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
and also get another strike from the allied coalition
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.
They can't just sit idle when they're winning.
but SDF is taking care of ISIS in that region... theyd be better off heading south... or north to idlib
ISIS is basically dead as a conventional force.
I see that Turkey is now occupying a huge chunk of northern syria
in their "operation olive branch"
That little pocket that both sides are spit-roasting is their last piece of inhabited territory.
Erdogan: "we're going to create a safe zone in Syria... by killing everyone in sight"
He needs an external enemy.
Erdogan?
Yes. And there are Kurds on that side of the border.
what do you think will happen in 2021?
When there is a new leader in Syria
Too far out to predict anything in such a mixed up chaotic situation.
I mean literally Assad cannot run for office...
because of the ammendments parliament made to the constitution in 2012
whereby a president can only run for two 7yr terms max
I don't think laws are going to stop anyone here.
I guess he got round the loophole in 2014 by saying the amendment is new .. so this is his "second" term
if he goes against the syrian constitution he will lose all credibility
he was lucky enough to find 4 parties for form a coalition with him to get the 168 seats in parliament he needed
it looks like maybe Russia will concentrate on the north east while Syria handles the south east... its getting close to Israel tho... he wants to be careful
Tim you should go along with it 😛 .. change your name to Bond, Tim Bond
There's a possible flash point between the Russians and the Turks in that heavy bombardment of Al Lataminah area is rather close to a new Turk FOB near Morek, astride the main road north. Assuming the SAA takes the Al Lataminah, they'll have to deal with Turks next - either diplomatically or militarily.
I think until they get most of syria locked down... they should just concentrate of stopping any incursions into Aleppo, but who knows whats on their minds
any rebels they've ever beat they sent them all to Idlib... I imagine thats an extremely overcrowded place right now... and Assad let them keep all their personal weapons
Hey Tim, Fancy a trip to Idlib? 😛
Don't tell me... your submarine car is currently on the fritz
There are virtually no western journalists in the entire country.
First of all it's a meat grinder for anyone near areas of active fighting. Second of all no one wants to let randos cross the border. Getting in is extremely difficult as is not dying.
Which is a shame as it means when stuff like the recent missile strike happens no one has any hope of getting the truth of the matter. You just have to decide which narrative you like best.
haha, Tim works for Fox now apparently 😛
Congrats on the new position, Tim!
she isnt even arguing
and she argued against herslef

I'm still not entirely sure who abby martin is but my experience of joe rogan has been that he's fine until he gets into debates with people he doesn't like or disagree with him.
Then it just gets emotional and he starts tripping up. Basically I kinda figured this would be a disaster from the getgo.
