Biden continues the illegal, offensive war in Syria. We've been there forever.

John Kirby, the Pentagon's chief spokesman, said the facilities, at "entry control points" on the border, had been used by militia groups the U.S. deems responsible for a number of recent attacks against U.S. interests in Iraq.
"U.S. interests in Iraq" are oil fields and military bases.
Biden's decision to attack in Syria did not appear to signal an intention to widen U.S. military involvement in the region but rather to demonstrate a will to defend U.S. troops in Iraq and send a message to Iran.
Message received: The US will not be leaving the Middle East.
Defense Secretary Austin said he was "confident" the U.S. had hit back at the "the same Shia militants that conducted the strikes," referring to a Feb. 15 rocket attack in northern Iraq that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a U.S. service member and other coalition personnel.
This would not happen if the US were not in Syria or Iraq. We go there and overthrow their government, and then act all indignant when they retaliate. We are occupying a sovereign nation that did not attack us.
Mary Ellen O'Connell, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, criticized the U.S. attack as a violation of international law.
"The United Nations Charter makes absolutely clear that the use of military force on the territory of a foreign sovereign state is lawful only in response to an armed attack on the defending state for which the target state is responsible," she said. "None of those elements is met in the Syria strike."
This is not Syria claiming this attach is against international law. This is a British professor of law who has been teaching international law in the US for almost 23 years. She has been an international law professor at Notre Dame since 2005.
