The United States has 900 troops in Syria, and 2,500 more in neighboring Iraq, on a mission to advise and assist local forces trying to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State, which in 2014 seized large swathes of both countries but was later defeated.
There is growing concern that the Israel-Hamas conflict could spread through the Middle East and turn U.S. troops at isolated bases into targets.
Earlier on Wednesday, a U.S. MQ-9 drone was shot down near Yemen by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement over the Red Sea.
Officials said the drone was believed to be in international waters when it was shot down.
The United States has sent warships and fighter aircraft to the region since the Israel-Hamas conflict erupted on Oct. 7, including two aircraft carriers, to try to deter Iran and Iran-backed groups. The number of troops added to the region is in the thousands.

It doesn’t matter that what you believe is a lie. It matters that you believe it. This is done to get you to react in a certain way.
The old term used for the people behind this is con artist. But the reality is that the art is so much more than saying something in order to make someone believe it. The art comes from building the real-life perceptions around the lie to make it more believable.
What can be faked will be faked. What can be made into illusion will be done.
There is no reaction from the black leaders (self-proclaimed or otherwise) to the killing of 3 black troops and injuring of a few dozen.
The base in question strides over the territories of Jordan and Syria, and the actual drone or whatever hit the Syrian portion. Furthermore, it is too powerful to be a drone according to military experts.
Israeli / Zionist false flag written all over the place.
Remember USS Liberty?
Is it an act of hatred if I point these facts out? Some moron seems to think that way.

Republicans accused Biden of letting American forces become sitting ducks, waiting for the day when a drone or missile would evade base defenses. They say that day came on Sunday, when a single one-way attack drone struck near base barracks early in the morning. In response, they say Biden must strike Iran.
