0:00.0 | All right, Alexander. Let's talk about what is going on in the Middle East. The news came out yesterday evening by CNN that three American soldiers had been killed by what appears to be a drone attack on U.S. forces located, according to CNN, located in Jordan. Now, when you look at a map, |
0:27.2 | you can see that this area where the U.S. is operating out from is pretty much located in |
0:34.3 | three countries, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan, right on the border of three countries. |
0:40.9 | And there are a lot of reports which claim that the drone strike, if it was a drone strike, |
0:46.5 | actually hit the Al-Tamf base in Syria. |
0:50.3 | Jordan is denying that this was a drone strike that hit Jordan. |

1:55.5 | it's difficult to reconcile with what we know about the kind of thing the drones do. |
2:02.7 | Drones don't usually cause this number of deaths and injuries when they're carried out in one place. |
2:12.9 | We can say that with confidence. |
2:15.0 | I mean, I've been following the war in the conflict in Ukraine. |
2:18.7 | I've been watching. I've seen many, many pictures of drone strikes. This would be unusual. |
2:27.0 | And of course, we have the mystery about whether it happened in Syria or in Jordan. The Jordanian |
