NO need to ask where they got them from....Assad and Putin
MORE evidence that the YPG is working together with Assad and Putin and is not a US supported proxy...
IMPORTANT....Turkey is signaling long term involvement inside Iraq and Syria....
Ankara believe troops will be fighting Kurds in Syria/Iraq for some time to come. Some civil presence too (like in Jerablus now)
RTE saying "we didn't accept our borders voluntarily" I think is about two things: 1)justify troops in Iraq/Syria
And people wondered why he's talking about giving Turkish passports to 2m Syrian 'guests'
Russia desperately trying to either water down and or kill this......
REJECTED: Second #Russia hostile amendment on #Aleppo resolution
REJECTED: fourth hostile amendment tabled by #Russia rejected by @UN_HRC members 20-11. Atrocities committed by the regime remain in res.
WHY so hard....guilt by association...that means if Assad is guilty of war crimes so is Putin by default for his bombings and starvation....
Aleppo: Rebels have repelled all attacks by pro-#Assad forces in Al-Amiriyah & Salah Al-Deen this evening. Heavy fighting in #Sheikh_Saeed.
Aleppo: #Iran/#Assad used the "truce" to send more foreign cannon fodder to #Aleppo.
Western "journalists" failing with their reports about #Aleppo & #Mosul. #Ramouseh District is not Castillo Road & #Mosul is not surrounded.
Russian so called ceasefire WHICH really was an combat ops temp break in order to allow the Assad foreign mercenary forces to rebuild, refit and reposition themselves.....IS OVER.....fighting is back on....

Syrian Kurds accuse US officers of supporting Turkey’s attacks on the SDF
Quote:
ARA News#
Erbil#–#Turkey-backed rebels on Friday attacked positions held by the pro-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Tal Rafaat District. The Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) accused American officers of cooperating in the incursion.
Friday’s#attack was preceded by#Turkish airstrikes, which hit the villages of Um al-Housh, Um al-Qura#and#Hasiya in#Aleppo’s northern countryside. Ten SDF fighters and four civilians were killed, while dozens of others were wounded.
The Islamic State (ISIS) was pushed out of these villages in August and September as part of the SDF’s drive to reach al-Bab city. The People’s Protection Units (YPG), the lead force within the SDF, seeks to seize al-Bab and thereby connect Northern Syria – Rojava’s (NSR) canton administrations.
“Informed sources confirmed that the Turkey-backed attacks on#SDF positions today were supported by#American officers,” the PYD said in a statement on Friday.#
Speaking about Turkey’s air raids, US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter told reporters:#“We don’t yet fully know what transpired there. We’ll find out more as the days go on. I simply can’t give you any more than that now.”#
Earlier on Thursday, US State Department spokesperson John Kirby called on the Syrian rebels and the Kurds to stop fighting each other.#“We’ve called on all parties to refrain from uncoordinated movements and to focus, as I said earlier, on the common enemy, and the common enemy is Daesh,” he said.
“Both these Syrian forces and Turkey can and should operate inside the coalition, […] to focus on Daesh and not one another, and that’s what we want to see,” he said, employing an Arabic acronym for ISIS. “We don’t want to see any uncoordinated movements and these strikes would qualify as uncoordinated movements.”#
Two Sides, Diametrically Opposed
The immediate goal of the Turkey-backed rebels is to preempt Kurdish territorial ambitious by capturing the ISIS-held areas between Efrin and Manbij. Their latter goal is to open a new front against the Syrian Army and the Shia militias currently laying siege to eastern Aleppo city.
“The Euphrates Shield Operation will drive the YPG out of Tal Rifaat and the surrounding area before moving eastwards towards al-Bab,” Abdurahman Harkoush, a former spokesperson for the Army of Islam, said.
These goals are irreconcilable with the widely shared Kurdish desire#to establish#territorial contiguity in the NSR. Kurds across Turkey condemned Thursday’s airstrikes and Friday’s incursion.
“While Turkey can and should have a crucial role in fighting ISIS, the attacks of the Turkish Army and its local [Islamic fundamentalist] allies on the SDF are providing ISIS#with fresh air,” Hisyar Ozsoy, Vice Co-chair of the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP), told ARA News.#
“Turkey has been carrying out aggressive policies to undermine [the SDF],” Ozsoy stated. “By sacrificing the peace process with the Kurds [in Turkey] and initiating militarist policies against the Kurds in Syria, who constitute the backbone of the SDF, Turkey is foreclosing the possibilities of a peaceful future and political stability.”
According to#Michael Stephens, the head of the Royal United Services Institute – Qatar, the US did not cooperate in Turkey’s attacks on the SDF.
“Basically [this is] a warning sign to the YPG; If you try to join the cantons we’ll make you pay,” Stephens told ARA News. “The two sides, [Turkey-backed rebels and the pro-Kurdish SDF], have no interest in talking. Ultimately it’s a disagreement between two sides that are diametrically opposed.”
Turkey’s Target is the Self-Administration
Tensions in Northern Aleppo Governorate have reached a fever pitch. According to Stephens, the SDF and Turkey’s rebel factions “are only able to talk through military means. What you’re seeing is the geopolitics playing out in the micro.”
Nawaf Khalil, a former PYD#spokesman#and head of the Rojava Centre for Strategic Studies, told ARA News that#Turkey views#all Kurds as enemies, regardless of their relations with Iraqi Kurdistan.
Khalil shares a widespread belief that Ankara and Moscow have been cooperating to cripple Syrian Kurdish forces. “There has been a deal between Russia and Turkey to hit the Kurds, and destroy the insurgency in Aleppo,” he said.#
Khalil told ARA News: “Turkey says it openly; their target is the [NSR] Self-Administration, and [their aim] is to prevent the unification of Efrin and Kobani.”
AND Russia resumes deliberate targeted killing of civilians NEVER even thinking about attacking IS the Putin UNGA stated target.......
Intensive Russian airstrikes on Aleppo and it's western countryside since yesterday.
The West especially Obama and company remain utterly silent in the face of war crimes, starvation and genocide....
REMEMBER that Obama "red line" and the Putin UNSC statement what Assad was CWs free??????
Use of chemical weapons is a war crime. @UN's @OPCW reports 3rd proven use by #Assad regime of chlorine-filled barrel bombs. #UNSC must act.

Hacking group from Russia & China claims credit for massive cyberattack
http://ow.ly/AM5z305qySS
China has been building a massive attack machine that will take years to get under control if at all...so get use to these kinds of attacks....
Welcome to the brave new world of cyber warfare from your baby monitor and refrigerator...compliments of your smart coffee machine...
The nature of hybrid warfare is escalation. But responding in kind is a policy not yet properly considered.

IMPORTANT: #Assad forces are tying to progress at Salahaldin & Alamriya districts...currently being fully stopped and defeated by JFS/Sham
Pro-Regime forces bringing reinforcements towards #Aleppo in prevision of major push to coincide with arrival of #Russia|n aircraft carrier.
Following FSA concepts they have not missed this development and are probably starting their Aleppo offensive sooner rather than later to avoid this....and to create Russian planning chaos...
Aleppo: pro-Regime forces launched multiple assaults backed by airstrikes on several districts: Salah Al-Din, Amiriyah & Old city. Failed.
