The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Two military bases that house U.S. troops in Iraq were targeted with drone attacks on Wednesday. The Islamic Resistance, a group of Iranian-backed militias claimed responsibility for the attacks and threatened more to come. There were minor injuries to U.S. troops reported at the Al-Asad Airbase.
