Syria in 2016 (July-September)

[OUTLAW 09]

Media ignoring #Assad & #Putin crimes, the #Hama offensive & the #Aleppo battle, but they report when #ISIS kills #Assad forces in #Tartus.

CNN reports about #Syria are really strange. They reported about the revolution 5 years ago and now they repeating #Assad propaganda.

Have the rebels bombed hospitals, schools and markets? NO! Have they gassed 1600 civilians? NO! Have they massacred Shia civilians? NO!

#Syrian rebel commander says Kurdish forces have not withdrawn from #Manbij city, expects confrontation soon

On Tuesday, a spokesman for Erdogan said Turkey insists that all elements of Kurdish militia YPG must be cleared from Syria’s Manbij.

Manbij city, which was a former ISIS stronghold, is located near the battleground city of Aleppo in northern Syria. Ankara claimed that Kurdish militia forces had attempted to seize more territories following the liberation of Manbij from ISIS.

This has propelled Turkey to warn the Kurds to leave the area and intensify its backing to Syrian rebels.

On Tuesday, a Syrian rebel commander said Kurdish militia forces have not withdrawn from Manbij, warning that he expects confrontation soon.

Appears the TAF is getting serious about building that so called NFZ that the Russians and US do not want.....If I were IS, YPG/PKK and the Assad regimes forces around Aleppo I would be paying close attention to this news item.......especially since the Turkish AF has been flying far more aggressively over the TAF/FSA forces......inside Syria with Assad/RuAFs giving them a wide berth.....

WHAT the heck has the Russian FM/MoD been both smoking and drinking lately......definitely ends any proposed joint efforts and points to the fact that Russia never intended to do a joint op anyway.....ANOTHER Obama WH failure to see this coming right a them????

Bizarre assertion from Russia: 'Only Syrian air force operates in #Aleppo, US must coordinate w/ them there, not us' http://izvestia.ru/news/629674

So the RuAF has never dropped a single bomb or cluster munitions on Aleppo whatsoever......if you believe this Russian statement I truly have a bridge to sell you in the Sahara...

Really appears that Putin thinks that Obama needs a "win" before leaving office and is trying to force Obama to formerly recognize and deal directly with Assad......

The gas cylinders used in yesterday's chlorine barrel bomb attack are the same type used in a previous attack
With Russia effectively blocking any UNSC actions the only way to stop these attacks is to destroy all Assad helicopters.

✔ @AFP #BREAKING: Iran president calls on Muslims to punish Saudi 'crimes' ahead of hajj

BUT ahead of the Haji....Iran does not state it is killing Sunni's in large numbers and is participating in the starving and genocide of besieged Sunni's....wonder why they failed to mention that????

Iran judicially massacred 20 Sunnis, most of them Kurds, for apostasy (opposition to the Islamic Republic) on 2 AUG

Without Iran there would be no Assad for Russia to prop up
