Posting about Russian attack on US led coalition forces in Syria since Feb 7th. The stories get more convoluted as time passes.
If Russia targeted US troops, it’s a big fucking deal.
If Kremlin didn’t know, Mercenaries acting on own or with backing of Iran, it’s a big fucking deal.
Still unclear, how many died. AP, Bloomberg, etc say 200-600, local sources 100, Facebook confirmations 25 mercs.
Now couple of stories on who gave order. Stories of US intel intercepts of attack.
US air strike was brutal, overkill.
So many unanswered questions.
Latest round,
Sergei Kim is to blame. informnapalm.org/en/failed-offensive-at-deir-ezzor-was-planned-by-wagner-pmc-chief-of-operations-sergei-kim/
No wait, not Sergei but Yevgeniy did it
From WaPo: “In intercepted communications in late January, the oligarch, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, told a senior Syrian official that he had “secured permission” from an unspecified Russian minister to move forward with a “fast and strong” initiative that would take place in early February” . http:// archive.is/j6KKj
Yevgeniy Prigozhin, one of 13 Russians indicted for meddling in US elections.
How does this tie to the Feb7-8 Russian attack on US troops, that didn’t happen or may have happened?
