Interesting story that doesn't seem to be getting the coverage it should:


600+ Russian mercs, plus artillery/tanks attempted to storm US-supported base in Syria, believing they could take it.

Rumored 100+ Russian forces dead, hundreds of wounded flown back to Russia.


Putin has a cold, and can't speak to the media. POTUS has not tweeted about it, or issued a statement. No movement on sanctions.
