As the war winds down in Syria, and with only a few terrorist-held areas like Idlib to clear-up, once again the question is emerging as to whether or not punitive US-EU economic sanctions are still warranted. Sanctions currently in place include an oil embargo, restrictions on banking, supplies, and direct foreign investments, as well as a western policy of freezing (and stealing) the assets of the Syrians under sanctions and Syrian central bank assets held in the EU.

As conventional wars are becoming increasingly harder to sell to the public, U.S. special operations forces have become the new darling of the military industrial complex – praised by Congress, White House, and the mainstream media.

U.S. President Donald Trump once again ventured way out of his depth on geopolitics (which isn’t very deep) on Wednesday, taking false credit for diminishing the ISIS footprint in Syria over the last two years of his administration:

A suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device reportedly exploded near the convoy on a road in the outskirt of the town.

I am surprised that no one else is saying it, writing it, shouting it at each and every corner:

US forces still remain on the outskirts of the Syrian town of Manbij.
SouthFront reports…
Pentagon spokesman, Commander Sean Robertson, revealed on February 23 the 200 US troops who will remain in northeastern Syria after the supposed pullout will be a part of a multinational force which will establish a safe zone in the region.

Syrians have to suffer twice: once when the multinational terrorists travelled without facing any difficulties from the airports of Europe and elsewhere in the world to Turkey and then to Syria. Second, ISIS terrorists and their wives will most probably go back to their home countries without receiving serious punishment.
