Enclave.

This is coolbert:

Without question this is not a good sign. Anti-Assad elements in Syria and friendly to the United States bombed by Russian jets.

So as reported by the latest edition of the DEBKAfile newsletter:

"Russian jets bomb US-backed Kurdish enclave"

19 August.

"DEBKAfile's intelligence and military sources disclose that the aerial bombardment Wednesday of the pro-US Kurdish enclave Hassake and Kurdish positions in Asayish in northeastern Syria was conducted by Russian jets. Many casualties were reported by the Kurdish Arab militia which is armed and trained by the US."

This ENCLAVE under protection [a NO-FLY zone] by the fighter planes of the USAF? Operations from Incirlik now cancelled [?] with the Russian taking advantage of the situation?

AND THE AMERICAN RESPONSE IS?
