“Here’s an easy way to protect U.S. forces in Syria from further ‘Iran-allied’ attacks,” writes Ron Paul: “Bring them home. Tomorrow. Do not wait another day!”
The Texan writes of the recent China-brokered warming of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. “China has achieved what the U.S. has resisted for years: peace in the region. Should we be surprised that the continued U.S. occupation is not welcome,” he asks.
“The United States occupies that huge chunk of Syria where the oil and agriculture is located ... and [is] preventing the natural wealth of Syria [from being] used to rebuild that country. Is it any wonder why the U.S. is so unpopular in the Middle East?”
“How hypocritical is it,” Paul asks, “that the Biden administration has spent $100 billion of our dollars to expel Russia from occupying proportionally less territory in Ukraine than Washington occupies in Syria?”
