Curious, so CNN and others are now Russian propaganda outlets? #doesnotcompute

At best it's a fake news story from CNN to try to damage Trumps reputation? Needless to say, i found it interesting enough to post it.

Oh I am not faulting you for posting it. I’m just pointing out that the primary story line it tells is really not borne out fully by what is really happening. It is an administrative issue which will be resolved easily, not an embarrassment one of the President being rebuked by the Pentagon. The Pentagon is sending troops and will send troops. Indeed, many are already there. This storyline without the full explanation is manipulated for propagandistic purposes (and yes, that includes the other organizations which reported it poorly as well, though they are not pushing te Kremlins interests as Sputnik is).
