    Samer al-Zoabi ("Samer Ibrahem AL-#assad") a Syrian agent/rapist collecting intel on dissidents in #Sweden.

    WAS a well known member of the Syrian Military Intelligence Directorate in Damascus accused of raping Sunni women in prisons....

    NOW so called "refugee" in Sweden......

    Syrian refugees indicate he is still passing info to the Assad Syrian Embassy in Stockholm for use back in Syria...

    Appears the Russians were a little to fast out of the gates with their own info warfare statements on who exactly used CWs.....

    The Russian allegations of chemical weapons use came an hour before the regime dropped chlorine bombs on Saraqeb.


    BTW the air strike was via barrel bombs and videoed.....

    Even more Russian Today info warfare hard at work......

    Russia Today TV interviewed an allegedly captured rebel. Later, he turned out to be a bearded regime fighter

    Ever wonder why it is always the UK media that releases anything Fisk writes about Syria......Fisk has been disproven so many times in his articles he is also matching Trump when it comes to actually lying....

    THEN in a typical info warfare manner it gets picked up via Twitter nand then back into the Us MSM....ALL largely unchallenged

    What a biased, uninformed, "I have heard of.." piece of cr.....p.
    By Robert Fisk.

    As ever ... #Syria

    #Iran-run Shia jihadists spearhead "the Assad regime" in Aleppo

    http://bit.ly/2aiD1y0

    Reference the Iran Deal and a 400M USD cash payment to Iran....

    Administration tried to demonstrate the #IranDeal was working; "merely emboldened Tehran to increase its aggression"

    From DoS spokesperson.....
    "Details might make for a colorful news story". But move on. Don't write that story. You warmongers.
    https://youtu.be/vGcaeYiMwLY

    .@POTUS: Fact that we paid cash is precisely bc "we are so strict in maintaining sanctions and we don’t have a banking relationship" w/Iran

    Obama just mentioned Iran "closing down a bunch of facilities." But they didn't close a single facility under the deal.

    Obama once again says the Iran deal was "signed." Odd phrasing, considering that isn't really the case.

    BUT WAIT...it was never fully "singed" off on by Congress and both the Obama and Rhodes interviews clearly show...they basically spun and lied to Congress...

    Somehow Obama/Rhodes/Kerry MUST truly think they are second rate bit actors in a second rate sitcom called "US FP in Syria"....

    Is this the best that can come out of this WH which has a 700 person NSC supporting them......

    Obama: If Russia doesn't play nice in Syria, they "will have to answer for that on the international stage."

    Just what the heck does this statement actually mean to anyone listening especially in Moscow????.....nothing, nada, fini....do not think this will impress Putin for a single second....

    THAT is just how far the US FP in this administration has fallen.....

    Yes, it was also doing loops around Crimea recently according to The Aviationist and 24 hour Flight Radar...

    Perhaps it will duck down to MANPAD level.

    Russia Is Trying 2 Poach U.S.-Trained Rebels With ‘Unlimited’ Weapons in #Syria
    This article by @michaeldweiss suggests #Turkey is indeed shifting toward Russia and away from the US on #Syria
    http://thebea.st/2aZEjMm

    Question is how much of this is actually part of the ongoing handoff of Syria responsibility from US to Russia.

    Faylaq al-Sham announces start of the attack on the artillery college https://twitter.com/ShamLegion/statu...46905038053376

    Important as there is a massive ammunition depot inside the artillery school and it is a key defense cornerstone for the Assad forces.....

    A third of the base has been taken and the rest is under strong attack from Sham...if regime loses this base it will be a major propaganda victory as well as a physical beating of regime forces...

    HAVE the Syrian rebels done what the Obama WH has always stated...it cannot be militarily won.....BUT they definitely have changed that perception......

    Ahrar al-Sham tweeted:
    "God willing, today we will meet our people, trapped in Aleppo
    God willing, today is the day of our revenge."


    Acc. to rebel sources, #AleppoUnderSiege is already opened tonight.
    Without the help of the west.

    BreakingNews
    Three rebel groups claim: #Assad forces are fleeing the Ramouseh Artillery Base.
    Rebels said to be in full control.

    Syrian rebels claim to have taken the Military Arming College just south of the Ramouseh Artillery Base.

    BreakingNews
    Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and Ahrar al-Sham claim to have pierced the first line of defence in the #Assad artillery base.

    Syrian rebels' suicide attacks are their substitute for regime&Russian air strikes.
    With the diff. that 95% of them hit mil. targets.

    When you think,you've seen it all
    Syrian hero @HadiAlabdallah is back near #Aleppo,interviewing ppl. in a wheelchair

    MustWatch @BBC doc. on the latest #Assad/#Putin attacks on hospitals & children in #Aleppo.

    Default Iran's Role in the Syrian Conflict

    This new RUSI Occasional Paper (60 pgs) provides a comprehensive analysis of Iran's role in the Syrian conflict, drawing on the perspective of major regional state and non-state actors:
    Iran’s role in Syria is critical not only to the course of the latter’s five-year civil war, but also to longer-term developments in the wider region, #not least because the country’s relations with key players, including Russia, Hizbullah, the Gulf States and the Syrian regime, will inevitably be affected by the outcome of the conflict.
    The alliance between the Syrian regime and the Iranian leadership is, on the face of it, puzzling. The former is Arab, Alawite and secular, while Iran is Islamic, Shia and deeply religious. Nevertheless, since the civil war in Syria erupted in March 2011, Iran has been one of the key supporters of the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad, and has maintained significant influence over the evolution of the conflict.
    This paper presents the findings of a project designed to establish a better understanding of Tehran’s ultimate ambitions in Syria, its relations with the other state and non-state actors involved in the conflict, and its influence on Damascus and the outcome of the civil war.
