Hello everybody and thank you for tuning into the weekly report. The best way to protect

U.S. troops in Syria. Last week saw a sharp increase in attacks on U.S. troops occupying

north-eastern Syria with a drone strike against a U.S. base blamed on pro-eraan forces and a U.S.

counter-strike said to have killed at least 19 people. After the U.S. retaliation, another strike

by pro-eraan forces hit a number of U.S. sites in Syria. It may be just a matter of time before

there are more strikes against the 900 U.S. troops based in Syria against Syria's wishes.

One U.S. contractor was killed last time. Next time it could be many more Americans. What's

behind the sudden escalation? Fundamental changes in the Middle East over the past month

have highlighted how indefensible is the continued U.S. occupation of Syria and Iraq. Take for

example the recent historic mending of relations between former arch-animate Saudi Arabia and Iran

which was brokered by Washington's own arch-animate China. U.S. policy in the Middle East has long

been dividing conqueror, dating back at least to the Iran-Araq war in the 1980s. U.S. switching

sides in that war guaranteed that the maximum amount of blood was spilled and that the simmering

hatreds would continue to prevent any kind of lasting peace. Then the U.S. invaded Iraq 20 years ago

and turned Iraq into an Iranian ally. That's neocon foreign policy for you and 100% fell

your rate. So this month China which is interested in creating a regional transportation corridor

that would include Iran came in and instead of bombing invaded and occupying. Washington's

mode is operandi actually brokered the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. both love to attack China but China has achieved what the

U.S. has resisted for years, peace in the region. Should we be surprised that the continued U.S.

occupation is not welcome in the Middle East? The United States occupies that huge chunk of Syria

where the oil and agriculture is located and the goal appears to be producing profits for U.S.
