US Media Silence as Pentagon Deploys Rangers Armoured Regiment on the Ground in Syria

21st Century Wire says…
Yesterday reports emerged of a US heavy armoured convoy heeding through northern Syria, heading towards a forward position near the flashpoint city of Manbij, near the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa.
Not surprisingly, this news – which would normally be strewn across all headlines and TV news leader boards – has been completely blacked-out by the US media, aside from some website mentions.
Naturally, Americans have to go to RT to get news about what the US military is doing in far-flung destinations. Here is a video report by RT’s Ruptly News Agency which shows the US servicemen leading a convoy of Stryker armoured vehicles in the Syrian countryside:

US ground assets have been deployed this week in Syria, presumably to link-up with US-backed militia, including the newly created ‘Syrian Democratic Forces’ (SDF) who include regiments of the YPG Kurdish “People’s Protection Units”, positioned near the outskirts of Manbij.
According military blog SOFREP, call signs indicate that this US battalion is based out of Fort Benning, Georgia. “By looking at the call sign tag on the back of the Stryker, it is evident that this is 3rd Ranger Battalion out of Fort Benning, Georgia, which has been confirmed via other sources.”
This clearly indicates that the Trump Administration is in the process of actively building up its military presence in Syria. To what degree is unclear, although early indications suggest a similar commitment to what the US has laid-on in Mosul in their joint operation to retake that Iraqi city away from ISIS control.
Currently, the US is at odds with NATO ally Turkey over the Pentagon’s support of the Kurdish YPG whom Turkey has designated as a terrorist organization. This could be a point of contention going forward, as the US, Russia and Turkey conduct trilateral negotiations this week in Antalya, Turkey this week.
