US Forces Under Fire in Syria: Illegal Occupation Enters Dangerous Phase
- US engineered political unrest in Syria (and the rest of the Arab World) in 2011 after preparing opposition groups and militants years in advance;
- US intervened in Syria in 2014 to ensure armed proxies completed US-backed regime change;
- Russia’s invitation by Syria in 2015 began irreversible defeat of US proxies;
- Today, US troops are increasingly isolated in eastern Syria as US weapons disappear in Ukraine or are stockpiled for coming war with China, and as Washington’s regional allies work with Russia/China to resolve long-standing conflicts;
- The US cannot maintain proxy wars in Ukraine, Syria, and over the island province of Taiwan. It must choose and may not be able to sustain any at all;
