Various reports (largely ignored by the western wartime media) state that the US military’s Conoco oil base in Syria was just targeted by either a rocket attack or drone strike, reports are still coming in.
The US military is present in Manbij and al Tanf, Syria – both terrorist strongholds where the US military harbors the terrorists. The US “ally” Saudi Arabia – and Turkey – both arm and support terrorist militias in Idlib province, for example, as sponsored by the former United States.
The Executive order mandating the Syrian and Iraqi bases relates to Executive Order 13303, an edict by George W Bush who authorized the invasion and occupation of Iraq to protect Israel. The United States still occupies Iraq today. Executive Order 13303 and the “State of Emergency” authoritarian rule (since September 14, 2001 and renewed every year since and which has rendered the US to be an undemocratic authoritarian state was recently renewed by Biden in May of 2024.
There are two purposes for the US bases in Syria. One purpose is to protect the Deir Ezzor oil fields where the US still transports oil from, now called Conoco base. The other purpose is to prevent Iraqi PMC’s from transiting Syria to engage in the defense of southern Lebanon versus Israeli aggression.
Other reports (also largely ignored by the western wartime media) state that the Al Bukamal crossing on the Iraq-Syria border is controlled by the US military from al Tanf base and has been under attack. Al Bukamal is an important transport and crossing point for freedom fighters entering Syria, to confront the deadly Tel Aviv terror regime politically dominated by the US-backed Otzma Yehuditim.
Meanwhile, western war media reports allege that Hezbollah has been decapitated and defeated, which is a fundamental misunderstanding perpetrated by Neocon propaganda media outlets, financed by Wall Street, and which westerners appear to blindly accept.
To the contrary, it is the military of “Israel” that is unprepared and intimidated by Kataeb Hezbollah. Zionist troops live in fear of the northern blue line. The JTF (Jewish Task Force) can only operate by trickery, deception, and subterfuge, while hiding behind the power of US weaponry. JTF forces are afraid and unable to invade Southern Lebanon, from which Lebanese defense forces will not be displaced. Even so the Otzma Yehuditim who operate Israel’s war machine will willingly sentence their cowed troops to death in the name of their religious fervour.
Now, the western war media touts that Kataeb Hezbollah is done. But the facts on the ground prove otherwise. A resolute military defense presence exists in Southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley — descendants of the people who have lived there for nine hundred years. Despite MSM war media reports, Hezbollah is not going anywhere. The defenders there will not be displaced or leave their homeland. Indeed, the existing power vacuum in Washington — where US State is mired in fantasy and delusion, cannot fantasize Kataeb Hezbollah out of existence, and only invite this conflict.
This Middle East war has been sought by Israel and by its United States lackey with gusto for many decades — not by Hezbollah or its allies. For example US federal operative John Bolton has brayed for the attack, invasion, destabilization, and occupation of Iran for many years (by extension).* But bowing to and arming a perverse, brutal, and murderous Genocidal “State” is not what “America” is supposed to be about, is it John?
As such, will Lebanon be the keystone removed by the Neocons to finally crumble the west’s entire rotten edifice? The west has exhorted for and sponsored war, death, and horror in central and west Asia for many years – even long before the reign of Zbigniew Brzezinski in Washington…
So..
“Bring ’em on..”
*Many people of southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley are of the same lineage as the people of Iran.
