The U.S. military currently fails with its attempt to occupy south-east Syria. Iraq and Syrian forces will prevent the move (recom). The U.S. proxy SDF is retreating as the Syrian army comes near. More U.S. weapons for it will not be enough to change the picture. Trump seems not willing right now to dive deeper into the Syrian cauldron. The British government has been burned by the Manchester blowback attack which was committed by a British "Libyan rebel" it had pushed to fight with Jihadis when Theresa May was the responsible Home Secretary, There is little appetite right now for another such blunder.
