Convenient. Just as DC is really angry about the Saudi/Iran and Turk/Syrian peace deals.
Biden needed to get something lit off so our Syria scam doesn’t fall apart.

Guess it’s time to bomb a milk factory or a family gathering.

Contractors? In Syria? Talk about workplace violence. This is really going to increase the disability insurance premiums. And it happened by suicide drone?

I think it’s serious.
I heard this here Iranian Drone flew in from the Tonkin Gulf, almost hit the USS Maine, narrowly missed the incubators in Kuwait City, sprayed Sarin over Syrian refugees, stole Hunter Biden’s laptop, stole the plans for the Mitsubishi Zero and the F-35, impregnated Brittany Spears, found the WMDs, dropped an explosive charge on Nordstream, read Ashley Biden’s dirty shower diary, discovered Trump is evil, was organizing an insurrection, sprayed RU-486 right over Yale, violated US airspace over Moscow, and sent a telegram to Mexico saying Germany would help them get the Southwest back if they will side with Iran.

Sounds bad...very bad.

We’ll be lucky if that Ukraine proxy war doesn’t spill over to other areas.

They have maintained control of the oil field in N.E. Syria.

President Trump said pull out, the State Department and the spooks never left.

Now, bear in mind, the N.Syrian Kurds were out good ally in eliminating ISIS.

President Trump takes credit for taking ISIS down. And it is True that we helped. But, we could not have accomplished that without the N. Syrian Kurds. Yes, I know their history, but they are good fighters and they love being able to live their own lives without a dictator.

Most of the posters on this forum have no idea what the world is like outside their controlled, scripted social media menagerie. Many have unwittingly come to support foreign, anti-American repressive interests and activities throughout the world. They are in actuality feeble-minded demoralized sycophants of the various anti-American interests which use this forum to promote their own nations’ interests at the expense of the United States and its foreign policy objectives.

Regarding Syria they do not give a rat turd for Syrian Kurds, Christians and political victims of the Assad regime and Iranian terror groups in the Middle East. Their unintended function is to diminish oppostion to Assad and Iran and relinquish Syrian oil fields to Assad and Iran to provide financial support for Iranian objectives in the region. They are simple minded tools of foreign powers and interests which use this site to promote their own nations’ interests at the expense of the United States and its allies. That’s how the world works. They are the losers of influence campaigns who’ve turned against their nation’s interests in support of tyranny, brutality and the murder of innocents.

Why are we in Syria again?
Oh yeah, Obama and McCain wanted to kick off war with Russia over Syria for some idiotic reason.
Reminds me of Wesley “fire on the Russians at Pristina” Clark.

suicide drone strike

Since drones are unmanned, are they implying that the drone committed suicide? Because the targets can't be stated as committing suicide. So, why is the word suicide even in the headline? So, ridiculous.
