President Donald Trump said Wednesday a fight between the U.S. and Russia in Syria produced scores of casualties, apparently referring to a Pentagon-led strike on pro-Syrian government fighters in February.
Speaking at a press conference alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Trump defended his record on Russia after the White House rejected sanctions announced Sunday by U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. Trump said that, although he wanted to improve Washington's relationship with Moscow and wasn't sure if additional sanctions were currently necessary, he had demonstrated his ability to challenge the Kremlin by building up the U.S. military, funding Western military alliance NATO and bombing Russian fighters in Syria.

Am I seriously reading this right...
Is Trump actually using the deaths of Russian fighters to make it clear that he's 'tough' on Russia?
Is Trump giving himself a pat on the back and saying "For those who say I'm not tough on Russia, well, here's a reminder: we killed a good score of them!"
WNU Editor, you say that's not playing well in Russia... I'd say this wouldn't play well anywhere, let alone Russia.
Apparently they the Russians are many things ie drunk, corrupt, hard headed. No Russian I have worked with I would regard as WEAK. I counter that you American schooling was weak judging by your bonehead comment
He's probably a typical fat Yankee
Trump wants to get this to peace negotiations with the current areas of control. He will not allow Putin to push the envelope any further without paying a price.
But, what is Trump telling Putin? Perhaps "don't pay any attention to what I am saying. It is only BS to get people thinking about something other than sending me to jail. I really don't mean any of it, buddy."
Death to Putler!!
