Will be ending my posting for the Syrian thread now as this is the final example of a totally failed US FP for the ME....a failed policy for dealing with IS and a failed policy that now proves the US only mouths the words...."rule of law..good governance and transparency".....it has been and is a total farce....
Never ever thought I would experience my own country...it is until 4 January 2017 for me....I never thought I would experience the blatant failure to stop genocide...war crimes....starvation and ethnic cleansing WHEN the US has the ability to stop it.....
The Obama WH with it's "do nothing stupid" was one of the worst WHs in the last 70 odd years as they never ever really had a single strategy other than "doing nothing stupid" and that with winning the Nobel Peace Prize for doing outside of what ....being the first black President??????
Syria will now degrade into a true guerrilla war and those FSA moderate forces that believed the West would help them will turn now to JFS (AQ) as they radicalize....a radicalization forced on them by the US and Obama.......
The threat of IS and radicalized Salafists will haunt the US for the coming decade....and that is the legacy of this Obama WH...they made the problem just worse as well as being totally complicit now in genocide..war crimes...starvation and ethnic cleansing on a scale never seen before in the ME......
Comment from inside Aleppo this morning
R.I.P. Aleppo
Assad, Putin & Iran have killed you.
The world is complicit in your murder.
We won't forget nor forgive those responsible.
BREAKING: Turkey's former Prime Minister @Ahmet_Davutoglu says Syria's Bashar al-Assad is committing a massacre, aided by Iran and Russia.
AND Obama is out golfing this week....

What's happening in #Aleppo , exactly what #Iraq govt trying to avoid in #Mosul - Shiite militia told not to enter the majority Sunni city
Syria -potentially worst case scenario in east #Aleppo - pro-govt Shiite militia from #Iraq #Lebanon let loose on remaining Sunni civilians

A 'BTW' here - prompted not only by hordes of online- Assadists, Putler-fans & Co KG GesmbH AG SPA that are insisting on the legend 'there was never any kind of protesting in Aleppo', and 'these jihadists came from abroad, or from the countryside', but also a host of 'well-informed Western observers'...
...this is what Aleppans protested for, back in 2012:

...this is how 'few' they were:

...and this is how the regime thugs reacted:

At least back then the latter were all Syrians.
Five years later, it took entire armies of Iranians, Afghans, Iraqis, Lebanese, Russians and whoever else to silence them.
An update in this regards: the Daesh captured an intact - and fully functional - S-125/SA-3 SAM-site, north of Tiyas/T-4 AB, yesterday afternoon or this morning.Originally Posted by OUTLAW 09
Question is now if they've got anybody who can not only power it up, but also make it operational again.
Palmyra: #ISIS made significant gains (blue) southwest of #Tiyas Airbase and captured the strategic #Tiyas crossroads today.
Putin's premature classical concert in #Palmyra beginning to look like George W. Bush's Iraq "Mission Accomplished" moment
More people have died in the siege of Aleppo (108k) than in the entire Bosnian war of 92-95 (102k). And it's not over yet.
The wires: rebels in Aleppo say agreement with Russia to cease bombardment in the city from this PM.
Aleppo ceasefire will come into effect tonight and also includes a withdrawal plan
NATURALLY typical Russian tactic......
And of course shortly before #UN Security Council meeting
Ceasefire agreement reached after talks mediated by #Turkey
Iraqi Shia militias also involved in slaughter in Aleppo, UN says:

EU: We will not pay to help rebuild Aleppo if Syria's opposition has no political future

Aleppo: Protests in rebel-held areas of #Syria. People are very angry that rebels don't launch offensives against the pro-#Assad forces.
Tents, personal belongings and food left at Russian base captured by IS in Palmyra suggest it was abandoned in haste

Russian MoD claims - journalists\media-activists in #Aleppo are "militants".
Of course they are, let`s kill them!
NO WITNESSES, NO EVIDENCE
Palmyra: And people said: "#ISIS will capture no weapons in #Palmyra. #Russia removed everything."

Ceasefire/evacuation deal for #Aleppo
- All armed groups & their families + other civilians, free to leave from 5am, under ICRC protection.
pt: All major armed groups have agreed, incl. Zinki & Ahrar al-Sham.
40,000+ people set to leave in hours = biggest evacuation of the war.
pts: Evacuees being given option of leaving to #Idlib or N #Aleppo. I’m told most will go to Aleppo, under #Turkey’s anti-#ISIS protection
BREAKING: Reports that evacuation deal has been reached for rebels and civilians in eastern Aleppo, some locals report fighting has stopped
Russian UN ambassador claims the agreement is only for the fighters..........AS no one will harm the civilians........ANOTHER Russian lie.............
UNSC #Russian envoy, impervious to accusations of helping #Syria commit atrocities, says Russia's accusers are protecting terrorists.

WERE Russian spetsnaz involved in the execution of 80 Syrians in the local Aleppo sports stadium.....
It's unclear did RUS soldiers pull the trigger or just didn't do anything to stop execution in #Aleppo stadium.

Syrian conflict: Assad's fragmenting military
Finally the BBC has a broad view of the Syrian Civil War:http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-38289313
Aside from the general comments I found these two of note. Forum contributors have shown many times their grasp of the demise of the SAA:Then this rather puzzling one and I do wonder what sources they have used:Once again it is the open source intelligence analysts of Bellingcat who have scoured the internet to pull together a fascinating snapshot of this militia phenomenon.
The forces fighting on the side of the Assad regime are an extraordinary patchwork of units - some from the regular armed forces but equally as many from a variety of militias.
Some of these, Bellingcat says, may be no more than a few dozen men strong linked to a village or neighbourhood.Western analysts have been impressed by the proficiency of the Russian special forces' ability to work with such groups.
