US troops conduct patrols in Syria’s Derbasiyah
2023-07-10
[NPASyria] US troops conducted on Sunday a patrol consisting seven armored military vehicles along with special units of Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) in the village of Seranah east of the city of Derbasiyah, north of Hasakah.

A local source from the village told North Press that this was the second time within 24 hours that US forces had conducted a joint patrol with the Asayish units in Seranah.

On Saturday, the US troops conducted a patrol consisting of three armored military vehicles with the Asayish special units in the same village.

The first patrol consisted of three armored vehicles, and today the number of armored vehicles increased to seven, in addition to four vehicles belonging to the Asayish units, the source added. They also cut off the road to and from the village.

At the time of writing this report, the US troops remain present in the mentioned village, and the reason for their deployment or presence in the village is currently unknown.

Four years ago, the US troops withdrew from that area just before the Ottoman Turkish operation against the cities of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain), in the countryside of Hasakah, and Tel Abyad, in the northern countryside of Raqqa, in October 2019.

#3  #1 To find the genesis of the US involvement with Kurds and Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish), you have to go all the way back to the time that David Petraeus was the Kurdistan warlord.

#2  The Left has always considered troops either to be cannon fodder(draft) or mercenaries(volunteer). It starts to make sense. The only time the Left was pretty silent on that was after (the real) Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.

#1  Why the hell are we even supplying troops for this place and Somolia? We seem to have people who grew up during the last of WW11, Korea, Vietnam and Africa making past war decisions. No wonder our military is having recruiting problems. If anyone can explain this, please do!!!
