About this episode
In this episode, we break down reports of U.S. troops in Syria coming under hostile fire during a routine patrol and what it reveals about America’s ongoing, undeclared military presence there. In this episode, we explore the America First critique that the mission has drifted past defeating ISIS—raising questions about congressional accountability, Iran-backed militia threats, and what an actual exit strategy should look like.
