Russians provoking confrontations with US military in Syria
https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-troops-...1580947976

"Russian personnel are engaging in tense standoffs with U.S. troops on highways in northeastern Syria in violation of agreements between Washington and Moscow to stay out of one another’s way in the war-ravaged country, the top U.S. envoy to Syria said Wednesday....

Mr. Jeffrey said Russia appeared to be making the incursions “to challenge our presence in the northeast.” He called on Moscow to respect the deconfliction agreements negotiated with the U.S. to avoid clashes between the two countries’ forces in Syria...."

Thinking about it, these Russian mercenaries could be working for the Iranians.

Odd that the Russians would make trouble for us. The US is on the way out. Causing problems might creat a situation that delays or even reverses that plan. Doesn’t make much sense for the Russians.

It makes sense in that like the Iranians, the Russians want to say “look at us, we chased the Americans out of here”. The trick for them is to not take it to far. It has been demonstrated what will happen if they do.
