Feel Good Headline of the Day

The New York Times has this headline up at the moment:

From the story:

MOSCOW — Four Russian nationals, and perhaps dozens more, were killed in fighting between pro-government forces in eastern Syria and members of the United States-led coalition fighting the Islamic State, according to Russian and Syrian officials.

A Syrian military officer said that about 100 Syrian soldiers had been killed in the fighting on Feb. 7 and 8, but news about Russian casualties has dribbled out only slowly, through Russian news organizations and social media. . .

On Saturday, American forces struck a Russian-designed T-72 tank in roughly the same location as the previous fighting. . .

The Kremlin — seeking to play down its involvement in the fighting in Syria and seemingly hoping to avoid escalating tensions with the United States — has sidestepped questions about the episode.

But remember The Narrative: Trump is in Putin’s pocket.
