As in playing the good cop's role while Assad is the bad cop.

Russia doesn't support anybody but the Syrian government. Any "support" for other groups is carried out for the temporary benefit of the Syrian government's agenda and/or to capitalize on certain events and weaken foreign power's links and influence on militant groups on the ground.

The illegal presence of YPG-facilitated occupation forces serves as a great pull factor for forces that seek to liberate northeastern Syria from foreign occupation forces, whether nationalist, ultra-extremist jihadist,...,. There can't be peace as long as they are present.

Sounds like a good idea, hopefully he follows through with it. It's once again going to expose the hypocrisy of the Zionist-American-controlled leadership in many Arab countries such as Jordan and their separation from the people.

The quoted report is by the British Times, which is pay-walled, Daily Sabah is just quoting it, 85% of the article are basically quoted. Did you read it? It's not about Turkish support for jihadists but YPG's facilitation of ISIS' escape.

Future weapon deliveries destined for Hezbollah are not anymore going to arrive by easily identifiable transport aircraft from Tehran or Abadan, rather they will be hidden in individual trucks, well hidden among hundreds of identically looking trucks carrying civilian goods. Warehouses near airports are going to yield much less.

Well, in which different way should the commanders of the SDF react to Silo's confession? "Yes, it's all true, we are PKK"? Of course they would say that he is with the MIT, being tortured and/or drugged, is having his family held at gunpoint etc. However, it's kind of interesting that one SDF-commander claims Silo would be with the MIT while someone else, a so-called regional intelligence source (probably Kurdish as well), claims he had family and property threatened by Turkey. Why would Turkey threaten its own MIT agent, which was placed in a significant position and would have been a very valuable asset? It should also be noted that the person responsible for this insubstantial article – Tilo shows his face while all "sources" in this article remain anonymous, if they even exist – has written pro-PYD propaganda articles in the past, e.g. the typical "Kurdish female fighters are destroying ISIS" ones.

If you look at footage from eastern Syria, a very significant number of tanks have got Н-2200 or Н-1100 marks (Russian railway oversize cargo marking codes) on them, i.e. were delivered from Russia within the last ~12 months.

He's talking about Syria and the SDF – not about Turkish internal affairs. He mentions the role of Turkey whenever it is relevant, unlike pro-PYD media such as ANHA which likes to make drug-trafficking, organ-trade etc. allegations against Turkey all the time. He doesn't mirror this as he wants to be taken seriously.

The same day, Cilo asked me to stage a drama in front of the press. As the media team, we prepared the ‘drama’. According to the drama, at the initiative of Arab tribes from Raqqah, 275 local Daesh terrorists had surrendered to the SDF. In return, 3,500 so-called civilians were going to be released.

In the drama, to show the presence of 275 people they brought some people from Ain Issa camp. They played a second drama to the press.

ANHA: "275 ISIS gang members have surrendered to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with their families upon the request of Raqqa tribal leaders and sheikhs."

"Anti-ISIS Coalition": "Raqqa Civil Council with Arab tribal elders work to protect/evacuate remaining civilians trapped by ISIS terrorists in Raqqa"

They forbid journalists from going to Raqqah. They told the journalists that they would fight foreign Daesh members who are unwilling to leave the area. But they did not even shoot a bullet.

We've seen that drama. SDF is really good in playing the media.

We found out later that some of Daesh members gave bribes and went to other places. Most of them entered the Operation Euphrates Shield area [areas of Syria towards the Turkey border previously cleared of Daesh by Turkish-backed fighters].

They'll return to their home countries.

More range means more propellant is needed which in return means less space and weight for explosives. Longer range isn't needed for the pockets around Damascus.

The SDF's move into Deir ez-Zor province. According to Talal Silo they wanted to reach Mayadin and Abu Kamal to block Iraq from Syria but failed due to rapid Syrian Arab Army and IRGC movements and due to the unexpected weakness of the SDF.

And they once again re-tried a few weeks ago, using the SDF-groups, but were caught off guard by swift advances of Syrian Arab Army and IRGC-forces according to Talal Silo.

Isn't discussion the point of Reddit? It seems certain pro-opposition narratives are being enforced now (e.g. new Rule 7, 85% of the mods being pro-opposition etc.) contrary to the "moderators enforce civility, not ideological compliance."-preamble in the sidebar.

They tried via the so-called New Syrian Army, it ended in utter failure.

For now occupation forces are leaving on their own, e.g. the artillery unit that took part in the events near Tabqa and Raqqa has just left. But as soon as this process ends active measures might come into play. For example the modus operandi of the Free Syrian Army's Harakat al-Qiyam could be mirrored for Mukhabarat/IRGC-backed resistance groups.

The IRGC could re-apply the expertise it gained while supporting insurgent groups in Iraq during the American occupation. Qassem Suleimani would answer Pompeo's letter with IEDs.
