From what base[es] does the US military attack targets in Syria?
We’ve had a small presence in eastern Syria since 2015. Not a lot of folks, enough to play whack-a-mole with ISIS and Al Qaeda.
It was stupid to get involved, an Obama Administrations specialty, but no one wants to make hard choices to get out, particularly so soon after tor Afghan debacle.
I think we still have about 2000 troops on the ground there. Don’t know about equipment. I guess they are supported from bases in Jordan and/or Iraq.
My first thought was about Russia and whether they still have 50,000 troops there. From that POV, Russia is a bit pre-occupied. Then again this type of move is not new for us.
