US fools the world with false promises of Mideast withdrawal for 30 years

The U.S., which has established over 20 military bases and deployed 2,000 troops in Syria to protect its “land forces,” the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terror group, announced on Wednesday that it would be withdrawing from the region. However, Turkey is taking the decision with a pinch of salt.

The U.S., which entered the oil-rich region of the Middle East in the 1991 Gulf War, has been pitching its cock-and-bull story of withdrawing for 27 years. Trump’s announcement this week saying, "We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency," is not the first time the U.S. has spun lies and deception into its Middle Eastern policy.

This scenario has been on the agenda for over two decades.

On Jan. 17, 1991, the U.S attacked Iraq presenting its invasion of Kuwait as a reason. It made a military buildup and amassed over 500,000 troops in the region within a short amount of time pledging to secure the Persian Gulf.

All throughout the 90s, Washington conducted its division projects under the guise of “rebuilding” the region and “local authorities,” even though it constantly gave messages of withdrawal.

In 2003, Iraq was invaded once again. Saddam Hussein was ousted and the country fell into chaos. The U.S. had then entered Iraq under the justification of that weapons of mass destruction were being produced—but these were never found.

Obama, who took over after the Bush administration, also prided himself on his pledge to withdraw. He made the decision to withdraw troops in 2011, and some did, however it did not last very long.

In September 2014 Obama announced his decision to launch an aerial campaign against Daesh in Syria. The U.S. activated its division project in Syria as well, and established terror fronts all along Syria’s north, Raqqa in particular, in oil-rich areas which were controlled by the PKK terrorists it protects and provides arms to.

The U.S has supplied the PYD terror organization and its armed wing, the YPG, with more than 5,000 truckloads of weapons to allegedly use in the fight against Daesh, despite Ankara’s warnings that the fact they are the Syrian offshoots of the PKK terror organization.

Trump in his presidential campaign said that Obama had created Daesh, and vowed to withdraw all troops from Syria.

However, Trump, who was inaugurated as president in January 2017, did not keep his promise. Even though he did say that troops would withdraw, the U.S. increased its presence in the oil-rich country, having over 20 military bases. Hence, eyebrows are being raised as to whether this is just another fluke. Experts are saying that there may be new plans of destruction behind Trump’s latest announcement.
