The US is reportedly growing its military presence in Syria this weekend, with the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights saying they have set up a third military base in northeastern Hasakeh Province.
The latest base is just 3 km from Qamishli, a Kurdish SDF city which also hosted a Syrian air force site in recent years. All three bases are in or near SDF territory.
The main US base in Hasakeh is at al-Omar, one of Syria’s oil fields. The site was established during the Trump Administration with designs on taking all of the oil. The US is aligned with the SDF, but keeps at a distance with Turkey intermittently invading Syria to attack the Kurds.
While US interest in Syria is overwhelmingly along the Iraq border in the far east, the US also has a base in al-Tanf, near the three-way border between Iraq, Syria, and Jordan.That base is used to support rebels on Jordan’s border.
These new bases speak to growing US interest in maintaining a presence in Syria, even though the Syrian Civil War is practically over. The
There is a most disturbing video clip outlining US strategy in Syria by Dana Stroul. Her enthusiasm and marvel over the death, starvation, and destruction the US continues to inflict on Syria is a great display of a psychopath. It makes you question if she has a soul behind her eyes. Like Interview With The Vampire, it’s a preview for a movie that has not been made: Interview With The Psychopath.

Making the world safe for the UK/US/Zionist empire is very important; even if it means more sacrifices need to be made by Americans! /s
Spot on!
This is about the US creating a Kurdish state, despite every other nation involved, on all sides.
The US wants to do that on the cheap, without US casualties, on a matter in which others have been willing to pay high prices to stop this.
This can’t end well for the US. It is just plain stupid.
I expect the plan is to keep metastasizing in Syria until part or all of the US forces there are wiped out and then spin that into war. They’ll hand the MSM the script and it’ll go downhill from there.
Nicely summed up.
The way to slow burn it is to start framing it as a question of what to do if US forces in Syria are decimated, and then when it happens some people will remember it was discussed as a possibility and some subset thereof will point out the warmongers let it happen, and in the meantime those of us who predicted it can be smug, which has never been all that rewarding but it’s better than just going along.
The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts.
I bet a lot of people think that’s Oscar Wilde. Just be glad you’re not out in the Syrian desert with your coordinates hanging out.
By Rebels you meant to say Al Qaeda… Corrected…No Charge…!
What is the point, this just prolongs the misery and the suffering and for what? Syria doesn’t really have oil to steal. Assad may have his problems but the US record on “what comes next” is poor.
