As opposed to the American propaganda rags? Funny how all this time no Americans were needed on the ground in Syria except after Russian operations started.

It really is all about Assad oil and the USD.

Sounds like a good anti war rally cry. Maybe after Trump gets elected.

Let's say they get killed by the guys they're supposed to be training in an effort to get the U.S. more involved.

My money's on Washington lying about their deaths in any case to KEEP itself from having to confront Russia directly.

Summation: it won't matter who kills your guys, it will be a wasted death in any case.

It's damned criminal the way your troops are being squandered on these regions of generational tribal strife that put the value of human life on a lower par than their damn goat in the yard or their daughters.

The next battleground is going to be Saudi Arabia.

Syria is just the opening act.

As long as Saudi Arabia is the lynchpin of the entire PetroDollar system, the US Military will not allow it.

Think "pipeline routes" when you think of Syria.

The Russians aren't going to stop. It'll be their Iranian ally that takes down the House of Saud.

Which is why the whole Ukrainian coup idea was an especially bad one. Historically, it's a very bad idea to f*ck with the Russians. They don't stop.
