    Asma al-#Assad:

    'Yes, I was offered the opportunity to leave #Syria… It doesn't take a genius to know what these people were really after.'

    She cannot leave as cannot Assad...as he would be charged with war crimes and genocide....so she has to stay...simple as that.....

    Asma al-#Assad:

    'My husband is very kind, very thoughtful & always polite… so easy to talk to… he’s a very giving man'


    AS he kills his way through 73% of the Syrian Sunni population along the way...what world does she really live in these days that she cannot see reality just as her husband cannot apparently see reality staring straight at him......

    Footage
    #Russian Su-35 war plane, bombing towns east of #Damascus this morning.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAVMt-n5ipg#…

    BEFORE so called sham ceasefire....
    Fresh #Russian #BunkerBuster attacks on civilians in #Aleppo's Bustan Alqaser ,Kalasi and Zubdia neighbourhoods.


    Pro-#Assad media shows #Russian incendiary bomb attack on #Maardes.
    EVERYTHING is allowed for them ...
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaNK6G1O7Yo#…

    Also east of #Damascus, the #AssadPutin terrorism continued.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Qi6NZoD9I#…

    Another #Aleppo suburb after #Russia used #BunkerBuster bombs vs. civilians.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2gZGikk5VA#…

    KafrNaha, west of #Aleppo yesterday/today ...
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EhnYAs7FXk#…
    I wouldn’t believe for a second that 24-48hr bombing pause in #Aleppo is going to see opposition fighters do 180° shift & quickly surrender.

    WHY would they surrender with TAF/FSA exactly now 10.5 miles away from them inching even closer and apparently Assad and Putin not realizing the goal of TAF/FSA...

    AS TAF/FSA move closer so does a NFZ move closer to Aleppo.....

    I *would* believe for a second that renewed fighting after “pause” will see #Russia/#Assad truly go all-out to prepare #Aleppo assault.

    HERE is the motive behind this stoppage....every time Russia stops either in Aleppo or eastern Ukraine it is always for preparation for an upcoming battle...it allows him to move troops arms, munitions and fuel ALL under the cover of a so called ceasefire and it freezes say the UAF in Ukraine and the anti Assad forces as then the WEST will state "see you broke the ceasefire".....

    THIS is exactly what Russia is doing to Aleppo and the WEST says nothing....absolutely nothing.

    THEY have even backed away from the idea of war crimes, starvation, ethnic cleansing and genocide....using Trump's own very twitter comment.... SAD....

    Press conference with Muqtada al-Sadr and leaders of the #Iran-backed #Hashd, only one of whom is not a formally-designated global terrorist.


    Leaders of largest #Iran proxy militias, the backbone of the #Hashd, are to meet Muqtada al-Sadr in Najaf today re coordination over #Mosul.

    Kyle W. Orton ‏@KyleWOrton
    Russia has used every other "ceasefire" for consolidation and preparation for aggression ...

    Also, everyone's now distracted with #Mosul.

    Izzat_al_Douri denies relationship between Baath Party and #ISIS, & apologizes for invasion of Kuwait in 1990

    The old buzzard apparently dodged the reaper one last time.

    BUT he sure spent a lot of time in Syria when the US was in Iraq....

    A NEW US FP is slowly making it's way to the ME starting 1 Jan 2017....

    In OCT 2013, Hillary Clinton criticised Obama's belief in "moderates" in #Iran and #Syria red line fiasco.

    AND the Russians will not like it at all....

    Everyone in the Obama/Rhodes/Kerry totally forgot what it was like fighting an insurgency inside Iraq until Obama....came into the WH.....it is not going to be pretty.....

    Kyle W. Orton ‏@KyleWOrton
    #IS ceding statelet, moving to insurgency, isn't defeat: that's their strategic choice. Must uproot enabler networks


    http://warontherocks.com/2016/10/aft...o-underground/

    WITH over 100,000 US troops inside Iraq...we still could not control the insurgency...beat it down yes, but never control nor defeat it.....

    17 OCT 2016:

    State Department says again #Assad and #IS are de facto allies in #Syria.

    Still chasing Assad's patrons to defeat IS though.

    Syria Expect clashes btw #FSA & #YPG along #Aleppo frontlines
    #FSA demand #YPG to withdraw from Tal Rifaat in 48h
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuS7lA8rPuI#…

    The Syrian SUPER GAU is brewing and yet the US and now Putin does not seem to see it coming whatsoever.....

    Erdogan has repeatedly stated the YPG/SDF/PKK must pull out and YET Obama thinks he can talk Erdogan out of this.....AND Putin thinks he has an unspoken agreement over Aleppo which he forgot to tell Erdogan about....

    TAF/FSA are inching slowly ever so slowly towards Aleppo and by the YPG not pulling out of Tal Rifaat place YPG directly in front of that slowly inching forward which neither TAF and FSA will tolerate any longer....AS YPG has repeatedly attacked FSA positions under support of Russian CAS and FSA has not forgotten that.....

    Zinki’s military leader in E. #Aleppo, Omar Salqo, speaks on issues re. the siege & military relations with JFS:
    https://youtu.be/0u02caqkvts

    Charles Lister ‏@Charles_Lister
    Ultimately, I see no interest in US pursuing confrontation with #Russia.
    But this idea that #Moscow’s AD negates U.S. capability = rubbish.

    The S-300 to S-400 evolution presents further risks, but the U.S has explicitly developed its own stand-off & air systems to deal with them.

    Greece has had S-300s in Crete for 15yrs - and as such, both #Israel & the U.S know everything there is to be known about its weaknesses.

    Strange comments re. #Russia’s S-300 being insurmountable problem for US = complete codswallop

    Wld it be risky? Sure. But perfectly doable

    WELL so much for the Russian sham so called ceasefire.....Russian air strike AFTER their own called ceasefire start....and that is what Russia calls a "ceasefire Russian style....ALL talk, propaganda and then come the bombs"....

    Apocalyptic
    The people of eastern #Aleppo left their basements and flats today to see what is left of their city...
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzsKjGlNFGY#…

    Same scenes as every day in #Aleppo today.
    But #AssadPutin used more artillery & less air strikes it seems.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS-FQP2rNdo#…

    BUT NO TRUE CEASEFIRE ...SAME IDENTICAL TACTIC USED IN EASTERN Ukraine...CLAIM A CEASEFIRE....AND A PULL BACK BUT YOU GET AN INCREASE IN GROUND ATTACKS AND HEAVY ARTILLERY ATTACKS....ALL CLAIMED TO BE A "CEASEFIRE RUSSIAN STYLE"......
