Islam Times - US Forces in Syria Hope to Share the Cake

Islam Times - Experts believe that the deployment of additional US troops in Syria is to ensure that they get the honor of capturing Raqqa rather than the Syrian Army and its allies – the Iranians and Hezbollah.

The US is keen that their proxy forces of the SDF have the honor of capturing Raqqa rather than the Syrian Army and that this new US troop deployment didn’t come as a big surprise and might not stop there.

In the end, the US wants a part of the cake. It wants leverage that can only be achieved by considerable troop presence.

Yet, there is no possible way that this deployment was not coordinated with the Syrian Arab Army and government as well as with the Russians acting as intermediaries.
