Turkey reduced/suspended military aid to Idlib rebels and invested almost everything in north Aleppo operation, could be a strategic mistake
Turkey reduced/suspended military aid to Idlib rebels and invested almost everything in north Aleppo operation, could be a strategic mistake
CENTCOM tried to deter Turkey from moving on Manbij by claiming it is their Arabic fighter recruitment center.....
Manbij?
to YPG: very important for Rojava
to US CENTCOM: Arab recruiting ground and to keep Turkey on leash
to Turkey: a matter of national security
Which one will win out.....?????
US saying Manbij is off limits, Turkey in tricky situation east Euphrates
BUT this after Obama WH openly declared that the YPG had to pull out as it is ethnically Arab not Kurdish area...
SYRIA: "We'll quit Raqqa & fight in Manbij if Turkey/FSA attacks" YPG officials tell US military - @KomNewsCom

Safely guided in the first ten older and young storks coming in from southern France.....their are a tad heartier in colder weather than their very warm blooded feathered cousins eventually coming from Africa by way of Turkey....they had it easier than normal as they rode the tailwinds of two major low pressure zones westerly winds exceeding 60-70mph...landings were a little rough due to the massive crosswinds in their favorite open fields...
Spring has made it to Berlin/Brandenburg....
BTW....in 2003 Jihadists tried to blown up the Strasbourg Cathedral twice due to it being the starting point for the Crusaders headed to the ME..the eight attackers still are sitting in French prison.....

Killed in Syria
Posted on February 25, 2017
https://russiandefpolicy.blog/2017/0...lled-in-syria/
Sadly for their loved ones, four Russian military advisers died on February 16 when a radio-controlled IED destroyed their vehicle.
This week#TASS published a backgrounder on Russians killed in action since Moscow joined the Syrian conflict in September 2015.
Twenty-seven Russians have died in Syria, and Russian forces have lost two Mi-8 and one Mi-28N helicopters, and one Su-24 fighter-bomber.
Click here for the essential details of the news agency’s report. #Some names and info not given by TASS#are provided.
The first death was a non-combat casualty. #TASS didn’t mention the 64 members of the MOD’s Aleksandrov Ensemble who perished in a plane crash en route to Syria on December 25. #They didn’t die in Syria, but might not have died if Russian troops weren’t in Syria.
Damascus: Heavy #Assad airstrikes have killed 6 civilians and wounded dozens more in #Douma, Eastern #Ghouta, today.
Damascus: #Assad regime attack on #Hazrama in Eastern #Ghouta failed. Many pro-#Assad forces were killed or wounded and 3 tanks destroyed.
Aleppo: Turkish artillery shelling #YPG positions at #Tal_Rifaat.
Aleppo: #YPG shelling #Mare. Many people were wounded.
HTS was never invited to #Geneva "peace talks" and #Assad & #Russia never stopped their attacks, so...
Assad can kill civilians everywhere in #Syria but when #HTS kills #Assad fighters in #Homs it's called a "setback for the peace talks."
The Western double standards:
Airstrikes against hospitals = no terror attacks
Vehicle bombs against military targets = terror attacks
