Fuel crisis in Syria: More than a kilometer of double-parked cars waiting for gas in Latakia. No petrol deliveries in Hama for almost week.
Just another country that sought "a good deal" with #Putin.
Turkish troops & equipment, destroyed by Syrian regime air strikes near #alBab.
Air strikes were in fact carried out by Russian AF....Originally Posted by OUTLAW 09

Latest situation and clashing points in Al Bab. TAF / FSA against Assad regime and ISIS.
Tahrir al-Sham (#HTS) leader Abu Jaber promised new attacks against the #Assad regime. The battle against the Shia aggression has priority.
Russia says our #Saydnaya report & calls for an end to Assad's extermination campaign are a "deliberate provocation"

From a previously unheard of website IIRC, 'The Nation' and with a headline and sub-title:Link:https://www.thenation.com/article/ha...ed-war-crimes/ Have the Syrian Kurds Committed War Crimes?
This special report, which also exposes their collusion with the Assad regime, undermines their claim to be leading a democratic, open society.

Is this a likely solution? Partition.
A recent short article by Professor Scott Lucas, a Syria watcher, with a sub-title:Link:http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/the...ion-syria.aspxAfter nearly six years of uprising, conflict and chaos, the partition of Syria is imminent. President Bashar al-Assad will of course rail against it; his crucial ally Iran will probably resist too, and the marginalised US won’t even acknowledge the prospect. But the lines are nonetheless being drawn.
(At the end) Partition is far from ideal, and it may only be short-term — but at this point, it’s the only viable alternative to endless slaughter, displacement, and destruction.
There is a longer 2016 article in RUSI Journal, note written during a ceasefire period (however short) and the authors aim to:Link:http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/...7.2016.1193353..consider the challenges of peace- and state-building, identifying both risks and mitigating actions. The article argues that risk mitigation is possible and should begin now.
I just wonder can there be such a local compromise and who is going to "police" the boundaries? If it was to happen now, after six years of a civil war, "policing" the boundaries could be very dangerous. Who would want to be the "jam" in-between?
Everything I have read states Syrians do not want partition.

After accidentally killing 3 Turkish soldiers, #Russia: we don’t believe #Turkey will form ‘buffer zone’ in #Syria

"Accident"...seriously doubt it.....more like an "armed warning"......
For those that do not believe that Syria and Ukraine are not intertwined.....
In Syria they also walked the streets initially in a very peaceful manner demanding...the rule of law and good governance...and then Assad and Putin and Iran have unleased genocide...starvation.....ethnic cleansing and a massive killing machine on those that demanded those simple demands...
Just a side comment for this thread....in Ukraine they strive for the rule of law....something hard for the former Eastern/central European countries under the Soviet rule and then Russian rule in the face of institutionalized Soviet style corruption.....YET they still try....
It was the underlying battle cry of the Maidan.......AND in countless Syrian towns and villages...
We in the US often forget the cries about protecting the rule of law and how many around the world want to emulate the US concept of the rule of law....and since the election of Trump it appears that he and his merry band actually want to do away with it......
The following is the perfect example of why the US judicial system ensures the rule of law and what we often call checks and balances on power grabbing...by any of the three branches of US government....including itself.
If you want to see what an irritated US independent judiciary looks like, it’s this paragraph.....

Disgusting. Assad playing into anti-immigration hysteria, claiming those he bombed from their homes are terrorists.

Putin didn't acknowledge mistake in airstrike that killed 3 Turkish soldiers. Blames Turkish coordinates.

The US should bear in mind that if it wants to "cooperate with Russia on fighting ISIS" Russia is likely to bomb its troops "accidentally".
