Russia Is Attacking US Forces With Electronic Weapons In Syria, General Says (yahoo.com)
john of sparta shares a report from Yahoo: American forces in Syria are increasingly facing attacks from Russian and Syrian electronic warfare weapons, as Moscow uses the conflict to test its future arsenal. General Raymond Thomas, head of the U.S. Special Operations Command, said that Syria has become "the most aggressive electronic warfare environment on the planet," Breakingdefense.com reported. Speaking at a geospatial intelligence conference in Florida, Gen. Thomas said that Russian and Syrian regime forces "are testing us everyday, knocking our communications down, disabling our [EC-130 aircraft]."
The Lockheed Martin EC-130 Compass Call is one of America's most advanced electronic warfare weapons. Based on the C-130 Hercules, the plane was developed to disrupt enemy communications, radar and command operations. The craft's presence in Syrian skies gives Russia the chance to test its weapons against the best the U.S. has to offer, whether directly or through its Syrian allies. Earlier this month, four anonymous officials told NBC News that Russia has also been regularly targeting smaller U.S. surveillance drones. One of those quoted said Russian operations were having a significant impact on U.S. capabilities. The sophisticated attacks were even successful against encrypted signals and anti-jamming devices, the official said. Slashdot reader john of sparta adds, "Well, it's war; not a surprise..."

Impossible, for the simple reason that Syria is well, syrian. Thus Syria and their official russian and iranian allies can only DEFEND against US, saudi and zionist invasion forces. It's the capitalist-greater-zionist-imperialist, YHWH-satan worshipping side who is the attacker in Syria. The supposedly secular (1st Amendment) America is actually "dog on chain" of jewish zionism and christian zionism, which want to burn Damascus just because some 3000 year old horror story called Isaiah 17:1 says so.
and all the big blue spots are centered over sanctuary cities where illegals are allowed to vote, but those sanctuary cities forget that illegal aliens dont qualify to vote in a federal election, maybe the electoral college ignored a lot of votes from blue areas that could not be verified
