    When Trump and his merry WH band start pushing DoD to loosen the ROEs THIS is exactly what we get back....the image of the US killing civilians in hasty air strikes that match Russian air strikes for the lose of civilian lives...

    "People used to feel safe when the American planes were in the sky, because they knew they didn’t hit civilians."
    http://wapo.st/2nfuyOR?tid=ss_tw#

    Well Trump flushed that pervious US image for protecting civilians literally down the drain.....BUT he cannot seem to "drain the swamp at the same time...

    EVEN the SecDef Mattis statement makes no sense.."well if civilians were hit then it was not intentional"....HATE to see what an "intentional" air strike looks like"????

    It's two weeks since the Russian MFA's fake-busting page reported any "fakes".

    Guess the Western media aren't that unreliable after all...

    Fantastic report based on interviews with *the* key 4 tribes in #Raqqa.

    - A MUST READ, with important lessons:

    http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/p...f-four-tribes#

    Based on fieldwork undertaken in #Raqqa (edited by @Andrewtabler), a number of *very* important lessons need to be acknowledged *now.*

    Lesson 1 - ALL of #Raqqa’s key tribes are deeply hostile to U.S-backed #YPG & skeptical of the #SDF.
    Today’s strategy ensures further war.

    Lesson 2 - A sizeable U.S troop deployment into eastern #Syria based on today’s strategy is v. likely to spark a broader hostile insurgency.

    Lesson 3 - #Raqqa’s x4 key Arab tribes demand *indirect* U.S. anti-#ISIS actions, channeled through #Turkey & opposition group operations.

    Lesson 4 - x3/4 of #Raqqa’s main tribes want an expansion of #Turkey’s Euphrates Shield to fight for #ISIS-held #Raqqa - not #YPG or #SDF.

    Lesson 5 - U.S support to #YPG & pliable pro-#YPG Arab militias has dramatically limited US options & created explosive divisions in #Syria.

    Lesson 6 - The U.S can leverage specific Arab tribal support to counter-#ISIS, but this needs emboldened anti-#Assad/#Iran/#Russia actions.

    Fact 1 - x2 tribes alone pledged 7,000-10,000 men to the U.S to fight #ISIS in 2014/15, but withdrew them due to the ban on fighting #Assad.
