Meanwhile in Aleppo it appears that the ISIS breakthrough has turned into a trap.

Fars News Agency is an Iranian regime mouthpiece - very one-sided.

Aleppo is a long drawn-out slug fest. A lot more people, a lot more combatants, and a lot more heavy weapons. None of the fighting forces are as efficient as the players in Manbij - Kurds, ISIS and US/French/UK air.

The Syrian side has gotten better with Russian advisors, but they are still not good.

We are at a branching point in the Syrian War this month. Where will the Kurds target after Manbij? What does this week’s major rapprochement between Turkey and Russia mean for Turkish support of the Rebels?
