TLDR;

US: "Hey, we've got some guys in a building and there's about 300 guys with guns bearing down on them with clear intent to attack. Can you call them off before we have to defend ourselves?"

RUS: "Nope, they're not our guys."

US: "Are you sure? They look like yours."

RUS: "We're not even in that country."

US: "K, LOL. It's zero guys now."

"The reports that are on TV about ... well, you know, about Syria and the 25 people that are wounded there from the Syrian f--- army and — well ... to make it short, we've had our asses f--- kicked. So one squadron f--- lost 200 people ... right away, another one lost 10 people ... and I don't know about the third squadron, but it got torn up pretty badly, too ... So three squadrons took a beating ... The Yankees attacked ... first they blasted the f--- out of us by artillery, and then they took four helicopters up and pushed us in a f--- merry-go-round with heavy caliber machine guns ... They were all shelling the holy f--- out of it, and our guys didn't have anything besides the assault rifles ... nothing at all, not even mentioning shoulder-fired SAMs or anything like that ... So they tore us to pieces for sure, put us through hell, and the Yankees knew for sure that the Russians were coming, that it was us, f--- Russians ... Our guys were going to commandeer an oil refinery, and the Yankees were holding it ... We got our f--- asses beat rough, my men called me ... They're there drinking now ... many have gone missing ... it's a total f--- up, it sucks, another takedown ... Everybody, you know, treats us like pieces of s--- ... They beat our asses like we were little pieces of s--- ... but our f--- government will go in reverse now, and nobody will respond or anything, and nobody will punish anyone for this ... So these are our casualties."

-Intercepted comms by Wagner Group

“According to the U.S. military, the presence of U.S. special operations personnel in the targeted base elicited a response by coalition aircraft, including AC-130 gunships, F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles (MQ-9), AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, B-52s, and F-22s. Nearby U.S artillery batteries, including a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, shelled Syrian forces as well.”

A British officer fighting in the Normandy hedgerows described how to tell which forces may be occupying an area. Fire a few shots and wait for the response:

1. If you were answered by 60 seconds of disciplined rifle fire, it was the British.
2. If you were answered by a machine gun, it was the Germans.
3. If everything around you exploded with mortars, rockets, artillery, and bombs, it was the Americans.
