Why are US troops in Syria? When did we declare war on Assad? I don’t remember the debate and vote in Congress to declare war

We are not in Syria because of Assad. He is a red herring. This is a US proxy war against Russia and their Persian shia ally, funded by Saudi/ Gulf weapon sales and driven by sunni ideological goals. .. which somehow we seem to find compatible with a Western global strategy to encircle and contain Russia

Ever heard of ISIS? Putin Trolls must be pretty uninformed or Anti-American to spew such garbage, last I heard, Assad and the Russians were still fighting in the suburbs of Damascus. Maybe you just support ISIS.
