if the US military doesn't have several satellites pointed at syria knowing every single movement taking place 100% of the time, then the US military is NOT doing it's job. it seems like there are professional trolls converging on comments sections everywhere, trying to muddy the waters. 

unless these comment section armchair speculators have a better apparatus for watching such regions than the pentagon, just stop.

now, whether this was all planned between trump and putin to move eyeballs away from the russia scandal, remains to be seen.
