No Red line in Syria..........they were actually hit by Trump
Trump abandoned our own troops in Syria when he abandoned the Kurds. Then, after Russian troops engaged American troops, he demonstrated his weakness and subservience to Putin by
not doing a ******* thing about it, choosing to "deescalate".

Vehicle collision with Russians injures 4 US troops in Syria
Aug 26, 2020
WASHINGTON — In the most violent skirmish in months between U.S. and Russian forces in Syria, a vehicle collision in the eastern part of the war-torn country
left American troops with concussions, two U.S. officials said Wednesday.
One official said Russian vehicles sideswiped a light-armored U.S. military vehicle,
injuring four Americans. The official said two Russian helicopters flew above the Americans, and one of the aircraft was within about 70 feet the vehicle.
National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot said in a statement that a
Russian vehicle struck the American vehicle near Dayrick, in northeast Syria.
“To deescalate the situation, the coalition patrol departed the area,” Ullyot said. “Unsafe and unprofessional actions like this represent a breach of deconfliction protocols, committed to by the United States and Russia in December 2019.”
