I do have to ask “Is it possible that the presence of US troops in a warring region actually contributes to the continuation of conflict?”
We end up being the “crusaders” that unite all the warring factions against us in many cases, I think.
It's FAR worse than that. While we didn't quite start Syria's civil war, we joined the war and dumped billions of dollars, weapons and training into it in an attempt to overthrow Assad. We significantly contributed to the humanitarian disaster, hundreds of thousands of deaths, 11 million displaced refugees, the refugee crisis in Europe and Turkey, and hundreds of millions of people effected.
Look up Operation Timber Sycamore to see how David Petraeus and Barack Obama got us into a war for Saudi Arabia and Qatar to overthrow Assad and build Europe a new gas pipeline through Syria...
In Syria it would have.
That is probably one of the things that set off Trump...
Any, Kurdish independence could only be kept up by a permanent American military presence, essentially prolonging the civil war to infinity.
And, from my analysis. The entire civil war in the first place would not even have taken place without American organization and support...
People like Obama and Clinton have a LOT to answer for...
I pray that they will.
The world needs and is crying out for some justice.
At the same time, you have the usual suspects here doing their agitprop in the keyword lines. Tell you most things you need to know about those sort of people.
