Just the news I didn't need on a Monday morning

Russian troops take over abandoned US airbase in northern Syria: report

Russian troops took over the Kobani airfield in northern Syria last week, one day after U.S. troops moved out, according to a report.

I know we are re-jigging our troops in Syria and this sort of thing was bound to happen. Still, it is depressing. I don't like giving a mm to those guys.
