    Russia has deployed a military police unit to #Aleppo, to keep "order."
    = A politically/militarily risky move. Watch this closely.

    Jaish al-Islam has launched several targeted offensives in East #Ghouta in the last 48hrs.
    Likely to pre-empt an imminent pro-regime push.

    #Syria #Aleppo N.F.A.C. Aleppo Activist posted about 700 fighters from #YPG withdrew from #Sheikh_Masqoud towards #Afrin 1 hour ago.

    With this move Regime asserts its full control over #Aleppo-city & seeks to reactivate the joint Regime-#YPG offensive vs #ISIS near Al-Bab

    Russian info warfare hard at work now against Merkel in Germany truing to get her unelected in order to rescind the EU sanctions against Russia and those recently issued EU sanctions over Syria.....

    Fascinating to see Kremlin trolls starting up the Merkel operation in real time today. Mostly repurposed pro-Trump accounts.

    Because US or Russian trolling networks can't find enough decent German speakers willing to work for low pay

    Ah...that German language....tough to learn even tougher to tweet in German using only 140 characters...

    After publicly denying any possible act of terror...WHY is the Russian MoD backtracking their comments now......

    Interesting phrasing.
    Russian MoD doesn't exclude act of terror on #Tu154 but no explosion on board.


    There was a single twitter comment immediately after the crash that indicated a small charge was placed in and or near one of the engine turbine gears....it would not have been detected as a blast but as an engine failure......that comment never appeared again....

    Interesting Russian comment in face of the Obama WH notice of pay back for the Russian hacking in the 2016 election and the DNC.....the hacking that Trump still adamantly denies ever happened when his on Senate RP members state it did in fact happen......

    Klimenko tells @RT_russian Russia should be ready for the country to be cut off from the worldwide internet
    https://russian.rt.com/russia/articl...enko-internet#

    Klimenko is a close advisor to Putin...Trumps best friend...

    Putin's adviser urged Russia to prepare for disconnection from the world Internet.

    Please, no ... We'll miss the RU MFA statements


    BTW...this would also mean all SWIFT money transfers would be delayed as well....
