Trump ended Obama’s Operation Timber Sycamore program to overthrow Assad in 2017 and is now trying to go after weapons depots that were used as arms supply storage houses for CIA backed dirty war Sunni rebels as part of this operation. The Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton CIA directed operation to arm Sunni Salafist Wahhabite Islamist mercenary rebels including Free Syrian Army, Syrian branch of Al Qaeda-Al Nusra and ISIS featured an alliance with Gulf Arab allies such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates in addition to Turkey and Jordan. Saudi intelligence and the CIA collaborated in arming these rebels and up to 100,000 Syrian Army (SAA) soldiers of the Russian backed Syrian Bashar-Al- Assad government were either wounded or killed in a four year period, causing Russia to intervene in the Syrian war in Fall 2015 to bomb the NATO backed Al Qaeda mercenaries. Read about how these proxy contra-style mercenaries were armed and trained in this article that details the nefarious Operation Timber Sycamore program to overthrow the Russian backed Assad government. How much money this program ended up costing is still not known.
