I did not know Syria let us have a base, there.
That strikes me as very strange, even stupid.
They’ve asked us to leave. Trump told the Pentagon to close them, they refused. Most of our 900 or so personnel there are managing our ISIS partners in our ongoing efforts to destabilize the Syrian government. This has been one of our more successful efforts in getting locals killed. At last count we are the prime reason 600,000 have died. Gotta love that CIA.
