Why Some U.S. Troops Are Still In Syria

President Biden's claim that the US is not at war is challenged by ongoing military engagements, particularly in Syria. Despite troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, US forces remain active in various conflict zones, including Syria, where they support the SDF against ISIS. The presence of US troops is partly to prevent oil from funding terrorism. The situation is complicated by Russian military activities and potential conflicts with Turkey. Biden faces a dilemma: withdrawing troops could destabilize the region, but their presence contradicts his promise to end 'forever wars.'
