Oops. Accidental US airstrike kills 18

US coalition forces got the wrong co-ordinates.

They thought they were bombing ISIS targets but hit allied forces instead.

www.google.com...

Those syrian forces sure cant catch a break.

Is it coincidental that it happened right after the Russians decided to quit sharing intel with the US?

My thoughts are:

1: It was no accident.

2: Im not a certified psychic but i see "a slight to hefty uptick in "accidents" in 2017 in the once soverign nation of Syria".

"Accidental".

Of course it was.

The Kurds will have no say in postwar Syria if America gets it's way. The country will be handed on a silver plate to the Wahhabists.

Is there any difference?

They weren't Syrian Government forces. It was the SDF, one of the militias allied with the US and the coalition fighting ISIS.

So...

What should be done to the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces that provided the faulty intel?
War Crimes?
Jail?
Slap on the wrist?

On my local tv news it mentioned that the tillerson meeting didnt go so well.

Tillerson even offered Russia for them to put their own government in to run Syria, but Assad must go.

Nice gesture at least

Not really. They just wave different flags.

US friendly fire! Well I never. Why not just change the colour of the flag to blue on blue.

We should be rioting in the streets to withdraw from there.

Oh, I see where the problem is. You automatically riot when things aren't to your liking. Didn't anyone tell you rioting is EXTREME? First comes, oh I don't know, all kind of stuff. Meetings, marches, protests...... anything catch your eye there?

This kind of thing is not uncommon, a lot of innocent people die in our air raids. I can't understand how we can point a finger at anyone else, we actually participated in creating ISIS and Al Qaeda in the first place. We are somewhat responsible for a lot of the death that is going on.

Al Qaeda, Isis, and the Rebels are naive, do they really think the USA is going to let them control Syria if their leader quits, they will all be disposed of, we cannot have evidence out there that can prove the USA had anything to do with their terrorism.

Yeah, democracy. We've done it before. With Viet Nam after a decade of slaughter.
