In recent years, although the United States' strategic focus has moved eastward, given the irreplaceable strategic interests in the Middle East, the United States still has many troops stationed in , Middle East, , and also supports "agents" forces and launches necessary military operations from time to time. After all, the United States has always been under the guise of "counter-terrorism" when interfering in the situation in the Middle East. Moreover, for the interests of its allies, the United States often needs to take counter-terrorism actions. However, if we expect the US military to truly eliminate terrorism cleanly and completely, we have thought too much. The US military will only become more and more terror when fighting terrorism. At most, it will only take actions similar to "beheading", at least it will make a lot of money in global public opinion.
According to Associated Press on December 12, on the evening of the 11th, a US military and the "Syrian Democratic Army" patrolled the eastern part of Syria. There were ground troops on the land and sent helicopters in the air. At that time, taking advantage of the cover of night, the US military helicopter rushed to a stronghold of the Islamic State (ISIS) armed forces and launched a decisive attack. When the helicopter approached the stronghold, the US military ordered the militants to surrender, but was rejected by the latter. Then the US military opened fire without hesitation and killed two militants. Afterwards, Joe Bucino, spokesman for the Middle East of , the U.S. Central Command, issued a statement saying that one of the people shot was named Anas, and was one of the leaders of the Islamic State and was an "Islamic State Syrian Provincial Official." It also pointed out that "the existence of ISIS in Syria poses a threat to the security and stability of the region, and this operation will seriously undermine the terrorist attacks further planned and carried out by the terrorist organization in the Middle East."
This raid launched by the US military is another typical "decapitation" operation. The US military was very skillful in tactical operation and was very successful. It can be seen that the US military joined forces with the Syrian Democratic Army, an ally of the eastern region, in the name of patrol, because the US military's patrol operations are relatively normal and can paralyze the Islamic State's armed forces. Then the US military took advantage of the unpreparedness and unexpectedly launched a surprise attack on the Islamic State stronghold. The US military took advantage of the armed helicopter and acted very quickly. It is estimated that neither of the two Islamic State leaders reacted much at the time and found that they were in trouble.
It is reported that recently, the US military has launched a "beheading operation" in Syria more than once. At the end of November, in the Dala area about 5 kilometers southwest of the Syrian capital Damascus, ISIS militants carried out terrorist unrest. When the US military learned the news, they immediately dispatched and seized the opportunity to take action to wipe out a group of militants. Afterwards, senior officials of the Islamic State announced that a leader named Abu Hasan Hashmi Gulei was unfortunately "dead" in the incident.
An earlier "decapitation operation" this year took place on February 3, also in the evening. At that time, the US military dispatched a special force. With prior information, it launched a strike against an ISIS stronghold in northwestern Syria, successfully decapitating this stronghold, and a leader named Qushi was beaten to death. It is reported that this person has a high status and position in the Islamic State organization. The U.S. Department of Defense later announced that the operation was directed by the U.S. Central Command. It can be seen that the US military is often effective in combating the Islamic State armed culprit, but it would be a big mistake to use this to beautify the US military. Take this operation on the evening of February 3 for example. During the operation, the US military opened fire together with civilian targets, killing at least 13 civilians, including 4 women and 6 children.
The United States has long pursued a global strategy, so in many countries around the world, the US military has military operations under the banner of "anti-terrorism", such as Afghanistan . Although the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan in August last year, it still remembered the country that had been ravaged by its war for about 20 years. At the end of July this year, the United States dispatched the drone, , and flew into Afghanistan, flew over Kabul, and fired two missiles from the drone, accurately hitting the residence of an al-Qaeda leader named Zawahri , and successfully bombed him to death.Although the US military is "beheading" the extremist leader, the operation's violation of Afghan territorial sovereignty is unscrupulous and blatant.
The US military's anti-terrorism campaign has frequently occurred. Objectively speaking, it has indeed shocked terrorist organizations and weakened their power to a certain extent, but it is impossible to truly eliminate terrorism cleanly and completely, at most it is to break up the terrorist forces. Over the years, in countries such as Syria and Afghanistan that have been harmed by US hegemony, the terrorist organization is like sparks, and its ghosts are still in dispersed, becoming even more difficult to clear. Perhaps, without the US military's "anti-terrorism" operations, the world will be more peaceful.
