Then check out this video (in Russian, but not translation needed):
also, notice how these “invincible warriors” are used to fight with refrigerators full of Coca-Cola to sustain them in the heat of the battle! :-)

This is priceless. The USA has been humilliated once again.
No wonder the Pentagon cannot pass an audit!
All these restaurant equipment, up for grabs!
Some industrious Syrian must be dancing from joy.
It was left over to Russians on purpose, by an order of Trump. If the Americans were mean they could have burned it to ashes, no question.
Now that the media are joking about US cowardness you surely read already about the next bases which were set on fire by leaving US troops. They have learned their lesson quickly.
Stop making a victory of it. Americans are leaving, not running. Russians are not attacking, just relocating!
They aleays invent some positive spin for even the most negative actions their colonials are forced to do.
I was sure i saw a box of Pampers, ready for their evacuation…
the US shouldn’t feel humiliated for getting out of the way.
Yes it should, after trying to topple the Syrian government and putting Wahabi nutcases in power, after making numerous false allegation of chem attacks, after then striking Syria in total illegality, and finally, for being Israel’s bitch – yes, after that they richly deserve to be ridiculed, especially after tying to convince the world that the US military is “the best in history”, no less!
Yes, Trump DID the right thing by pulling out. After all, he could not go to war against Turkey, could he?
But that was ONE sensible move after DECADES of supporting the worst kind of scum on the planet.
Sorry, I disagree. We get to laugh at these clowns, their hypocrisy, total lack of courage and overall incompetence.
We all sure need a laugh in these otherwise tragic and frightening times.
YMMV of course.
Kind regards!
Truer words never written ;-)
The silent points are that —>
1) the russia ‘feel the need’ to make a documentary
and
2) put it on utube (a western channel)
and
3) utube did not screen and/or ban it
US Military Carries Out Airstrikes to Destroy Ammo Left Behind in Syria
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201910171077067320-us-military-carries-out-airstrikes-to-destroy-ammo-left-behind-in-syria/
“US Army Col. Myles Caggins, a spokesman for the coalition, says the F-15E fighter jet strikes were pre-planned and destroyed ammunition stored at the Lafarge Cement Factory, which had served as a coordination center for the US-led coalition and Kurdish forces in the fight against terrorists.
According to Caggins, all coalition personnel and “essential tactical equipment” had left the base before the strike.”
Too risky to truck out the chem/bioweapon materials?
probably not.
If they had chem munitions there, the Russians will find them.
but other stuff, including munitions, fuels, electronics, etc. yes.
or just to avoid more embarrassing videos of abandoned camps
Dunno
Cheers
“If they had chem munitions there, the Russians will find them.”
I hope all the places u.s./nato/israeli personnel were stationed are thoroughly checked for traces of chemical and biological weapon materials.
If they leave cans of Coca-Cola and air-conditioned tents for Assad’s army and Russians film it – it is wrong. If they (US troops) bomb own leftovers – wrong again?
OMG, if there was no time to load and transport away the ammo, what should they have done? Ooops, leave it to Kurds or ISIS?!
Just a standard procedure (the bombing). We do not even have to recall WW2. Russian army did the same in Chechnia just years ago a few times. Stop the hype.
Does anyone of you really believe Erdogan is now a friend or subordinate of Putin? Then you are more naive than the stupid European leaders. I’m just hoping this brings the break up of the fascist NATO a bit closer… 😎
“Does anyone of you really believe Erdogan is now a friend or subordinate of Putin?”
No — the point here is rather that, unlike the West’s mental and moral political midgets, Erdogan has the intellectual capacity to pursue politics as the “Art of the Possible”. EU and the US have definitely lost any semblance of commonplaceness.
“if there was no time to load and transport away the ammo, what should they have done? Ooops, leave it to Kurds or ISIS?!”
Absolutely correct — or do you believe somehow that would be below US moral standards?
Somebody at RT seems to have similar thoughts about the u.s. bombing their abandoned bases:
Covering the tracks? US jets BOMB own base in Syria as troops retreat
https://www.rt.com/news/471091-us-bombs-syria-base-retreat/
“Wednesday’s airstrike near Kobani appears to be aimed at avoiding its secrets, whatever they might be, falling into the hands of either the Turks or the Syrian government troops moving in.”
I see a completely different picture. I see a tent city, a disposable city. The cost and time involved in relocating such equipment would be enormous, and futile, after all the Americans still reside in a ‘disposable’ community.
And again these troops are not going to establish a ‘new’ base, but rather are being sent back to Iraq, to already established bases to continue their ‘fight against ISIS’ or whatever.
And what will the Russians do this these facilities? Nothing; they will establish their own. And the locals? What will they do? Well the children may loot the cans of coke, and the adults, well they will salvage whatever they can, but there’s little value left behind, and that is the reality. Within a year there will be no signs whatsoever that an American base was ever there, just some memories.
But this reminds me of a similar situation in Beersheba in 1917, after the Australians under Lord Allenby took Beersheba by a cavalry charge. After that ‘victory’ the Australian troops were changed from cavalry to infantry, and the soldiers ordered to shoot their steeds, the very creature that gave them victory. The worshippers of mammon have never changed their spots nor their counting of the pennies.
