Introduction:



The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed displeasure over:

  • The shooting down of the Syrian Su-22 on June 18
  • The US base near al-Tanf, with special forces and HIMARS artillery
  • The shooting down of two Iranian UAVs
  • The bombing of pro-Assad armored columns (twice)


However, Russia has not attempted to hold U.S. aircraft operating around al-Tanf at risk...
JUST a side comment...what we are actually seeing in Syria is not an Obama nor a Trump and his merry band FP....

We are seeing a SecDef Mattis FP backed up by AIM 9s.....and specific Iranian counter air strikes.....to enforce a red line policy.

The Mattis FP problem begins the exact day he attempts to take back under control those advanced weapon systems given to the PKK....after Raqqa...
