Traitor Joe did nothing about an Iranian attack in October. If it’s worth sending men in harm’s way then it’s worth letting them defend themselves against attacks. Enemies like Iran will always probe for weakness and follow up with more if it finds any openings.

Praying our troops had another heads up from the Israelis so no one is harmed.

To the Biden administration will handle any attack on a base or base where US troops the same way smash and grab looters will be handled.

Most likely another Iranian drone attack. Casualties were avoided in the last Iranian attack by a timely notice from Mossad. Same with the large Iranian IRBM attack on a US base early last year.

However, the Brandon Tyranny has blacklisted several Israeli intelligence companies since then. Since the Israels do not want to harm American interests, they have chosen to no longer pass on their intel.

The Israelis will wait until the US decides to answer the phone again.

So expect US casualties.

Why? Protecting Israel and Jordan.

Probably mostly CIA.

> And why are we still in Syria? <

In many respects we are like the Roman and then the British Empires. We have found reasons to be in everyone’s business, everywhere.

And that’s one reason empires collapse.

Be kinda weird to retaliate because someone shot at your drone that was deep in their territory. I’d think with drones They just shrug and get the next one ready.

On second thought: [ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Al Qaeda commander was killed in a US attack in northwest Syria Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.SOHR sources reported that the International Coalition against ISIS targeted an unidentified man on the road to al-Mastuma in Idlib countryside with three missiles, killing him immediately.

In case anyone hasn’t been following the war in Syria since 2012, Al Tanf is where the US trains terrorists towards the US goal of overthrowing the legitimate government of sovereign secular Syria.

We have no moral standing in Syria. We steal their oil, finance terrorism, have burned their wheat fields, and US-AID has brought in soft wheat seed contaminated with nematodes, and stem rust disease.

FWIW, Syria was a wheat exporting country prior to our efforts to destroy their Country. Their hard wheat, was non GMO, drought tolerant, and the US has made efforts to destroy their seed banks.

We are not a force for good in Syria.
