Some of the reports coming from the Kharab al-Jir Base in Northeastern Syria are concerning to say the least, though nothing besides an Attack having occurred is confirmed yet.

The Washington nose-pickers will let this pass when we could destroy Iran’s ability to export oil in an hour or less.

They prevent a set of pipelines planned to transit oil and gas between Syria, Iran, onward to Russia, China, belts and roads initative. We are preventing the Assad regime from exporting its own oil. We marked Syria for regime change and keep the country in a constant state of civil war, which is coming to an end.

Turkey too was doing their own thing in Syria but recent reports suggest Turkish normalization of relations with Assad... bad for NATO, USA.

I expect the US will leave Syria. We were not invited, we did the old Vietnam Loa$/Cambodia cross border war trick. Russia is the partner country to Syria, hence their conflict will Israel.

We are there to counter Russia because of Iraq. We are still not willing to accept Syrian borders or Assad.

Sources are reporting that the One-Way Attack Drones which Struck the U.S. Base at Kharab al-Jir Airport in Northeastern Syria were launched by Iranian-Backed Forces over the Border in Iraq, with at least Two Drones being Downed by Air Defenses at the Base.

I read a few days ago that Syria produces 80,000 barrels of oil a day and the US steals 66,000 barrels of it. Quite a few YT videos about all of that. We also steal their food, like wheat.

Apparently pro Syrian militias are trying to get their oil fields back from the US.

Not a whole lot of details in the video though, but at least they mention the reason for the attacks.
