Race For Raqqa: Major US Escalation In Syria

The media reported yesterday that for the first time US regular military forces were deployed in Syria, with Marines preparing an assault on Raqqa and Army Rangers trying to keep two US-backed groups from killing each other in Manbij. An additional 1,000 US troops may be heading to Kuwait as back-up.

Everyone on the forum needs to watch this.

Great in-depth info on specific policy, movements and regional politics. I loved these two quotable quotes:

Ron Paul - "The enemies used to be aligned, you know. You didn't have difficulty figuring out which government and which army was on the side of the allies in World War II... If you went into Syria today and tried to figure it out, and if they had to do hand-to-hand combat, nobody would know who to kill. But if you're up in the sky you don't care. You just drop bombs on people, and destroy something and teach 'em all a lesson and get out, you know. This is the way they go."

McAdams - "It's unfortunate to see people who criticized Obama's policy now cheering trump's policy which is essentially Obama's policy on steroids."

What? Trumpettes kept saying teh Donald was "Ron Paul on steroids." I'd agree with McAdams over the Trumpettes. Trump is more like Obama on steroids.

I can forgive these two for not quite understanding the New Paradigm of American Greatness^©

Somehow I still think Trump is playing the neocon game of regime change in Syria in order to build gas pipeline to Europe. The "moderate" opposition is gone, ISIS is on the run and now America sees it fit to race to Raqqa? Yea, don't believe he is doing this to fight terrorism. He is trying to take territory and hopefully try to build the pipeline responsible for this whole fake civil war after they take it.

Sadly, no matter who you vote for, we can never get rid of the neocons in Washington.

Hold on everyone. Nothing to see here. Fox News informed everyone today that US troops (Special Forces) have been in Syria since 2015, so this is nothing new. It must be legit if it's been going on since then. Move along.

B...b...b..but I thought MSM was against Trump & is trying to making him look bad. Surely Fox wouldn't lie about this!

When it comes to the MIC-media complex, all politicians are good if they are pushing the war agenda. It's almost like calling the dogs off. "Hey everyone, Obama and now Trump are both doing it, so it must be a good thing. Look over there! Russia!"

Assad calls out Washington's illegal immigrants "Any foreign troops coming to Syria without our invitation or consultation or permission, they are invaders,"

How would the US feel about foreign troops entering the US without permission to conduct operations?

If we fought back we'd be called terrorists.
