Just want to make sure I'm understanding you here: are you making the claim that the US should not have troops in Syria, even though they are there at the request of the people who are being terrorized by supporters of the Islamic State, and authorized by the UN to do so? According to DW news[1], the US is in Syria for these 4 reasons: > Firstly, they were there to sustain the fight against the extremist IS group. This includes helping to train and arm the Syrian Kurdish fighters, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, who fought the IS group and who now control this part of Syria. The US regularly warns that the militias it supports here may only fight the IS group, unless they are acting in self-defense. > Other American priorities in Syria include supporting local ceasefires, stabilizing the area and helping with humanitarian aid and access, as well as "pressing for accountability and respect for international law, while promoting human rights and non-proliferation." > All of these are supposed to help in achieving a political solution to the ongoing Syrian crisis, as set out in Resolution 2254, agreed upon by the UN Security Council in 2015. 1. https://www.dw.com/en/what-does-the-us-actually-want-in-syria/a-62982425 https://www.dw.com/en/what-does-the-us-actually-want-in-syri...
