Will the troops in active duty be entitled to compensation for delay of their pay? Interest?

The US forces are there to protect the oil fields in Eastern Syria, and help the SDF (Kurds) fight ISIS by providing them with intelligence and air support.

[@sombrasfc]

Thanks for reporting

[@vtecharrys.6981]

@@sombrasfc I forgot to mention that US troops are also there because Russia was in Syria as well, and also - this is important, to keep Turkey in check and kind of protect the Kurds, who Turkey wants to wipe off the face of the earth. Besides wanting to expand the Turkish borders and have a large chunk of Syria (for many reasons - 1 of them being to create a maritime Exclusive Economic Zone/EEZ between Turkey and Syria for the gas/oil in the Eastern Med.), Erdogan does not want the Kurds to have their own autonomous state, at least not adjacent to their borders, and is in fear they will connect with the Kurds in Northwestern Iraq to become one big nation, even though the Kurds are a democratic people (with 40% of the government body being women) and live peacefully with laws, courts, police, etc. Conviniently Turkey has labeled all Kurds terrorists as an excuse, because they hate them, and most importantly fear that the 15-20 million Kurds living in Turkey today, might revolt and decide to annex part of Turkey to join the new Kurdistan. So the US troops are also there to make sure Erdogan does not commit another genocide which Turkey is known to have inflicted on several ethnic groups in the past. Unfortunately Erdogan and some of Turkey's elite still live in the past, but predominantly because they see it as making money $$, rebuilding Syria (getting construction projects worth Billions $$), etc. as the elite own most of the companies that would benefit from war and expansionism.

So, you've been lying to us all along about how many troops are in Syria, and, of course, Ukraine.

[@JaceCameron76]

Trump said the other night in his speech that he did not want to go into Syria because he felt like turkey already had it and they had to have a strong army

[@Hollymountainhwy16]

Can't tell all of them to the public

[@djbigturbo6878]

I hope so

[@vtecharrys.6981]

I hope so. Other than the real # of troops in Syria, he did not give out any information or answer any of the questions. He gave BS answers to every question, like "I 'll get back to you on that", or "go ask the State Dept." or "I can't discuss that". These briefings have become a joke for a few years now. It's not his fault though. He is only a 2 star general and kind of a peon in the hierarchy. He reports to a Lt.General (3-star) who reports to a 4-star general or Chief of Staff, who reports to the Secretary of Defense, who reports to the President (his chief of staff really..). He is told what to say, and not to give out any information other than what was written on that piece of paper he was reading from. With all the wars and sh*t going around the world, the only thing he came out to say is that we have 2,000 troops in Syria instead of 900, and who is going to wish the troops happy holidays and when. What a joke! This government and their "briefings" insult our intelligence repeatedly. They treat us like school children with the BS answers they give us. The most obvious one when he answered "I don't know if the extra troops are special forces and I can't really comment on that", BUT he said they are there for a 30 to 90-day deployment. ONLY Special forces get deployed for that short a period to conduct special operations. Regular troops get deployed mostly for 1 year. So he screwed up and gave us the answer anyway, at least to those of us who know a few things.. The additional 1k troops are most likely Rangers and Green Berets and their logistical support staff (and command center & communications) to feed them, house them, and maintain their vehicles and heavy weapons.

[@WarThnderMudnen76]

I love how he took a subtle shot at the stupidity of Americans with this drone nonsense. Two of the videos for sure that I've seen of the scary drones are 737 airliners. On one of them you can clearly see the Southwest airlines livery on the tail. Terrifying to be sure.

[@D-Day-fb3pw]

Wow! 2 whole videos?!!! Well that clears it all up then. I guess all the hundreds of other videos are what? All commercial aircraft? GTFOH 😆👍

The United States interests and you’d need 100 times that many just to support the logistics operation for an invasion force… 2000 is not even a single brigade, it’s not an invasion force, not even remotely close…

[@damoncus8124]

He’s not a sir. He’s just a current liar at the podium. First they claimed 900 troops in Syria now he says oops we were wrong it’s 2000. And then goes into nonsense about discrepancies. Human beings and soldiers are not discrepancies. Plus the reality we have close to 10,000 troops in Syria …. None of which should be there at the moment. That is some more Middle East nonsense we do not need to be involved in or have our boys over there in that soup sandwich So a Sir - he is.

Genocide: The US defies the decision of The International Court of Justice's findings and decision that it has prima facie evidence justifying it to believe that it is plausible that Israel is commiting genocide. The US is a member of The UN, subject to the UN International Law and Institutions, The International Court of Justice is the highest Court of International Public Law, are there any legal recourse or remedy against The US for failing to respect the ICJ, or for denying the legal validity of the ICJ. Can The US be found guilty of contempt of Court?
