With air superiority for the U.S. and adequate numbers of aircraft and artillery present you have to be insane to attack U.S. forces head on. I think there was obviously some miscommunication on the Russian end of this as they did not appear to realize their “mercenaries” were part of the attacking force.
Mattis knows his business. I wish he would fumigate the PC crap from the military, but we can at least be confident that he will aggressively act when necessary.

There was no miscommunication. We contacted the Russian government, and the Russians said it wasnt them; So it was game on. The Russians had no reason to complain; and they didnt.
BS. The Russians knew exactly what was going on. Everyone’s playing the proxy game. Puppet warfare.

Or just arrogance. This battle is reminiscent of the first big battle at the Donetsk airport during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There an over confident Chechen GRU unit was cut to shreds by the Ukrainian air force. I doubt these Russkies expected to get hammered by U.S. air power like they did.
