Syria in 2016 (April-June)

[OUTLAW 09]

I normally do not publish this but lately the West has apparently turned it's back on the Syrian civil society as even the MSF stated this fact yesterday....and maybe we need to see ground reality to fully understand the depth of the Assad and Russian extermination campaign against Arab Sunni's and just about anyone who is against Assad....

Footage WARNING!
Extremely graphic!!!
Dying child after an #Assad air strike on #Talbisah.

So while Orlando pains us....there is on average ONE Orlando every single day in Syria and yet the world says/does nothing....

#Russia was never traveling in our direction on #Syria.
Unfortunately, it's taken 6+ months to realize that...

Typical Russian Syrian "vodka moment".......

MFA Russia
✔ @mfa_russia #Syromolotov: We are in favour of forming broad antiterrorist front in Syria & Middle East, with #UNSC key role
http://bit.ly/1sG9Vxu

MFA Russia
✔ @mfa_russia #Syromolotov: Syria should be put in order by Syrians. Outside forces should help in this regard without infringing on Syria’s sovereignty

When dealing with Syria and the ME since 2009...one needs to really reread the Obama Cairo speech.......

Perhaps particularly these days it's worth reading President Obama 2009 Cairo speech. A message not to be forgotten. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us...bama.text.html …

CrowBat...the article while short due to size limits was quite good.....it would make a great doctorial thesis after this is over....

Thanks.

And yes: if one adds all the stories from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1990s in particular, it would make a good doctorial thesis.

[OUTLAW 09]

Another Syrian Arab Army resupply run for IS........

DeirEzzor: Weapons and ammunition captured by #ISIS from pro-#Assad forces south of the #DeirEzzor Airbase.

DeirEzzor: #ISIS has captured 1 regime tank, 1 BMP and other vehicles from pro-#Assad forces yesterday.

DeirEzzor: New #ISIS reinforcements and heavy weapons arrived #DeirEzzor.

Kerry begged Putin to stop the civilian bombing and deliver aid as agreed to in Geneva but that did not happen so now he is just talking and that is about it...just talking to Iran as if they will support anything the US supports.....

Kerry and Iran's Zarif discuss ways to renew Syrian truce, deliver aid

But then you are talking about "volumes"....

German government spokesperson denies their SF...the KSK are indeed fighting with SDF near Manbij.......

BUT THEN.......in German

Lieber @regsprecher Sie dementieren deutsche #KSK in #Syrien. Wer sagt hier "Ja, genau" bei 0:51?

Und wer ist dieser deutsche Sani bei 0:35 @regsprecher #Syrien #KSK

Northern #Raqqa: #ISIS started assault against #YPG in #Ayn_Issa.

[OUTLAW 09]

One does in fact have openly question the serious intent to destroy IS these days......

IslamicState established "no-fly zone" in part of southern #Syria
No airstrikes by #Assad, #Russia, #USA & #Israel

This area was not bombed for months, bc Assad & Russia & US are happy about IS fighting against FSA here

Iranian captured by JaF in the failed Maarata attack by the Shiite militias

Syria 43 rebel ATGM launches in first 15 days of June 2016:
https://justpaste.it/June2016ATGM

Mercy Corps: "This is the worst we've seen in Aleppo." Roads being hit on hourly basis, group says any aid convoy would become a target.

Assad and Putin are attempting to completely cut off Aleppo even when IS and JaN are not in the city as repeatedly stated by virtually everyone that knows anything about Syria.....AND the Obama WH.....crickets......

[OUTLAW 09]

Wow...it appears that the Assad allies and Russia are having a small problem in understanding each other.........

Also reports of clashes bet. Assad forces & Hezbollah/Iraqi/Afghani fighters in Braij area, near where Russian airstrikes hit Assad positions

After a series of bad loses they appear to be a tad "on edge"......

Reports from a few hours ago claim Russian airstrikes targeted Assad & pro-Assad positions in Talet Mayasat near Handarat in #Aleppo

Following the motto of "what goes around comes around"....appears RuAF used WP on their own positions...oops.....

Unconfirmed: #RuAF mistakenly attacked Regime position in Tall Mayasat in #Aleppo by Phosphoros bomb, killing dozens wounded many.

[OUTLAW 09]

Just as #Russian announces a 48 ceasefire in #Aleppo it bombs Anadan & Kafrhamra w/ incendiary & cluster munitions
https://youtu.be/VlEpZQlLJ08

We know that the Russians are blatantly lying again as they have never held to a single ceasefire in Syria JUST as they hold to no Minsk 2 ceasefire ALL the while "claiming they do".....AND everyone else violates it...then using this excuse they start all over again.

[OUTLAW 09]

With Iraqi Shia militias losing badly and being pulled back to Iraq for Fallujah, and the IRGC taking a bad beating now Iran throws in Hezbollah as a stop gap measure.....

S. #Aleppo: clashes continue on ~10 km front (Zaytan-Huways) btw #JaF & Iranian-led militias reinforced w/ Hezbollah

Rebels coalition advance along the Turkish borders and expel #IS from Tal Batal and al-Azatiya villages north Aleppo

Yesterday...
Russian/Assad cluster munitions dropped on Hayan village west #Aleppo.

A must read to understand how in #Syria injustice leads to frustration which leads to radicalisation. #UN is guilty
http://takingsides.thesyriacampaign.org

Russia co-charing the Ceasefire TF and bombing civilians, #UN complicit in #Assad starvation tactics. Why would we trust the int. com.?

BTW...Russia does the same exact thing in eastern Ukraine by being involved in the JCCC supposedly monitoring the ceasefire and being a co/chair in Minsk 2 discussions and in the Normandy Four talks.

Why does the West allow Putin to be both a participant in the fighting and at the same allowing him to be part and parcel of all so called peace talks....strange is it not......

Report shows total bias of the #UN towards #Assad not only in their actions but also in inaccurate & misleading reporting to the SC.

Turkey army shelling #Daesh in northern #Aleppo's Akhtarin town now

[OUTLAW 09]

Why is it we never hear of any US MSM on anything printed and or released on IS....is it that they simply know nothing so say nothing?????

Kyle W. Orton ‏@KyleWOrton
Finally got around to watching @PBS 'The Secret History of ISIS'. It's not bad but there were four major problems.

1/ There is *nothing* on Zarqawi being in Baghdad in 2002 [a serious question given their chosen narrative thread] nor AMZ being in #Iran.

2/ Abu Umar al-Baghdadi, who oversees IS's revival after the 2008 defeat, is completely left out; they make it seem ABB succeeded Zarqawi.

3/ #Assad's facilitation of #IS gets no mention, a serious historical flaw in explaining how IS took root in #Syria so quickly in 2011.

4/ Nationalist opposition said to be wiped out in Syria in 2013, begging Q of how FSA cleared IS from positions in 7 provinces in JAN 2014.
