BREAKING: Russia fails to win re-election to U.N. Human Rights Council

[CrowBat]

CrowBat......what do you think?.....His Field Commander asks for CAS and this is the answer?????

Putin rejects renewing airstrikes, 2 give US more time to split 'moderates' from 'terrorists' - but they will bomb if 'extreme need'
sputniknews.com/politics/201610281046851500-aleppo-putin-airstrikes/#

Reports that #Putin said: "Resumption of aerial bombardment on #Aleppo is not helpful now."

Syria #Aleppo Several failed airstrikes hit regime troops in western #Aleppo
(Assad Military Academy, Zahraa Artillery Army Base...)

They (the Russians) have blasted away that school in Hass: the Russians know it was them, the West knows it was them, and they all know that enough is enough.

Moscow is meanwhile under verbal assault from all possible directions (except from Western governments): even the UN kicked them out of the HR-council. They know that if they screw up one more time, they'll start facing serious economic sanctions, perhaps even some sort of a NFZ over Syria. So, better stop and not risk another Blamage than provoke even more.

In essence, this shows that even Putler is not trusting himself going too far.

That aside: why should Putler care about Assadists (i.e. Ba'athists), Hezbollah, and the IRGC in Aleppo? He told them to be satisfied with negotiations from February, they insist on 'liberating Aleppo' and 'liberating every inch of Syria'. Even if Putler recently repeated something of this, it doesn't mean he's in agreement and intending to do the same.

CrowBat.....you will like this....

Russia: No air strikes on the school in Idlib.
No 22 children deliberately killed, no Russia aircraft seen and heard over Hass..............BUT a large number of online videos showing exactly what the Russians claim did not exist
The whole world is lying, only Russia knows the truth.

SAME exact drill they did and are still doing on their shot own of MH17.....heck by the time the Dutch government starts a formal criminal case in the coming year against Putin....his FM and the Russian MoD they still will be stating..."it ain't us".....FOR over a year now Russia keeps stating ""we sent our Rostov ATC radar tapes to the Dutch""....BOTH to the world and to the Dutch.....BUT surprise...surprise radar data was never sent.....

JFS storming Assadists in the Carton factory...there was a two part video series released..trying to get the links and will post them as they are important to watch.....WHY.....the symbology being used is exactly that of the combat videos released in Iraq by AQI and the Islamic Army of Iraq (IAI) the largest Salafist insurgency group at the same time AQI was active....

BTW....a great Islamist/Salafist symbology reference guide was done by the Counter Terrorism Center West Point in about the 2005/2006 timeframe.

Interesting in that these two videos depict JFS fighting hard to attain the "freedom of Aleppo" and against Assad regime forces.....they hit all the emotion points that a Muslim fighter feels when he sees the video...

Impressive shock wave created by the #JFS SVBIED that struck New #Aleppo district.

INTERESTINGLY YouTube removed this video as it violated their user agreements....BUT WHY did they remove this when tons of other similar videos from the fighting yesterday...THEY POSTED..MANY do not realize the depth of Russian oligarch investment into YouTube/Google/Twitter/Facebook..which have all at one time or another in the last year even blocked proUkrainian posters when Russian trolls complained without checking the troll complaints..

HEAVY rebel OPSEC is now in place....last posted videos tend to have stopped about 12-14 hours ago...heavy ongoing fighting with rumors of a new attack axis have barely now popped up but nothing supporting that other than rumors...

Fighting continued through the night and is reported to be heavy again this morning with rebels still advancing and regime forces literally fighting to survive and the western Aleppo civilians caught in the middle which rebels are trying to avoid. Repots that some regime shia mercenaries and Hezbollah troops have broken and fled while others hold out...not confirmed.

Suspect about two new fronts will open up to spread thin the regime forces and not allow them to focus strictly on one or two rebel attack axis.

By intermingling now within the regime held western Aleppo it is far harder for Assad and Putin to conduct CAS without hitting their own troops and civilians...

WEATHER....sunny today which would allow for CAS air strikes....cloudy tomorrow and low overcast....then into a rain front for about three days further restricting Assad/Putin CAS air strikes.

Depending on advances expect some footage to be coming out of Aleppo later this evening.

Putin doesn’t think we are serious about defence. We don’t think he’s serious about attack. That’s dangerous

#pt: At least 20 armed groups are involved so far in the W. #Aleppo offensive - principally Fatah Halab & Jaish al-Fateh factions.

pts: Planning for this latest #Aleppo offensive has been ongoing for 6+ weeks & began solely as a Fatah Halab (non-JFS/AQ) initiative.

pts: The offensive’s early stages were launched last night due to heavy cloud weather expected for coming 24-36hrs, giving some air cover.

pts: Expect intense JFS media coverage, but do not underestimate the role of Fatah Halab factions, both inside & outside besieged #Aleppo.

pts: Latest opposition gains shown on @Sham_Falcons map - substantial advances, but most challenging positions still ahead.

WHAT is extremely interesting is that the Syrian organization called SOHR which has been rather proRegime lazy in their reporting now fully supports the Assad regime....thus their number can no longer be trusted...

The Turkish-backed / Gulf-armed Sultan Murad Brigade (#FSA) is back west of #Aleppo, dealing blows to the regime.

Assad media said: 15 child killed Today by rockets falling on their school in the west #Aleppo
BTW today is Friday, No schools opened

What can be said for Assad and Putin propaganda..

BOTH Assad and Putin are running literally away from being blamed for killing school children in Hass so every time they get a propaganda chance...they try to change the narrative....away from themselves....
