Biden schizophrenic on Middle East troop withdrawals

Back in August, President Biden pulled the rug out from under the U.S. war party by pulling our remaining 2,500 troops from Afghanistan. The pro war national security establishment was furious but powerless to stop the most sensible anti war, pro peace action in the 20 War on Terror.

Possibly as a sop to the national security state, Biden, who promised the day of boots on the ground in senseless wars was over, pivoted. He said U.S. troops, defiling Syria’s sovereignty since 2015, would be staying indefinitely. Why? Biden claims to help the Syrian Defense Forces (SDF) combat ISIS in Syria.

Bunk. Besides the aforementioned placating of the U.S. war party, they remain in Syria to keep Syria’s oil resources from being used by their rightful owner Syrian government. Combined with crippling and inhuman U.S. sanctions getting Syrian civilians killed for nothing, they represent continued criminal war against Syria.

What Biden didn’t mention was that he’s essentially painted a target on the backs of the 900 remaining troops keeping those oil wells silent. Just last week a drone attack by anti U.S. militias narrowly missed one or more of Biden’s artwork. Inevitably, Biden will be called out to Andrews Air Force Base to salute the casket of a soldier silenced by Biden’s ‘boots on the ground’ schizophrenia.
