As our friends on the left and their pawns in the media fawn over fabricated crimes and non existent cover ups, shit is getting real in the ME...

A U.S. strike aircraft shot down a Syrian government fighter jet shortly after it bombed U.S.-backed Syrian fighters in North Syria, the Pentagon said in a statement Sunday. The Pentagon said the shoot-down came hours after Syrian government-backed forces attacked U.S.-backed fighters, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, in the village of Ja’Din. As the attack unfolded, the U.S. military used a deconfliction channel to communicate with the Syrian government to stop the skirmish, according to the Pentagon statement. Roughly two hours later, despite the called-for stand down, a Syrian Su-22 jet dropped an unknown number of munitions on the Syrian Democratic Forces. A U.S. F/A-18 promptly shot the Syrian aircraft down “in accordance with rules of engagement and in collective self-defense of coalition partnered forces,” the Pentagon statement said.

Well at least you are not backing ISIS and the Al-Nusra Front anymore like Obama was, you know the "Moderate Rebels" aka the Al-Nusra Front.
The Syrian Democratic Forces are a very complicated group, primarily they consist of Kurds, Assyrians, Arabs, Armenians and others, I think about 35% of the SDF are Kurds, they've been fighting for about two years against ISIS, the Al-Nusra Front, Turkey backed Militias, Salafists and Al-Qaeda spin off groupings
The Syrian Democratic Forces have also been supported by Russia since early 2016.
That America is now supporting the SDA is going to pit America directly against Turkey who are sworn enemies of the SDA because of the high numbers of Kurds and Armenians in the SDA.
