U.S Doubles Presence in Syria to 2,000 Troops: Pentagon Admits Surge But Calls it a 'Coincidence'

The Pentagon has revealed that the number of US troops in Syria has more than doubled, now totaling around 2,000 instead of the previously reported 900.

In this video, we explore the Pentagon's surprising admission and whether this surge of troops is linked to the recent political upheaval in Syria, particularly the fall of President Bashar Assad's government.

With the timing of the deployment raising questions, is this just a coincidence, or is there a larger strategic plan at play?

Join us as we dive into the details of this military escalation and its potential implications for US foreign policy in the region.
