President Trump backtracked on his pledge to remove US troops from Syria. During an interview with Face the Nation and said, “We’re going to be there and we’re going to be staying. We have to protect Israel.” Trump changed his vow of complete withdrawal when Israeli President Netanyahu and Washington, DC neocons argued that US troops in Syria border are the last line of defense against Iranian expansion and, therefore, they must stay indefinitely. -GEG
After approaching two months of talk of a “full” and “immediate” US
troop withdrawal from Syria, first ordered by President Trump on
December 19 — which was predictably met with swift and fierce pushback
from beltway hawks including in some cases his own advisers — it now
appears the death knell has sounded on the prior “complete” and “rapid”
draw down order.
Trump said in a CBS “Face the Nation” interview this
weekend that some unspecified number of US troops will remain in the
region, mostly in Iraq, with possibly some still in Syria, in order “to
protect Israel” in what appears a significant backtrack from his prior
insistence on an absolute withdrawal.
“We’re going to be there and we’re going to be staying. We have to protect Israel,” he replied when
pressed by CBS reporter Margaret Brennan. “We have to protect other
things that we have. But we’re – yeah, they’ll be coming back in a
matter of time.” He did note that “ultimately some will be coming home.”
“Look, we’re protecting the world,” he added. “We’re spending more
money than anybody’s ever spent in history, by a lot.” Trump’s slow
drift and change in tune on the subject of a promised “rapid” exit comes
after Israeli officials led by Prime Minister Netanyahu alongside
neocon allies in Washington argued that some 200 US troops in Syria’s
southeast desert along the Iraqi border and its 55-kilometer
“deconfliction zone” at al-Tanf are the last line of defense against
Iranian expansion in Syria, and therefore must stay indefinitely.
“I want to be able to watch Iran,” Trump said further during
the CBS interview. “Iran is a real problem.” He explained that “99%” of
ISIS’s territory had been liberated but that a contingency of US troops
must remain to prevent a resurgent Islamic State as well as to counter
Iranian influence, for which American forces must remain in Iraq as
well.
“When I took over, Syria was infested with ISIS. It was
all over the place. And now you have very little ISIS, and you have the
caliphate almost knocked out,” the president said. “We will be
announcing in the not too distant future 100% of the caliphate, which is
the area – the land – the area – 100. We’re at 99% right now. We’ll be
at 100.”
However Trump’s invoking Iranian influence as a
rationale for staying further contradicts his prior December statement
that the defeat of ISIS was “the only reason” he was in Syria in the
first place.
MARGARET BRENNAN: How many troops are still in Syria? When are they coming home?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: 2,000 troops.
MARGARET BRENNAN: When are they coming home?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: They’re starting to, as we gain the remainder,
the final remainder of the caliphate of the area, they’ll be going to
our base in Iraq, and ultimately some will be coming home. But we’re
going to be there and we’re going to be staying–
MARGARET BRENNAN: So that’s a matter of months?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We have to protect Israel. We have to protect
other things that we have. But we’re- yeah, they’ll be coming back in a
matter of time. Look, we’re protecting the world. We’re spending more
money than anybody’s ever spent in history, by a lot. We spent, over the
last five years, close to 50 billion dollars a year in Afghanistan.
That’s more than most countries spend for everything including
education, medical, and everything else, other than a few countries. — CBS “Face the Nation” Feb.3 interview transcript
The Pentagon in recent weeks has reportedly been putting logistics in
place for a troop draw down from northern and eastern Syria.
Though it remains unclear just how many troops could remain as the
majority possibly begin to pullout toward US bases in Iraq, the Tanf
base could remain Washington’s last remote outpost disrupting what US
defense officials see as a strategic Baghdad-Damascus corridor and
highway, and potential key “link” in the Tehran-to-Beirut so-called Shia
land bridge.
Jimmy Dore gave a riveting analysis about US wars and explained that the media gets Americans to cheer on provocations by lying to the public who have no idea what is happening with their foreign policy. And Americans have no idea that they have no idea.

Pronatalists are “pro-birth” activists and governments spooked by declining birth rates that fear the world is on the verge of demographic collapse. Pronatalism overlaps with transhumanism.

A boy who was featured in the viral video that showed children being showered with water because of a chemical attack expressed confusion over why he was grabbed and had water poured over him. An Arabic-speaking British investigative journalist interviewed locals in Douma who reported that there was no chemical attack. Rand Paul questioned the attack and told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that if Assad did it, he has to be the stupidest dictator on the planet because Assad is winning the war.
Former British Ambassador to Syria, Peter Ford, says the recent gas attack could have been the work of Assad’s enemies to create a pretext to attack Syria. He cited the lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that did not exist but, nevertheless, were the excuse for launching a war there.

It is a shame. Evil is afoot. The “Israel first” collaborators have somehow convinced Trump we need to become part of a wider middle east war as Rand Paul called it that includes 100 thousand Muslims troops from Turkey, and Muslim troops from Syria, Muslim troops from Iran, and Muslim troops from Iraq who in the end are against Jewish troops in Israel. Why would we want to put 2000 US troops in front of that? No wonder Israel wants to keep the fighting among themselves, drawing us into it as their puppet shield. I blame the democrats for not… Read more »

“We have to protect Israel.” No we do not! We have to protect the united States of America. “We have to protect other things that we have.” You mean like Genie Oil and the drug runners?
“…disrupting what US defense officials see as a strategic Baghdad-Damascus corridor and highway, and potential key “link” in the Tehran-to-Beirut so-called Shia land bridge.” So we are participating in war between Mohammedan sects, the war between the Sunnis and the Shia. Doing so on behalf of Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Bring all of our troops home and stop these endless wars of aggression.
