this caitlin essay is along the lines of questioning the eternal american question: what is our oil doing under their ground, or, we get to do whatever we choose and you have no recourse;
Every US military fatality in the middle east is the fault of the US government for putting them there.
Well, it finally happened. The scores of attacks on US troops in the middle east in response to Israel’s US-backed atrocities in Gaza have resulted in American deaths, just as critics of US foreign policy have been saying would happen for months. At least now we can stop bracing for it, I guess.
Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp, among those who have long warned of this eventuality, writes the following:
“Three US troops were killed by an overnight drone attack in northeastern Jordan, the first Americans to die by enemy fire in the region since President Biden threw the US’s weight behind the Israeli onslaught in Gaza.
“According to CNN, one-way attack drones hit Tower 22, a small US outpost in Jordan near the Syrian border. Over 30 troops were also wounded in the attack.
“Since mid-October, US bases in Iraq and Syria have come under attack over 150 times in response to US support for the Israeli slaughter in Gaza. The overnight drone attack in Jordan appears to be the first time Tower 22 was targeted.”..........more........
there are things that are real but you'll never hear if your info source is 'our free press';
You can't have a "representative democracy" and also have lobbying, which is pure bribery. Especially lobbying by foreign hostile nations that do things like blow up USS Liberty, kill JFK, do 9/11, and do COVID-19. Left and Right must unite, mass peaceful protest to abolish all forms of lobbying now
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]…
