On Wednesday Russia launched its first air strike in Syria and has told the United States to get out of its way, according to a U.S. official.
Russian bombers attacked targets in Homs. It was unclear which of the rebel groups fighting Syria’s government was the target.
As the strikes were taking place, Russia’s government formally approved a request from President Vladimir Putin to authorize the use of Russian troops in Syria.
“Russia will factually be the only country to carry out this operation on the legitimate basis of the request of the legitimate government of Syria,” said Dmitri S. Peskov, Putin’s spokesman.
Russia also wanted the U.S. to stand down in northern Syria so that Russia can attack ISIS targets, according to sources who spoke to Fox News.
“If you have forces in the area we request they leave,” a Russian general told his American counterparts, according to Fox.
U.S. forces did not honor the request. A U.S. led coalition has launched thousands of airstrikes in Syria in the past year, and the United States has armed and trained some of the anti-Assad rebels.
“We still conducted our normal strike operations in Syria today,” a senior Pentagon official told Fox News. “We did not and have not changed our operations.”
However, on Tuesday, Defense Department spokesman Peter Cook said that U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter has directed that the U.S. air effort not conflict with the Russian military.
Russia recently established a base of operations in Syria in an effort to prop up the government of dictator Bashar al Assad.
“The Russians are no longer advising, but co-leading the war in Syria,” one intelligence official told Fox News.

The US should listen. If Russia says they will take care of ISIS, they will. Isis was created by CIA, its no secret anymore.
only God knows what will happen soon, but there is signs that terrible things are in the way:
1/-a killshot by mid November caused by comet Catalina, a power black out globaly, chaos and civil riots everywhere, and of course a total economic crash.
2/-the US along with the social unrest will litterally freeze, it will be the worst winter ever and there will not be a new presidential election.
3/-by spring Israel will litterally eliminate Palestinians, a horrible genocide and they will build their third temple. Russia will be the one to ignite WWIII.
4/- The war will last about 4 years, and then,
5/-finally by 2020 planet x will clean everything and will put mankind on the right way again, as it always did.
Russia will be the one igniting WWIII???????????
How many military bases does the U.S. have surrounding Russia and China?
Who is plundering entire countries, killing citizens and overthrowing governments? Who is the real agressor? Yes the zionistic, corpocratic, sick, decadent US of A, that brings “democracy” to every country, even if they don’t want it.
And if one says: “Enough. I’ve had it, I’m fed up with it”; he’s the bully?
Shame on you!.
You are true , the US is responsible of many mistakes, though your style is typical of Russian RT agent
actually I like what Russia is doing, it’s always a good thing to have equilibrium, two polarities are”healthy”in politics…Putin seems to care about “ethics”, difficult to believe with an ex KGB…he doesn’t yet know that he will throw the first stone, it was written longtime ago in many prophecies….but humanity will recover, we always did, and we will do again it’ s difficult to kill the human race, many have tried but they always fail, we will one day colonise the universe and meet GOD in person
