    White House in a “red hot” debate over #Raqqa strategy - may not decide until late-April 2017.
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-wre...085768#…

    White House #Raqqa debate:

    1. Re-evaluate #YPG relationship & heal #Turkey ties

    or

    2. Use YPG to take city then hand it to #Assad/#Russia

    Turkey Foreign Minister:

    1. We will attack #YPG in #Manbij
    2. U.S is “undecided & disoriented” on #Raqqa plans
    http://sabahdai.ly/3OTcoA

    WHO would have thought the Trump WH and yes even Trump himself is "confused and disoriented"??????

    Germany forbids #calan and #YPG flags during public demonstrations.
    Reason: They are "suited to promote the cohesion of the #PKK".

    Germany bans public display of calan portraits, arguing that it would mobilize for banned terror group PKK.

    SDF already set up a Manbij-style council to take over. Expectation YPG will then trade Raqqa to regime in return for autonomy.

    The attacks were captured on video, the Russian Su-24 is clearly visible.
    3 of the 5 dead were children.

    5 civilians were murdered and 10 injured in three deliberate attacks by the #Kremlin regime's air force on #KafrNabl.

    HTS has reportedly raided an opposition radio station in Saraqeb, #Idlib - confiscating its equipment & threatening staff.

    For those that deal with pesky Russian trolls....

    Jester is releasing a novel way for tracking/profiling Russian trolls.....

    This @th3j35t3r program is great . Especially when you're rooting out a troll. Or self-analysis.

    http://internetawacs.jesterscourt.cc...se.php#…

    Actually a very interesting concept to say the least especially when working with large scale Russia twitter botnets.....

    Men, women & children gathered in Al-Mastoumeh today to protest against #HTS.
    #HTS opened fire in air to disperse:

    Damascus: 16 #Assad regime fighters were confirmed killed by the bombings in #Damascus today.
