Not really.
The story has gone to a battalion of Russians, to “including some Russians.
Mercenaries like that are not cheap. WHO is paying for them, and whose command are they under? Iran comes first in my mind. They and the Qatari’s would love to hurt Trump while killing some Americans.
Oh please. In 2015 and and 2016 this place was overrun with Putin worshipers.
Ralph Peters is a Hillary supporter and voter. He is also a first class idiot and jerk. His opinions are worthless.
He’s president now. Why aren’t we out of Syria then?
Wow. Thanks for the info. Liberals eh?
The Syrian government did not invite us.
We have no business in Syria.
Incorrect...
FR is overrun with people who no longer buy mainstream media narratives at face value, and dig deeper into stories,
Obama would have told our guys to hunker down and wait for the bad guys to leave. Putin and his Iranian buddies need to understand we are under new management now.
Many Blackwater employees were former SF guys who were not thugs at all. Bad wording on his part.
RALPH peters?
Yeah, Ralph Peters was the guy who swore he was voting for Hillary Clinton because he could bring himself to vote for a “ Moscow man” like Donald Trump
Ran into them in Iraq. Very professional. Lots of females!
Peters has become a never Trumper idiot and I do not know what to think of him now that he slandered Blackwater.
Yes, thanks for reminding me. This proves that Peters is officially an off the rocker never Trumper fool.
No matter what, this bloodthirsty NEO-CON writer will figure out a way to put an anti-Trump spin on it.
Actually, it used to be like that. Now, it’s the opposite.
Every time I see a Buick, I think of Ralph Peters!
No one is protecting Christians there. No one cares. Syria started with the "Arab Spring" cover in a strategic attempt to prize Syria from the Iran/Russia grasp using ISIS and Jihadi groups, and make Syria a pathway for Saudi and Gulf pipelines. The result was destruction of Syria, a million Syrians in Europe, the rise of ISIS and a strategic victory for Putin and Iran. Didn't quite work out as Obama, Clinton and McCain planned.
Trump is facing a Nixon in Vietnam situation. He's been handed a total mess, created by the previous administration. Does Trump want Russian and Americans shooting at each other in Syria? I don't think so.
