So now there are two? Please think some more, that number will increase. And that highlights the real problem: the utter breakdown of Syrian government causing a huge refugee problem.
I never claimed there was only one. The presence of Turkish troops in Syria does not invalidate anything I have said. This thread is about an attack by Syrians against a US military base illegally occupying Syria.
I posit facts and logic, you posit verbal diarrhoea and ignorance intertwined with some weird fixation over Syrian refugees, when I have already told you that "exodus of refugees from Syria to its neighbours is not a legal justification for the USA to occupy Syrian territory and steal Syrian oil".
I am wasting my time with you, I will repeat my thesis and leave others to judge who is the clueless fool engaging in whataboutery and failing to present cogent, reasoned arguments (hint: it is you).
(1) The US military is currently occupying Syrian territory. This is illegal under international law.
(2) Syria has oil reserves and these are largely located in the territory that the US military is currently occupying.
(3) Oil continues to be extracted from occupied Syrian territory and exported (usually through Turkey), without the permission or benefit of the Syrian Government.
(4) The President of the United States, while he was in office, directly admitted that the US was still in Syria to "keep the oil" and that the US "left troops behind [in Syria] only for the oil". If you think the President of the United States is a liar, CNN (and various other media organisations) has reported that US companies have been awarded contracts to develop oil fields and extract oil in occupied Syrian territory:

(5) The Syrian Government, Iranian Government, Russian Government, Chinese Government (and others) have all corroborated this account and demanded that the US cease their occupation of Syrian territory and theft of Syrian resources.
(6) The US' occupation and theft of Syrian territory and resources are both illegal under international law. As a result, Syrians have a right to self-defence against those illegal acts of military aggression, which includes the right to target US occupation forces in Syria.
