>>200941 >Yeah, coz watermelon seller is totally not on pair wirh merchant's scheming. not as much as kurdistant though erdoggo is more concerned about squashing kurdoids than removing assad while kurdistan will be subservient to JewSA and israel against assad and ayyran (kinda like the poland of the ME :^) )

Pretty sure the tribals are friendly with Damascus now because the gulfniggers told them to be. The idea is for SDF to lose another card and budge to Damascus before Damascus have no other choice/get coerced by Russia/Iran to be friendly with Ankara.

>>200986 >that Bashar's edit with Brendan's hair and face expression Gulfniggers invest in Syria, NE Syria returns to Damascus, wahhabi backing stops and they get to join the Arab League. Sounds good. Other option is sucking muslim brotherhood and roach dick for NW Syria. I dunno, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but there's definitely a hidden conflict over the future of Syria and whatever side is chosen will undoubtedly have some positive economic impact.

Turkish-backed rebels prepare to fight one another in Afrin
BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:20 P.M.) – The Turkish-backed rebels are preparing to fight one another inside the Afrin region of Aleppo after tensions recently increased between the Jaysh Al-Islam and Ahrar Sharqiyah factions.
According to local reports, both Turkish-backed rebel groups have closed off the roads leading to Afrin’s city-center as all parties expect a fierce battle to breakout soon.

>>202047 In your opinion will these latest talks end up in another ceasefire or are the Turks fed up with trying and failing to control HTS and agree to the operation?

>>202077 That's the point, it's a coping mechanism attempting to make it look like the Talis were vying for peace because they got BTFO. Screw the pride, what matters in the message is there'll finally be peace.
>>201935 I don't think the SAA will attack Idlib any time soon. Even though they have a cb, they'll suffer far too much aggressive expansion and another US/EU coalition might form against them - which is especially dangerous since the US is far higher than them on military tech. Having a 6/4/6/3 general (Suheil) won't count for much. Also, unlike the Daraa or Ghouta offensives, Syria doesn't have that much manpower left. They should diplo annex the Kurdish areas first then they'll have enough manpower and admin points to take over and core all of Idlib.
>cb huh? >they'll suffer far too much aggressive expansion uhm? >another US/EU coalition might form against them - which is especially dangerous since the US is far higher than them on military tech Burgers on the way out, EU is a lolcow in the region and Russia is around. >Having a 6/4/6/3 general (Suheil) won't count for much Suheil is just a figurehead, Russian generals are in control. >unlike the Daraa or Ghouta offensives, Syria doesn't have that much manpower left Surely you jest? Capturing the pockets meant most of the manpower positioned there were freed up for other fronts and there has been a ton of involuntary conscription in the areas freed by SAA/reconciled rebels joined SAA. They just discharged every mandatory conscripts over the age of 42 because they aren't needed. >They should diplo annex the Kurdish areas first meme >then they'll have enough admin points to take over and core all of Idlib admin points? wat
You saw the Abu Duhur offensive, before they freed up all the manpower surrounding the Homs/Hama, Qalamoun and Daraa pockets, the SAA melted through HTS like a knife through hot butter.

>>202131 >>202124 Lots of fan maps are implying that ISIS controls the Baghuz cliffs without even controlling the road(s) up to Jabal Baghuz from Al-Baghuz Fawqani. That's simply impossible, either they control Jabal Baghuz or they are using the road to and from Fawqani-Tahtani under the cliff (i think the road under the cliff is the case). But before believing any unofficial reports of ISIS re-capturing anything, lets remember they have zero technicals left.
>>202181 Yellow = road(s) on the mountain black = you get the point The road underneath the cliff is so close that i suspect anyone trying to fire down would create a pretty hefty silhouette for people down below to target.
>>202125 >>202128 >it is just normal that Moscow will not tolerate the presence of terrorist groups near a nuclear site. >the security of such weapons is a priority.
>putting your nuclear weapons at risk of terrorist attacks instead of just keeping them where you know they're safe. >implying there aren't other, less dangerous ways to deal with Idlib. This is why I call BS. Those nukes are far safer in Russia, and everyone knows it. Besides, deploying nukes to Syria would give the Western propaganda machine great ammo to work with - "AGGRESSIVE PUTIN IS THREATENING EVERYONE IN THE REGION WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS!" "ISRAEL IS THREATENED BY AGGRESSIVE NUCLEAR PUTIN!" There's no need for those nukes: Assad has de-facto won the war, and Russia is there to stay until Assad tells them to leave. Besides, Russia isn't gonna use nukes save for sheer self-preservation, so that would make deploying those nukes a symbolic but largely useless and possibly dangerous move, innit?
Plans for Russian-Turkish Offensive Against Nusra in Syria’s Idlib
A Turkish military delegation was in Moscow on Saturday to discuss joint measures in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib, amid signs that the two countries would launch a military operation against al-Nusra Front.
Informed Russian sources told Asharq Al-Awsat on Friday that Moscow is working with Turkey to set the stage for a joint offensive in Idlib, which is mainly controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (previously known as al-Nusra Front).
Meanwhile, a Russian source said that Moscow and the Turkish delegation were likely discussing “military and technical details” of such an offensive.
>>202250 >opening gaza's ports he's no in charge in gaza tho. hamas threw his people from buildings lmao.
>smuggling weapons in palestine lol. no he can't do that. he's not bibi's puppet. he has lots of quarrels with hamas. even pally's can't stand each other.
>>202252 ?? he controls everything in (non Israeli controlled) Palestine?? Israel doesn't have a say what happens in Ramallah or whatever. normally there aren't any idf forces there either. he's the rais, not sure how smuggling weapons has to do anything to do with it.
>>202254 yeah but ultimately he's only in control of things israel has no use for especially considering he can't do shit about areas occupied by settlers+idf if tomorrow bibi says israel needs to take over ramallah for security reasons, the only thing abbas can do is screech autistically
>>202256 >if tomorrow bibi says israel needs to take over ramallah for security reasons, the only thing abbas can do is screech autistically Sure, but without genociding its entire population that would be quite a terrible move. imagine half a million pally's with blue ID's able to enter Tel Aviv at will. de-facto Israel won't take over any Pally-majority city or town, it's counter productive.
>>202257 the point i was trying to make is that abbas won't do shit to defend Palestinians interests and he's more of a controlled opposition put in place by israel in order to "calm down" Palestinians by giving them the feeling that someone's fighting for them (but in truth he's just a cuck who would suck bibi's dick to stay in charge instead of actually committing to fighting israel)
>>202258 > he's more of a controlled opposition put in place by israel doubt they'd put a Holocaust denier in charge willingly.
>in order to "calm down" Palestinians by giving them the feeling that someone's fighting for them I think that's what Pally leaders generally did in history. deep down they know they had no chance but someone had to keep the morale up. as I said before imo they are stalling and buying time until they're able to overwhelm Israeli population.
>>202261 >doubt they'd put a Holocaust denier in charge willingly. small price to pay for buying social peace >I think that's what Pally leaders generally did in history. deep down they know they had no chance but someone had to keep the morale up. >as I said before imo they are stalling and buying time until they're able to overwhelm Israeli population. fair enough btw how do you rate abbas vs arafat? which one was the least tame/more of an obstacle to israel?
>>202262 Arafat pre 1994 was hardcore, no doubt. he makes Abbas look like a soyboy in comparison. after he signed the accords he became softer but I think he genuinely liked Rabin .
>>202239 >(T)FSA will join forces to attack the remaining uncucked by Turkey FSA elements alongside the SAA and russians in an offensive to take Idlib. give me a fucking break. >inb4 Turkey will solo their part without FSA cucks cannonfodder help. >>202167 I have wondered about this >>202166 as well snus; you could have several motives to log all this, though it is possibly a little late to see this as an all encompassing oevre of your works, but others remain, like what that anglo said. >>202267 so it's not actually flares then or are the iranians just getting bored?
and had horrible reaction. sharp pain pretty much everywhere. thought it was side effects and took it for a week but had to stop cause it was getting real bad. improved since then. weird thing is I took it before (not together) and didn't have any problem or side effect. so I think it's something else, although the packaging looks legit.
Eastern Euphrates battle map update: ISIS in control of Baghouz Tahtani
BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:30 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) released several photos this weekend that showed their fighters still inside the town of Baghouz Tahtani in the eastern region of the Euphrates River Valley.
As shown in the photos below, the Islamic State militants can still be seen fighting at the Baghouz Tahtani front, which is located at the southern part of the terrorist group’s eastern Euphrates pocket:
While ISIS has managed to hold onto Baghouz Tahtani, they find themselves in deep trouble in the northern part of the eastern Euphrates pocket as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are close to capturing the town of Murashida.
Once Murashida is captured, the Syrian Democratic Forces can shift their attention to both Baghouz Fouqani and Baghouz Tahtani.

Syrian Army spy releases daring footage from Turkish-backed rebel HQ (video)
BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:20 P.M.) – A Syrian Arab Army (SAA) spy released footage from the headquarters of the Turkish-backed National Liberation Front (NLF) this week.
The Syrian Army spy does not reveal the location of the National Liberation Front’s base, but he does deliver a message from the site as reports of a future operation continue.
The official social media account of the Tiger Forces released the short footage on Saturday:

>>202339 >Hmm, interesting. so it's the difference between generic and other brands? not exactly see it as cigarettes they all have tobacco but some producers add certain chemicals to give it certain properties and other producers give different chemicals generics are cigarettes (with same tobacco) only they don't overcharge it because the brand isn't as popular (like coca cola vs pepsi) and also because they didn't have to pay for R&D and advertisements but you still have the same functioning drug with same effects so some people may be allergic to say excipient x so if the known brand uses it and generic don't then the person can only use the generic without having the allergy that they'd have if they used the known brand and vice versa >because my gastroscopy came back negative so they think i don't have anything maybe it actually is something else or maybe it's a false negative try a different lab/doc and if it's still negative then you don't have this sickness but another >it was false negative since i was on shitload of medicine weeks before the test maybe the drugs suppressed the bacteria to levels where it couldn't be detected but still was present in your stomach
>>202345 >so some people may be allergic to say excipient x so if the known brand uses it and generic don't then the person can only use the generic without having the allergy that they'd have if they used the known brand and vice versa Thanks, that makes sense actually. the drugs looks authentic, i thought it would be weird to go all that way to produce fakes with such esoteric medicine anyway.
>maybe the drugs suppressed the bacteria to levels where it couldn't be detected but still was present in your stomach exactly what i was thinking.
>try a different lab/doc and if it's still negative then you don't have this sickness but another yeah if it won't heal ill find a specialist. they're quite expensive is why i avoided it till now.
>>202354 >but private specialists aren't in the insurance in most cases. bruh do they think generalist can solve all cases and specialists are some sort of luxury doctors
>>202357 > it takes months to get appointment with them because they're overloaded. you do realize you're among the top countries with most docs per capita sad to see

BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:20 A.M.) – At approximately 11:30 P.M. (local time), the U.S. Coalition bombed the Syrian military’s positions near the Iraqi border.
Speaking to Al-Masdar this morning, a source said that the U.S. Coalition did not just attack an artillery field gun near Albukamal, but also, multiple Iranian military sites along the Iraqi border.
The source confirmed that two Syrian soldiers were badly wounded as a result of the attack; however, he could not state whether or not there were any Iranian casualties.

>>202544 >Seems like the Coalition wanted ISIS to occupy Al Bukamal so Burgeroids could magically appear there and cut the Baghdad-DeZ highway I dunno, destroying only one arty piece is a little tame and will definitely not have a big impact on the SAA/majoosi's ability to defend the city. My guess is they didn't want SAA randomly shelling and accidentally hitting SDF/their troops. ooooor, the artillery did hit something
>>202547 Well, the lack of info coming out of the pocket is peculiar and the reports of negotiation for surrender (SDF denied, but that doesn't mean there isn't negotiation still >>202497) tells alot. Three theories i can come up with on the fly, ranked after their believability: 1. SAA doesn't know the frontline and accidentaly shelled SDF (or near them atleast). 2. There's a ceasefire due to the negotiations and SAA shelling made ISIS demand the shelling stop before they talk. 3. The current fight is a charade and SDF/US forces are assisting ISIS to cross the river, possibly to reach the Homs/DeZ desert.
>>202556 1 is least believable because while SAA might not know the exact frontline, it's retarded to shell the frontline positions between two factions that aren't you when there are better targets behind the frontlines. Case in point, Iraqis shelling ISIS behind the frontlines. 2 has some merit to it 3 is most believable, especially with this twatter post >>202559
>>202561 >it's retarded to shell the frontline positions between two factions that aren't you when there are better targets behind the frontlines. >Case in point, Iraqis shelling ISIS behind the frontlines. I didn't necessarily mean they were aiming for what they percieve as the frontline. I meant that since SAA doesn't know the frontline, they also don't know where to limit their shelling to. Maybe they believed all of Baghuz Fawqani was ISIS controlled whereas SDF might actually have presence in some parts of the village.
>>202563 >I didn't necessarily mean they were aiming for what they percieve as the frontline. I meant that since SAA doesn't know the frontline, they also don't know where to limit their shelling to. Ah okay, that makes sense. I'm still for scenario 3 though, that timing makes me leery. It's just like Jabal Thardah back in Sep 2016, but with far less bloodshed and the ISIS attack wasn't successful.
>>202564 >I'm still for scenario 3 though, that timing makes me leery. Indeed, if SAA artillery laning close to SDF troops was the only problem why couldn't they just radio the SAA to stop firing. Fishy shit.

Overall it's fucking mind-boggling to imagine SDF controlled all or atleast most of Baghuz Fawqani (including to the Bukamal bridge) a couple of days ago. Are IS and their families so flexible that they could've transported so thousands of people from Marashida to Baghuz Fawqani during a fucking counteroffensive? ....

US-backed commander allegedly defects to Syrian Army
BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:50 P.M.) – A senior commander of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) allegedly defected to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the eastern countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governorate, Fars News reported, citing local sources.
According to the report, the senior SDF commander was named ‘Rikan’ and he defected in the Al-Salihiyeh region of eastern Deir Ezzor.
The SDF commander reportedly defected to the SAA with his vehicle that was filled several weapons from the nearby encampment in Al-Salihiyeh.
Following his defection, pro-Syrian Army social media accounts began to report that the Al-Salihiyeh Crossing was closed by the SDF.

>D24 network correspondent noted that the clashes between Daesh and the SDF are now limited, and that the international Coalition’s jets have reduced its air strikes on Daesh, as yesterday, Monday, there were just two strikes on Daesh-held area east of the Euphrates. >According to special sources, it is likely that the SDF have agreed with Daesh on an undeclared truce in the east of the Euphrates.

What's interesting is the video though, i can't understand a word but i shit you not i'm 99% sure it's filmed on Jabal Baghuz. Checked some fresh satellite imagery (shitty quality) and it looks greener than usual.

>US supplied weapons were discovered at the storage yard of Arturo Michelena International Airport in the Venezuelan city of Valencia, the Interior Ministry of Venezuela said Tuesday. 19 rifles and 118 magazines, high-caliber ammunition, as well as 90 radios and six mobile phones. https://twitter.com/Ozkok_/status/1093031592459669504
According to #Hezbollah affiliated News Al-Ahkbar significant damage to #Syria's Air Defense was caused by the #IDF/#IAF strikes on the 20th Jan. It also alludes to the fact that #Russia knew Syria and allies could escalate if a similar strike from #Israel would happen again.
The Syrian Arab Army just released every single soldier who was born in 1981 or older from service. All claims that the SAA was calling people who are older than 42 are now fully proven to be nothing but fake news.

So I'm asking myself, why isn't SDF controlling the cliff? It's probably some shitty excuse like "muh wamen and chillunz" and negotiations but i can't help thinking there's a sinister reason, like giving ISIS the opportunity to cross the river.

>>203236 Supposedly a pic of the drone that was down. Conflicting reports of who it belongs to though, some say it's Iraqi. If it's true that this is a fresh image then ISIS must still have access to a network, wonder why they've been so quiet... Amaq crew got annihilated?

>>200949 But they aren't really Arabs. They're Arameans, Assyrians, Lebanese and Kurdish and a motley of others. They are LARPing as Arab because they speak the language, a damn shame. All the Arab Empire needs to be fractured by empowering ethnic minorities in those states, just as our enemies do to us.

>>203384 >>203393 It also puts them further away from Israel so no more strikes on them from outside Syrian airspace - the Israelis will have to expose themselves to SyAD in order to strike the Iranians.

>>203398 >no more strikes on them from outside Syrian airspace - the Israelis will have to expose themselves to SyAD in order to strike the Iranians Well they've struck T4 before, so idk, they should place some S-300's at the rumored renovated base near Zaza Junction. https://twitter.com/StrategicNews1/status/1074040300933390336
>>203403 >Well they've struck T4 before Snus, all I said is that the Israelis can't airstrike the Iranians from the safety of Israel/Lebanon, not that they'll stop airstrikes altogether. >so idk, they should place some S-300's at the rumored renovated base near Zaza Junction. Within artillery range of the US and FSA forces? T4 is a safer place because it's not within striking range of the US/FSA, and if you're gonna protect a target from airstrikes, best to put your air defenses at said target than further away from it - hence why the Russians clustered their air defenses at Hmeimim Airbase instead of scattering them around that airbase.
>>203406 >all I said is that the Israelis can't airstrike the Iranians from the safety of Israel/Lebanon and i'm saying they can strike T-4 from Jordan. >Within artillery range of the US and FSA forces? It's out of range for the FSA's howitzers and GRAD already if the SAA maintains the frontline correctly, there's only one HIMARS in Tanf base and that thing can easily be countered by pantsir. >if you're gonna protect a target from airstrikes, best to put your air defenses at said target than further away from it Problem is, the mountain range from Eastern Qalamoun to Palmyra can be used as cover.
>>203410 >and i'm saying they can strike T-4 from Jordan. How? If they've got such great range, why do they strike Damascus from Lebanon instead of from Israel itself? >It's out of range for the FSA's howitzers and GRAD already if the SAA maintains the frontline correctly, there's only one HIMARS in Tanf base and that thing can easily be countered by pantsir. Fair point. >Problem is, the mountain range from Eastern Qalamoun to Palmyra can be used as cover. Another fair point, but that can be countered by putting air defenses in front of those mountains. Then there's the SyAD around Damascus and Homs, as well as Latakia and Tartus. The Israelis have a habit of using other aircraft as cover (Il-20 incident, the first bombing of Damascus Int'l Aiport after that incident), which to me tells quite a bit about their assessment of SyAD capabilities. The airstrikes on Damascus and areas they can reach from Lebanon won't stop and they'll keep trying to get Syria to use S-300 against a pitiful target in order to gather valuable intelligence on Russian air defense systems for Israel and NATO at a relatively low cost since that's the point of these airstrikes so far, but I don't think the Israelis will fly into Syria itself to strike T4 since SyAD is in a better state now than it ever was, especially since they have Russian radar and tracking due to integration with S-400
>>203416 >How? Like i said, entering Tanf zone and using the mountains as cover. >that can be countered by putting air defenses in front of those mountains Or on the mountains, like the spot i mentioned. This way they can no-fly zone the burgers aswell.
>they'll keep trying to get Syria to use S-300 against a pitiful target in order to gather valuable intelligence on Russian air defense systems for Israel and NATO at a relatively low cost >since that's the point of these airstrikes so far The S-300 hasn't been active and they've already trained on greek s-300's. >I don't think the Israelis will fly into Syria itself to strike T4 since SyAD is in a better state now than it ever was, especially since they have Russian radar and tracking due to integration with S-400 The Syrian AD has been focused on Damascus, doubt the AD in the East is as up-to-date.
>>203424 Greek S-300 isn't the same as the Syrian S-300. The Syrian S-300 is the Russian version, one step below S-400 if I read the information correctly, and thus more valuable to learn about than the Greek S-300. >The Syrian AD has been focused on Damascus, doubt the AD in the East is as up-to-date. If that's the case, then it's obvious what the SyAD should do then. Whether or not they will is another question.
>>203447 >>203446 tbh, imo these are all temp solutions until they can build bases in the east once u.s. is gone Rmeilan and Al Malikiyah would be far harder to attack.
>>203227 >>203230 >Da’ish commander Abu Zubayr and at least 8 other terrorists were killed during an intel-based anti-terror raid by #Iraq’s Falcons Intelligence Cell and Federal Police in Kirkuk’s Riyadh district yesterday.
Regarding the claims of Iran moving its weapons supply center to T4, there is no such activity in the airbase. But yes, I can confirm they are withdrawing from Damascus airport.
Furthermore, Syria is a nation of smugglers, for the right price the IRGC will always find people willing to get its weapons to Hezbollah, with the current government in Damascus or with another one. The idea of stropping weapons shipment to Hezbollah is simply ridiculous.

>Daesh managed for the second time in two days to shoot down a drone in the town of # Al Baghuz https://twitter.com/DeirEzzor24/status/1093886552831332352 >some pictures have been published, showing the SRG while heading to Aleppo, some tanks in desert camouflage can be seen. https://twitter.com/Bosni94/status/1093906135394996224 I wonder if Republican Guards and 4th Armoured Division will be more effective this offensive... In their defense, their objective during the Daraa offensive was extremely hard compared to the countryside surrender-rama the Tigers enjoyed. Imagine how baller it would be if several fronts opened simultaneously with steady gains all around. 4th with Hezbollah support in Latakia, Tigers with 5th corps in Hama and eastern Idlib and Republican Guard with Liwa al-Quds and Hezbollah in Aleppo. Of course, whoever gets the most RuAF support will win the gains race, but still.
