    normally the outgoing president loves America enough to not do damage and instead help in a transition.

    US carries out air strikes in Syria targeting Iranian backed militia structures

    (CNN)The US military struck a site in Syria on Thursday used by two Iranian-backed militia groups following rocket attacks on American forces in the region in the past two weeks, according to a US official.

    The strikes mark the military's first known action under President Joe Biden. The site was not specifically tied to the rocket attacks, but were believed to be used by Iranian-backed Shia militias operating in the region.

    Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that the strikes took place "at President Biden's direction" and were authorized not just to respond to recent attacks against American and coalition forces, but to deal with "ongoing threats to those personnel."
    Kirby said that Biden conducted the strikes after consulting with US allies, including coalition partners.

    "Specifically the strikes destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian backed militant groups including Kait'ib Hezbollah and Kait'ib Sayyid al Shuhada," Kirbry said. "The operation sends an unambiguous message; President Biden will act to protect American coalition personnel. At the same time, we have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to deescalate the overall situation in both Eastern Syria and Iraq."

    The site is believed to be used as part of a weapons smuggling operation by the militias. The strikes were carried out to degrade the ability of the groups to carry out future attacks and to send a message about the recent attacks, the US official said.

    The decision to target the site in Syria was made from the "top down," a defense official said, and was not because of a specific recommendation from the military.

    Surely there would be no outrage from whitey righty if our contractors and Kurdish allies were bombed and we did nothing in response.

    Nope. Rather we not be involved at all. Neolibs and neocons enjoy the dronings. Obama killed 3800 people via drone including 350 civilians. Biden is doing the Antichrist’s work.
