The Pentagon has officially confirmed that United States forces had withdrawn from some of their bases in northern and eastern Syria.
The forces left Mission Support Site Green Village, H2 and Mission Support Site Euphrates last May, the latest quarterly report from the Defense Department’s Inspector General said.
All three sites lay in the vast region known as the middle Euphrates River valley. The Mission Support Site Green Village is located within the al-Omar oil field in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, while the Mission Support Site Euphrates is located in the Conoco gas plant in the eastern countryside of the governorate which is located in eastern Syria.
U.S. forces “either dismantled and removed or handed over infrastructure” to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the key partner of the U.S.-led coalition in Syria, according to the report, which was published on July 29.
The report said that U.S. forces at the three bases either relocated to other sites in Syria or Iraq or returned home after completing their tour of duty.
It also notes that the U.S. withdrew from an area where relations remain strained between the SDF and the Arab tribal leaders, who view the SDF as occupiers who selectively dole out resources and protections based on cultural preference. Without U.S. forces to bridge the differences, tensions between the groups are expected to rise, the report assessed.
Fox News reported in May that 500 U.S. troops had left bases in northern and eastern Syria. The withdrawal was carried out in line with Pentagon plans to eventually reduce the American military presence in the war-torn country to one base and fewer than 1,000 troops.
The Pentagon’s assessment is very realistic. Tensions are already mounting between the SDF and Arab tribes in northern and eastern Syria. Many of these tribes have already pledged their allegiance to the country’s new Islamist-led interim government.
An agreement reached in May to merge the SDF into the government is yet to move forward and clashes along the front with government forces are becoming more frequent.

americans need to go home and fix their shitty country
trump has no intention of that, at all. his goal is the same as always. he’s been a member of the wall kissing terrorists for decades. he just worked the money laundering and blackmail part of the mossad operation with epstein, sometimes providing a venue for their ‘work’. trump’s not a victim or client, he’s a full member of the team. that’s what he doesn’t want to come out…that he’s been a mossad mole all his adult life…meaning he is a full-blown traitor and always has been.
chumpo is the world’s no.1 shabbos goy. he has never done anything except favours for his joo organ grinder.
who ever wrote this is on some kind of hallucinogen. the u.s. is not withdrawing, they’re consolidating into safer zones. they know the shit is about to hit the fan, they know because ‘they’ are instigating it. the ‘they’ is u.s./israel. erdo knows his part as well. they want syria to be the new libya, period. anything goes in that pursuit. perpetual chaos is the goal, continuous spats keep it going. there will be no arab/kurd consolidation or peace.
“safer zones”? they were already deployed in the remotests corners of ne syria, near iraq. they’re pulling out and doing so in agreement with turkey, hts and isis.
hillbilly withdraw peniz from my anuz when filled w jizz
the turds are the whores of the middle east serving zio and amerikunt interests. they always whore themselves out to foreign interests and they always get dumped and left in the lurch afterwards. hopefully erdogan will wipe them out soon and cleanse the region of these traitors. they deserve everything they get.
the usa pulls out as their allies the isis and the hts attack the sdf.
conclusion: to be friends with the usa is utterly suicidal.
and yet that seems to have not deterred anyone.
if i were trump, i would put the kurdistan workers’ party in power in syria right now, because that goes beyond all limits of common sense.
if trump were human, he would put the kurdistan workers’ party in charge of syria.
we kicked assad’s & russia’s azzes with only a few 100 troops!
heheheh
midget poohtin was humiliated in syria…heheheh
