mckenzie: you asked about id confliction. the russians don't have a veto on anything we do, that is probably the best way to describe it. we are not describing -- we are not cooperating with them in syria. we don't want to get into a fight with them. they don't want to get into a fight with us. the best way to do that is share information about what you are doing, carefully metered out by us and i am sure the same within. but they have no veto over what we do. at the same time, we'll it to our servicemen and women and our coalition partners to do our best to simplify the environment in which we are going to fight and the deconstruction mechanisms allow us to do that. as to the last part of the question, i can't help you with what the syrians are saying or not saying. dana: the russian disinformation campaign has already begun. there is been a 2000% increase in russian trolls in the last 24 hours. therefore, we will keep you all abreast of the fact moving forward. thank you, very much. reporter: general, does this operation ha
