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.

Hegseth's Chief Of Staff Out After Leaked Signal Chats; Pentagon In Chaos As Top Officials Ousted

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper, is stepping down amid a deepening leak scandal tied to unauthorized Signal chats about U.S. strikes on Yemen. His resignation follows the ousting of three top Pentagon advisors, reportedly over clashes with Kasper. The White House is standing by Hegseth, though pressure mounts after claims a journalist was accidentally included in sensitive Signal discussions.

U.S Military Using CHINA-MADE Drones? Pentagon's Tariffs Blue List IGNORED By Defense Firms

Despite Trump-era tariffs and Pentagon bans, nearly every drone used by American companies still contains critical Chinese components. From engines to airframes and batteries, U.S. drone tech — including military-grade hardware — remains heavily reliant on China. Silicon Valley startups, defense contractors, and even top officials like VP J.D. Vance have been exposed using Chinese tech. With China controlling nearly 90% of global drone hardware, experts warn that any cutoff couldcripple the U.S. drone industry for up to a year. #ChinaTech #Drones #USMilitary #DefenseIndustry #DroneWar #TradeWar #Pentagon #SupplyChainCrisis #BeijingTech #JDVance #AmericanDrones #TrumpTariffs #NationalSecurity #TechDependence #DronePolitics #SiliconValley #TariffBackfire #DroneImports #BlueList #ChinaControl #CriticalTech #USvsChina #DroneMarket #ChineseHardware #TechNews #BreakingNews #DefenseTech #AIandDrones #WarTech #DroneShortage #BannedTech

Russia BLASTS West for Refugee Crisis: ā€˜Double Standards’ and Callous Neglect of Dying Innocents

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes. #RefugeeCrisis #Gaza #DoubleStandards #UN #HumanitarianCrisis #RussiaUN #MariaZabolotskaya #WesternHypocrisy #Refugees #InternationalLaw #GlobalPolitics #MediterraneanCrisis #Syria #Afghanistan #UkraineRefugees #SaveTheRefugees ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~

Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage.

At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead.
