from President Trump’s decision to withdraw US troops from NE Syria, senior administration officials Friday night, Dec. 21 offered Mid East leaders clarifications for allaying their concerns. DEBKAfile’s sources reveal those messages’ high points:"
Fist, we have more unnamed anonymous sources contradicting what the President just said in public. I'll take the President's own words over a unnamed source contradicting him outside of the U.S. when no one in the U.S. has said anything close to what the article alleges.
Second, this article is dated December 22, over a phone call the previous night, when Israel is seven hours ahead of Eastern time. I really doubt the people getting these confidential phone calls immediately called Debka so they could get a story out by noon Israeli time, instead of a more mainstream news outlet, not that any Isreali news agency would for the next reason.
Debkafile is a complete fraud. Debka is registered in Israel, which does not allow news agencies to release classified or privileged information. If Debka was getting details like this a few hours after the calls was made, they would be shut down by the Shin Bet.
Debka articles don't get posted here hat often because people catch on they were fake news before fake news was a thing.
Keeping air assets in the region would be effective.
Debka, come on man.
Throughout the Syria pullout brouhaha, my question has always been “what were the consultations with Israel and what does Israel have to say about this.” A president who honors and respects Israel as much as Donald Trump, and unlike the previous WH squatter, one suspects that Israel’s involvement was a factor.
We did the hard part now it’s their turn to maintain it or lose it.
