Did you hear?!? American troops have engaged Russian forces in combat in Syria! It's true! Here's the footage: Darn intro text got cut off! I am still not good at video editing! Okay, okay, that wasn't actual combat footage, but footage from one of my recent sessions in DICE's Battlefield 3, a first person shooter that revolves around American and Russian troops fighting it out in the Middle East. So that wasn't real...but I find it a strangely compelling vision of just what a larger international conflict might look like in Syria.
Because Edmund Burke would have been a gamer....
