Don't pay attention to whatever a presidential candidate is saying, they're almost all drooling retards.

 

I dunno, I've been hoping for somebody to whipe ISIS from the face of the earth right from the start. And I don't give a crap who it is. But I'd rather have it be you guys than the 'murricans. I'm under the impression the Russians at least get shit done.

So whenever Putin decides to ship a bunch of Polite People over there to be no-so-very-polite, I'll be cheering for you.

I'm not a fan of Assad, but I understand where Russia is coming from on this.  I'm kinda expecting them to get REALLY serious after the airliner being blown up. As in large #s of unfriendly Russian dudes conveying their displeasure with 5.45mm and 125mm lessons.

lol, let PR wars begin

   Syrian opposition unexpectedly issued a statement exposing the lies of the Western media Russian air strikes in Syria. Its representative Qadri Jamil stressed that Russia was not bombed "moderate opposition" as they write in the American and European media.

   According to the authoritative agency Sputnik, Jamil clearly sated "It is illogical to say that Russiais bombing the opposition. They bomb the radical opposition "Jehbat en Nusra" that some European media called the Syrian opposition. But it can not be called a "moderate opposition" is the radical Islamists, who may be the object of bombing, "- he said.

   He added that the troops of the "Free Syrian Army" must provide coordinates and other information to Russia, in order not to become the target of Russian air strikes. In his words, "Free Syrian Army" has announced that it is not a terrorist organization and is ready to join the fight against militants banned in Russia, "the Islamic state"

Speaking about Qadri Jamil

   Qadri Jamil himself is in favor of "a complete change of the regime under the leadership of the president." Western intervention in Syria, he considers as "occupation" and the group of "Friends of Syria" is regarded as part of the anti-Syrian "information campaign" and "propaganda." In order to create a strong national economy, he opposed the liberal reforms Assad mid-2000s.

 

   The specifics of Jamil's party is overlapping claims "to stop foreign interference" and "radically change the regime." The right to self-determination of the Syrians can not be implemented without disrupting the country's humanitarian catastrophe and terrorist intervention. Today Qadri Jamil preparing for the conference "Geneva-3." He advocates the participation of the army and the government of Syria in the international coalition against the IS.

   Syrian Army and Hezbollah Advance West of Kuweires Airport: ISIS Stronghold in Danger

   Three days ago, the Syrian Arab Army’s “Cheetah Forces” (branch of the Tiger Forces) did the unthinkable, they liberated the Kuweires Military Airport inside the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s (ISIS) heartland after 34 grueling days of battle with the aforementioned terrorist group.

 

   With almost every Tiger Forces platoon transferred to the northern Hama front; it was up to several small battalions from the Syrian Arab Army’s 2nd Division and Hezbollah to continue where their predecessors left off in the Deir Hafer Plains of eastern Aleppo.

 

   On Thursday morning, the Syrian Arab Army’s 2nd Division – in coordination with Hezbollah, the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Aleppo City, Kataebat Al-Ba’ath (Al-Ba’ath Battalions), Harakat Al-Nujaba, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) – carried out a powerful assault along the Aleppo-Raqqa Highway that targeted ISIS’ defensive positions at the Sisako Factory and the large chemical production facility that is located across this roadway.

 

   According to a military source on the ground with the SAA’s 2nd Division, the Syrian Armed Forces and their allies advanced 4.5km along the Aleppo-Raqqa Highway, seizing the chemical production facility after an intense series of firefights with the ISIS terrorists.

 

   The Syrian Armed Forces and their allies are currently positioned at the Sisako Factory, where they are in a heated battle for control of this facility that is situated approximately 3.5km away from the strategic Aleppo Thermal Plant in the Aleppo Governorate’s eastern countryside.

 

   The Aleppo Thermal Plant is strategically positioned between the Kuweires Military Airport and the Al-Safira District of Aleppo City; if captured, the Syrian Armed Forces and their allies can obstruct ISIS’ only supply route to their fighters in the western countryside of the Deir Hafer Plains.

   Breaking: Syrian Army Enters the Helicopter Airfield in the Rebel Stronghold of Marj Al-Sultan

   Moments ago, the Syrian Arab Army’s 105th Brigade of the Republican Guard – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Damascus City and the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) – broke-through Jaysh Al-Islam’s (Army of Islam) frontline defenses at the Marj Al-Sultan army terrain and reached the strategic helicopter airfield that is situated just south of the Marj Al-Sultan village in rural Damascus.

 

   The Republican Guard and their allies reportedly fractured Jaysh Al-Islam’s defenses after 16 straight hours of intense firefights that resulted in several casualties and the destruction of heavy equipment for both sides involved in this violent battle.

 

   According to a military source inside the Syrian capital, the Syrian Armed Forces suffered 18 soldiers killed-in-action (KIA) and another 31 wounded-in-action (WIA) while trying to penetrate Jaysh Al-Islam’s defenses; however, despite the death toll, the Republican Guard and their allies were able to fight through this rough terrain and reach the wide-open helicopter airfield.

 

   The battle for the helicopter airfield will be a complicated one due to the fact that both sides have to rely on their armored vehicles to move in open; unfortunately, this also leaves these vehicles susceptible to the Islamist rebels anti-tank TOW missiles.

 

   If the Syrian Armed Forces capture the helicopter airfield at the Marj Al-Sultan Military Airbase, they will be in prime position to assault the Marj Al-Sultan village that is situated to the north of the base.

The Marj Al-Sultan region of the East Ghouta has been under the control of the Islamist rebels since 2012; it was one of the first sites captured by them.

   Kurds’ Operation Underway in Sinjar, Blocks Key ISIL Supply Line

    Iraqi Kurdish forces backed by US-led air strikes blocked a key supply line for the so-called ‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’ (ISIL) takfiri group with Syria Thursday as they fought to retake the town of Sinjar from the terrorists.

 

  A permanent cut in the supply line would hamper ISIL’s ability to move fighters and supplies between northern Iraq and Syria, where the group occupies significant territory.

Retaking Sinjar – where ISIL carried out a brutal campaign of killings against the Yazidi minority – would also be an important symbolic victory.

 

   In a rare admission, the Pentagon said US troops advising the Kurds on their offensive were close enough to the front to identify ISIL targets and call in air strikes.

 

   Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told reporters most of the US-led coalition troops are behind the front lines working with Kurdish commanders, but that “there are some advisers who are on Sinjar mountain, assisting in the selection of air strike targets.”

  “They’re not directly in the line of action, but they might be able to visibly see it,” he added.

 

   The US-led coalition earlier said Kurdish “Peshmerga units successfully established blocking positions along Highway 47 and began clearing Sinjar,” referring to the main route linking ISIL’s Iraqi hub of Mosul to Syria.

 

   The autonomous Kurdish region’s security council (KRSC) also said that several villages near Sinjar were retaken and that the highway had been cut.

 

   “The attack began at 7:00 am (0400 GMT), and the Peshmerga forces advanced  on several axes to liberate the centre of the Sinjar district,” AFP quoted Major General  Ezzeddine Saadun as saying.

Huge columns of smoke rose over the town as coalition strikes and Kurdish shelling targeted ISIL positions, it added.

 

   Up to 7,500 Kurdish fighters are to take part in the operation, which aims to cordon off Sinjar, seize ISIL supply routes “and establish a significant buffer zone to protect (it) and its inhabitants from incoming artillery,” the KRSC said.

   ISIS Suffers a Devastating Blow to Their Central Command in Deir Ezzor: Several Officers Killed

   On Thursday morning, the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) suffered a devastating blow to their central command during operations at the Deir Ezzor Military Airport.

 

   The lead commander of operations at the Deir Ezzor Military Airport – “Abu Hamza Al-Tounisi” (Tunisian) – was reportedly killed by the Syrian Arab Army’s 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard after he attempted to lead the charge on the latter’s defensive positions at the Deir Ezzor Military Airport.

 

   Not much is known about Abu Hamza Al-Tounisi; however, according to Syrian military intelligence, he was one of ISIS’ most trusted commanders and a dear friend of Sheikh Ibrahim Abu Bakr (ISIS leader).

 

   The death of Abu Hamza Al-Tounisi wasn’t the only commander that ISIS lamented on Thursday: Abu Mohammad Al-Hamwi and Abu Umar Al-Baghdadi (Iraqi) were also killed by the Syrian Arab Army’s 104th Brigade at the Deir Ezzor Military Airport after their failed infiltration attempt.

 

   Three other important ISIS members were killed on Thursday, including ISIS’ chief spokesman in Deir Ezzor “Abu Khattab Al-Shami”, and two foreign field commanders “Abu Umar Al-Tajiki” (Tajikistani) and “Abu Mahrous Al-Jabari” (Saudi).

 

   Thursday marked the bloodiest day this week in Deir Ezzor, as ISIS suffered over 60 casualties during their failed bid to infiltrate into the Deir Ezzor Military Airport and the Sina’a District of the provincial capital.

   Moderate Rebels Call the Mother of a Slain Syrian Soldier to Boast About Beheading Her Son

 

http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/moderate-rebels-call-the-mother-of-a-slain-syrian-soldier-to-boast-about-beheading-her-son/

 

   The moderate rebels from Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) in northern Syria have struck again; this time calling the mother of a slain soldier from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) to notify her that they killed her son and beheaded him.

 

   The video displays a two members of Jaysh Al-Fateh calling the mother of a soldier named “Mazen” to taunt her with news of his death; this was followed by the two Islamists giggling at the woman’s cracked voice and dismay over the cold-hearted message received from what was described as the northern Hama countryside.

 

   After hanging up the phone, the Islamist rebels began shouting sectarian insults towards two soldiers that were allegedly killed by them.

The sectarian insults were directed towards the slain men; however, whether or not these soldiers were Alawi Muslims seemed to only matter to the Jaysh Al-Fateh fighters.

 

   Jaysh Al-Fateh is comprised of several rebel groups from the Idlib and Hama Governorates; and they possess several U.S. manufactured anti-tank TOW missiles that have been donated to them from both Saudi Arabia and Qatar – two countries working closely with the United States to bulk up the moderate rebel forces in Syria.

 

   Despite maintaining the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and their allies are “moderate” forces combatting the “Assad regime”, the U.S. has been unable to define the term coined by the former U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford.

   Syrian Army and Hezbollah Advance West of Kuweires Airport: ISIS Stronghold in Danger

 

Possible reason why terrorists still loosing ground in this area, even if Tiger forces were moved to other area:

   Large Convoy of Iraqi and Iranian Fighters Arrive to the Kuweires Front

   Four hours after the Syrian Arab Army’s “Cheetah Forces” (Tiger Forces branch) lifted the three year long siege of the Kuweires Military Airport in east Aleppo, several hundred Iranian and Iraqi fighters arrived to this front in order to relieve the Syrian forces that spent the previous 34 days fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS).

 

   The large convoy of Iraqi and Iranian paramilitary units heading to the Kuweires Military Airport were kept secret from the Syrian Armed Forces; this was followed by the withdrawal of the Syrian Arab Army’s “Tiger Forces” and the Kataebat Al-Ba’ath (Al-Ba’ath Battalions) fighters after 34 grueling days of battle against ISIS in the Deir Hafer Plains of the Aleppo Governorate.

 

   While the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Aleppo City and a small unit from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) remained at the Kuweires front; it has become evident that the Iranian and Iraqi paramilitary units are going to takeover the military operations in east Aleppo.

 

   Since their arrival on Tuesday, the Iranian and Iraq paramilitary units have already captured two villages that are located to the west of the Kuweires Military Airport and they have defeated an ISIS force that was attempting to recapture the strategic town of Sheikh Ahmad.

 

   According to a military source from the Aleppo Governorate, the paramilitary units transferred to this front are the following: Harakat Al-Nujaba, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and Kataeb Hezbollah; these groups have also been joined by the Lebanese resistance group “Hezbollah”.

 

   Their objective will be to clear the entire western countryside of the Deir Hafer Plains and to secure the southern flank of the Al-Bab Plains.
