Another "self-defense" strike by the invaders and occupiers.

Right. Note that down so other countries can do the same.

Iran isn't supposed to have terrorist forces in Syria, either. If the Syrian government wants regular forces from Iran they should do it above board.

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.

WHAT?

Reality is that US troops are to steal gas and oil from Syria.

A common canard but you know it is the SDF that pumps the oil and even sells it back to Assad.

Theye are not invited by syrian president or government.In other words-they are in role of occupying forces and thieves.

GET OUT of Syria.

No I think we will stay. Particularly because it enrages the Rashist.

That means other people can stay in Eastern regions of certain countries at the invitation and of locals under the guise of protecting them. Let's apply the same standard.

In Syria? Are US forces there with the blessing of the Syrian government? Are US forces there based on a UN resolution?

"The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests,"

No and no. It is an illegal presence and if not then it must be perfectly legal elsewhere otherwise that would be a double standard.

Alright good going you are taking great measures to "stabilize the region" and ensure "peaceful democracy" igniting even more conflict on the tinderbox situation which has resulted from your illegal invasion of Iraq

If Russia is actually able to turn Ukraine into a lawless state, sure. Unfortunately Russia will collapse long before that.

The US is doing more to stabilize the region than proxy fighter and terrorist supporting Iran.

" The US is doing more to stabilize the region than...."

Quite amusing since the US has done more to destabilize places all over the world than pretty much any other country in history. Decades ago US was inspirational to many , unfortunately now it is just another empire bent on dominating others. Of course you knew that already.

The western hemisphere is largely free of communism thanks to our efforts. Your hero Russia will forever be a thug and a thief, though. Of course you knew that already.

Biden reinstalled troups in Irak as soon as he was in power ? Islam were against starting a war down there. Macron said this wasn’t International but it is. And Syria is protected by Russia, so USA is attacking Russia’s space directly against all international agreement ? What Biden is doing down there ?

Trump have some default, but contrary what you think, he is a good leader. When you have economic anticipation plans, his answers fit right down the T. He is fast and reactive. He knows what to do to protect USA’s economy the best. And most of all, he hates wars. People vote for Trump because he is a professional world leader. This is a scientist in ruling. Biden just do political wars to finance military power all over the world and this is how they end up in a direct war against Iran and Russia to save Israel. But Israel went too far this time for the last time.

Middle East crave peace and Israel offer no hope for peace. It is a bit complicated but somebody create the anarchy on site and Tsahal just plead guilty proudly. This is why all Islam will united slowly against Israel. It may take a little time to ponder what happened in the light of what we uncovered in Ukraine, but they have no choice but to get ride of Israel now. That’s their only way out : full blown war. We can win a few years but a final decolonisation war of Islam from occidentals influence is coming hard because now we have the proof they are a colonisation very active power.

How many Syrians does Assad need to kill before the pro-Assad people finally agree he's a mass murderer? The Syrian people wanted Assad to leave. He refused. Allowing Iran to store weapons that will be used against Muslims, Christians and Jews in the region - purely based on religious beliefs is anther problem.

The US doesn't get any oil from Syria.

“Syrian oil is for the Syrian people. The United States does not own, control or manage any of those resources, nor do we wish to,”

Less disinformation, please.
