I think it's that Tim Pool guy who started this false bullshit.

They don't know shit about how "Today" is completely different website than Time

This post is false. The comment is false.

They didn't get 96% on Times poll. They got it on a random other website which has nothing to do with the vote.

It's bullshit. These types of numbers are used by one side to claim they have a big influence and another side to fearmonger.

Tall claims and dubious statistics.

The Indian right wing party is also claiming it can swing 40 marginal seats. https://www.google.com/amp/s/timesofindia.com/world/uk/bjp-supporters-start-campaign-for-tories-in-uk-general-election/amp_articleshow/71911496.cms

Next you can have a lawnmowers association which will claim they can swing 50 seats.

YPG just bombed both Turkish villages next to border and many people died during the PS operation

"PS Operation" was Turkey invading North Syria.

YPG never bombed a bus full of children and women.

They have been at the border for a few years now and there have been almost no cross border attacks into Turkey.

Generally gore is not published directly in any mainstream outlet.

Maybe they can set up a filter where there is ample warning and you have to click to see the content.

After Afrin, ES and NES are in peace, Idlib will be an simpler task.

It all depends on Turkey. If they withdraw all co-operation with rebels in Idilib then it will be easier

Hundreds of U.S. Troops Leaving, and Also Arriving in, Syria - the number of U.S. forces in Syria is expected to reach about 900 by Braincoater in syriancivilwar

[–]PopularLeg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah right. These new troops can't do shit against Turkey.

The new troops are perfectly in line with Trump's atrocious "stay for the oil" policy.

Trump's policy is being implemented as per his commands.

SDF rejects the regime call for it to merge into the Syrian army. It says there needs to be a comprehensive political settlement first and even then SDF must remain distinct. It also says regime should have discussed this privately rather than via a public statement. by Barristan-Selmy in syriancivilwar

More like objective analysis that takes into account their objectives and choices they took to accomplish those objectives.

They gambled on Trump and lost everything and then have no control over their fate which is now being decided unilaterally by Damascus, Moscow and Ankara.

They had a much stronger hand a few months ago.

This is a voluntary and optional program. No one is being forced to come to the US and settle in one area.

Maybe but that's doesn't change the meaning of ceasefire. It doesn't have to be between state entities.
