The deep state needs terrorism as an enemy in order to maintain their ever-increasing deep state intelligence and military organizations. The notion that ISIS (for example) needs to be destroyed is ludicrous at best. For now ISIS keeps funding high and supports some of our “allies”. If not ISIS, they would “discover” a new organization.
ISIS in Syria has been a tool of Saudi Arabia from the beginning. Saudi Arabia has behind the insurgency in Syria and we went along (just like we support Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen). Russia’s support to its ally Syria put a wrench in our plans, but that hasn’t stopped us from continuing our meddling in Syria.
Oddly enough, Israel and Saudi Arabia have become “allies” of sorts in their attempted destruction of Syria. Saudi Arabia has recently indicated that they see the Syria operation as a failure and that they lost. Israel continues to strike in Syria.
By all accounts, the democratically elected government has put down the foreign insurgency and has secured virtually all of their country again. Saudi Arabia was recognized the failure of the insurgency. Most of the world recognizes that Syria with the help of the Russians have put down the insurgency. The US continues to send money, send arms, sacrifice Americans, and fight in Syria. Something is wrong in the US.…
Ostensibly a strong, non-warring Middle East would be in our best interests. Picking “winners” and “losers” is at best a short term gain. We went through eight years of Neo disasters in the region. Perhaps this is a sign of goodness for the US and the region.

American policy in Syria has always been bizarre. Israel and Saudi Arabia (two of our claimed allies) wanted Assad gone. We trained and armed (at great expense to we the taxpayers) opposition groups that gravitated to ISIS. We sent ground military forces there to train opposition groups. The CIA did the same. CIA forces engaged in direct combat with US Army forces. It’s a mess. A mess caused by us acting as a “for hire” military for our allies.

The US has a long history of “using” the Kurds and then pulling the plug on them. The West did it to them after WWI. Kissinger did it in 1975 once we didn’t need them. After the first Gulf War we did it to them again. The challenge is that the Kurds live in four different countries, none of which are excited about a large independent Kurdish state.…
Military bridge making is a lost skill, so it’s interesting to see how a mere “bridge” has such an impact. During the Cold War, the US Army had a lot of awesome bridge making and maintaining units and equipment. …
Whether you believe we should be in Syria or not, whether you believe that we should be engaging in the verbal back and forths with Russia, we are actually fighting a physical war with Russia. And the western media is ignoring it.…
The US involvement in Syria clearly is not America’s best moment. We got involved at the behest of our “allies” Saudi Arabia and Israel. Like so many “wars” we fight in, we let the CIA and the US military organize things. We send lots of military hardware to those we support, to include ISIS. CIA groups fought against our military groups. And it all failed.

Something rather unprecedented just happened in Syria: US backed “good terrorist” forces attempted a surprise attack against Syrian government forces stationed to the north and northeast of the city of Hama. …
This is a good TV report of the liberation of Deir ez Zor in Syria. The English subtitles explain all. Another great example of how to provide military aid to a country. Actually support the countries’ military. Provide real aid to the locals once the local army wins. These folks will remember the Russians for decades for helping, not killing.

We elected a president to stop our never ending wars. President Trump has ordered the CIA to stop their wars in Syria. Yet we still continue. Is America an out of control military state?…
