A top U.S. commander exclusively tells NBC News that armed Russian jets have flown over a U.S. military base in Syria nearly every day in March, which violates a four-year-old agreement between Washington, D.C., and Moscow. NBC’s Courtney Kube reports.

Putin is looking for an excuse to start a special operation in Washington 🙂
Why tf US still have their base in Syria tho?
Why is the USA still in Syria maybe still supporting the terrorist.
Just take the fkng thin out. Enough talk.
Its ok for usa to poke russia but when they poke back shame on them. Anyone else see that. Smh
Well maybe its because our dumb president is supplying weapons to the country russia is at war with. Its not rocket science nbc/war provoker.
The US is helping Ukraine repelling an occupying force while at the same time illegally occupying Syria? Incredible!!! Great journalism, NBC!
funny when some country do it to US its illegal when the US do it it's okay hahahahaha, US the great Pretender and feeling hero, your president is the worst president you ever elect mygod
why is the US in Syria? Nobody invited them. Russia, on the other hand, was invited to Syria. Why no mention of this?
Putin is pushing to many buttons and he is going to push the wrong button.
The Syrian government never asked you to situate your base, the government didn't authorize it, what's the US saying? It's an abuse of Syrias territorial sovereignty by a bigger nation. Remember same people say "BIG NATIONS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO INVADE SMALL NATIONS ". HYPOCRITES I'LL SAY.
However, if Russia signed an agreement with the US, it has to uphold it, though I strongly believe the US is in Syria illegally.
Russia should drop a few MOABs on this US base in Syria !
Putin thinks we are weak are leadership needs to send a strong message if not are adversary's gonna circle like pack of wolves
This will be the first US base to get bombed by the Russians when the war starts !
We need a strong commander in chief at a time like this
It would be a shame if something happened to them
Excellent. Flying right over our troops makes their aircraft the most vulnerable to SAMs. I imagine SAMs are pointed at those Russian aircraft every second of their overflight, ready to drop them into the sand in an instant. The Russians are afraid to fly right over the Ukrainian troops for good reason.
What are we doing in Syria in the first place? It's not our country. Get out of the middle east.
You can’t have agreements with a dictator! They only understand force
Shoot some Russian planes down…maybe that’ll learn them to keep a save distance?
If this is not colonialism I do not know what to call it, a military base in someone's else land, can you imagine ?????
It’s inevitable War is going to happen
The most appropriate and consistent comment is why does the U.S. have a base in Syria?….
who ELECTED the U.S. to be the WORLD POLICE…✌
Nobody will make agreements in the future with Russia unless the Russians are in handcuffs. .
Shoot it down. Turkey did!
Why hasn't yhe russian federation been shut down yet? 🤔
US whines and complained too much
No worry. Biden is too coward to declare war on Russia.
The nerve of US complaining, while they're illegally occupying Syria.
