MILITARY SOFTENING: 4 AMERICANS DEAD BUT BIDEN REFUSES TO AGRESSIVELY COUNTER ATTACK

An American military base in the Koniko field, Syria, was attacked by multiple rockets, and the US base in Al-Shaddadi, Syria, was attacked by drones.

4 American soldiers were killed and several others were injured
