Atwan: A humiliating escape awaits US troops in Iraq and Syria.
A leading analyst in the Arab world has predicted a bad fate for US troops in the coming months, citing escalating Iraqi and Syrian resistance attacks on US military bases.
“Abdul Bari Atwan” in an article in Rai Al-Youm, referring to the increase in attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria, said: Attack on a US base in the oil field east of Deir ez-Zor with rockets and UAVs, two attacks less than 12 hours apart and at the same time It is significant with the widespread attacks on the American military base in Ain al-Assad in western Iraq.
“It is clear that these attacks, which have intensified in recent weeks, are aimed at forcing the United States to dismantle these bases and withdraw all its forces from Iraq and Syria, similar to what it did in Afghanistan in recent days,” he wrote.
Atwan added: “Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, in a conversation with a Russian media about a year and a half ago about how to deal with the American occupiers who have encircled the Syrian oil and gas wells in eastern Deir ez-Zor, said that the United States is a superpower and Syrian forces They are not able to fight it at the moment, especially considering that Damascus is fighting the terrorists and retaking its lands from the terrorists. Bashar al-Assad said at the time that this did not mean that resistance groups would not be formed to carry out the mission, which was to drive out American forces.
“It is unlikely that these escalating attacks on US bases in the Omar oil field will be the beginning of guerrilla warfare by Syrian Arab groups in the region,” he wrote.
“Joint Syrian-Iraqi resistance groups will force the United States to flee the Syrian-Iraqi territory in the coming months, and there is ample evidence that future attacks on US forces will result in casualties,” he said. It will enter these bases similar to 2009 and 2010, when resistance against US forces under General Petraeus was at its peak.
Atwan wrote: “Certainly the US government will give up the separatist Kurds in northern Syria, similar to its agents in Afghanistan, which left its allies alone after twenty years.” The Taliban control more than 85% of Afghanistan’s territory and control 250 of the 290 districts, and Ashraf Ghani’s government controls only Kabul and some small towns.
Atwan wrote in the end: The United States lost in Iraq and Syria and the whole Middle East and lost six trillion dollars and lost its troops in Iraq, will be defeated in Syria and its troops will have a miserable fate. Syrian oil and gas will return to its government and people.
