If we weren’t in Syria, we wouldn’t have to worry about it, now would we?

What exactly do we hope to accomplish by staying in the middle east?

Remain cannon fodder? Spend more trillions? Make certain all the middle east hates us and then we give them papers to enter the US?

Okay we have accomplished all the aforementioned can we come home now.........

Gotta protect the flow of oil...

But oil is bad now, right?

So, why are we there again?

Well, there is this thing called the MIC and it needs to be fed... You think Ukraine is enough to sustain it?

On the contrary

US retaliates with airstrikes in Syria after Iranian drone strike kills US contractor

quote:

The U.S. military carried out several precision airstrikes in Syria on Thursday, reportedly killing eight Iranians, in retaliation for a drone strike Iranian forces conducted earlier in the day on a coalition base that killed one American.

Was the drone flown by a White Suprmeacist? They are the single greatest threat to our Demockracy

This is a situation where massive retaliation should be the flavor of the day. Hitting a wearhouse within Syria doesn't hurt Iran - destroy something of value within their country might deliver the appropriate message.
