In the Syrian Ceasefire Shell Game, the Good Guys May Be Bad Guys

From what I understand al Sham had in fact stated that they will not sign on to the HNC list of groups that support the truce BUT will not attack unless attacked then the Russian put an air strike on their HQs....and had not attacked anyone before being hit by the RuAF.......

This is exactly the Assad Syria that Putin and Lavrov does not want you to fully understand and what was the exact reason for the Sunni rebellion starting in 2011...and why it is strange that when Obama and Congress use the word genocide when talking about IS THEY totally forget Assad...currently there are over 200K plus Sunni prisoners in an Assad maze of prisons that the Obama WH does in fact know about but does not want to talk about nor for you to learn about...

The Assad regime has used "military grade chemical weapons...against civilians" since the "ceasefire" began.
http://reut.rs/1oMui9T
The possibilities of lexicography have been extended yet further by #Syria: We have a 'ceasefire' that remains intact even after gas attacks
BUT WAIT how can Assad have military grade chemical weapons WHEN Russia verified to the US they had all been destroyed?????

The Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade (commandos) of the Republican Guard are nearing the end of their Latakia operations after they seized the remaining 18 percent of the province that was under the control of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group). However, one final battle remains before the Syrian Armed Forces can seize the Latakia Governorate’s border with Idlib and enter the strategic Jisr Al-Shughour District after a 10 month hiatus. While it is not as important as the rebel strongholds of Kinsibba, Salma, or Rabi’iyah, the mountaintop village of Kabani is the final obstacle for the Syrian Armed Forces in the Kurdish Mountains (Jabal Al-Akrad) of northeastern Latakia. Once Kabani is captured, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade and their allies will be able to push their way downhill towards the villages surrounding Jisr Al-Shughur’s southwestern countryside. On Tuesday afternoon, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade – backed by the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), the 48th Special Forces Regiment, Liwaa Suqour Al-Sahra (Desert Hawks Brigade), and the Syrian Marines – have launched a preliminary assault from two different flanks, hitting the Kabani countryside from the villages of ‘Ikko and Barisha. The Syrian Armed Forces are expected to intensify the assault on Kabani this coming weekend, as they look seize the Idlib once and for all.

"Nearly 850 militants in Syria lay down arms after talks Russian Defense Ministry"
http://tass.ru/en/politics/859945
The Russians are really smoking something these days but their altered state of reality is something to read.Quote:
MOSCOW, March 1. /TASS/. Nearly 850 militants in Syria have agreed to give up armed struggle as a result of negotiations, the Russian center for the reconciliation of rival factions in Syria has said on the ministrys website.
Russian representatives have mediated a meeting between the authorities of the Daraa province with the residents of six communities with more than one thousand people taking part. After the meeting 842 members of the armed groups Jaish al-Islam, Free Syrian Army and the Yarmuk Brigade put their signatures to a statement they were giving up armed struggle and returning to peaceful life," the statement runs.
The meeting took place despite attempts by radical groups to disrupt it. On the way to the meeting place several local residents were beaten up by militants. Former Syrian army colonel Zaidan Alnserat, one of the initiators of the meeting, was taken hostage

A whole new treatment by Tr CG; surrounded escort. Novocherkassk's northbound transit. Type80+Kaan+Saget+Sea Police
Need to see if this trend continues as it might a Turkish signal to Putin they are about to slow down his Syrian sea resupply as they can demand a longer notification period for military ships passing through and they can demand ship safety inspections as the Treaty foresees this right is the Turks feel "threatened"....
Exact same Russian eastern Ukraine tactics...heavy shelling, ground attacks and THEN accusing the UAF that they are violating the Minsk 2 agreements....
NOW even Assad is following the Russian pattern.......

That said, cannot but observe here that those curious about monitoring this war - and especially those having a problem to understand what is going wrong there - should... not: they MUST - read the book .
Yup, it's about Afghanistan, not Syria, but everything is explained there, including such aspects like:
- Russian campaigns of de-populating large parts of the country (including extensive aerial strikes aiming to exterminate locals), resulting in millions of refugees, raise of extremism etc.;
- complete chaos between insurgents when their supporters are insisting on locals making political and religious statements before the war is over, and - especially - when these foreign supporters are insisting on supporting own favourites on basis of predilections and political/religious affiliations, instead of battlefield merits;
- and so many, many other things...
That with picking allies by their political/religious statements didn't work in Afghanistan of the 1980s (on the contrary: it resulted in the chaos of 1989-1995), so no surprise it's not working in Syria now.
For me, it's rather surprising that all the 'experts' running such ops - whether in the USA, EU, or anywhere around the middle east - are so insistent on ignoring this problem.
Best of all is that all the photos and videos of 'militants' in question show civilians aged 45+...Quote:
