A convoy of 40 trucks and armor vehicles said to have entered Syria from Iraq
A large US military convoy entered northeastern Syria on Thursday, Syrian state news agency SANA reports, citing sources on the ground.
According to the report, the convoy included some 40 trucks and armored vehicles and was backed from the air by helicopters.
It entered Syria from Iraq via the al-Waleed crossing to bring arms and logistical equipment to the bases in Hasakeh and Deir Ezzor provinces.
Other local media report that such maneuvers are not unusual as the US often moves transfers equipment between Iraq and Syria.
Play Video At the same time, SANA also reports that some 200 US troops arrived in the Hasakeh province on helicopters.
According to the report, the troops are set to deploy on the nearby oilfields, with Kurdish-controlled eastern Syria rich in energy resources.
The US-led coalition has been working closely with the Kurds during the campaign against the Islamic State terrorist group in Syria, with Kurdish forces often working as ground coordinators for coalition jets during airstrikes.
In late 2020, then-US President Donald Trump ordered US troops withdrawn from the area to redeploy to Iraq.

Onward, you war pigs!
“The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.”
― George Orwell, 1984
I’ve been watching and have also been sleeping well with Trump. Now I can’t bear to keep watch; it’s going to get ugly fast.
That didn’t take long for Obama’s War to resume.
Wilsonian Sedition Act soon to follow.
That didn’t take long. How many people died and were displaced becase we so prolonged the Syrian war in our effort to get Assad?
> War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.

Yep, Ike’s quote is the gold standard. Ike could have given the typical (and uncontroversial) farewell address. That he chose to mention the military-industrial complex is very, very significant.

Great! Another forever war.
