NULAND: U.S. Not Leaving Illegal American Base in Syria Despite Attacks
Turkey, a NATO ally, and Russia, called on Washington to withdraw its remaining military forces from Syria last year
Victoria Nuland, the neoconservative and #2 in the U.S. State Department, said in an interview that American troops will not be leaving Syria despite the frequency of new attacks and that they are illegally occupying the country.
“First let me set the record straight: The United States is not withdrawing from Syria,” Nuland told CNN Turk, according to a translation by Medya News. “As yesterday’s tragic events at a church in Istanbul demonstrated, ISIS is still active in too many places.”
The Trends Journal reached out to the State Department and was told by a spokesman, “We don’t have any force posture announcements to make at this time.”
The U.S. has been illegally occupying the eastern part of Syria under the auspices of fighting terrorism. Iran has said the claim by the U.S. that its forces are in the country to fight ISIS is nonsense and “only an excuse by the United States to maintain its occupation of Syria and keep looting the Arab country’s national resources, including energy and grains.”
U.S. troops have illegally invaded Syria since 2015 under the bullshit guise that they are there to fight against ISIS.
It is important to note that Iran is a Syrian ally and it is the U.S. forces that are the uninvited occupiers.
