Hey fren so anyway when bakers are putting article links into notables, they need to require anons to copy pasta the article text. I preview a notable and it's just the sauce, no pasta…who's going to eat that shit? Nobody is going to click the article link, especially if they're just trying to read it from notables. We should be able to see the entire article text/content. Don't be lazy anons. Plus, some links are MSM and I'm sure AF not gonna be giving the MSM clicks

"Syria's UN ambassador calls on US to withdraw troops, 'stop acts of aggression"

Syria's first diplomatic message to US President Joe Biden came with a stern call for Washington to withdraw its forces and stop its "plundering" of the country's wealth.
Bashar al-Jaafari, Syrian ambassador to the United Nations, called on Biden to change US foreign policy in Syria, which is nearing 10 years of civil war sparked by a brutal crackdown on an anti-government uprising in 2011.
During a virtual session of the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Jaafari accused the United States of using the multi-sided war to steal the country's oil reserves and other natural resources.

"The American occupation forces continue to plunder Syria's wealth of oil, gas and agricultural crops, burning and destroying what it cannot steal," Jaafari said, as quoted by the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency.
During his address, he said the US should withdraw its troops from Syria - a goal of the past administration that it failed to meet.
"The new US administration must stop acts of aggression and occupation, plundering the wealth of my country, withdraw its occupying forces from it, and stop supporting separatist militias, illegal entities, and attempts to threaten Syria's sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity," Jaafari said.
Biden has experience with top-level concerns regarding the war in Syria, as it broke out when he was serving as vice-president under former US President Barack Obama.
At the time, Biden backed rebel calls for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad - accused of human rights abuses - to step down.
Many years later, international calls for Assad's removal have quietened, as the leader has managed to stay in power throughout the conflict, unlike most of his regional counterparts that faced the "Arab Spring" uprising.
US troop levels
About 900 US troops are reportedly still in Syria - though the Trump administration stopped publishing such information in 2017, making numbers difficult to verify.
When former President Donald Trump took office, there were around 500 US troops stationed in Syria to help US coalition forces, including the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), fight the Islamic State (IS) group.
