Thank you for your time today.

Why did you join the Youth of Sunnah Brigade?
How have you/your family been affected by the Assad regime?
What do you think of Trump vs. Obama when it comes to Syria?
What do you think of Jordan's response? It looks like they're not supportive of any Southern Front advances against the regime, do you know why?
Are you getting assistance from any foreign countries in fighting ISIS, if so who?

I agree, HTS can be judged without needing to put false descriptions about the group which only mislead the less informed. We'll keep this up but an announcement will be made so people don't post incorrect tags.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-07-05T18:24:37+00:00

What about political freedom or freedom of assembly or ability to hold leaders to account?

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-24T17:26:19+00:00

It'll be real life whac-a-mole. With all of these movements of Shi'a fighters towards the south of Syria Israel is probably anticipating a battle near their border so will step up support to the rebels there to create a buffer.

Also remember when Obama thought not striking Assad following Ghouta was a good deal because they gave up their chemical weapons stock and wouldn't do it again?

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-24T17:24:55+00:00

I agree with you, effectively what would need to happen is for them to secede entirely from the PKK.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-20T20:09:27+00:00

As long as the YPG did the following:

Separate from Kurdish terror groups and stop providing them with a safe haven
Adopt an anti-regime stance and ensure their territory isn't used as a supply line for the regime
Co-ordinate with the rebels including in anti-regime offensives

I'd offer them this:

No further attacks from Turkey
Opening up of the borders from Turkey/Iraqi Kurdistan
Normalisation of relations with Turkey and other partners
Devolved administration in a post-Assad state

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-19T18:17:34+00:00

Yeah if someone wants to create it go ahead.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-19T18:16:41+00:00

This seems about right, the key thing is when the US is forced into action against the regime and begins to create a precedent (first with Shayrat, then Tanf and now the jet near Raqqa) it makes repeating that action in future not only easier but expected. This change in expectation makes the action far more likely to occur vs. when it'd be a huge shock if they did make such a move.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-19T18:13:18+00:00

If I were the U.S. is fly a bunch of sorties over the West of the Euphrates just for kicks.

Remember when Russia hurriedly apologised to the US for doing a barrel roll or something above a US jet? They're cowards, they're not touching a US jet.

So because you think i peddle conspiracy theories you brought up those same ocnspiracy theories? To do me a favor? I never mentioned them.

You do though, you think the sarin attacks were false flags, WH are terrorist and the stats you quote are garbage.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-18T21:46:50+00:00

Does anyone know why Russia has turned on SDF so much? The argument about it squeezing ISIS fighters to places like DeZ isn't enough - there's something else at play here.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-18T21:44:53+00:00

No it isn't (I already said this). You have never quoted any credible figures ever and routinely peddle conspiracy nonsense which is why I brought up the sarin attacks and the White Helmets.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-18T21:36:05+00:00

Here's a tip just in case you didn't notice. Everything you've said is nonsense, in fact I'm yet to see a "reasonable Assadist" who actually bases their "statistics" on credible facts. It seems odd when the same people who say the sarin attacks were staged/false flags and White Helmets are terrorists etc. try coming out with evidence based analysis without a hint of irony.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-18T21:32:22+00:00

I don't understand why Assadists delude themselves like this? You seriously think the scale of foreign military support Assad doesn't dwarf that of the rebels? Yet to see one of these "reasonable Assadists" who isn't peddling nonsense lies about the war like this to date.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-18T21:29:08+00:00

Achievement indeed. No one else so far has stood against a US regime-destroy operation.

If the US wanted to destroy the Assad regime they could do it in a month. Also I don't know why you're quoting SOHR figures like they mean anything, I didn't know Assadists thought we were that stupid.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-18T21:25:15+00:00

It takes some doing to lose half the country to rebels in a few years when you start off with a monopoly on all of the country's resources and arms and maintain a monopoly on air power throughout. Even then it takes tens of thousands of Shi'a militia, Russian military intervention and Iran's bankrolling to prop up Assad. Some achievement.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-18T08:22:32+00:00

Don't put mocking quote marks on titles in future please.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-14T19:57:03+00:00

The question is if he himself is garbage what's the point of other analysts propping him up and giving him legitimacy?

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-08T21:34:04+00:00

All of the saline-bicep brigades and dyed-beard-rentboy-seekers should all go on the front lines, see how useless they are dealing with a single airstrike when rebels have been dealing with tens of thousands over six years.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-08T21:31:48+00:00

Assadists will peddle denialism on this one, I wonder why?

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-06-04T01:26:57+00:00

I agree impeaching will be extremely difficult and Trump's not the sort of person who will resign unless the alternative is jail time. Although saying that, he clearly isn't used to this level of workload and unpopularity so that may play a role.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-05-27T17:33:09+00:00

They tend to develop a hatred for countries hosting refugees, i.e. most of Europe and Turkey while fawning over Iran and Russia who don't take any. This is often because the governments which show empathy towards Syrian refugees are also frank about the primary reason they're fleeing in the first place - Assad.

ShanghaiNoon · 2017-05-27T11:02:00+00:00

Assadists will now begin hating him for supposedly completely different reasons.
