Why? Syria didn't do shit to us. Why the fuck are we there? Last tiem I checked Syria isn't the United States.
I want to know further how it is lawful orders to follow to be there and why there isn't resistance from our leaders? But
just defers to "party leadership" about these things qnd is patheticly not using a bully pulpit. He makes speeches but he doesn't use the power.-
ah but US currently steals Syrian oil and grain while occupying a larger percentage of Syria than Russia is of Ukraine

Honestly, this decision is a little bit terrifying. What would the calculus be to do this? Possibly testing out new battlefield tech?
Preventing Russian strategic expansion in the theatre might be a reason, but given China, this feels like a bad use of resources especially given US track record. So either US absolutely needs the Syria position for it's coming conflict with China or US has Intel that it will somehow dominate in this theatre in a way that Russia is unaware of.
What other options am I missing?

Could be just a panic move, US has been making terrible decisions for a while now. This would be par for the course. They're seeing that Syria is back in the Arab league, and have backing from Russia and Iran. With Saudis now restoring relations with Syria, US occupation forces are in a really precarious position. This could be some sort of a bluff. Realistically though, 2.5k troops aren't going to make any difference for them there. It's just the throes of a dying empire.

It's very strange that I also just saw a Twitter conspiracy post warning about a new global alien tech disinfo campaign that's about to launch as a smoke screen for the emergence of new technologies that have been under wraps long enough that equivalents are starting to show up beyond state control. Feels like a nutty tinfoil hat thing, but I'm still very worried about the USA's continued sabre rattling with China despite all the evidence we have showing that US couldn't win. I feel like there's an August BRICS reveal that's going to send the North Atlantic into a deep economic recession, conjoined or followed closely by new fronts being opened by USA/NATO and those new fronts will make no sense without some serious strategic advantage that none of us have been able to identify yet.

Well, I guess that explains Wagner group's message about preparing for Africa https://lemmygrad.ml/post/987951

I was also confused about that until seeing this article... Yay direct war with Russia rather than proxy war... Wooo.....

Syria isn't in Africa

This seems like a major blunder. The US needs Turkiye on its side to expand NATO, besides the whole risk of "in for a penny, in for a pound." Obama lost a lot of face with his red line, but at least he avoided getting the US entrenched in another Middle East conflict, which they'll just make worse by their mere presence.
