    AIPAC puppet and self proclaimed Zionist Joe Biden(1) didn't wait long to break his political promise to draw down US troops currently in the Middle East.

    At the same time, the Israelis wasted no time launching their first air strikes under this administration that killed a family of 4 civilians.

    For all of Trump's many faults, at least he tried to draw down a US military presence in that tumultuous region.

    Now what?

    200 troops to protect oil fields that buttress Kurdish controlled areas. Good. The Kurds were our allies. Hopefully Biden can rekindle the relationship. I support it.

    I have no idea what Zionism has to do with the article.

    We still have troops there. Trump didn’t pull them out.

    The conspiracy theory that claims Biden “invaded” Syria or sent a US convoy there on his “first day” is a misreading of events. The US supplies its forces in eastern Syria with trucks often sent from the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. This is a tenuous logistics pipeline for US personnel and Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve. Those who follow these movements call them routine. There is no evidence of an increased US footprint, a change in posture or tempo of operations.

    The OP's linked article doesn't support its claims. A rather bizarre way to start a thread.

    Movement across the border is routine. These 200 troops were moved (not added) to protect energy resources. The Israeli strike was against an Iranian/Iranian backed target.

    That's exactly what Trump was doing. I really don't understand the point of the OP.

    Certainly not your taxes!

    It's borrowed money, due the fact, the amount of taxes Uncle Sam will collect in FY2021 equates to our Mandatory expenditures, and interest payments.

    In other words, our grand children will end up paying for our Discretionary expenditures.

    Question: Where were your taxpayer dime concerns when Trump/Congress increased our deficit from $585 billion to an estimated $1.1 trillion?

    The OP article does, indeed, support its claims in that Biden is sending additional troops into Syria:

    "And while “other local media” noted that such resupply convoys are not uncommon, SANA’s report added that an additional 200 U.S. troops were choppered into the Hasakeh province as well." (1)

    Among Biden's many campaign promises was his intent to draw down US troops that are stationed throughout the Mid-East. By resupplying/building up US Bases in Syria he's breaking that promise.

    From whom are the unwanted US Troops in Syria "protecting energy resources"? The Syrian government to whom those resources belong contacted Biden the day he was sworn in to condemn US plundering, destruction and theft of Syria's resources:

    “The American occupation forces continue to plunder Syria’s wealth of oil, gas, and agricultural crops, burning and destroying what it cannot steal,” he said." (1)


    Re:
    What gives Israel the right to carry out terror strikes against whomever they chose & how do you know it was really against Iranian/ Iranian backed targets? All we know for certain is that there were civilian casualties.

    Please face facts. The only reason that the US has wasted $ Trillions and sacrificed thousands of young American lives year after year is to preserve Israel's regional hegemony and appease AIPAC:

    “QUIETLY LOBBYING CONGRESS TO APPROVE THE USE OF FORCE IN IRAQ WAS ONE OF AIPAC’S SUCCESSES OVER THE PAST YEAR.”

    AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr; N.Y. Sun, Jan. 2003

    It is not in America's best interest to essentially remain at war with and occupy much of the Islamic world just so a thankless* and treacherous "ally" can terrorize its neighbors with impunity.

    He wanted to, he really wanted to pull out our little tripwire from Syria but his supposed defense secretary(Mattis) couldn't follow the orders of his commander in chief. What can I say(and you yourself perfectly stated it: oil). Neocons are gonna neocon, are gonna neocon.

    For what Trump inherited(plutocratic Washington), I'd say he was easily the most peaceful President of our lifetimes, only forced to take action when he deemed it absolutely necessary(the gassing, or the attack on the Iraqi embassy)

    It is anti-Semitic to question the Israeli US relationship.

    Biden is a rare thing in our White House an actual practicing Catholic who attends church on a regular basis, not just for photo ops and hardly a Zionist.

    The following is a quote from Israel's former Education Minister that indicates the degree to which accusations of anti Semitism are so overwhelmingly fraudulent:

    “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti-Semitic.....

    And it’s very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as anti-Semitic, and to bring up the Holocaust, and the suffering of the Jewish people, and that is to justify everything we do to the Palestinians.”CONTINUED

    What "more solid info"? ............ self serving, pro Israel(1), (2) Western MSM?

    Since a Zionist's first loyalty is to a foreign government, any loyal American with friends and/or relatives in the Mid-East should care deeply if their Commander in Chief is loyal to Israel over the US.

    If you are familiar with the OP it makes sense. Have a look at his posts and it rapidly becomes clear.

    I don't recall any Biden promise to draw down US presence in the Middle East. That's what the orange man wanted to do, but as you can see, in the US political system, it's a lot easier to expand a war than to get out of it. He's doing what his donors want him to do.

    I agree that protecting those oil fields and trying to get our relationships with former allies to rise up from the dead is the right thing to do.
    The "T......." thing vertically destroed our alliances and it will take Uncle Joe a while to restore them. Uncle Joe wasted no time and he is doing what he can where he can to restore our alliances and respect for our country. Uncle Joe Biden is doing it with actions not by running of the mouth. Remember that the "T......" thing would say the running of the mouth schiest such as " we will have alliances as no one has ever seen before". "T....." thing was right no one has ever seen so many alliances being broken since"T....." thing sat on the Oval Throne.

    It is forever goal. The Kurds have been a nuisance to their neighbors since Roman times, and probably before.

    Why are we injecting ourselves in a 2000 year old war?
