    I wonder if the TDSers who told us America needed to get in the middle of this one because Trump wanted to stay out of it can see the flaw in their reasoning now.

    If the fucking Turks were not trying to annex part of Syria their troops would be safely inside Turkey's borders.

    Turkey and the USA need to GTFO of Syria. It's a sovereign country and their civil war is their business.

    I heard trump say he pulled most American forces out of Syria. He says he just left a small force there to protect the oil.

    Even as a guy who doesn't hate Trump I question that strategy, if true. It's not like America needs oil or Syria has that much of it anyway. I hear America is an energy, self-sufficient exporter of oil and natural gas now.

    I'm guessing he might be seeing it as some sort of power chip for negotiations or something. Either way the strategy sounds like bad thinking to even me.

    The US personnel didn't leave. They got sent to eastern Syria to protect the oil wells. And more US troops got sent to Kuwait and Saudi in the same time period that Dear Leader "pulled out" from Syria.

    Just another Trumpian chimera, abetted by those with the same attention span as a goldfish who either "forget" the previous things he's said, make excuses for him, or outright lie about what he's done. Ain't an unaccountable elected king a grand thing to have to bring back all that greatness? :roll:

    According to something called Kurdistan24, it's more like this:

    US pullout from areas such as Manbij, Ain al-Issa, and Kobani paved the way for the Russian army to take control of abandoned US bases and set up new ones in areas across northeast Syria near SDF-held territory.

    According to a Pentagon inspector general�s report published in early February, at least 300 Russian military police are deployed in northeastern Syria, �occupying the towns of Kobani, Raqqah, Tal Tamr, Amuda and Ayn Issa � areas previously occupied by U.S. forces.�

    There are also 600 to 700 US troops still present in Hasakah and Deir al-Zor provinces to protect oil infrastructure and support the SDF in operations against the Islamic State.

    As a result, several incidents have erupted in January and February between Russian and US forces in areas where both are present and exact lines of control have not been clearly delineated.

    The AP says this:

    While Trump ordered U.S. troops to withdraw from Syria last year, his military commanders and advisers later convinced him to keep a scaled-back force to protect Kurdish-controlled oil fields and facilities form falling into the hands of militants from the Islamic State group.

    According to officials, there are about 750 U.S. troops in eastern Syria, spread across a swath of land that stretches more than 90 miles (150 kilometers) from Deir el-Zour to the border region east of al-Hassakeh.

    They patrol a region crowded with other troops, including the Russians, Syrian government troops and even Iranian proxy forces not too far away.

    Thing is Erdogan doesn�t want more Syrian refugees in his country and Assad keeps on creating more. When millions flee your rule, you�re probably doing it wrong.

    The Turx are claiming a right to defend their own borders.

    Why???
    Are you open to the possibility that it is not in the interests of the U$$A/Turx for Syrians to regain all of their territory?!?

    Oh, I get it!
    As long as the audience is convinced that this is a civil war, then all is good!
