Russian Media Releases More Videos On Abandoned U.S. Bases In Northern Syria



Daily Mail: American troops abandoned their camp in Syria so swiftly they left behind a mess full of alcohol-free beer, DVDs and even satellite equipment

* A Russian journalist filmed at the derelict U.S. base near Manbij in northern Syria
* The military camp was equipped with armchairs, fridges and satellite dishes
* Donald Trump ordered troops out of Syria, paving the way for Turkish invasion

This video shows the inside of an American military camp in Syria which was hastily abandoned by U.S. troops after Donald Trump ordered them out.

Russian journalist Oleg Blokhin filmed at the base near Manbij in northern Syria where bottles of alcohol-free beer were still sitting on tables, a wide-screen TV was perched inside a tent and a laundry room was lying empty.

The camp was equipped with armchairs, fridges and satellite dishes, as well as books and a collection of DVDs and video games, all of which were left behind.

American forces cleared out hurriedly as Turkey began its military onslaught within days of Trump's announcement earlier this month, and Russian and Syrian forces have already entered the area.

WNU Editor: I am surprised that they left trucks behind. This was a quick evacuation. The Kremlin is being blunt on their assessment of this "evacuation" and U.S> betrayal of the Kurds .... Kremlin says U.S. betrayed Kurds in Syria, tells Kurds to withdraw or be mauled (Euronews/Reuters).

The Kurds knew back in January that Trump wanted the US out, 8 months later and it is is a surprise?

Personally, I want us to stay

There is pluses and minuses either way.

What is incredible is that many of the people bitching the loudest never did sufficient spadework justifying us being there or selling it to the public.

John McCain is not one of them. He certainly shook the boat trying to see the US being in the Syria. His research was bad, but he was making a case. He would have reason to complain some.

These other assholes ... not so much.

I will vote for Trump 1 year from now. Sometimes fighting a war that does not have enough popular backing because the media and many pols are dishonest makes it not worth it.
