U.S. forces killed scores of Russian mercenaries in Syria last week in what may be the deadliest clash between citizens of the former foes since the Cold War, according to one U.S. official and three Russians familiar with the matter.

More than 200 contract soldiers, mostly Russians fighting on behalf of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, died in a failed attack on a base held by U.S. and mainly Kurdish forces in the oil-rich Deir Ezzor region, two of the Russians said. The U.S. official put the death toll at about 100, with 200 to 300 injured.

I haven't heard where a large number of US Forces were injured or killed...so the Russian mercenaries really are that bad at warring?

You also have to figure at least a few of them are actual currently active Russian military.

I watched a BBC report on the Russian mercenaries in Syria. This is not surprising considering many were regular civilians without jobs and no training.

CNN: In a desperate search for political cover, Trump backed special forces murder scores of Russian fighters in Syria as the sound of war drums amplify.

If that drunk hag had been elected we'd already be in full scale war.
