Say what you want about US military spending, but it’s very impressive the US can fly in with some special forces, and kidnap a terrorist figure like it’s nbd. So much training and coordination, and it’s just another day.

With how much money we spend, I expect nothing less than this level of expertise.

Oh look, an unhinged comment completely unrelated to anything I said.

Good troll attempt, but you can do better. 🤙

Syria’s military isn’t exactly great, and it’s probably not even government controlled territory. The government only controls about 60% and the US actually occupies a small amount of the country.

Maybe now we know why they were practicing in downtown San Diego a couple weeks ago.

I'm curious what bullshit criticism Fox News is going to be pushing on this today.

The war against ISIS has been going since the group seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria in mid-2014.

Backed by U.S.-led coalition airpower, Iraqi security forces retook Mosul in July 2017, and the SDF captured Raqqa in October 2017.

Several thousand ISIS fighters surrendered to the SDF during its 2018-2019 offensive

Shortly before the fall of Baghouz, General Joseph Votel, the outgoing commander of U.S. Central Command, warned Congress that ISIS made a “calculated decision to preserve the safety of their families and preservation of their capabilities by taking their chances in camps for internally displaced persons, and going to ground in remote areas and waiting for the right time to resurge.”
