U.S. Military Involvement in Syria's Regime Change
U.S. military officials acknowledged their active role in supporting rebel groups during the Syrian conflict, which led to the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. U.S. Special Forces informed British and American-trained fighters that they were to be ready for an offensive aimed at ending Assad's regime, indicating prior knowledge of the planned operation. This involvement was presented under the guise of combating remnants of ISIS, despite the assertion that ISIS had been largely defeated for years. The acknowledgment that the U.S. funded and prepared the rebels reveals a strategic orchestration of military actions, designed to facilitate a regime change in Syria.
