Another road incident happend between United States and Russian forces in the area northeast of Tall Tamr in the Syrian province of al-Hasakah. According to reports, US troops once again blocked a Russian Military Police patrol.
This was at least 3rd such incident between Russian and US forces in the area. The behaviour of the US military and a lack of the reaction from the Russian side demonstrate that Moscow opted this type of actions intentionally in an apparent attempt to not escalate the situation with Washington amid the ongoing developments in Idlib.

The US and Turkey can’t win this battle. What in fact is the use of these roadblocks? From, a strategic viewpoint it’s a joke. And considering the situation in Iraq the US will withdraw from Syria sooner then later.
Is that all you can do now america??? Cockblocking peace?
Pathetic!
The Americans will not be able to hold on without committing large numbers of troops once the Idlib conflict is resolved. This is why the USA has a vested interest in the continuation of the Idlib fighting, as demonstrated by the presence of their MQ-9 intel over Idlib and C-130 intel over the Mediterranean coast
It also doesn’t achieve anything positive. It’s just annoying!
Provocations.The US MIC is desperate for a war-any war! Nobody wants their military stuff and the war profiteers are wanting to sell. And Trump wants to look like a hero, because he isn’t one and wants to win the election. He’s doing what the MIC (and Israel) suggest-murdering generals and provoking war.
I disagree, if US was searching for a war then why didn’t they escalate the situation after Iran’s retaliation?
Perhaps something about the “retaliation” (which incidentally, is only the beginning of same) discouraged them from doing so:https://youtu.be/u7AR-yIcQVI?t=12
Let’s say it directly: it is not wise to escalate the conflict in the election year for Trump. This man is unpredictable and can even initiate the nuclear war in his try to be re-elected.
You should marry Hillary. I think Bill doesn’t want her.
I would rather prefer Ivanka, but she is married.
On this we agree.
The only reason that US is acting this way is because they knew for a fact that they won’t get any reaction from Russia. Putin will not allow anything to jeopardize his hope/dream of becoming a US vassal.
You’re serious?
syria and russia are winning the war to start a war with the u.s. would be a huge mistake .
Under any circumstances starting a war with the US would be huge, dumb mistake.
The question then, what will Russia do to get US out of Syria? Can Russia’s military invade a US ally without any repercussion from the US? Will US allow something like that, if the role were reversed. Russia must show its allies that it can protect them, otherwise, Russia will start losing credibility and allies.
Well, guess Russia will lose credibility and allies. Guess it’s better than being kicked out of the US dominated global financial, currency and trade institutions and markets and bankrupted with draconian sanctions.
Not quite. He doesn’t want the US to put on draconian sanctions and take other actions that would bankrupt him and his RF.
If you missed it, if the US and Israel wanted a war there would be a war by now.
War with Russia = complete and utter extermination of all so-called “Americans” (*mutant migrant trash from all over the world owned by Zios). Russia needs two hours or less to annihilate all you vermin. Then, you’ll probably kill each other soon anyway… murican mutant degenerates.
LOL…you really let your Vodka ration get to your head, Igor.
There is nothing in your head dumb bitch (except shit). I’m not from Russia, and “Igor” (Rabinowitz?) is your boss, your master, your owner: ashkenazi banksters + mexican hookers + african slaves + irish pirates + chinese coolies + polish janitors + Obuma = so called american “nation” /mutants.
Now on your knees and keep sucking israeli buttholes like a good obedient goyim slave. Don’t make mr. Rabinowitz angry! HAHAHA
Israel only wants war with unarmed civilians, especially women and children. And don’t speak for the “US”. You only know what the US gov’t may do as they’re cheap Zionists.
Can’t wait to see the Road Incidents near Al-Tanf, after Idlib will be cleared of the roach infestation.
No mention of the incident, when Russian helicopters freaked out the US.
why is russia so afraid to stand up to US?
Even you aren’t dumb enough not to know that.
Jake321, why don’t you tell us? Clearly, the OP asks a legitimate question.
I did in my posts above.
It’s not Russians in general but Putin the mole.
he needs to grow a pair or be canned
Agreed!
Not afraid, they can read the situation better, they will come on top, you will see.
Hope so
it looks like the usa has all forgat about the “ww2 tommy cooker” Sherman tank… the are a big and nice target…russian has a canon and the have a machine-gun…crazy behaver…dont understand that the usa soldiers is ok with this
Maybe the Russians could arrange to do the same in Iraq? (obviously though with Iraqi govt permission)
Syria is not worth Russia going to war with US, as his overall objective is to become an equal player within future economic and trade system. Putin’s and others who assist him have done a remarkable job in taking a totally bankrupt butt kissing third world Russia that was lut in place by Gorbachev,Yeltsin and US/Euro allied oligarchs years but Russia is still a one track economy, oil. And a big problem is military expansion both in weaponry and its tiny outreach on a Geopolitical stage has not reformed the lousy quality or variety from Russian Industrial trade goods nor its growth in wealth reached down to its people as of yet. Without China as an ally, that due to its massive growth in technology and trade goods along with its increase in building up its peoples economy, huge growth in worlds geopolitical sphere and using its excess wealth towards its silk road initiative, that Russia having only land mass and gas oil to sell to China, Russia would be no more than a third world emerging market state. Putin’s recent announcement of spending far more than ever before in Russian history in trying to modernize the huge sectors of Russian peoples welfare, education, private enterprise for smaller non state owned, diversified domestic economy, and trying to revive church slavery as a tools to bring all of Russia to Euro and US internal economic growth engines is working. No need for war when economic growth is a great weapon in and of itself. Russian military of non nuclear warfare cannot hope yo defeat US and Europe plus worldwide allies in open warfare outside of Russia proper. Putin’s nuclear capabilities protect mother Russian lands from foreign invasion, and only mother Russia.
Why does it looks to me from the photos as the Russians just passed around the Americans ignoring them and continued straight away?!?
