Syrian Civil War: News #10

Bases, population, client state and energy interests are in the bag.

Shia Crescent project (I will have to Google that thing in more detail) is for all points and purposes dead. But that is Iranian problem that does not affect Russia in any way whatsoever. It actually facilitates improvement of relations with Israel (mid east country that can actually be described as competent).

Saudis may get to play in the sand for couple of years but given the fact that oil will be staying below 50$ for decades to come it will be their last game before they inevitably become Ukraine of Arab world.

When and where were RuAF and/or SAF planes 'interdicted' by F-22's? What were the circumstances?

Seig, your nato is not omnipotent by any stretch of the imagination. You are not the only one here who has interacted with that entity. Any US boots on the ground, air assets or other hardware in Syria is in clear violation of both international and US law and opens up not only the senior officers and government officials who ordered US servicemen in to Syria but the soldiers who obeyed that illegal order to criminal prosecution. US, UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany et al were not invited to nor given permission to be in the Sovereign Country of Syria. Every single action taken there by these and other entities and servicemen in Syria without permission of the Government of Syria is a criminal act.

These incidents occurred in northeastern Syria, specifically Al Hasakah.

So that's where SAA in Aleppo was concentrated. Well played chaps.

I guess I was wrong to quickly to judge them for loosing Al Assad and 1070 in Western Aleppo (which as I've read have been contained pretty well). While there is criticism to be made, eventually Aleppo is not in great danger. Dare I assume this offensive has Russia/Iran written all over it? IS did not expect it and I'll venture to claim that this, along with progress in the Ghoutas counters yesterday's AQ lite gains.

Hama shows steady progress as well. SAA secured more ground north of Souran.

Great news but I just wish for once that SAA intercepts and takes out those SVIBEDs before the reach their positions. That is all..
