Biden orders wave of airstrikes on Iranian facilities in Syria linked to dozens of attacks on US forces after Hamas atrocities in Israel - in a significant escalation of violence in the region
2023-11-13
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Biden ordered airstrikes against two facilities in Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards on Sunday.

The strikes, carried out by Air Force F-15E fighter jets are the latest retaliatory attacks for the daily barrage of rocket hits on US forces in Iraq and Syria.

The US jets hit structures in Abu Kamal and a safe house in Mayadin - used for weapons and ammunition storage and command and control HQs.

The attacks come four days after US warplanes hit a munitions depot in eastern Syria and the same day five US Army soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash in the Mediterranean Sea.

Two weeks ago, two Iranian-controlled sites in similar locations were hit by U.S. airstrikes in retaliation for a flurry of attacks against U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq.

On Saturday, Pentagon officials told DailyMail.com that 'multiple one-way drones' were launched in the morning against US and coalition forces stationed at Rumalyn Landing Zone in northern Syria.

#9  Why are we anywhere other than just in the CONUS right now?

Right now we have a DOD in desperate need of even basic manpower.

Manpower hampered by the push for the NEW NORMAL ideology in the Military. An ideology, which does not attract real Ground Pounders Soldiers and Warriors.

#7  A new, easily expanded ME war is urgently needed.

Under the guise of Chinese protectionism I project the US to move into the South Pacific island mass of Indonesia.

Long logistics, 'primitive' dependent muslim cultures with few natural resources.

#2  Conflicts in Eastern Europe have reached a stalemate. Where can it go from here? Operation Operation Barbarossa-II? Quite doubtful.

New enemies must be found. A new, easily expanded ME war is urgently needed.
