Syria in 2016 (January-March)

[OUTLAW 09]

We are off and running in 2016 with the continuing Russian non linear war in both eastern Ukraine and especially in Syria......with a US President that absolutely does not understand political warfare nor UW and is afraid to employ hard power together with soft power.

IE----the UNSC has urgently called for the stopping of bombing that is killing deliberately Syrian civilians--BTW the US was for that resolution----and it took a major social media push on the massive killings that are ongoing and still ongoing being deliberately conducted by both the Assad and the Russian AFs THAT finally got at least the DoS to issue a statement and call the Russian FM.

IT should not have taken social media to push DoS and Obama.

Obama could have first warned via back channels Putin that he has gone to far and if the killing has not stopped THEN he could have moved the debate into the UNSC and presented the massive amount of video footage and HWR/AI reporting to force a stop---if that did not reign in Putin then he could in fact allow US assets to fly circles over the respective cities being badly bombed forcing the RuAF to restrict their bombings.

BUT from Obama absolutely nothing.

We are even seeing his reluctance on further sanctions on the extremely active Iranian ballistic missile tests and further development which are in FULL violation of the UNSC resolutions on their missile development AS well as finally calling out Putin on the clear Russian violations on INF. Obama is even sidestepping a full informing of Congress on the Russian INF violations.

AND the Russian strikes on civilians just keeps on keeping........

Who is using #Russian cluster munitions such as RBK-500 in #Syria? #RuAF or #SyAFF which is under Russian control?

CrowBat--I have been tracking this particular commenter and he has been to a degree correct in the last couple of months...any idea what he might be talking about????

Funny. Russians bombing Sunnis, Shias beheading Sunnis in Syria & not one "peace loving" western leftist is speaking up.

The gloves are off. The opposition cannot be blamed for anything they do anymore against such a genocidal enemy.

Just wait & see what Rebels have in store. I'm not giving any info & I advise all activists to keep silent for a while.

The Russian FM disagrees with the US proposal to include JaI in the Syrian negotiations.......FM has named JaI and AAS as "terrorist"--WHY because they are fully supported by KSA........

... And we kill with what we disagree.
Happy new diplomatic year, @UN!
Your "peace plan" for #Syria was born dead.

THAT is exactly what Putin had in mind when he "allowed" the US to go to the UNSC.....exact same procedure for the Minsk 2---dead on arrival......

Well... by now, everybody monitoring this thread should know what is motivation of majority of Iranian and Iraqi combatants sent to Syria (namely, 'defence of Sayyida Zaynab Shrine'), i.e. that this is of religious and sectarian nature; those that paid more attention might not forget the video showing that 'commander' of one of Hezbollah/Iraq gangs preaching 'killing Sunnis' during his speech on Friday noon preach, several weeks ago, etc...

...which means they're de-facto Shi'a Jihadists in Syria...

We've seen an increasing number of interviews with Hezbollah/Lebanon combatants disgruntled about what they've been sent to do in Syria...

...and it's not getting better if majority of Western public is intentionally ignorant of the fact that Assad and Russians in Syria are cooperating with at least three, probably four groups considered 'terrorist' by the 'West' (USA, NATO etc.), including the IRGC, Hezbollah, PFLP-GC, and PKK...

Bottom line: anybody still insisting that this is some sort of a war in which there are no moderate forces but 'Jihadists only', and that these would be facing some sort of 'coalition of good-doing, secular and democratic' forces of IRGC, supported by Russians, who are 'finally going to bring an end to this Wahhabist mess', and then 'instal secularity and democracy' in the country... is actually living in an illusion, and might prefer to go considering Hollywood's 'blockbuster' movies on 'super-heroes' for 'authentic documentaries'.
