No ‘End Date’ for U.S. Troops in Syria

Less than two months after U.S. President Donald Trump demanded all U.S. troops withdraw from northeastern Syria for the second time, the general in charge of all U.S. forces in the Middle East now says he has no orders to leave the region.

“I don’t have an end date,” Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command, told a small group of reporters in Bahrain on Saturday.

Roughly 500 U.S. forces will remain in northeastern Syria with their Kurdish-led partners, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), to continue fighting the remnants of the Islamic State, McKenzie said during a visit to Bahrain for the Manama Dialogue security summit.

Американские войска не только остаются в Сирии на неопределённое время, но и собираются по-прежнему воевать с давно и неоднократно побеждённым ИГ силами курдских союзников - даже вопреки тому, что как недавно выяснилось, курды не помогли нам в Нормандии.

Так и живём. Хорошо хоть, что не в Сирии.
