    Reports #ISIS is amassing east of Salamiya in east rural #Hama in preparation for a big offensive & Assad forces withdrawing to Saboura area

    Looks like Assad will take revenge on the Ismaili city of Salamiya soon, Assad forces have already withdrawn from several checkpoints

    Nasrallah is verbally using the "Islamic revolutionary ideology" of Khomeini who wanted to lead the Arab Sunni's.......but was always blocked by the Saudi's.....

    RUSSIA warplanes carried out more airstrikes on #Deir_Hafir moments ago
    #Aleppo cs #Syria MAR 6


    ISIS published long video on Caucasus in Russian, urging Muslims in Russia to become "mujahiden" and fight
    https://twitter.com/lumisis/status/706536732662038528

    Urging attacks in Moscow, St.Petersburg, Caucasus, one of reasons - retaliation for bombing civilians in Syria

    Multiple sources however claim shelling/rockets came from Assad controlled areas, wouldn’t be the first time Assad trageted Sheikh Maqsoud

    If a country is not willing to both use and "win" at cyber warfare and information warfare then do not even get into the fight....just take one's toys and go home.

    Right now the US under the Obama WH is unwilling to use both...and thus they wonder why Russia just keeps on pushing.

    One of the core failures of this administration has been it's strange reluctance to even define a strategic strategy on anything and that strategy must define exactly what a "win" must look like.

    The Russian "Syrian reconciliation center" is randomly making stuff up and promulgating it; The US releases no information on anything...absolutely nothing just as they released nothing on the actual Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine....remember their word gymnastics with the word "incursion" vs. "invasion".

    Remember that "information warfare" thing? This is why we lose.
