Can't wrap my head around this...
I would love nothing more than an intelligent civil discussion (but I do know better)
AP is reporting that the Russian military says its warplanes have flown a joint mission in Syria against the Islamic State group together with the U.S.-led coalition.
Of course that claim was immediately denied by the Pentagon, saying Russia's claim that its warplanes flew a joint mission over Syria with the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group is "rubbish."
What would be the incentive for Russia to claim that?
