Russian warplanes reportedly bombed a secret military base in Syria used by elite American and British forces last month.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Russian strike on the CIA-linked site was part of a campaign by Russia to pressure the White House to agree to closer cooperation in the Syrian skies, U.S. military and intelligence officials said.
Despite the fact that some forces could have been killed and the bombing dampened relations between Russia and the Pentagon and CIA, the White House and State Department still persued a compromise.
The U.S. and Russia agreed to a pact last week to target airstrikes against the Al Qaeda affiliate in the region – Nusra Front – despite objections from the Pentagon and CIA. Russia agreed to stop airstrikes on U.S.-backed rebels and restrain the Syrian air campaign. The two sides are still talking about designations where Russia would need U.S. approval to conduct an airstrike.

Interesting that a secret airbase has been bombed. Wonder how that information leaked out?
The base was vacant.
If you believe CNN.
That Americans were there helping the terrorists is coincidental.
Did you mean RT? I’m not following.
Putin doesn’t bomb aspirin factories like some other Commander-in-Chiefs. Nor does he draw red lines that are routinely violated without consequence.
If FR had a like button.
Yeah, right. And how's that been workin out for Obammy's non-effort?
And for some reason, I can't see Puti-poot taking orders or consulting with our current administration. d:^)
Make nice with a villain and this is what you get. Where is that button Hillary???
Like sinking each other’s subs in the bad old days, except that we do not reciprocate any more.
>The base was vacant.
From the article “Nearly a day before the strike, 20 of 24 British special forces pulled out of the base”.
I read it as 4 were still there.
I read it also....but no one was even hurt and they refer to them as rebels.
If this is true, this is an ACT OF WAR. But, we don’t have anyone in Sodom on the Potomac with balls enough to do a damned thing about it.
A secret base,...where we train the our moderate rebels attaching Syria. You know, moderates like the ones that beheaded the 11 year old boy the other day
My mistake. It’s a toss up which is more truthful, though.
