 🚨Pentagon Confirms ‘Around 2,000’ US Troops Deployed In Syria

Washington quietly doubled the official number of troops present inside Syria at an unspecified point before the fall of Damascus

Pentagon Press Secretary General Pat Ryder revealed on 19 December that the US has “around 2,000” troops deployed inside Syria, more than double the figure Washington has previously claimed to have inside the war-torn country.

“As you know, we have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 US troops deployed to Syria. In light of the situation in Syria and teh significant interests, we recently learned that those numbers were higher,” Ryder told reporters on Thursday, adding that he “learned today there are approximately 2,000 US troops in Syria.”

Ryder goes on to reveal that the unannounced increase started before the fall of the Syrian government – without specifying a time frame – and that the deployment includes temporary forces for “shifting mission requirements.”

The US illegally deployed troops in Syria in November 2015 to allegedly “prevent the return of ISIS.” This came just two months after Russia accepted the request of Damascus to provide air support to the Syrian army, Iranian special forces, and Hezbollah in their fight against ISIS forces who threatened to overrun the Syrian capital.

In the chaos that ensued, Washington and allied Kurdish militias seized control of Syria’s resource-rich northeast, where the US army remains to this day and regularly loots Syrian resources.

The US Propaganda Machine Wishes to Play the ISIS Card to Justify Its Continued Illegal Occupation of Syria, as it plunders oilfields and starves the Syrian people..

The Business Insider article frames the US mission and priority in Syria to be in dealing with ISIS.

It is well documented that the US National Security Apparatus was intent on removing Assad before ISIS even existed.

A 2012 DOD intelligence report shows the intent to remove Assad before he was first accused of chemical weapons, which wouldn’t come until 2013 as I wrote in my 2019 article featured below.

The whole “We have to be in Syria to fight ISIS” (and that is why we are plundering the country’s exhaustible natural resources as the people live in poverty the US has largely contributed to, and still does through sanctions) is a bit convenient given that a 2012 intelligence report from the DOD reveals that the US *checks notes* predicted that funding the US funding the opposition to Assad, whom the report acknowledged was largely composed of *checks notes* Jihadi extremists including Al-Qaeda, would likely lead to an Islamic state, which “the supporting powers to the opposition”, identifed as the US, Turkey, and the Gulf nations, WANT….

And why did the US, Turkey, and Gulf nations want an Islamic to rise? To “isolate the Assad regime”… You can’t make this shit up.

And of course, the US funding these “moderate rebels” and flooding them with weapons would later lead to ISIS.
