Sputnik: Lack of US-Led Coalition Strikes in Syria 'Unrelated' to S-400 Deployment
The absence of US-led coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria is not related to Russia’s deployment of an advanced S-400 Triumf air defense system.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The absence of US-led coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria is not related to Russia’s deployment of an advanced S-400 Triumf air defense system at the Hmeimim airbase, a Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) spokesperson told Sputnik on Friday.
“The lack of Coalition strikes has nothing to do with the S400 deployment,” the spokesperson said. “The fluctuation or absence of strikes in Syria reflects the ebb and flow of battle.”
CJTF-OIR reported earlier on Friday that the US-led coalition carried out no airstrikes in Syria against ISIL targets on Thursday, while conducted 18 airstrikes against ISIL terrorist positions in Iraq.

WNU Editor,
Turkey, Hillary, Bush111, Etc all wanted a "No Fly" Zone over Eastern Syria,
Now they have "got it",
Not quite what they intended, so I expect the "whaambulance" will start showing up in the MSM on Monday.

Hopefully, the S400 deployment will bring this kind of crap to a stop.
