    Post  JohninMK Sun Feb 18, 2018 10:36 pm



    Almost a month after Turkey’s launch of Operation Olive Branch in the northern Syrian district of Afrin, there is no clear outcome. Since the beginning of the campaign, Turkey’s post-Afrin objectives remained a matter of serious concern to other players — mainly Iran — whose reaction was to distance itself from supporting the Turkish assault while simultaneously refraining from supporting the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in the area.

    To Iran, Turkey’s intervention will only complicate the already-complicated situation in Syria and weaken the Sochi peace process that already witnessed a major setback in the Jan. 28 meeting in Russia, when the majority of the Syrian opposition boycotted the conference.

    As such, a meeting between the presidents of Turkey, Russia and Iran is expected to take place in Istanbul to discuss the latest development, but a clear time frame for this meeting has yet to be set. The trilateral meeting will follow a similar meeting that took place in Sochi on Nov. 22, 2017, and laid the framework for cooperation between the three states on the Syrian crisis.

    According to an Iranian official who spoke on condition of anonymity, Tehran has advised Ankara to be aware of being dragged into a war of attrition in Afrin. The official told Al-Monitor, “The point of view from Iran is that the Kurdish fighters have their lines of support, and many parties might want to see Turkey stuck in a quagmire. Therefore, it’s better to try to contain this adventure or else who knows how much it will drain the Turkish army.”

    Tehran is convinced that the Kurdish fighters in Afrin aren’t acting on their own and are receiving generous assistance from various sides. Yet it’s also clear that any serious setback to Turkey in Afrin would mean a new status quo in the north of Syria, and thus also renewed hopes for the Kurds to revive their demand to rule over a coherent entity along the Turkish border. Besides, in the case of a Turkish failure, there will also be much anticipation of a stronger US footprint in Syria that will pose a threat to Iran and its allies’ presence in nearby Aleppo.

    The three pillars of the Astana process — namely Russia, Turkey and Iran — are each on a different side in the battle for Afrin, despite some intersections between these actors. This might be a factor that could cause cracks in the framework of the joint path that emerged between the trio in the past few months as a serious attempt to reach a peaceful solution for the ongoing conflict in Syria. While Turkey is on the offensive, Russia is trying to preserve its ties with Ankara while maintaining strong relations with the Kurds.

    One military source near Afrin told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity, “The Russians are mastering the game of contradictions; while not showing opposition to the Turkish side, they didn’t desert the Kurds [and leave them] alone in this battle.” The source added, “The Russians are transporting Kurdish fighters from Hasakah and Qamishli to Afrin. Besides, it would be interesting to know how the Kurds got their anti-tank missiles.”

    The Iranians had been trying to broker a deal between the Kurds and the Syrian army to secure the latter’s deployment in the area alongside Kurdish fighters and some groups that are allied with Iran. The Iranian effort is aimed at exiting fighting with the best results possible; preserving its position as a friend to both the Syrian Kurds and Turkey; and, at the same time, barricading the path for other parties who might want to invest in the fighting in Afrin to enhance their position in the Syrian crisis — namely, the United States.

    The military source near Afrin told Al-Monitor that alongside the Kurdish fighters defending the city were some Arab Syrian fighters who are known to be affiliated with Iran. The source explained that those militants were responsible for making sure that the Turkish troops don’t cross toward other areas and therefore were armed with anti-tank projectiles to prevent any such incursions. There are serious concerns on both the Syrian and Iranian sides that Turkey might aim to mix the cards once again in northern Syria and take the whole situation back to square one.

    Separately, a Turkish military convoy reached the hill of al-Eis to the southwest of the city of Aleppo on Feb. 5, but only after being attacked by militants on two occasions. According to an official Turkish statement, two soldiers were killed when militants launched a rocket and mortar attack on the troops. However, the statement did not specify who the militants were. The Turkish entry into the area was aimed at setting up a new observation point as part of the Astana agreement with Iran and Russia on the creation of de-escalation zones. Under the tripartite deal — aimed at reducing violence — Turkey reportedly agreed to set up a dozen observation posts in Idlib and neighboring provinces.

    Yet, despite the agreement, such observation posts might have a negative impact on the Syrian government forces' advance toward Idlib. It is therefore not clear how both Iran and Russia are going to deal with the situation, and whether the de-escalation zones are going to survive the apparent conflict of interests. Once again, this gives a clear indication of the level of mistrust in the field among the big players in the Syrian conflict — and the impact of such mistrust on the bigger picture in the war-torn country.

    Israel Believes Destroyed Up to 50% of Syrian Air Defenses in Strike - Source

    anyone still have doubts of Israeli propaganda? Laughing

    israel in just one day.. did what they could not do in 7 years of the war... amazing.. Laughing

    Bombing a dozen of locations in Syria last week ,with a couple of dozen of missiles with 5 planes
    was enough to take down the hundreds of air defenses sites that Syria have in Syria.  Laughing


    Apparently Syria army grouped together all their airdefenses in same place. for Israeli
    to bomb them.. and the mobile airdefenses their drivers ,were drunk with RUssian
    VOdka that day and forgot to constantly move their mobile air defenses.. and this all
    amazing performance happened from long range distance ,that pilots did not knew
    what really the missiles hit or if they miss the intended target.

    Syrian military in the other hand openly said ..most of the missile attacks that Israel launched
    were Intercepted.. about 80% of them.. from ~20 to 30 missiles..(forgot the exact number) and that the ones that managed to fly ,most did not hit the intended targets , and only caused minor damages to one base and
    injury to one soldier and another of a civilian from a missile that hit a residential area..

    it just remember me the story of NATO performance in Serbia.. they claimed
    they destroyed ~95% of Serbian air defenses.. but later turned to be completely the
    opposite.. barely scratched the paint.. and instead they were bombing same targets
    over and over and over... again because of Decoys Serbians deployed to Confuse NATO
    anti-radiation missiles.. By strategically placing out of service scrap yard tanks and trash cans in
    places all over Serbia to confuse NATO missiles.. and that was tactics developed several decades
    ago...  Wink

    That was a good, short overview of the past and developing situation in Ghouta.

    Watching that video led me to finding this interview from about a year ago by 21st Cent. Wire with alleged western ex-sf soldier "Patrice." So, as it's told, Patrice was in Aleppo in 2011 to pursue a business opportunity when the Syrian festivities kicked off in earnest. He attempted two dashes for the Turkish border and was nearly killed each time. So he ended up stuck and under siege back in Aleppo. He had no choice but join and fight with local, loyalist forces against the rogues gallery we're all familiar with, al-Nusra, al-Zinki, etc.

    His account is very detailed, enough so to enhance credibility, imo. He comes across as an emotionally controlled person, but there is still a gravitas in his retelling, particularly in what he says at the end. This also lends credibility to the story. But, idk, this is a year old, perhaps it has since been discredited. Frankly I hope not because I found his observations and the perspective he formed from this experience to be very interesting.

    Anyhow, if you were to listen at least a bit of it, could you try to place his accent? I really can't. It sounds like it could be a combination of things.
