    Vladimir Putin's Syria envoy secretly met with top Israeli officials to discuss an agreement to end the war in Syria
    http://www.i24news.tv/en/news/intern...et-syria-talks

    Putin's envoy also visited Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Baghdad and Amman. Some people on Twitter were following his flights on Flightradar

    There are rumors that an agreement on Assad has been reached between Russia and the US, Putin's envoy may be trying to rally support for it

    Reportedly he should've visited Riyadh as well, but that meeting got cancelled after Zahran Aloush had been killed

    BUT WAIT...Russian media he ahd in fact visited Riyadh.....seems to have been a lie....

    The Highs and Lows of U.S. National Security in 2015: A Year-End Review
    How “we suck at everything” became the mantra of D.C.

    By John R. Schindler • 12/28/15 2:36pm

    Continued..........

    This was the year Mr. Obama semi-resolved our differences with Vladimir Putin by giving Russia’s president whatever he wants. While sanctions on Russia remain in place, thanks to its 2014 aggression in Ukraine, Mr. Obama has done nothing substantive to help Kyiv, while deterring Russian moves in Eastern Europe remains more a Pentagon PowerPoint aspiration than detectable American policy. That Mr. Obama views Mr Putin as a partner, not a rival, much less an enemy, despite barrages of increasingly vulgar indications from the Kremlin that Enemy Number One is exactly how Moscow views us, was evidenced by his letting Mr. Putin have a free hand in Syria this year. In truth, Mr. Obama outsourced our Syria policy to the Kremlin way back in the summer of 2013, when he disregarded his own “redline” there, so permitting Mr. Putin to do whatever he likes in Syria—for instance deploying an expeditionary force that claims to be fighting ISIS but whose obvious intent is propping up the Assad regime, which Mr. Obama claims to want to be rid of—at least is consistent. Of course, if Mr. Obama planned to just let Mr. Putin do whatever he wants in Syria, the civil war could have ended over two years ago, saving tens if not hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. But the White House doesn’t seem too concerned about any of that, and it’s so ardent to play nice with Mr. Putin that it quashed a tiny State Department effort to counter noxious Russian propaganda aimed at the West. Say what you want about sucking up to Mr. Putin, at least it’s an ethos.

    Syria air & artillery strikes rebel hold Zorba town in southern #Aleppo now
    Seems the #Iran lead Shiite-militias prepare the next push


    VIDEO: Footage of ISIS attack on Turkish military base in northern Iraq - @53rk051v4rm3n1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68an...ature=youtu.be

    For now, no more #SDF advances west to Tishreen housings (on #Euphrates western side). Still few coalition airstrikes in the area.

    According to Turkish Analyst,the danger isn't if YPG control Manbij,the Real Danger is if the YPG controls both Manbij and Jarablus

    Sources are indicating from Turkish Analyst that If SDF advances north of Manbij,that Turkey will fully intervene against the SDF

    ISIS is sending reinforcements to Tishreen Village to stop SDF-YPG advance towards Manbij,amid heavy clashes in the village

    Strike that killed Syrian rebel chief complicates peace talks push: U.S.
    http://reut.rs/1JFUBTq
    pic.twitter.com/5y7IAqxiwh

    THAT was the direct intent of the Russian strike........AND yet Putin claims he is working towards a peace settlement

    So now the US is supporting direct attacks by their Kurdish supported troops on anti Assad forces just as does the Russian AF---any difference now between Putin and Obama ......

    Jeish al-Thuwar acknowledged yesterday that it attacked rebels after rebels failed to withdraw from several towns.
    pic.twitter.com/fMUNmWo0Gs

    Since al Thuwar has been on this offensive accussed by anti Assad forces of outright killing of civilians in towns they took over and thus a so called truce between the two groups was suppose to be worked out....apparently not followed by the US....or worse they are not able to control Thuwar......

    Valid comment........

    If Russia calls all Syrian rebels ISIS, why not also call Iraq Syria and describe Kurdish YPG troops as Syrian army?

    Appears that even a Boy Scout Troop might have a better plan......
    ...just another failed attempt by Oblabla to bring insurgents in northern Syria to their knees - and emphasis is on failed.

    Namely, yes: the SDF (that is: YPG + about 200 of US-vetted combatants from Jaysh at-Thuwar - that is: those that didn't side with the FSyA and were then left to go fighting Daesh on the eastern side of the Azaz corridor), broke the truce with the Marea Operations Room (FSyA, AAS, JAN) and attacked the village of Malikia, on the western side of the Azaz corridor, two days ago.

    They didn't really block the Azaz corridor in this fashion: rather blocked one (western) of two roads going down the area.

    But this attack came at a very unopportune time, namely right when the Mutassim Brigade of the Sultan Murad Division FSyA assaulted and liberated the village of Duwaydan from the Daesh, on the eastern side of the corridor...

    ...ah well: different units of the Marea Ops Room counterattacked Malikia and recovered it the very same evening...

    The situation is actually such that the insurgents could completely destroy the entire Kurdish-held Afrin enclave. But,
    - a) they know what a public outcry this would cause in the West, and
    - b) they consider fighting the Daesh more important.

    Perhaps Oblabla, PYD/YPG Stalinists, and few other idiots there could come to the idea to at least consider the option b as more useful - for everybody involved...

    Assad regime shelling of Kurdish areas once again just goes to show that he will go after the Kurds too eventually

    History tells us #Russia is trapped in a dangerous mixture of negligence and active propaganda fed by her leadership. Paranoid delusion.

    The total failure of MSM in accurate reporting from Syria.........

    There was a terror attack in #Homs yesterday, that killed 16.
    But there were also 50 more terror attacks throughout Syria that killed 50 more.

    1st attack is reported by dozens of Western MSM
    50 others - all on video - are totally concealed.
