US prepares to build new military base in Kobani Syria

zerohedge.com

The U.S. is preparing to establish a new military base in Ain Al-Arab (Kobani), Syria, following the recent overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. This marks an expansion of U.S. military presence in the region, particularly near the Turkish border. Reports indicate that U.S. forces have transported equipment, including cement blocks and surveillance gear, to support the new base. This development comes amid rising tensions between U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces and al-Qaeda-affiliated groups. The U.S. continues to maintain its military presence in Syria, despite challenges from various factions, including Turkey, which opposes U.S. support for the Kurdish-led SDF. The situation remains complex as the U.S. holds key oil and gas resources in the region.
