Yep. Only end to such brutality is what happened to ISIS at the hands of the Kurds and their allies with the help of the Global anti terror Coalition.
“but they’re a propaganda arm”
Where did you get that statement?
I’ve watched this source for a long time. Never found them untruthful. Which is refreshing in the ME.
One man? May be. I don’t discount what you said of his background. Just because Assad might want to kill him, does not mean he practices Propaganda. Assad has a huge Propaganda industry and a lot of foreign fighters helping him.
Yep, Erdoo’s Neo Ottoman wet dream.
Take over the Middle East by force and rule the world.
He is said to have walk around carrying Mein Kampf and spotting passages from it. That came from a friend of his childhood.
I did not know that. Not surprised, Erdogan is totally dedicated to Islam which is explictly antisemitic. It is not a coincidence that Mozlems fought on the side of the Nazi's in WWII.
Yep. They are there.
Yes.

I’m your huckleberry.

The most effective propaganda is going to wrap it self predominately, if not exclusively, in the truth. The key is what parts of the truth do you emphasize and what parts do you leave out?
What’s your take on the alleged chemical attack in Douma?
Libya is now Somalia
I think Putin goes along to get along with Erdogan but he really doesn’t like the Turk and is wise to Erdogans Ottoman Empire ambitions, he’s just figuring ut how he can use erdogan to his advantage. Right now it appears Putin wants to once again play/or pretend the negotiator role, while keeping his own options open, as he did in Syria.
Yes, my friends in the region told me long ago that Putin was always in it for Putin. He was aligned with Iran and Syria, because of the oil. I’m sure he wants the EU as a subservient vassal state. Long ambition for both Germany and Russia. History is full of those wars.
Putin is smart, ruthless and always calculating. But I’m not sure he is “wise” to court such foul allies. There again, Under Obozo we cultivated some really foul Jihadi’s.
Assad is an evil puke (some here defend him for protecting Christians, but the reality is more like Iran, always with their heads down).
But here we are.
Yes, it is bad.
Jihadi’s did it. Probably killed themselves in an accidental release.
Components came from Turkey.
I think we knew the source at the time.
“How was it Obama was allowed under Art 2 (supposedly to protect US natl sec) to conduct missile strikes in 2011 in Libya targeting Gaddafi, but Pres Trump wasn’t allowed under Art 2 to target Soleimani in Iraq who killed 600+ US troops & wounded thousands of others????”
If it weren’t for double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
“Yes, my friends in the region told me long ago that Putin was always in it for Putin.”
Well that would explain why Russia supported the call for a cease fire in Libya, when the jihadis were being pushed back into the Capital City - to give Turkey time to ship jihadis out of Syria, so there are less for Russia and Assad to fight in Syria.
All well and good for Putin, if the International jihadis are the ones sent into the meat grinder. But if turns out that they are conscripting local kids in the territories Turkey controls within Syria, it is not such a good tactic. Newly hardened veteran jihadis will return from Syria eventually, to reinforce the Turkish surrogate security forces in the occupied areas of Syria.
I wonder if Kurds are being conscripted in Efrin?

Some have proposed that the SOHR is affiliated with British Intelligence Services.
I had not heard that. But it is possible. They are well connected to our N. Syrian allies. And are supportive.
Thanks for that info.
I doubt there are any Kurds left in Efrin.
If they are they are with the Kurd forces who regularly eliminate the Jihadi’s. Have not heard as much lately, but on average there were 10-15 per week at a point.
Kurds in Efrin area are not going to leave this battle. And the ones near Kobani will be the same during Turkey/Russia operation. Turkey is systematically ethnic cleansing now in the area around Kobani. There will be Jihadi Turk Militia and possibly Russian troops that will be eliminated there.
