World War III? Pentagon Sends Troops to Libya

U.S. military upping anti-ISIS activity in Libya …  The Pentagon is slightly expanding its efforts to counter ISIS activity in Libya, sending in small teams of troops to try to establish relationships with groups that may be able to form a new nationwide government, according to a U.S. defense official familiar with the operation.  -CNN

The US is sending troops into Libya.

Libya is seen as a dysfunctional state by Western powers that prefer a unified government that provides "civil order." Now the US military is "upping" its presence

It is questionable as to whether order and civil society are the inevitable outcome of central government. But the Pentagon and State Dept. seem to believe that.

More:

U.S. troops, which the Pentagon is calling "contact teams," are traveling into key areas and meeting with leaders from all groups to see about possible cooperation and eventually what assistance the U.S. could provide if a government can be formed.

Hillary Clinton famously said, "We came, we saw, he died," referring to Muammar Gaddafi. But this didn't turn out to be the last chapter.

It's not just Libya. The US military just decided to put "boots on the ground" in Yemen.

Here from Infowars:

The war in Yemen was already being waged with US weapons, including  mostly banned cluster bombs via Saudi Arabia, but now American special forces of an undisclosed number are going to participate in combat operations.

The Pentagon says the special forces in Yemen will serve in advisory capacity, but for how long is unknown. Department of Defense spokesman Peter Cook admitted there is no exit strategy: "It's going to be a limited period of time, but I don't have a particular deadline."

The US is in Syria too. Global Research:

Syrians Burn American Flag, Protest against Illegal Presence of US Soldiers … A similar rally had earlier been held on Wednesday as local residents called for American Troops expulsion from their country.

… On April 28, US President Barack Obama announced that Washington would "deploy up to 250 additional US personnel in Syria including Special Forces." They are reportedly expected to train the Syrian Democratic Forces. The US administration, however, argues that their move is not illegal and the US does not need the Syrian government's approval.
