CNN (known real/fake news outlet depending on your views) is reporting that Russia has "accidentally" bombed US - BACKED forces. First real test for Trump? Waiting to see more news from CNN.

Russian warplanes bombed US-backed fighters in several small villages in northern Syria after they mistakenly thought Islamic State forces were in the area, a top US general said Wednesday.

On Tuesday, "we had some Russian aircraft and regime aircraft bomb some villages that I believe they thought were held by ISIS, yet ... actually on the ground were some of our Syrian Arab Coalition forces," Army Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend told reporters, noting that there were "some" casualties.

Maybe Trump forgot to tell them to wait until he the annexation of America was finished. I guess Putin couldn't wait any more.

Ohh, thanks for that clarification...I missed that. Must be super important though, CNN came back to have Van Jones and Angela Rye yammer about nonsense.
