Ask the Russians how we wiped out their tanks, air planes and about 200 men when they encroached on the oil fields in Syria. They had to save face by saying they were mercenaries and not the proper Russian army.
Trump is in charge now. No micromanaging of the military. Also no state side permission needed to engage targets. Fuck with this unhandcuffed military now. This isn't Obama's military.

Unfortunately, over the past few years, it has become a common approach for major Western and Russian media outlets to spread wild speculations and staged lie hiding behind “anonymous sources”.
The aforementioned story is a fresh example how these rumors are being presented as reliable or even confirmed info because they serve somebody’s narrative.
Another well-known story in this field is the speculations about “hundreds” of casualties suffered by Russian PMCs or even Armed Forces as a result of US airstrikes in eastern Syria, which erupted in February 2018. These “hundreds” of killed Russian fighters have never been confirmed and only reliable data exists about some 5 Russian citizens, who died in unclear circumstances in the conflict zone this period.
However, this did not stop the media from repeating the fake story and even top US leadership like President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed it as a fact in their statements.
