things like this serve to convince those who still have control of their own mind that the 'rules based' empire is full of previously enjoyed food. if you are on the ground of another country, you don't get to ignore the results when they object;

Why does ZH play along with their narrative that everyone the U.S. doesn’t like is Iran linked? Looking at the map, WTF is Regime-Held Syria? Assad has been the head of Syria since 2000, taking over from his father, who ran the country since 1971. There is no such thing as regime held Syria. The U.S. and their vassal states invaded Syria and continue to cause trouble in Syria.

It sure looks like Area 55 is nothing more than the U.S. illegally occupying territory in Syria. Syria has the right to attack invaders. Looks like the U.S. invaders just fucked around and found out. Biden dummy now threatening whoever we choose to blame. This is tiresome. No troops occupying foreign countries, no deaths or casualties. Get the fuck out of the Middle East – NOW.

Update(1452ET): It took a mere minutes after the headlines spread across the globe for the hawks and neocons to call on the White House to “hit them hard”—in reference to Iran and Iranian-linked groups believed responsible for the attack on a US outpost along the Jordanian border which killed three American troops and injured 25 more.

The government of Jordan has since said that none among their own troops were injured, which suggests all of the injured were Americans too. Below is a partial survey of the Congressional hawks who are now essentially calling for full-blown war against Iran and its proxies [emphasis ZH]…

“The only answer to these attacks must be a devastating military retaliation against Iran’s terrorist forces, both in Iran and across the Middle East. Anything less will confirm Joe Biden as a coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief.'” —Republican Senator, Tom Cotton of Arkansas

“The Biden Administration can take out all the Iranian proxies they like, but it will not deter Iranian aggression. I am calling on the Biden Administration to strike targets of significance inside Iran, not only as reprisal for the killing of our forces, but as deterrence against future aggression… Hit Iran hard, hit them now.” —South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham

“Target Tehran” —Republican Senator from Texas John Cornyn.........more.....
