Its clear they made a big mistake. Of course the Russians use the Wagner group so they can have deniability. Which puts a major dent in Ethereals thought process about we have no idea what the Russians will do.

Yea, I already read that. It provides no independent verification of anything.
US Central Command said on Tuesday that US forces came under fire from a tank, and that they responded with three hours of intense strikes from drones and B-52 bombers against the attackers, which it described as a unit of 300 to 500 fighters.
Air force Lt Gen Jeffrey Harrigan said US advisers had been in an operating base alongside units of the mostly-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the course of anti-Isis operations, when they came under tank fire. He added that the senior officer at the base called in airstrikes in response.
Harrigan said the attacking forces were fighting on the side of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, but said he would “not speculate on the composition of this force, or whose control they were under”......snip~

The Conflict Intelligence Team, a group of well-respected Russian online researchers, said it had found three Twitter posts announcing the deaths of Russian mercenaries in Syria on 7 February.
“It is beyond doubt that this incident indeed took place. It is notable that the posts about their deaths emerged rather quickly – relatives and colleagues often learn of Russian mercenaries’ deaths weeks or even months after the fact,” the group said in a post.
Grigory Yavlinsky, an opposition politician, said that if Russian citizens had been killed in large numbers, Vladimir Putin and other officials owed the country an explanation.
“I demand an explanation as to why Russian nationals take part in ground military operations in Syria, despite the statements by the president and defense minister that Russian military formations will be withdrawn from this country,” Yavlinsky said......snip~ Guardian link.

They are just repeating the claims of government officials.

The Kurds, The Israelis, Syrians, The US, The Russians. Oh and not all of them are going by US Officials and what they are saying.
Of course, Lavrov mouthing off puts the reality into the perspective of what it is.

Not living up to the hype lol. They're men on the ground. Maybe in a fire fight against other guys on the ground they are pretty good. Who knows? But under three hours of bombing I expect they are going to be killed. I'd expect 200 US servicemen on the ground to be killed by 3 hours of B-52 and drone bombing. Maybe they're not "badass" too.

Now that it has been established as to how the incident took place.
Message to Assad, the Iranians, the Russians, and the Turks.....BO the Peep isn't the President anymore. If you fire on US troops.....we will put that $#@!slap upside your domes. Make no mistake about that!

You called it Right Crepitus.
Wagner Group
The Wagner Group, also known as PMC Wagner, ChVK Wagner, or CHVK Vagner, is a Russian paramilitary organisation. Some have described it as a private military company, whose contractors have reportedly taken part in various conflicts, including operations in the Syrian Civil War on the side of the Syrian government as well as, from 2014 until 2015, in the War in Donbass in Ukraine aiding the separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Others are of the opinion that ChVK Wagner is really a unit of the Russian Ministry of Defence in disguise, which is used by the Russian government in conflicts where deniability is called for.
