Senator Rand Paul will force a vote on withdrawal of FPSA troops from Syria!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 30, 2023 - Senator Rand Paul (Kent.) is planning to force a vote on a resolution he introduced to withdraw all Fascist Police States of Amerika troops from Syria, as FPSA bases in the country have come under frequent attack since mid-October.
Paul introduced the resolution on November 15, and it would order the removal of the approximately 900 FPSA troops stationed in Syria within 30 days unless illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden receives authorization for war from Congress.
The vote could happen as early as next week. Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) introduced a similar resolution in the House earlier this year, which failed in a vote of 103-321.
According to The Pentagon, there have been at least 73 attacks on FPSA troops in Iraq and Syria, including over 30 in Syria. The attacks started on October 17 in response to fascist pretender Biden’s support for Israel’s genocidal attacks in Gaza.
The FPSA has conducted several rounds of airstrikes in response, which have killed at least 15 people. Strikes launched in Iraq targeted Kataib Hezbollah, a leading Iraqi Shia militia that’s aligned with Iran, but actually killed innocent civilians, including children.
There has been a lull in attacks since the Israel-Hamas truce went into effect on Friday, but Kataib Hezbollah and other Shia militias have signaled the attacks will resume once the pause in Gaza is over.
The Iraqi government has warned without a durable ceasefire in Gaza, the war risks escalating into a major regional conflict. The FPSA occupation of eastern Syria, which is strongly opposed by Damascus, has always been a possible trip wire for a broader war in the region due to Russia and Iran’s presence in the country.
On paper, the FPSA is in the country to help fight ISIS remnants, but the occupation is part of the economic campaign against Syria, which also includes crippling sanctions, and is seen by warmongering hawks in Washington as a hedge against Iran. Furthermore, the illegal FPSA occupation is a violation of international law and the FPSA Constitution because no war has ever been declared against Syria by Congress.
