Russia, in its special way, just announced it is about to mount a massive offensive in Aleppo
http://www.interfax.ru/world/528751
In Russian
Russian MoD laid out a number of outright lies stating that the armed opposition was planning a major attack thus the need to now attack them basically.....
The ceasefire was designed to allow for the Russian and Assad mercenaries to reorg, refit and rearm for this major offensive against Aleppo....

Does Kerry really believe what he is doing lately...........
Syria deal still "salvageable, but aid needs to get in," US official tells me. "Regime track record not good on this."
US extends the siege on Aleppo by pretending Assad has an interest in following through despite previous failures.
Assad forces backed by Russian air support continue advance attempt into #Jobar for 3rd time today after ceasefire
I'm sure the Russians will immediately want to bring this to the Security Council.

On how Jabhat Fateh al-Sham's notable change of tone and how it's gaining from Washington's latest blunders

September 18, 2016 Updated: September 18, 2016 05:52 PM
Syrian war enters a new phase as factions realign
Syria’s peace plan is flawed and Jabhat Al Nusra knows it
Russia violates the deal, the US clings to it JFS gainsA week ago, the United States was on track to launch a campaign against Jabhat Fateh Al Sham, formerly Jabhat Al Nusra, in collaboration with Russia. But the deal has so far led to further division between the two countries and deeper solidarity with JFS from a diverse range of Syrian rebel forces and individuals.
Diplomatic tension between Washington and Moscow escalated on the weekend due to Russia’s failure to help aid convoys enter Aleppo. The US gave Russia until Monday to ensure the delivery of aid. Tension peaked after the US-led anti-ISIL coalition killed "by mistake" dozens of Syrian military forces in Deir Ezzor on Saturday.
Meanwhile, JFS – the focus of the latest US effort in Syria – appears to be gaining in some quarters. On the day that the US-Russian diplomatic spat reached a high point, the group’s leader, Abu Muhammad Al Jolani, appeared on Al Jazeera to talk about the international plan to fight his group.
For the first time since its rebranding on July 28, JFS’s tone and conduct seem to be changing amid a noticeable increase in solidarity among various forces in Syria, even as many doubt the group’s true disengagement from Al Qaeda.
Al Jolani highlighted issues to which many in rebel-held areas relate and which jihadist groups often neglect. One was the lack of education for thousands of children in rebel areas, which he said would cause those children to engage in crimes as they grow up. He also suggested an armed struggle would continue "until the toppling of the regime".
Another interesting aspect of his remarks was his favourable tone towards the regional order. He referred to the resistance in Syria as a cornerstone for Arab Sunnis’ opposition to Iranian hegemony in the region, referring to certain countries by their official name, in contrast to the pejorative way his former "emir", Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al Zawahiri, refers to them.
Recent messaging by JFS echoes that tone. The group released a letter of gratitude to rebel organisations that opposed the US-Russian plan to target it. The statement contradicted a fatwa issued only days before by Abu Muhammad Al Maqdisi, a notorious Al Qaeda ideologue who said rebels who co-operated with Turkey against ISIL in northern Syria were apostates. The way the statement was worded specifically targeted the takfiri attitude within Syria.
Whether JFS has truly split from Al Qaeda is still in question, but many in Syria now view it differently. More importantly, the American plan to target the group is pushing more people to support it, since the US-Russian deal is seen as aiding the regime of Bashar Al Assad.
Even as Washington doubts the group’s disengagement from Al Qaeda – as do many, including this author – the US cannot pretend that nothing has happened since July 28, when the group recast itself as a Syrian group committed to a Syrian cause. In this sense, JFS outplayed the US by its rebranding, and the change in perception requires a new way of dealing with it, regardless of whether American officials believe the group has truly changed its ideology and allegiance.
For many ordinary Syrians, fairly or not, the US targets JFS not because of its ideology but because it is emerging as a powerful rebel force in Syria. The group, they say, has demonstrated time and again that it is committed to the fight against the regime and not to the forceful implementation of sharia, as ISIL did. It then announced publicly, through its leader in May last year, that the group was forbidden by Al Qaeda to use Syria to launch attacks in the West. Finally, it abandoned the name of Al Qaeda in its public discourse.

Reports Turkish jets have bombed #ISIS positions in Baraghida, north rural #Aleppo this morning
EIGHT DAYS into the so called chaotic Lavrov/Kerry ceasefire........
STILL NOT A SINGLE AID convoy delivered anything anywhere....Assad has effectively blocked a 40 truck convoy in Turkey and the UN sat in front of a besieged Sunni town and the aid was blocked there as well.....
UN & Red Crescnt delegation enter #FSA held Moademiya, leaving the aid convoys outside the city, besieged since 2012 by regime forces
#Syria
U.S. Embassy Syria @USEmbassySyria
.@AmbassadorPower: Since 2011, the Assad regime has been intentionally striking civilian targets...
Power: In the face of these atrocities Russia has never expressed outrage, nor has it ever called for emergency consultation in UNSC.
Power: Imagine how often this Council would be meeting if we were to gather every time the regime or Russia struck a hospital, or a school..
Power: The Syrian govt allows ISIL to grow. It’s busy hitting markets & displaced camps, using chemical wpns that ISIL took root & prospered
SERIOUS QUESTION...why did the Obama WH wait literally until the barn burned down to state this in the UNSC....WHY has not this been drumbeat into every single UNSC meeting since 2012????
BECAUSE the Obama WH is on it's way out in 90 days and does not really care...being active since 2012 would have violated their ME FP of "doing nothing stupid"....AND would have clashed with their geo political goal of tilting fully to Iran in the ME....
Ambassador Power....a so called expert in genocide NEVER used that "word" when she blasted Russia NOR did she use the words "ethnic cleansing".....did she???? Heck she even wrote a 600 page book on the subjects.......
Syria #Assad's ethnic cleansing of #Sunni's (from #Homs al-Waer suburb) continues -deportation to #Idlib province
https://youtu.be/4DfkLfgJy84
AND after the ethnic cleansing Assad regime troops will plunder their homes.
BTW......Assad regime forces had threatened to use napalm and incendiary cluster munitions on the remaining civilian population and they were literally starved into submission.......AND the UN did nothing to prevent this EVEN though they had several "participants watching the talks"...later claiming they were not involved.......
Regime aid deliveries included coffins & body bags by Assad regime to pressure al-Waar residents accept forced displacement

HOPE the Obama/Rhodes/Kerry Wh fully understands that by pushing and then agreeing with the Putin so called ceasefire THEY are actively responsible now for the ongoing massive ground offensives against the anti Assad opposition....
BUT WAIT maybe that was the intention all the time.....
BUT REMEMBER it was the DoS themselves that expressed the dislike of claims that they have a "golden handshake" with Putin for the destruction of the anti Assad opposition......
HATE to say it....this Arab Sunni Syrian "perception" is actually quite valid...
Kerry's ceasefire was used by Assad and Putin to refit, rearm and reposition troops for three major offensives AND it was used to take the combat operational momentum away from the anti Assad forces......
THAT is now Kerry's/Obama's ME legacy.........
Aleppo: fierce clashes as pro-Regime forces launched huge assault on 1070 Project following extremely heavy artillery fire and air strikes.

Comment of the so called US friendly fire incident.........
IS is still standing by their first statement that they were in fact hit by US coalition aircraft...which actually supports the US....interesting that a high ranking Assad General, Commander of a Palestinian mercenary militia and "rumored" that a senor Russian SF Commander "happened to be killed" by the so called air strike WHEN IS claims that they were at the same time were being attacked by the US......
ONE thing is for sure....Russian response was way over the top even for them WHICH indicates something serious did happen ie the potential killing of a senior Russia Spetsnaz field commander.....
We have the Australians and Danish claiming they were the strike aircraft and we have CENTCOM stating they fully informed the Russians of the strike coordinates AND the Russians did not respond to not strike the coordinates.
So was the FF incident a CENTCOM OR Russia/Assad air strike in the wrong place as the Russians have already had over eight FF incidents in the last six months....
OR did actually IS hit a command post when they launched their attack on the airfield AND the Russians are simply taking a cheap shot at the US to cover up that command post hit....
SINCE Russia has arrived in Syria the Russian MoD has not been quite the totally "truthful organization" these days......actually they lie about 98% of the time in their PRs and with their videos......just as they do in eastern Ukraine.
BTW...the Russian "fog of war" was interesting to watch develop vs now what CENTCOM is saying.....
Initial Russian and Assad comments were that two F16s and 2 A10s hit their position then later Assad commenters stated and largely unchallenged by Russia ....Apache's were also used........AND all Russia comments never came off this air strike mix of aircraft..
BUT WAIT only the Danes and the Australians were actually flying the strike...and there were no A10s and no Apache's.....
THE US stated they will pay damages to those families affected by the strike BUT Russia/Assad have not supplied a list of troops killed and the only group claiming any loses was the Palestinian militia who fully named SEVEN...but will not be paid as the US considers them "terrorists".....

Another identified Shia militia in Syria....compliments of a proAssad commenter who always slaps his own created logos on other people's photos....
Syria #MenOfRighteousness Maghaweer Regiment Assad Zainab Group #SyrianArmedForces
From a Assad regime launched ground offensive yesterday WHICH fully violated the ceasefire BUT not mentioned by both US and Russia .....
THIS is one of the three planned Assad/Putin ground offensives that are being launched undercover of the ceasefire........
Assadists tried to storm points in #Lattakia without artillery/air support, as to frame Opp. for "CoH" break. After being expectedly repelled
Assadists also Hit 1CD vehicle, 1CD fires some howitzer shells today. #Lattakia
We used to think.. #Lattakia doesnt have as many Shia militias as some other places. Theyre the spine of regime forces, even on W.Coast now.
Shiites arent as big on photography as they are in #Aleppo but in a lot of Ops, from Jub ahmar - Salma - Kinsibba: Bet."Nujaba"/H.A/Afghans.
As early as post Jaysh al Fatah Idlib/Jisr/Ghab campaign - "Harakat Nujaba" deployed storming Jub Ahmar(Jabal akrad)
Shortly after - the Russian #Putin "Intervention". Which saw all aforementioned forces in use with Jabers militias, next to RuAF/Troops.
JFS is a Syrian group committed to a Syrian cause. Hizbollah is an Iranian militia killing Syrians on Syrian soil supported by Iran backed by Russia (both non Syrians).
Who should be bombed?
