Well, by this we can see that conflict will escalate in the Levant, it becomes the arena that AntiChrist will stage his final and futile battle, Israel under siege facing extinction with just a remnant left is rescued by the Lords glorious appearing, and it is then that the nation of Israel will be saved. Then the Lord Jesus will establish His reign from Jerusalem for 1000 years.

So why would the US want to position itself in the midst of the Lord's final battle? Since Israel is rescued by the Lord's glorious appearing how is that instructive to the US to intervene? Likewise, how is the fact that the Lord is going to establish his reign for 1,000 years instructive to US foreign policy?

Again I don't see how any of this has anything to do with US foreign policy. Are you saying that since will be established at that time that we should not be peace makers in this age?

The civil war in Syria is because the nations around Israel want to extinguish her? Funny you should say that, some historians have said that the civil war in Syria is because Assad misread the earliest protests as an attempt by his enemies from foreign countries to topple him.
None of what you have shared is at all helpful to determining US policy.
