2018-05-04 12:05:10 UTC  

my response

2018-05-04 12:05:13 UTC  

I wonder what Russia offered the FSA to not only surrender... but theyre now helping put up Russian flags in N.Homs

2018-05-04 12:05:14 UTC  

scroll to comments

2018-05-04 12:07:02 UTC  

mis-spelled good

2018-05-04 12:07:25 UTC  

Oh boy the very first comment under yours is uh.

2018-05-04 12:07:28 UTC  

Something else.

2018-05-04 12:08:46 UTC  

hmm I gave it a thumbs up... about a minute later refreshed... its on 0 :/

@wacka That ISIS pocket near the Iraq border contains a bridge over the Euphrates. Important since the one in Deir ez-Zor has been destroyed.

2018-05-04 12:09:24 UTC  

So it's not so much the SAA and SDF teaming up to kill ISIS so much as them both trying to push out remnants to capture the bridge.

2018-05-04 12:09:42 UTC  

theres a rumour that a staged chemical attack has been in the works since April 23rd in Dier Ez-zor

2018-05-04 12:10:01 UTC  

not sure how credible it is... it was from a russian source

2018-05-04 12:10:17 UTC  

but if we see one in the near future...

2018-05-04 12:11:37 UTC  

Quite possible. SAA failed to make any headway after they crossed near there, and their pontoon bridge was destroyed. They might be preparing to gas the SDF (since their conventional advance failed), and then claim the SDF gassed themselves as a false flag.

2018-05-04 12:11:53 UTC  

Maskirovka.

2018-05-04 12:12:17 UTC  

There are so many layers of deception in anything the Russians say or do that even they have a hard time parsing it.

2018-05-04 12:12:38 UTC  

I look at the motive though... the SAA and SDF have only had minor clashes.. it would be silly to make them a majorr enemy now

2018-05-04 12:13:05 UTC  

and also get another strike from the allied coalition

2018-05-04 12:13:11 UTC  

Why? SAA has basically recaptured every other part of the country. To make any further advances they either have to clash with SDF or Turks.

2018-05-04 12:13:26 UTC  

They can't just sit idle when they're winning.

2018-05-04 12:14:12 UTC  

but SDF is taking care of ISIS in that region... theyd be better off heading south... or north to idlib

2018-05-04 12:14:26 UTC  

ISIS is basically dead as a conventional force.

2018-05-04 12:14:28 UTC  

I see that Turkey is now occupying a huge chunk of northern syria

2018-05-04 12:14:41 UTC  

in their "operation olive branch"

2018-05-04 12:15:03 UTC  

That little pocket that both sides are spit-roasting is their last piece of inhabited territory.

2018-05-04 12:15:17 UTC  

Erdogan: "we're going to create a safe zone in Syria... by killing everyone in sight"

2018-05-04 12:15:58 UTC  

He needs an external enemy.

2018-05-04 12:16:11 UTC  

Erdogan?

2018-05-04 12:16:18 UTC  

Yes. And there are Kurds on that side of the border.

2018-05-04 12:16:29 UTC  

what do you think will happen in 2021?

2018-05-04 12:16:47 UTC  

When there is a new leader in Syria

2018-05-04 12:17:18 UTC  

Too far out to predict anything in such a mixed up chaotic situation.

2018-05-04 12:17:39 UTC  

I mean literally Assad cannot run for office...

2018-05-04 12:17:59 UTC  

because of the ammendments parliament made to the constitution in 2012

2018-05-04 12:18:29 UTC  

whereby a president can only run for two 7yr terms max

2018-05-04 12:18:53 UTC  

I don't think laws are going to stop anyone here.

2018-05-04 12:18:58 UTC  

I guess he got round the loophole in 2014 by saying the amendment is new .. so this is his "second" term
