    Capturing that hill, Al-Qara is the name I think, was a good move. It gives them pretty good fire control over the terrorist supply line.

    WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — A US airstrike on a Daesh weapons facility near Raqqa, Syria may have resulted in civilian casualties, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on Wednesday.

    "Reports indicate that what appeared to be a non-military vehicle drove into the target area after the weapon was released from the aircraft," CENTCOM stated. "The vehicle's occupants may have perished as a result of the strike."

    some good news

    Daraya to be handed to the Syrian Army following agreement.
    finally this place will soon be liberated, and some of the terrorists have used the amnesty offer given by Assad, on the bad side the rest of the terrorists will be allowed to travel north to terrorist held areas. And with Eastern Ghouta slowly collapsing this is a good chance for the SAA to send the troops from Daraya to the Ghouta front to help speed things up, i think by the end of the year Damascus could be fully liberated at this rate

    Hopefully this does not turn into another Waer situation where under the agreement terrorists are supposed to leave Waer and then they relegated on it.

    Why prevent them at all?

    Kurds have become massive problem and they have openly attacked SAA. They even shelled Castello Road for Christ's sakes. Turkish army is more interested in eradicating Kurds than anything else. Attacking SAA will compromise their core objective and put another freeze on relations with Russia. So let Turks do their thing up North, it's not like SAA can control that place now.

    And it will be easier down the road (10+ years) to get foreign military out of Syria than some locals who have legal right to be there. This way Turks are actually contributing to Syrian territorial integrity.

    Assad is probably laughing his ass off at Kurdish stupidity right now.

    It's the order of things, Kurds were too greedy, thus a deal was reached to keep them in check. this deal wasn't just Russia+Tukey. It clearly is Turkey+Russia+US as everyone (except some mild Russian protest) is letting the Kurds rot. YPG/SDf is opnely talking about betrayal. And worse Isis fought like hell to stall the Kurds in Manbij, here they left two weeks prior this shit. Clearly there is a problem of credibility for both Turkey and US.

    So much for the Turkish 'invasion'. This fits with earlier reports of FSA etc terrorists moving from all over the place to take part as the money was better than they were getting.

    Although Turkish media is covering the Turkish state’s occupation of Jarablus, Syria as a ‘great military operation,’ the villagers of Jarablus state that there is a military deployment in the region, not an active operation.

    The villagers reported that ISIS gangs have been crossing from Jarablus into Turkey in groups of ten to 15 people and used private vehicles for transportation. The villagers stated that the gangs that arrived at Turkey were given different uniforms and sent back to Jarablus, and emphasized that Turkey’s operation was a ‘mise en scene’.

    Really interesting take on the situation that Fortrus has put up, with some good comments. Well worth the read

    Basically what's going on is a lot deeper than it looks, with the US conned into helping Turkey/Russia/Syria/Iran forestall a Kurdistan. If true could possibly be another genius strategy moment out of Moscow.

    To explain, as of the moment of writing (11.30am MSK), neither Moscow, Tehran, nor even Damascus has issued any statement condemning Turkey’s military intervention, and the website of the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) is noticeably silent about this development. All of this is very strange if one accepts the assumption that Turkey’s moves constitute an ‘invasion’ of Syria, since while the Kremlin critics might invent all sorts of explanations for why Moscow isn’t saying anything, less people can attribute a semi-plausible reason to why Tehran and Damascus aren’t publicly rabid with fury right now. Though it’s true that Turkey is even coordinating part of its operation with the assistance of US air support, there’s actually a novel, contextual touch to that which needs to be further elaborated on.

    Not from me, from another author but this is a must read.

    Washington will do anything and I mean anything to retain Turkey in its camp which Edorgan is surely aware of (cost and benefits wise). At this stage the battle against the kurds in Syria by Turkey might be switch to regime change or fragmentation plan B by America, and no doubt Russia will not confront the US militarily in Syria so Axis of Resistance better prepared for the worse, the possibility of America's (through Turkey) occupation of Syria. Turkey will not really go after Daesh but the kurds who will put up resistance against the Sultan army for as long as it takes. Here's where I believe the kurds and Assad can work together because the kurds agreeing to stay within the Syria system will make them Assad ally if need arises to push the Turks (America) out of Syria militarily, but I hope Washington do not get there first by making a compromise between the kurds and Turkey and create a kurds false group which can continue to create skirmishes here and there for Turkey to continue to justify her occupation not withstanding the agreement reached between Syria and Turkey before the invasion (Washington only act according to agreed terms when it suits her interest, the Russians and Iranians knows better). Whichever way this play out the empire is still far from quenching its taste for blood in Syria.

    I agree with this sentiment and also medo's post above. Several Pentagon and CIA insiders have stated over the years that the chaos among the 'rebels' and islamists in Syria is a result of America losing control of its vassals -- primarily Turkey and Saudi Arabia. So the US will do everything in its power to keep Turkey within its sphere, which is why American media outlets are already praising Turkey's intervention 'against ISIS' (lol).

    I've yet to read a convincing argument that Turkey's invasion is good for either Syria or Russia. It removed the POSSIBILITY of a Kurdish state in northern Syria, yes, but replaced it with a CERTAINTY that any land taken by the Turko-terrorist alliance will never come under the control of Damascus. Once they have finished rebranding ISIS as FSA in North Aleppo, I suspect they'll promptly begin to attack SAA positions there as well.

    For your last statement, the Turkey backed terriosts will be easier to deal with than Kirds because Russia has more influence over Turkey, the Kurds if they get their Kurdistan will be a nightmare for Assad, Russia, Iran and Turkey.

    The only worrying thing now is the US will force the Kurds to go for Al-Raqqa, the SAA need to hurry up and go for Al-Raqqa.

    I have managed to acquire transcript of Kurdish communication in Hasakah from several days ago:

    Kurds: We shall stick our dicks in the blender.

    Everybody: Don't stick your dicks in the blender.

    Kurds: Too late...

    First of all...USA is not the personification of Evil! And not everyone in the world is a puppet of CIA and Co. Where are the trillion of dollars in abundance around? In Washington or the Arabic Peninsula??? The calculation is clear...who has the money in abundance, who has the motivation and who one will have the biggest profit? USA??? NO!!! The sunni arabic neighbors? YES!

    The conflict in Syria was not forced by the CIA, they just took only the opportunity to exacerbate conflict. You can give someone millions of dollars, but this makes not a jihadi of him! Syria was indeed not a peacefull and perfect place, Syria is something like a dictatorship, but a really soft one. Radical muslim organisations were sponsored since 70ies from wealthy patrons from arabic peninsula. The mix of dictatorship and radical organisations gave a explosive mix. With the beginning of the "revolution" the wealthy sheiks spent a lot of money to move syrian officers to flags getaway. I remember in the first months of the revolution the SAA lost nearly the half of officers, because of arabic money, hatred of Assad, whatever. The USA planned the "revolution" not 50 years ago, the USA have no masterplan!!! The USA are just acting, from day to day, the have no really plan for Syria, the only plan is to destabilize the area, there is no bigger plan behind.

    No one can say if the saudi arabs are the masters of the USA or otherwise in the syrian conflict! There are too many conflict parties involved with too many interests. And I can write, that the arab neighbors have more interest in a hardcore religious Syria, than the USA. USA is divided in many groups, some want the conflict with Russia others not (for example Clinton vs. Trump). Some groups in the us-adminisration view IS as a tool, other groups want to erradicate IS. The reality is really complex.

    One thing is sure...something in Turkey happened. First I thought the coup was just a show, maybe it was a show, but it showed Erdogan how much the West hates him, but Moscow reacted very cool and professional!

    Turkey can't act in Syria without the approval of Moscow!!! That's clear! And between SDF and Ankara to choose, Ankara is the more trustfull partner. And don't forget that Ankara is sovereign compared to the Kurds in Syria, the Kurds are US toilet paper! If the kurds can manage to connect the divided kurdish parts in Syria, they would become a real threat for Assad and for Erdogan.

    Turkey acts in a area far away from the combat zone of Aleppo and the best is...Ankara redeployed the jihadis now to the border region and let the jihadi pressure out of Aleppo. It will be a long really really long conflict, and personally I think Assad will go, not now but in a few years as a part of a political solution mediated through Russia, Iran and Turkey. No tears to cry, don't forget, not the person is important, the system is important Wink

Here's where I believe the kurds and Assad can work together because the kurds agreeing to stay within the Syria system will make them Assad ally if need arises to push the Turks (America) out of Syria militarily, but I hope Washington do not get there first by making a compromise between the kurds and Turkey and create a kurds false group which can continue to create skirmishes here and there for Turkey to continue to justify her occupation not withstanding the agreement reached between Syria and Turkey before the invasion (Washington only act according to agreed terms when it suits her interest, the Russians and Iranians knows better). Whichever way this play out the empire is still far from quenching its taste for blood in Syria.
    First of all...USA is not the personification of Evil! And not everyone in the world is a puppet of CIA and Co. Where are the trillion of dollars in abundance around? In Washington or the Arabic Peninsula??? The calculation is clear...who has the money in abundance, who has the motivation and who one will have the biggest profit? USA??? NO!!! The sunni arabic neighbors? YES!

    The conflict in Syria was not forced by the CIA, they just took only the opportunity to exacerbate conflict. You can give someone millions of dollars, but this makes not a jihadi of him! Syria was indeed not a peacefull and perfect place, Syria is something like a dictatorship, but a really soft one. Radical muslim organisations were sponsored since 70ies from wealthy patrons from arabic peninsula. The mix of dictatorship and radical organisations gave a explosive mix. With the beginning of the "revolution" the wealthy sheiks spent a lot of money to move syrian officers to flags getaway. I remember in the first months of the revolution the SAA lost nearly the half of officers, because of arabic money, hatred of Assad, whatever. The USA planned the "revolution" not 50 years ago, the USA have no masterplan!!! The USA are just acting, from day to day, the have no really plan for Syria, the only plan is to destabilize the area, there is no bigger plan behind.

    No one can say if the saudi arabs are the masters of the USA or otherwise in the syrian conflict! There are too many conflict parties involved with too many interests. And I can write, that the arab neighbors have more interest in a hardcore religious Syria, than the USA. USA is divided in many groups, some want the conflict with Russia others not (for example Clinton vs. Trump). Some groups in the us-adminisration view IS as a tool, other groups want to erradicate IS. The reality is really complex.

    One thing is sure...something in Turkey happened. First I thought the coup was just a show, maybe it was a show, but it showed Erdogan how much the West hates him, but Moscow reacted very cool and professional!

    Turkey can't act in Syria without the approval of Moscow!!! That's clear! And between SDF and Ankara to choose, Ankara is the more trustfull partner. And don't forget that Ankara is sovereign compared to the Kurds in Syria, the Kurds are US toilet paper! If the kurds can manage to connect the divided kurdish parts in Syria, they would become a real threat for Assad and for Erdogan.

    Turkey acts in a area far away from the combat zone of Aleppo and the best is...Ankara redeployed the jihadis now to the border region and let the jihadi pressure out of Aleppo. It will be a long really really long conflict, and personally I think Assad will go, not now but in a few years as a part of a political solution mediated through Russia, Iran and Turkey. No tears to cry, don't forget, not the person is important, the system is important Wink

    Level of ignorance here is over 9000.

    Turkey can't act without Moscows orders....The hell you on dude?.

    Do you really think Turkey entered syria on orders from Moscow? thats insanity flat out. Any land taken by the turks will never fall into syrian hands again. Ankara trustful please, you gotta be lacking to believe that. The kurds cannot defeat Turkey they will try and they will die.

    The Turks had Air support from the states, this shows the US is about to dump the kurds. Turkey is more important to the states then them, the kurds where always just a means to an end.

    Only hope the kurds have now is to ally with Assad once the US drops them their independent state is dead and has been dead. Turkey will seize more Syrian land this is guaranteed because they can get away with it.

    First of all...

    Turkey invaded Northern Iraq a dozen times, also under Saddams reign they smashed the Kurds in Northern Iraq. Is Northern Iraq now part of Turkey? They kicked kurdish asses a few times and the Kurds in Iraq are now very friendly towards Turkey.

    In Northern Syria Turkey has only strategic interest in weaken the Kurds, nothing more. The territory will not be direct in turkish hands, it will be handed over to so called "FSA", IS in other clothes. Turkey will NEVER, NEVER and i repeat NEVER fight the SAA! The rebels will be supported by Turkey, as they were supported before, if SAA manage to defeat them good, if not SAA is too weak. But Turkey will never go in direct confrontation with Syria and Russia. If Erdogan wanted to fight SAA he had done it before, before 2015, the date of russian intervention.

    Order is not approval!!! Turkey has no order from Moscow, but they has the approval Wink Weaken the Kurds is also in the interest of SAA and Russia, strong Kurds (SDF) means de facto independence. Turkey knows that Russia can arm the kurds really easy, even with tanks through SAA, so Turkey will not act against Russias will! Russia and Turkey are not allies, but at moment they are not really foes, no one piss the other off at moment!

    Of course Turkey is important to USA lol! they are member of NATO and Turkey is a bridge to middle east. What the Kurds have??? Dirty stones and rocks!
