    Russia fights terrorists in Syria. US sanctions Russia. Therefore, US "supports terrorists." @mfa_russia's odd logic http://www.mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/...ent/id/2340873

    The final toll of the airborne terror attacks on #Rastan is 4 dead, incl. 2 children, 13 injured, incl. 8 children.

    Regime attempts to fully surround #Aleppo are intensifying, offensives reported near Layramoun & against Handarat refugee camp today #Syria

    BUT WAIT Russian lied again when it stated via their FM that Syria did not intend to attack Aleppo......and the Obama/Rhodes WH honestly believes they can be "trusted"....when they cannot even fulfill Minsk 2....

    Rebels repelling pro-Regime forces in #Handarat, despite airstrikes.

    Vesti: "Finally, Erdogan complied with all of #Putin's demands."
    Russian Screen reads: "You don't chop off a repentant head"

    Vesti: "#Turkey has itself crammed full of Islamic radicals."
    Nonetheless, #Russia tells its tourists to go there.

    FSA Jaish al-Tahrir is a major force involved in fighting #IS, #Assad army and #IRGC militias in #Aleppo and #Latakia.

    Seems like a Nusra campaign against Jaish al-Tahrir in Mount Zawiya. Still unknown why.

    The DISPUTE was between Jaish Al Tahrir leaders themselves and JN intervened when they were asked to. JN was asked to by multiple JaT leadrs

    AND this is from a former US Ex Ambassador....

    http://en.news-front.info/2016/07/01...ish+News+front

    John Herbst:

    Assad should stay to prevent extremists from taking over

    Published: 01 July 2016, 12:28

    “I think Russia is right on this very specific point that the only alternatives right now to Assad are Islamic extremists,” Herbst said on Thursday. “I think Assad is a tyrant, he is brutal, but he is not as bad as the Islamic extremists.”

    Herbst stated he believed the US government had been “a little bit unrealistic” regarding the Assad regime, and Washington needed to adjust to acknowledge the Syrian government’s survival.

    “I think Assad regime will have power in Syria for a while. It will be foolish for us to get rid of him because the only thing we would do if we got rid of him would be to allow Islamic extremists to come to power,” he maintained.

    Herbst also noted that the United States and Russia had similar interests in Syria, and could cooperate.

    “It may be possible to cooperate, but there is a very serious problem in this area, and that is, most of the Russian military activities are directed against not the Islamic extremists, but against the very weak forces that are supported by the United States,” he claimed.

    However, if Russia stopped supporting military action against US-backed groups in Syria, the way would be open for greater cooperation between Washington and Moscow, Herbst maintained.

    “If Russia were to stop doing that, I think it is possible for the United States and Russia to work together against ISIS [Daesh] against Jabhat al-Nusra and other extremist Islamists,” he added.

    People in Jayrud fear the worse after captured pilot killed
    https://www.youtu.be/9MpXrBLsQ0E

    Criminals: Qasem Soleimani #Iran/#IRGC, Nuri al-Maliki #Iraq (ex-PM) & Mohammed Abdul Salam #Yemen/#Houthi militia

    Make no mistake, it’s no coincidence that Marat al-Numan & Kafranabel have now both seen Nusra assert its influence vs. moderate FSA.

    Both towns (soon Ariha?) have housed confident, locally-rooted & West-backed FSA factions whose long-term presence challenged Nusra.

    Jaish al-Tahrir issues warning to Jabhat al-Nusra & calls for issues to be resolved in court:

    Extremely interesting applies to both Syria and Iraq.....

    Hassan Hassan ‏@hxhassan
    Isis has conducted exactly 666 suicide operations since Nov., according to the stats I've been compiling here. 666 suicide bombers in 8 mo.

    "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number ... 666"

    Hassan Hassan ‏@hxhassan
    Isis conducted 100 suicide operations in June. 3 in Sirte, 56 in Iraq & 41 Syria (YPG & Assad, 19 each; rebels, 3).

    ISIS suicide ops in May, 81 ops. 77 IEDs. 21 inghimasis. Casualties: 225 FSA; 1591 ISF; 320 Kurds; 638 regime.

    Isis carried out 83 suicide operations in April in Iraq & Syria -- Anbar was the hotspot, followed by #Aleppo
