US base in Syria attacked by Iranian proxy forces after retaliatory airstrikes

Iran proxy forces fired about seven rockets at a U.S. base in Northeast Syria on Friday in retaliation to President Biden ordering a series of strikes after a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded six other Americans, a defense official told Fox News.

This could get interesting.

 

[winjer]

Iran is about to get a dose of "freedom".

 

[feynoob]

Wtf, can't we simply get a peace for one second

 

[ParaSeoul]

Better drone strike a hospital,that'll show em.

This is a joke by the way.

 

[DeepEnigma]

War games.

Dictatorships want to rule the world

 

[Liljagare]

Oh my, hope this doesn't escalate..

 

[swaffles23]

Shouldn't even be a US base in Syria

 

[AlteredForms]

This can't end well for Iran, especially with the firepower the US has. Shame really, Syria was a beautiful country in the past, now it's ravaged by war and destruction.

 

[Husky]

This feels weird. Don't they know the US can hit a lot harder than they can? What are they thinking? Are they hoping the US doesn't want to escalate, or do they want an escalation?

The US and the current leadership will not do much. They are weak and have made the world weaker in the long run. Russia and china are working together a nightmare scenario for western powers. Iran is emboldened by our current military and the weakenss we portray on the world stage showing more concern over social issues than military strength. Also recruitment and soldiers are way down due to covid vax requirements in the military.

[GeekyDad]

Which oil company paid to stage it this time?

But sure, makes financial sense.

 

[GymWolf]

Iran is about to get a dose of "freedom".

Iran about to find out why the US doesn't have free healthcare.

 

[Wildebeest]

I thought it was a fishy story, so I checked another report.

US troops have come under attack by Iranian-backed groups about 78 times since the beginning of 2021, according to the US military.

 

[Unknown?]

Wtf, can't we simply get a peace for one second

We will once the fraudulent ponzi scheme we call "Money" runs out. Until they invent new "money."

 

[TransTrender]

Everyone is an asshole.
USA keep shooting.

 

[Flash Junkins]

I thought it was a fishy story, so I checked another report.

Fishy story? How many have been tracked to Iran? Exactly.

I feel Russia, China, NK, and Iran are working towards an engagement. They all have economies in the dumps. This makes them extra dangerous right now.

But yeah, good call, fishy story.

 

[Wildebeest]

Fishy story?

Yes because it makes it seems like these groups attacked US forces out of the blue and this is a shocking new development when it is attack number 79. You have people here reacting as if this was Pearl Harbor or 9/11 because of how the story is written.

I literally posted what fox said. But you can put your own up if you have something. I'm simply saying this one is different.

Thinking is not something they hold in high value

The sooner folks realize the DEFAULT state of mankind is constant warfare and the ONLY times it isn't is when there is a single big bad mofo holding a knife to everyone else's throat the sooner we will realize that it's better to have a relatively benevolent mofo like the US (or Rome, or Persia, or etc etc) holding that knife than a FAR more belligerent one.

I also feel like any country that DOES NOT have energy independence as the TOP PRIORITY is gonna be sucking wind HARD in the next few years. Be it nuclear, natgas, oil, coal, wind, solar, or millions on bicycles, if you can't run your grid yourself you are the total mercy of the big bad mofos that can.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Isn't it great that we're literally just living our lives, minding our own business, and small groups of people who are (supposed to be) representative of Us and our best interests just decide "You know, let's blow some shit up," seemingly oblivious or apathetic to the fact that the butterfly effect is a real, demonstrable phenomenon and I don't want to get drafted into the third civilian militia when Sleepy Joe decides to Wild West one too many of these balloons and the full might (lol) of the Middle East is marching through Pittsburgh doing flash-rennovations to the architecture.

But you know, whatever.

This is full on wacko bingo right here. Didn't mention BLM or CRT or trans people but you've probably covered that under "social issues".

It’s also been ravaged by US interference and sanctions.

Please. A certain clown and his party are campaigning on deducing the support Ukraine receives to 'give it to Americans '

Also what is Iran thinking? Israeli lobbyist literally lobby the US government everyday to invade Iran. The neocons in the republican party are obsessed with invading iran . There's a huge part of the us government itching to fuck Iran up.

Other than possessing nukes, Russia has exposed themselves as a shit, deprecated army with no functional abilities or any high-quality training for this personnel.
USA can most likely whoop their asses pretty easily if Russia is struggling against Ukraine.
China is something else though, I believe they have an army rivaling the USA but I don't think they're going for any evil team-up to do anything particular, just because the status quo is convenient for everyone in the world.

They don’t. Not yet. But they’re getting there. There’s a reason the CHIPS Act was pushed heavily. It’s an effort to slow them down.

Agreed. Logistics alone say they don't.

Here's the expected reaction;

Republicans blast Biden response to American death in Syria as 'weak,' 'indefensible'

Republican lawmakers slammed President Joe Biden for his response to the death of an American in Syria, arguing he's showing weakness and failing to deter America's adversaries.
