and those “little green men” were fighting... isis.
and those “little green men” were fighting... the Kurdish-led SDF - the single ground force that has done more to defeat ISIS, than everyone else in Syria combined.
The heroes of Kobane, and the liberators of Raqqa.
And now, the killers of little green men. Those Kurds loved to sing old Russian songs, and went to Moscow to open offices, and thought the Russians were their old comrades.
But now Putin suddenly withdraws his air cover and invites the Turks to come massacre those Kurds in Afrin (Man, Woman and child, using former ISIS fighters to torture prisoners to death). Then he tries to attack the oil fields, hoping they have been drawn away. That cost a couple of generations worth of Russian credibility to be sacrificed, for those stabs in the back.
That open desert is no place to send your own boys Mr. Putin - it is like shooting fish in a barrel out there, hard to miss them. It is sad to waste them like that, and have to explain to their mothers why you did. Send us tasty Iranians instead.
They were attacking Kurds, who had US troops embedded. US warned them not to attack, but they didn’t listen.
