I think the big news is also Putin massacring Kurds in Afrin.

The even bigger news is that ‘huge’ numbers of Syrian troops are massing opposite the US Marine positions at Al Tanf again. This time they will have Russian air cover: S-200, 300, 400 in linked mode; and SU-34Ss, SU-25s.

I read that the “rebels” were shooting at civilian convoys trying to leave the area where the fighting is going on. Not the first time.

Yawn. Putin knows if he goes after Americans in Syria that the Ukrainians will get access to whatever US weapons they want. So he won’t be escalating there.

What makes you imagine that Putin is in charge? This is an Iranian operation with Iranian General Quasm Soleimani in charge - the Russians are just along for the ride and fulfilling whatever treaty obligations they have with the Iranians. Besides this is the proving ground for new Russian weapons for export.

Soleimani has proven his love for attacking and killing US troops in Iraq at least 500 times.

Civilians are trying to get to the SAA areas but to try to flee means death from the islamists who dont want to,lose their human shields
However the SAA seem to have cut the islamist radical held area in half and is making progress on closing the circle and some supplies are actually making it to some civilians

Some of the “ rebels” ( islamists) are being allowed to leave for Idlib as part of the “ ceasefire”
I think the Russians are helping the Syrians sort out among the 5 or so islamist factions and picking out those willing to accept amnesty and those willing to go up to Idlib and fight against other factions
Delicate work but could be interesting

The Battle for Al- Ghouta could be one of the most important of the war
I just hope we and Israel stay out if it and dont come to al- Qaeda’s rescue
But given the saber rattling by Israel and the renewed chem war accusatiins against Assad I’m afraid “ we” are not going to let the Syrians win vs the sunni radicals

The Turks are killing the Kurds.

Assad is aiding them.

If your “receiving daily news” is from the same place you get the news about the Betelgeusian invasion of Cincinnati, then it’s not relevant - if you have actual proof, show it.
