BREAKING: Turkish-backed jihadists are attacking the largest coalition military base in Syria w/ US troops inside!!!

the best option is just to raise the white flag and pray those West supported FSA "moderate anti-Assad rebels" will show mercy ...

Are you sure you are Finnish and not French?

:France:

That is some heart breaking shit right there!

Just read an article stating that there is now belief the earlier shelling of US forces on October 11th was INTENTIONAL by the Turks.


Turkey’s artillery strikes on US forces were deliberate, current & former US officials say
October 15, 2019

Key Points -

Former U.S. Army Europe commander retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling doesn’t buy Turkey’s defense.

On Saturday, he tweeted, “Turkey knows all US locations by grid coordinates. These are placed in artillery fire control computers as “no fire areas” or NFAs. Either TU artillery soldiers were incompetent, or this was a purposeful act to send a message to US and SDF/Kurds. Turkey fired on a NATO ally.”

Current and former military service members who spoke to Military Times over the weekend said they don’t believe that Turkey could’ve inadvertently fired artillery on U.S. forces.

One senior enlisted artillery soldier told Military Times anonymously that NFA’s would’ve been clearly marked before firing, “especially when firing in an area with high chance collateral damage.”

If the Turks are shelling US positions again, its time to Fire Back!!!!

The Alamo ---> fight to the very last man.

It'll be memory holed just like the Saudis have done with the Iranian attack on Aramco, pretend it didn't happen so the problem goes away.

Me thinks they cover it up because if true it would escalate into large conflict.

If this is true, Turkey is making a grave mistake. Now I wait to see the US response.

Iraq-Bound Troops Confront Rumsfeld Over Lack of Armor


CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait, Dec. 8 - In an extraordinary exchange at this remote desert camp, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld found himself on the defensive today, fielding pointed questions from Iraq-bound troops who complained that they were being sent into combat with insufficient protection and aging equipment.

---
A few minutes later, a soldier from the Idaho National Guard's 116th Armor Cavalry Brigade asked Mr. Rumsfeld what he and the Army were doing "to address shortages and antiquated equipment" National Guard soldiers heading to Iraq were struggling with.

Mr. Rumsfeld seemed taken aback by the question and a murmur began spreading through the ranks before he silenced them. "Now settle down, settle down," he said. "Hell, I'm an old man, it's early in the morning and I'm gathering my thoughts here."
----
Nonetheless, he warned that equipment shortages would probably continue to bedevil some American forces entering combat zones like Iraq. "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time," Mr. Rumsfeld said.

There will be no response. Don't y'all get it? No doom will happen. Nothing. Absolutely nothing

the Samolians dragged our guy behind a pick-up truck, and we did nothing.

That's one possibility, depends on the US casualties if any. Basically, all we can do is read the info and not much else but speculate.

Although I hate to agree, you are right.

Fucking sad times we live in, absolutely pussified (oh wait I forgot, we'll use big bad sanctions.....)

REALLY BIG SANSCTIONS THAT ELL SHOW EM.

Americans who are so enthusiastic to fight Turkey have lost their minds.

Remember that Turkey is 2ND most powerful NATO member state with 900k standing army officials, numerous rockets, planes, tanks...

It would result in millions of dead Americans if anything something like that happened.

Turkey isn't Libya or Iraq.

Yep, most likely the response. Not that the US can't react to this event with air support. I hope they do.

come on, Turkey is a geopolitically essential ally (access to Black Sea) and the US troops are needed to man and operate the Saudi air defence systems around the oil fields against the Yemeni Houthi freedom fighters' drones, because Saudis find it too tiresome to do it themselves ...

You are seriously the dumbest person in this thread lmfao maybe the entire site

?

Trumo could moon them.

Doesnt matter this makes us look weak. Turkeys sending a message that you can shell us forces and we will retreat.

Ever heard of friendly fire?

No it won't you jackass. Trump is not the POTUS that put us in that situation. Your brain works backwards.

Face it, the only competent world leader is Putin.

Not your military they are Corporate owned Warfighters, CACI Raytheon etc call the shots

This is Trumps Benghazi moment, bluster does nothing.

Genius we can carpet bomb turkey and say it was an accident lol.

Always think twice before you post!
