Four US soldiers were reported to have sustained minor injuries Thursday from “indirect fire” in eastern Syria. The four were evacuated for further evaluation and to see if they suffered brain injuries.
The attack hit the tiny “Green Village” base near the Omar oilfield. A pair of rockets hit two support buildings on the base. It’s not clear if this was a deliberate attack, or incidental rocket fire from something else going on in the area.
This was the first time the Green Village was hit by rocket fire since January. The tiny base was meant to allow the US to maintain control over the oil in the area. It is so small it rarely comes up as an issue, though in practice it would be difficult to defend if it came under sustained attack.
It’s unclear who fired the rockets, though in this part of Syria there are a few possibilities. The US tends to blame Iran for such incidents, though two stray rockets hitting support buildings hardly speaks to an attempted attack.
Oh that’s right, people forgot about the four thousand troops stationed in the snake pit.
I wonder if the Syrians are going to be receiving some more effective weapons, given the situation in Ukraine.
Do you mean Assad or the rebels?
Another example how the US respects the sovereignty of other countries. Nothing to see here. Not an invasion. Self defense.
A pity they didn’t hit a Russian base instead.
Why would they target allies piglet?
Because most vodka consuming individuals here believe it was a Ukrainian rocket, sheep.
We’re talking about Syria piglet. No Ukrainian rockets in Syria. Jesus, you’ve become such a troll you can’t even keep up to which country you’re commenting on.
Thank you for making my day….
Silence, sheep.
When will the leadership in the Kremlin decide that enough is enough, and that it’s time to permanently move Putin to a secluded healthcare facility in eastern Siberia?
