My gosh how long is this war Gonna go on. The US was only supposed to be in Syria for 3 – 4 months( That Was 8 Years Ago ) It’s time the US got out of Syria and let the other people take over
Afghanistan and Syria are separate countries. But yes the USA needs to stop meddling in both countries. Infact as they are the major cause of all strife in the world they should stay home. Build a wall around the whole country to keep them in.
