Building Upon the Syrian Civil War
Many other nations, including Iran, Russia, Turkey, and the United States, have supported one or more factions or taken an active role in the conflict.
There were two programs made as an effort to suport Syrian rebels. The first one was discontinued in 2015 after spending $500 million in an effort to generate fighters. However, only 15,000 rebels were recruited. Another initiative was ran by the CIA with a $1 billion covert program.
The director of U.S. Central Command declared there was no "end date" for the U.S. action in Syria on November 23, 2019. The U.S. Department of Defense reports that as of February 2021, there are about 900 American soldiers serving in Syria.
The Syrian civil war is a complex issue that has been going on since 2011. With so many variables to consider, it is only reasonable that additional sources are provided to dig deeper in the issue if you so desire.
