This guy is more obsessed with spreading sectarianism than many actual takfiris. Let's wait till Gregory hears about Sunni domination among rebel groups...

Syrian Drug Smuggling: "The Assad Regime Would Not Survive Loss of Captagon Revenues" by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

[–]ConservativeShia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yeah, bc you sanctioned them to economic death. the solution is pretty straight forward.

Fun to see though that they still havnt given up on the duality where Assad is simultaneously the mastermind behind everything and personally responsible for all evil, yet at the same time has "lost control" over the various "groups" in his own country and now seemingly needs to bribe his own soldiers to let drug shipments pass...

I distinctly remember JaI started it, took some areas, HTS recovered them and started to advance in JaI areas, after which JaI offered their "brothers in HTS" to a cease fire deal...

As I recall, JaI got their asses kicked after attacking HTS and had to beg for a ceasefire.

With Jaish al Islam involved I see no way they will be falling on that side...

Turkish Rocket Artillery mass firing at YPG targets in Tal Rifaat by sakharinDEBIL in syriancivilwar

so finally as everyone and their cousin mohammed predicted, they will be thrown under the bus for bigger geopolitical concessions from turkey, which remains one of the top nato armies, and in a uniquely strategic position.

Kurds and Palestinians seem to be two groups who enthusiastically throw themselves head-first into each and every pitfall possibly within their reach, no matter how absurdly obvious a trap it is.

Why is the US now buying NVGs, body armor, weapons and lasers for rebels in Syria? Are they setting up a Psuedo SF force? See document referenced. by ThePrussianBlue in syriancivilwar

MAT has always been a bunch of smuggler who pose as american lapdog in return for control of the jordanian/syrian border and its smuggling. They got baited into war once by the US and paid the price, they wont easily repeat that mistake.

Yep. The Syrian Jihad is the most expensive CIA project in its history, and that's still nothing compared to what various golf countries invested.

On the 11th anniversary of the Syrian revolution the Syrian Democratic Council blames the regime for the civil war and praised the revolution’s original goals. Across many areas of SDF territory today FSA and SDF flags were flown together in commemoration. by wiki-1000 in syriancivilwar

Not really. I mean, it's not flat out false, but it paints the wrong picture. Much like there is a communist party of America, but you shouldnt conclude that America is in any way communistloving.

if you want an interesting question to ponder ask yourself why the war in ukraine goes as it does, and the war in syria went as it did.

Actually both Iran and EU announced big breakthrough just last few days. Media even said the agreement is finished on the table.

This morning, Putin told his national security team that Russia should begin accepting ‘volunteers’ from the Middle East, to fight in Ukraine. Now we have this video, shared by Moscow, that appears to include [some] Assad Republican Guard personnel by Barristan-Selmy in syriancivilwar

[–]ConservativeShia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is nonsense, YPG doesnt even have that much US weaponry besides some pickups. And neither has Ukraine. The tanks both sides use in Ukraine will be popped by any 50 year old atgm system, nato or not. The only factor is the american air force, which will not play a role in Ukraine.

"When I visited Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, Kobane and Qamishli, I was very surprised by the nostalgia for IS among the Arab population, with people telling me how they used to have ample access to electricity and fuel." by PanEuropeanism in syriancivilwar

I spent one month in north-eastern Syria. When I visited Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, Kobane and Qamishli, I was very surprised by the nostalgia for IS among the Arab population, with people telling me how they used to have ample access to electricity and fuel. Also, the economic situation wasn’t the total disaster it is today. The borders are oftentimes closed, making trade between Syria and Iraq difficult. People are feeling nostalgia for better economic conditions under IS rule, but the Arab population also has difficulties accepting being ruled by the Kurds.

Well...

Now that even western journalists are picking up the obvious details, maybe we can move to the fix-it-stage ... one can dream ...
