“US struck and killed 60+ Russian backed Syrian gov’t troops Then a UN supply convoy was struck - Russia disavows their role Now this, if true.”
Let me tell you that when make a bone headed attack on the Syrian army ( I do not think that we are so stupid that it was a mistake!!) you get reprisals from RUSSIANS. The Russians ARE THERE!! We have no business there. GET THE HELL OUT!!WHY ARE WE ATTACKING THE Syrians?
Hmmmn.
if these reports are true - and they might be true after all.
The US killed 30 ordinary Syrian-backed militia troops. In other words, teenagers wearing uniforms in a truck carrying AK-47’s.
The Russians sent a pair of cruise missiles into the INTELLIGENCE ROOM of the allied Command Center that was directing the previous attack. Killing a large number of very expensive officers and command and control equipment (and breaking the intelligence room up so ANYBODY could come in later and gather up the radios, satellite receivers, and crypto gear for “secure analysis” elsewhere. More importantly, so ANY officer considering another attack on Syrian teenagers in a truck gets a few ... “second thoughts” about his own neck.
Too bad the Russians didn’t send a cruise missile towards the Pentagon or White House.
