US Bombs Syria in Revenge for Syria Allegedly Attacking US Troops Illegally Occupying Syria

You know Brandon, if there weren’t any US troops in Syria, Syria couldn’t attack US troops.

Why are there US troops in Syria?

And how can you denounce people for attacking you when you’re occupying their country?

CNN:

The US carried out additional airstrikes targeting enemy positions and rocket launchers near Deir ez-Zor in northeast Syria following a rocket attack on coalition bases in the region that injured three US troops on Wednesday, according to a US official.

A number of enemy fighters were killed in the strikes, which was launched from an AC-130 gunship, the official said.

The US launched the latest strikes overnight in response to a rocket attack against two coalition bases housing US troops in Syria in which three US service members suffered minor injuries. In the initial response to the rocket attack on Wednesday, US attack helicopters destroyed three vehicles and the rocket launchers used to carry out the attack, US Central Command said in a statement. Two or three Iranian-backed militants were also killed in the helicopter strike, according to an initial assessment.

In the latest series of retaliatory strikes, four Iranian-affiliated militants were killed and seven rocket launchers were destroyed, the US said. The military carried out the strikes with AC-140 gunships, Apache attack helicopters, and M777 howitzers, US Central Command said in a statement.

We will respond appropriately and proportionally to attacks on our servicemembers,” Michael “Erik” Kurilla, commander of US Central Command, said in the statement. “No group will strike at our troops with impunity. We will take all necessary measures to defend our people.”

I don’t think it is possible to “retaliate” against someone who attacked you because you were occupying their country. They would be the ones retaliating against you, by definition. Syria has never invaded America, so occupying Syria was necessarily the initial act of aggression.

Also, the word “impunity” does not seem remotely appropriate.

The Syrians are already being punished with a violent and outrageous occupation by the United States military. Imagine if a guy broke into your house and then decided to live in your spare bedroom and whenever you told him to leave he attacked you and started talking about impunity.

That said, I don’t really believe that the Syrian military attacked US troops. If the attack happened at all, it was almost certainly done by US-trained terrorists still roving around the country.

The only reason that the US troops are there is so they can be attacked and then the US government can say

The US government is attempting to start wars with basically everyone at this point. They started a war with Russia, which they are badly losing. Then Nancy Pelosi invaded China. There is a lot of stuff going on related to Iran right now.

It’s just wild – destroy your own population, bankrupt your own country, then start attacking every other country.

That’s the Jews for ya!
