- Published on Mar 5, 2026
- The United States set up an air base with the Kurdish-led SDF after taking this city from ISIL; as the Syrian government advances in the northeast, Washington is preparing to withdraw.
Al-Shaddadi has served as a coordination and logistics hub against remaining ISIL cells.

The USA isn't welcome in the Middle East. 😊
we dont need your welcome.
good, the US should get out of the entirety of the Middle East!
Amerika sana nefes veriyor 😂😂
What about the 3000 Russians at their military base in Syria...? 🤔🫣
@bobhope9317 what about them? You get out or you get sent back in coffins. Nobody wants to attack your country it has enough problems of it's own to deal with anyway
Armed forces, not embassies and trade
@sladetuner8661 trade is up to the host countries. It's called sovereignty
In the same week we land troops in Nigeria. The wheel keeps turning
Yes .
All USA Troops Should Leave Syria and Iraq .
Turkey roasted Amerikkkan forces out of Syria. The ottaman is back while the amerikkans(including on the comments sections are hiding like rats)
@WaseemYasin-j9n Actually Turkey is Part of Nato and Both Turkey and New Syrian Regime Serve USA Interests in Syria , and That is Why USA Did Nothing to Save The SDF and is Considering to Pull Out USA Troops from Syria.

@bobhope9317
После падения режима Асада Сирия мертва, а это значит, что России следует оставить Сирию и Ливию и сосредоточиться на победе в войне против сионистской Украины.
Ахмед аш-Шара - друг США и Турции, и ему не нужна и не заслуживает помощи России.
Но Россия должна оказать последнюю помощь Сирии и Палестине, прекратив признавать право Израиля на существование.
@WaseemYasin-j9n😂😂🤣 yall get slapped up out here ! Stfu ain’t no one hiding
remember everything is carefully planned
Let Syria 🇸🇾 take care of itself
Miss you taresa bo greeting to from Somalia 🇸🇴
One united Syria
Alhamdullilah
What the pollution is going on in that background?
Huge black clouds coming from the base.
They’re burning every trace of what they’ve been doing there.
Burning documents. Happens when a military base/outpost is evacuated
Fuel oil generator
Let's hope they also leave the oil fields also
Good news
Bruh, wrap this stupid war up already.
2:17
They also leave the oil to Syria government..
Theory: US is gonna pullout multiple bases then go for iran. So iran would not target any US bases close to their country
ever since i was born I have seen , US just goes around countries make the country messy and then leaves
Russian federation military do the same .. a few days ago ❤❤
Since Trump's first presidential term, there have been at least two instances where the media reported that US troops were to leave Syria:
- *2018 and 2019*: Trump's administration attempted to withdraw from Syria twice.
- *2025*: The US Department of Defense was reportedly preparing plans for a full US withdrawal from Syria, according to NBC News.
It's all just theatre.
ancient before all the old model weapons were burned out, where is there any achievement in the firearm industry with cartridge magazines filled with smokeless gunpowder with live bullets that there are users sent to the battlefield that are found only death, if you want to achieve must use an insulated firearm with a piezoelectric type ignition electric ignition rod bridge contact unit with a cartridge magazine jet filled with alcohol + pressurized air with rubber bullets competing in a team give up tactical match 10 vs 10 650> - 1000< fps in a modern large tactical coleseum 65-75 meters × 150-180 meters with many barriers for athletes to take shelter in it specifically for less lethal PE firearms, then can compete fairly, starting from tactical strategy, intelligence, manners, speed, accuracy of civilian user athletes (civilian private security organizations) and armed forces of the governments of nations
The cause and foundation of the problem is Italy and France Paris, Torino Taranto Sardegna Napoli Napolitano's America Rome?
When a country or party is called "democratic", you know it isn't. A name does not make something.
They went there and handed their bases to former ISIS and Alqaeda and returned! And the reporter seems very excited!!!!
Another fake news and propaganda by Al Jazeera.
You like propaganda this isn't usa propaganda 😊
@SalimSalimmohamed-x8n syria is a friend now, we dont need to be there :)
@deprogrammNo one need usa
They were there because of Asad, not that ISIL has the gov they don't see the need!
A good move by the US so iranian missiles should be pivoted to other direction.
Wherever is chaos America is involved
Off to Nigerian
Honestly i had seen a video
1st usa was featured people were hostilities huge level
2nd russians are welcomed like local heroes
(For me i agree on us withdrawal bec isis is no more why stay biden allowed to return troops presents even duo trump withdraw it in his 1st term he did it again in his 2nd term)
Turkey roasted Amerikkkan forces out of Syria. The ottaman is back while the amerikkkans(including on the comments sections are hiding like rats)
lol what are you smoking lol
Your allah is hiding like rats in the rubles when Israel is bombing Gaza
Lol ottomans got crushed years ago buddy
joke of the century 😂
@Kinglew-f4j the rats are out of the hiding holes
When Afghans defeated British it got in pieces after that and from become UK when Afghans defeated Russia from USSR it become Russia now when Afghans defeated America is empire is about to die as well
Interesting observation
All Arab countries should do this. Dont side with any camp just be diplomaitcally open for mutual interests.
Syria left the Russian bases that supported Assad, but that does not mean its Russias friend
Syria wishing the USA to leave does not mean it declared a war on them
We Arabs all know we hate both but these nations act so aggresively in the mid-east like nowhere else in the world, so you gotta play your weak cards right. No "lSrAeIi c0nSpIraCiEs" no bs.
Greeting to my Syrian brothers from Libya
Another afghanistan moment for usa😂
How so? Assad was toppled and the new state is friendly to the U.S. even visiting the White House.
What are you talking about. USA base was there to defeat ISIL. Assad never worked with USA and now the new Syrian government is closer to USA government then ever before.
@nhjhbmkuy7173 Its diplomatic not friendly. Exactly like Afghanistan its open to diplomacy but doesnt take sides. Otherwise the Syrian government wouldnt have left the Russian to keep their bases
@rama7267the airbases are not important, the Tartus naval facility is. And multiple ministers have expressed a desire to convert it to civilian use and expel the Russian garrison from the port, that is important.
@nhjhbmkuy7173 And they didnt both are staying. Also I dont care what more important to the russians or the West. Im speaking from the perspective of the syrian government.

BNP's attack on Daripalla workers in Rajnagar?
Kurds are brave People,some of them mislead by Propagandist to create trouble n disunity in Syria...In the name of brotherhood, peace n security.....they should unite with the rest of Syria to live in bigger place to enjoy the benefits....
the muslim world dont need usa
The Israeli and Turkish armed forces should be next
Turkish not
Who's running Syria now?
USA
oddly no interview with the Kurds, Arab bias as usual.
So Israel can take it over. Don’t think this is just a withdrawal. Arabs are conquered until the end of the Universe.
2:05 what flag is that thought the US flag was red white and blue. What did the US secretly change its flag?
Darkened monotone coloring that militaries in certain countries wear if their flag colors is too bright and easy to spot for example when hiding in bushes.
@CapnCoke97Maybe so but subconscious programming is skillfully put in all flags. Who program that logo?
@Theironbodysensei I don't know what you mean program. But alot of countries do it include UK, Canada, Germany, Norway, Russia, etc. Some of them light up when using night vision. Its not new and they used to do it in 1980s. Last thing you want is to hide in grass and the red color on your flag shows your position.
@CapnCoke97well young man you don’t understand psychopaths running psychological warfare on the masses so see you way off this thread if you seeing between the lines.
US will never leave. They still haven’t left Iraq. They always maintain small base
US leaving syria territory is good and about time they do that
The usa is all over the world
And on the other side Israël is taking pieces of Syrian land. 🤦🏽
America should withdraw their troops out of West Asia and let the local forces take control of the region.
US EMPIRE IS IN DECLINE
There is no democracy and kurd come together side by side. There are terrorists, like ISIS, as trump explained, the US established ISIS and Kurdish terorists SDF/YPG/PKK. Kurdish terorists stole the land, water, petrol, homes, gardens, everything of Arabs, Turkmens and other minoritites in Syria, with the help of USA, and genocider isra*hel, with only 8% of Syrian population. Now its time for justice, they should give back things which they stolen from Syrians..
The US should leave the Persian Gulf as well
Look closely at what is happening.
For years, Assad bombed his own people. Entire cities were destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians were killed, and millions were displaced. The world watched. There were statements and condemnations, but no real intervention to stop the tragedy.
And suddenly, almost out of nowhere, Assad is no longer in the picture. Suddenly geopolitical movements begin. Why now? Many are asking whether this is really about the Syrian people or about much bigger interests behind the scenes.
Many are also questioning Ahmed Ashar. How does someone who once had bounties placed on him suddenly get presented as a president, welcomed and invited internationally?
Some believe he was not elected by the will of the people, but politically placed as part of a larger plan led by the United States to serve its interests in the region.
When it comes to conflicts with Iran, influence, and power balances, action is taken quickly. But when Syrians were being killed by the hundreds of thousands, no serious action was taken.
For many, this looks like a grand strategy. A game in which nations are played against each other so they remain weak.
Do not let yourselves be provoked against one another.
Turks, Kurds, and Arabs have more in common than what divides them. Continuing to fight each other only benefits those who profit from your division.
Unity is strength. Division only brings more suffering.
US fights IRAN ALONE !!!!!!
NOT the Neighbors !!!!🤔
🇺🇸US Embassy Hostages ✊😡
Not Forgotten
What's with the multiple exclamation marks! I'm hoping the Iranians have a missile with the chump's name on it and another with that izraeli chaps name... For a better world. 👍🇵🇸🇮🇷☮️
the Kurds in Iran "being Israel's proxy going to work out for us this time!" 😂
Who are you to talk like a snake against other people, without telling your origin?
@ytr5616 Iran is a 5000 year old nation. all of these fabricated entities you mentioned are like "Israel", a product of British imperialist divide and rule tactics.
@caligulas_psychiatrist Kurds have their own interests, we don’t need Israel to tell us to fight alien occupants. The mullahs on the other hand is is just a russian puppet regime.
The SDF were mixed between all ethnicities and religions from syria so they were not only Kurds in that force.
Pakistani military has done much attrocities on baloch people. Men's abducted, women raped, children made slaves and no human right organisation spoke anything, big nations kept silent. Read history of baloch, pakistan has illegally and forcefully occupied this place of peaceful baloch people. After so much attrocities they hold guns.. Then why nations are crying... Actually pakistan administration should be brought to justice. Why no one listen cries of small kids, older people and women of balochistan like Gaza.।। very much shameful world
The falling American Empire is leaving its military bases behind
You do know that US and Syria now have a strong relationship now that Assad is gone. Since ISIL and Assad are gone now Syria and US have a closer relationship weakening past relationships with countries like North Korea, Russia, and China had when Asad was in power.
Good. I don’t take kindly to Trump using our troops as cannon fodders there.
Kurdish people were betrayed
HAHAHA supporting the SDF is done. they used them to destabilize Syria. Now US puppet regime is installed, they dont need to occupy it anymore as their proxies are going to take over the control
Gtfo and stay out yankee!!
syria is a friend now, we dont need to be there :)
What the fcku is umerika doing in Syria? Imagine the craziness from the chump if Russia or China sent military forces into izrael because it's destabilising the area! Umerika is the most awful bully on the planet. Horrible horrible people
go yell in your mudhut
1:20 what happen to her lips
SDF worked and coordinated with ISIL throughout the years. ISIL technically kept the SDF in business!!!. They guaranteed the existence of SDF by occasionally staging attacks every time the USA started thinking about withdrawing from northeast Syria. But thanks God, Finally the USA elected a president with brains who realized what SDF is up to and decided it is time to close their business for good. SDF occupied Arab land in North East Syria for years, took billions of Dollars of Western money, and never spent one penny on the Infrastructure of these regions. Looking at the state of cities like Qamishli, Hasaka, Al Raqqa, Dir Ezzor, you would think they are deserted towns and cities, not cities that were controlled by Billion Dollar gang who were created by Dumb USA presidents, Starting with Obama and Ending with Biden/Harris. A weak and politically challenged liberal bunch.
What in god's name are you talking about?
Free Kurdistan ❤️☀️💚
Kurdistan is in Berlin, nice place.
it’s there too? I thought it was a toilet seat in the White House.
This needs to be said. Turkiye has kicked out the world out of Syria, Libya, Somalia
