"The death by airstrike of a large number of Russian "mercenary troops" allegedly attacking a US backed position in Syria is reminder that hybrid/proxy/low-intensity conflict is not without risk.

This does sound like a case of overreach. Usually Putin can get away with it, so it isn't really overreach. But if you do something one too many times… Thatīs a hard way to lose a third of a battalion though. Were they thinking that the US would stand down and let them destroy a special forces A team and their charges? Just an odd situation. |

Hate to get political but God Bless Trump for untethering the US Military. |
