- Trump’s recent announcement of withdrawal of American troops from
Syria, should not create any complacent feelings; on the contrary it
should alert all the peoples of the area. The reason why is because –one
way or another- this constitutes the acceleration of the development of
conflict between the US and the other imperialists, especially Russia;
and of course the escalation of their invasive policy in the area.
Let us not forget that last time the US announced a troops’ withdrawal,
that very announcement came with the launching of Tomahawk missiles
against Syria and with the even greater intervention of the US to the
Syrian front, which, even though much less possible at the moment,
cannot be excluded as a possibility.
It is also indicative that this announcement comes with the US
underlining (so that there are no misconceptions to any foes or allies)
that they are sustaining their ability to face swiftly and decisively
any upcoming threat, through their Iraq based troops and assault weapon
systems. Even the withdrawal timetable the US announced gives them the
potential to calculate the results and even the reactions from their
announcement, in order to plan ahead their next steps.
