US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief, General Michael Kurilla, said on 16 March that the Russian air force has increased the frequency of “unprofessional” and “unsafe” flyovers of #US illegal occupation bases in #Syria. thecradle.co/article-view/2…
Around 900 #US illegal ocupation forces are still deployed in the Levantine nation, controlling nearly a third of the country and a large portion of its oil fields. thecradle.co/article-view/2…
#US deployment is illegal under international law as it was not approved by the government in #Damascus and was launched by abusing #Washington’s Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). thecradle.co/article-view/2…
Contrary to the illegal #US occupation and their hijacking of #Syria’s resources, the #Russian army has been present since 2015 after #Damascus requested military assistance to push back against #ISIS and other #US-sponsored extremist groups. thecradle.co/article-view/2…
Despite #US claims that it is committed to the defeat of #ISIS, earlier this month Al-Monitor noted: “Nearly four years after the [ISIS] defeat on the battlefield, some 10,000 suspected fighters from the group remain in makeshift prisons under [US-proxy militia] control, 
with not even a hint of international political will to establish war crimes tribunals on the horizon.”

An August 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report had made clear that Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood, & Al-Qaeda were the driving forces of the #US & Gulf-backed insurgency against the #Syrian government, thecradle.co/article-view/2…
and that the #US and its regional allies supported the establishment of a “Salafist principality” in eastern #Syria as part of the effort to topple President Bashar al-Assad and divide the country. thecradle.co/article-view/2…
For 18 months after the declaration of the so-called Caliphate, #US planners took no action against #ISIS, allowing the group to threaten #Baghdad & #Damascus. thecradle.co/article-view/2…
