Russia has violated a four-year-old agreement with the U.S. by flying armed jets over a U.S. garrison in Syria nearly every day this month, according to Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who is in charge of air operations in the area.
...
The U.S. has more than 900 troops, and hundreds more contractors, in Syria, working with Kurdish fighters to quell any resurgence of the Islamic State, which was defeated as a caliphate in 2019. Russia's military has been backing Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad during his country's 12-year-old civil war.
...
Grynkewich said Russia might be trying to put more pressure on the U.S. military presence in Syria, of which it disagrees. But he said because the U.S. and Russia are supposed to be opposed to the Islamic State in Syria, "it seems like a very strange time to do this."

Funny how the Islamic State in Syria went from zero under Assad's Father, to a full Caliphate under US Regime Change Demands and military occupation of Syrian Provinces.
Of course the US could take protective measures by supplying Arab "Contractors" various MANPADS, ... via Ukraine (on the QT).
What is a U.S. garrison doing in Syria?
US airspace in Syria...
WTF????
America...you have no permission to be in Syria let alone claims on Airspace.
Supporting, Funding and Supplying ISIS.
US airspace in Syria? ROLFMAO! Who said illegal invasion?
Why do we have troops in Syria? I don’t trust Biden, Austin or the Woke Joint Chiefs to do anything other than create a Charlie Foxtrot anywhere troops are deployed. The are all incompetent losers.
bingo
Syrian airspace belongs to Syria.
It is up to Syria to decide its use.
We don’t seem to have a problem with doing the same over the Black Sea.
The headline alone looks like something from the Babylon Bee.
Biden, Prog Socialist Democrats, Deep Swamp NeoCons and Commanders like Vindman, don’t need permission to be in Syria.
Protecting ISIS from annihilation
Obviously fighting Putin there so we don’t have to fight him here.
Duh. /s
Supporting, Funding and Supplying ISIS.
Could be. But Israel is also stirring things up in Syria.
IDF chief finally acknowledges that Israel supplied weapons to Syrian rebels.
Israel Just Admitted Arming anti-Assad Syrian Rebels. Big Mistake.
I'm going to wait a while before responding to that comment.
I'll try to recall it after the situation develops through the summer.
Feel free to remind me, if you wish.
I never mark my sarcasm or ridicule.
It’s not The Bee, honest.
WTF????
That was my reaction.
Reminds me of the Monty Python joke commemorating those "who so gallantly gave their lives to keep China British."
It's pathetic how the powers-that-be in the U.S. consider it a Divine mandate for us to defend Ukraine from Russia, but consider it our manifest destiny to violate the sovereignty of other nations with boring regularity.
