We do need to see if we can find any verification ...but I do remember than when we moved some troops out of Iraq some special units went into Jordan,...on the Syrian border.
Been some time ago.
And French fighter jets stationed in Saudi Arabia...maybe that could be verified...
——Russia wont let this stand.-———
Yes they will.
They will mouth platitudes and perhaps threats but will actually do nothing.

The RSAF have a mix of European built, as well as US built military aircraft. F15 Eagles, Tornado, other. Not much shows up in searches on just what they have that is actually maintained.
First we pay to help anti-American fundamentalists destabilize a secular government, THEN we pay to defend a less and less secular Muslim country against them.
And we’re bankrupt.
Besides Africa or the Balkans, I cannot imagine a scenario more richly deserving complete American inaction. What we need in the Syrian crisis is POPCORN —no good guys there, no glory, NOTHING.
