A US military base near a gas field in Syria was hit by a missile attack

Today, another US Army base in the Middle East has become the target of a missile attack from radical organizations. This was reported by local sources familiar with the information.

We are talking about a US Army base located in Syria, in the area of ​​the Koniko gas field, which is located in the province of Deir ez-Zor in the east of the country. As is known, American troops, illegally staying in Syria, took control of oil and gas fields and are actually openly engaged in the theft of national natural resources.

This is not the first time that the base in Koniko has been attacked by radical groups. Thus, a US military facility was directly attacked by a missile on December 31, 2023. Prior to this, the American army base was attacked in October 2023.

Earlier, the press secretary of the US Department of Defense, Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, named the exact number of attacks and shelling of American military bases in Syria and Iraq since October 2023, that is, after the start of the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip and the escalation of the military-political situation in the Middle East.

According to a Pentagon spokesman, American military targets were fired at 130 times. The United States believes that radical Shiite armed groups operating in Syria and Iraq and closely associated with Iran are responsible for these attacks.

Now we should expect a new series of attacks on American military targets, since on the night of January 12 the American and British aviation attacked targets in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.

Oh, the Arabs will tear the Shtatians apart. They, of course, cannot defeat them, but they can easily tear them apart and force them to spend huge amounts of money searching for small and very mobile groups, while wasting a lot of expensive supplies. Yes, they have already done this and continue to do so. Of course, I don’t consider them decent people, but the phrase attributed to Roosevelt is very suitable: “Yes, he is a son of a bitch, but he is our son of a bitch.”

What a laugh it will be if the bearded men in flip-flops also drive the Yankees out of here!..

Something is not going well with the “most powerful” and most expensive army in the world. No matter what they undertake, traditionally “at a certain moment something went wrong.” Apart from the capture of Grenada, then since 1945 nothing has worked out militarily, just chaos and devastation.
It worked out in 1945 precisely because the Soviet Union was an ally. If it weren’t for us, Britain would simply cease to exist, and America would still be at war with the Japanese in the Pacific. We will not consider F. Dick's version ("The Man in the High Castle"), although it also has a place as SF. And after 1945, wasn’t it because everything went wrong because the Russians became enemies? If I were the Americans, I would look for the reason for the regular incontinence of the stinking masses.

They won’t be able to kick them out, but they can force them to leave only through joint efforts on all fronts, including the outskirts, Iraqi, Syrian, and Israeli. Eventually, the time may come when states will have to choose priorities. And where there are more resources/more profitable, they will cling with their claws, and the rest will not be lucky.

Afghanistan has no less natural resources than Syria, but it’s just more difficult to take. In the Middle East, if you stuck a stick in the ground, you got an oil well. I poured a barrel of oil on the sand - here is an asphalt platform for the pump.
Afghanistan has everything except roads, water and electricity. My mother still has a small emerald - I bought it as a gift for her in Dukan for the price of a pack of cigarettes. You just need to poke the GOKs there - you can’t do that with slippers and donkeys.
And the geopolitical interest is enormous. If only there were a “normal” government, a “democratic” one, like in Europe, what if they put some missiles there and “you know where” to aim them!...
So the priorities were in place.
But it didn’t work out - the bearded men in fur coats kicked me out. Who would have thought thirty years ago?

I’m not saying that the bearded ones will give America the Battle of Kulikovo and drive American troops from all over the world into Alabama. It’s just that quantity sooner or later turns into quality. Here, there, here... Little by little, a mosquito bite - and in the end a swollen and combed face. And I haven’t said anything about the taiga midge yet...

Afghanistan has absolutely no infrastructure, and without this, the development of their resources is impossible. It is necessary to build railway tracks across the highlands, lay normal roads, build power plants and power lines, and make more or less decent villages for workers. In general, ensure the uninterrupted operation of labor resources, delivery of materials and export of products. This is incredibly expensive, especially since there is no state stability and at any moment, absolutely unpredictable, some Mujahideen from many tribes can undermine something.

The guys in pakoli evicted the imperialist-colonialists from their mountains. They failed to introduce socialism there. Things haven't gone well with democracy either.

It seems to me that they will live in a tribal system until the end of time. The way they lived before Alexander the Great and the way they live now, after all the experiments on them.
This is what we need to proceed from. Can we somehow talk and negotiate with princes and sultans? Well, it will work out with local bays too. Moreover, there are positive experiences.
And they will somehow deal with small gangs themselves. Their administrative methods are monotonous, but very effective - they cut quickly and accurately.

Greetings, Igor.
For Americans, Russians have always been enemies. And under the king too. Temporary cooperation 41-45 is purely forced.
But it doesn’t work out because in the 60s a conscious reformatting of consciousness began.
Beatles, hippies, these are stages. What exactly the American elite wanted is not completely clear. But something else is clear - their strategic miscalculation in overestimating the technical component and underestimating the human factor.
A soldier in Normandy and a soldier in Vietnam are already different people. And then the difference between grandfathers, fathers, and grandchildren only increases.

I didn’t see Vietnam, but I saw American special forces of the late 80s and early 90s live. If for me and my son our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers are our root, a place of strength, then in America there is no such thing. If they are proud of anything, it is that some of their ancestors drove the Indians across the prairie.
I understand that it’s easy to accuse me of throwing hats, but they are NOT FIGHTERS. We are used to fighting until the enemy is destroyed, that’s what we were taught. And they are like boys in the yard - until the first blood. And they are also used to fighting according to some of their own rules - they can do anything, and their opponent must stand like Dr. Watson in a stance. And when they themselves get it in the liver, they sit on the ground with round eyes and only swallow air with their mouths - great amazement and indignation that they were treated “not according to the rules.”

[Aken]

Strictly speaking, there are cool guys in every country. Even in Italy they were periodically discovered.
But special forces, with all due respect, do not win wars. Infantry is needed. Ready to die for the Motherland. Moreover, this should be the majority of the army.
And if from childhood a person is taught that he himself is incredibly valuable, unique and inimitable, he is no protector. But he's a great robber.

what is the result? Did 4 Yankees shit themselves and 18 get scared? or didn't hit at all?

Only mattresses can provide this information. Considering that the base was hit only today, no one here will tell you the answers to your questions.

[isv000]

They shoot on purpose just to avoid getting hit?! What is this fart for? They would have hit them all at once, so that the feathers would fly away from the Yankees, so that they would feel the beginning of the end, and so...

New details regarding the "democratic coalition" missile strike on Yemen: It is curious that, based on data from Yemen and the United States, at least 27 American missiles malfunctioned and either deviated greatly from their targets or simply fell into the water. Let me remind you - there were 73 missiles.

[KTM-5]

Why not supply the Houthis with, say, Iskander or Bastion? We are not participants in the conflict, we are just helping))

[bone1]

It’s strange that ours and the Syrians allow the Yankees to have bases there
