This does not match up with some other recent “news” stories. Fake news? True news? I just cannot tell anymore.
It’s hard to tell who are the good guys (except the Kurds = good), who are the bad guys (except ISIS = evil from H###), and who are the other players. At least for me it is.
What a mess.
It is not a fake news site.
I find it much more reliable that US coverage of this subject matter. They are close to the action.
Not particularly on this article but on many of the articles I have posted from this site, I have been able to verify accuracy with ME reporters and with friends I have been in conversation with on the ground in Syria over a long time. (2+ years in some cases)
