WNU Editor: Russian officials are reacting angrily to these comments .... Russia goes after State spokesman for 'body bags' comment (Washington Examiner). What's my take .... Russia's participation in the Syrian is going to produce body-bags and blowback .... no suprises there.

The problem is that the US believes that if Russia does what we tell them to do in Syria, which really means agree to regime change, then the violence will stop. This is believing in magic. Where has the violence stopped anywhere the US has intervened with a regime change war since 9/11? No where.
the Russians will not have as many casualties in Syria as we had in Iraq.
the Russians hit hard.
The State Department Hoaxperson is just a well paid metro-sexual.
Plus they haven't dismantled the Syrian Army so they won't have to occupy the country for 20 years.
