U.S. Troops Not Leaving Syria, While Stealing Oil and Food

March14 (EIRNS)—It seems that U.S. troops may never leave Syria, given that the Biden regime has yet to even develop a policy as to what to do. Driving the inertia is the theory that the continued presence of those trops contributes to stability in eastern Syria. What would happen if we withdrew is a question that we would need to take a look at,” said Gen. Frank McKenzie, the top U.S. commander in the Middle East. “Because we’re there, there’s an element of stability.” U.S. officials warn that a withdrawal of American troops would likely cripple the SDF, forcing Kurdish fighters to retreat into an even smaller area of northeast Syria and reach an accommodation with Assad. Such national unity is opposed by the war party.
