@CITeam_en reporting confirmation through mercs social media 7 KIA. Other outlets say 25 Russian mercs killed. @isishunters claims 20 KIA.
@fontanka_spb hasn’t reported on air strike yet. They seem to be most reliable on Russian POV in Syria.
West is saying Russians deliberately attacked a US held base in Syria. Some ME observers are saying no way Russians would take action against US marines without air support. One source reported requested Russian air support did show up. (Or was intercepted by US, or Trump-Putin colluded).
Local report on telegraph 20 mercs and many pro-govt killed.
Propaganda- One source stating Pindosy (US troops) had bad intel and bombed YPG camp & media is spinning story of dozens/200/600 Russian mercs killed.
Kremlin is quiet on this. But Putin lost 12 generals in a “car bombing” that logistically couldn’t have happened.
So in reflection, did Putin call Bibi to halt Israel-Iran conflict in Syria? russia-insider.com/en/putins-phone-call-netanyahu-put-end-israels-strikes-syria/ri22521
Did Putin soil his undies when Israel and US bombed targets in Syria almost simultaneously last weekend? Were we very, very close to engaging in WWIII?
