 US Lays Groundwork For New Military Base In Northern Syria: Report

As clashes continue to rage between Washington and Ankara’s proxies in north Syria, the US is heavily reinforcing its presence near the Turkish border

The US army mobilized at least 50 trucks transporting concrete fortifications to the town of Kobani (Ain al-Arab) in the eastern countryside of Aleppo on 2 January in preparation for building a new military base… The convoy was spotted…

On Wednesday, local sources reported that another large US convoy delivered logistic reinforcements to Kobani…

Construction on Washington’s new military base will reportedly begin on Friday….

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.

Since then, Washington has retained a stranglehold on Syria’s largest oil and wheat fields in the northeast with the help of the SDF. The US also controls a massive 55-kilometer zone near the tri-border area with Iraq and Jordan.

Last month, the Pentagon confirmed that it has about 2,000 troops deployed inside Syria.

Washington’s increased military presence in Syria’s Kurdish-controlled north comes as SDF troops confront an intense offensive from the Syrian National Army (SNA) with air and artillery support from Turkiye.

On Thursday morning, the Turkish army and the SNA hit SDF positions in the eastern countryside of Ain Issa in Raqqah with heavy shelling and mortar fire. Close to 200 people have been killed since violent clashes broke out on 8 December between Washington and Ankara’s proxies.

The whole “We have to be in Syria to fight ISIS… is a bit convenient given that 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”… WANT…. to “isolate the Assad regime”…
