Press TV – July 10, 2020
A US military convoy has been forced to retreat from an area in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah when it was blocked at a checkpoint of the Syrian Arab Army.
“The checkpoint personnel intercepted three armored vehicles of the American occupation in the village of Mansaf Tahtani in the countryside of Tell Tamr (in Hasakah) and forced them to return to their illegal bases,” Syria’s official news agency SANA reported on Friday.
The convoy was reportedly attempting to bypass the checkpoint.
No clashes were reported in the event.
Hasakah has hosted several scenes of US military convoys being forced to change route or retreat.
People in Hasakah blocked roads in a show of seething resentment over the presence of American troops in their region.
Late last month, another military convoy was forced to make a u-turn after a group of people blocked its road, preventing it from driving through their community.
Residents of Khirbet Bunyan village, which lies in the Malikiyah district of the province, did not allow it to move and pelted it with stones.
Since late October 2019, the United States has been redeploying troops to the oil fields controlled by Kurdish forces in eastern Syria, in a reversal of President Donald Trump’s earlier order to withdraw all troops from the Arab country.
The Pentagon claims the move aims to “protect” the fields and facilities from possible attacks by the Daesh Takfiri terrorists. That claim came although Trump had earlier suggested that Washington sought economic interests in controlling the oil fields.
Syria, which has not authorized the presence of the US military in its territory, says Washington is “plundering” the country’s oil.
The Syrians should be sending the yanks back to Amerika in body bags. If push came to shove, I don’t think the US can gain total air superiority in Syria and if the US loses a few planes, Trump would be under the cosh. Given the chaos in Amerika and even though the deep state is behind it, there is a huge gulf between the interests of the deep state in Syria and the Middle East, & the economic & BLM crisis. Syria can kick the US in the shins and make the agendas in the ‘homeland’ less stable. Slashing police funding in New York opens the door for the military to step in & that could be curfews and defacto shoot to kill, no questions asked.
The US military has NO right to be in Syria. NONE! The presence of the US military in Syria should have been greatly opposed by US citizens who stand for the rule of law. Instead, there have been no protests here in America about this illegal activity by the
US military. WHY? Because Americans love the rule of the Jew, and not the rule of Law.
Israel did 911. Remember the USS Liberty.
Russians explain behavior of US soldiers in the following way:
US soldiers are mercenaries. They are in the army for money.
One can die for his family, for his homeland, but nobody is willing to die for money.
They are cowards and will remain cowards.
US military will probably implode like German/Austrian military in 1918.
In the illegal war on the people of iraq American killed more brits that the people they were fighting, in W W 2 US atrocities against German nationals was horrendous
I know guys from the SAS who are in syria and iraq daily leaving bombs about the place
We have no right to be there, just bcacuse israel wants the whole middle east
Just a simple question ?
WTF is the US Army doing in Syria ?
SAA should have disarmed these mercenaries, took them to a shed, gave them a cup of tea and embark the scum on a boat back to the company US INC. for whom they are working wars and kill innocent people.
Thereafter give them the Zionist Treatment if they resist to give up their weaponry.
There is still plenty of room in the zio-hell.
OUT and AWAY from Syria, for ever!
Its shame that the SAS dont have any backbone, most decent real men would say NO i will not commit terrorist acts in an illegal war on the people of Iraq
Patrick: I recently read (might have been on here) that the US lost in Vietnam because there was a widespread revolt in the ranks and senior officers were being openly shot. There were other reasons for the loss, but this would’ve been up there. British pilots patrolling the Iraqi Northern No-Fly-Zone threatened to stop flying. This is in New Rulers of the World by John Pilger (Verso). All this leads us to the rise of private special forces (private armies) led mercenary armies sometimes know as ISIS and others.
A few years after the atrocity that was Shock and Awe, and shortly after the US prison atrocities at Abu Ghraib and Baghram, a TV crew was embedded with a convoy of US marines or infantry. One young soldier on the convoy said a few days earlier the convoy was in a panic outside Abu Ghraib prison about 25 miles west of Baghdad, because their private security “escort” (his word) left the convoy alone for reasons unknown.
These grunts shouldn’t need private security escorts. Are they really are such poor soldiers, or is it simply a mechanism for mercenary outfits to hoover up Pentagon funds? If ever there are unlawful combatants it’s these dogs of war who should be shot on sight. They are scum.
