"Political Earthquake" - Germany's AfD Party Posts Historic Win In Thuringia, Scores First District Administrator

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has won its first district leadership post by a "convincing margin". Robert Sesselmann picked up 52.8% of the vote in Thuringia’s Sonneberg district to become AfD’s first ever district administrator. The win came despite a cross-party coalition of Greens, Free Democrats, the Left Party, and the Social Democrats endorsing the CDU candidate. As we noted last week, a recent INSA poll showed AfD on a record 20% of the vote.

Why Are There Still American Troops in Syria?

Call it a forever war.

US troops are fighting ISIS in Syria. But Congress hasn’t approved it, the public hardly knows about it, and it’s not clear under what conditions the US would leave.

Americans tend to only be reminded of the 900 US troops and hundreds of contractors stationed there when they came under attack, often from militants who have Iran’s support, or when there is a mishap — like this week.

In northeast Syria on Sunday, 22 US soldiers from an elite commando unit were injured in a helicopter’s “hard landing” due to a technical issue, according to the Pentagon.

More broadly this spring, US bases have been coming under attack from Iranian-backed groups, with the potential for the US troops there to be drawn into a broader conflict.

The US is in Syria to curb the terrorist group Islamic State or ISIS, in a region that is semi-autonomous and run by the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish group.

Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said that troops are needed because “if you completely ignore and turn your back, then you’re setting the conditions for a resurgence.”

But experts say that the US troops there are not building toward a sustainable outcome, and that resisting ISIS has become the pretext for a perpetual US presence.

“It’s a strategy that just makes no sense,” says Robert Ford, who served as US ambassador to Syria from 2011 to 2014. “The real way forward is not leaving 900 troops to play whack-a-mole in eastern Syria.”

Ford explains that the American mission to secure the outright defeat of ISIS is impossible. The 900 troops in the northeast of Syria and the US garrison at al-Tanf cannot stop a low level of recruitment into ISIS ranks. “So we can bomb some and we can kill some, but they’ll always replace the people that they lose,” he told me. “This is a classic forever war.”

🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇷🇺 On the evening of June 23, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken sent an urgent telegram to US foreign policy officials around the world prohibiting comment on the Wagner PMC mutiny in Russia. This was reported by the portal Axios.

Thus, the Secretary of State allegedly wanted to get a guarantee that not a single American diplomat, by his statements, would create the impression of US involvement in what happened in Russia, the newspaper notes, citing sources.

According to another State Department interlocutor, Blinken wanted US officials to wait for a more detailed picture of what is happening before commenting on it.
