The most /pol/ tier response I have ever read. I ask him substantiate his claims because his information is usually recycled pro SAA bullshit. Some of us actually follow the conflict and are interested in accurate information about it not just jerking it over slavs dropping bombs on shitskins.

I am not very emotionally involved like some here think I am. I have learned more about weapons, tactics and human behavior following the Syrian war (mainly) than any conflict I have ever read about. This never ending war is the gift that keeps on giving.
>>27779660
oh and their new thing is posting body counts , like it's Vietnam all over again. You kill x amount of rebels and y will be the result.... a interesting response to the TOW videos.
>>27779660
I agree, I am more interested to see the geopolitical ramifications of this and how each side fights. I don't actually care who wins but I would like to know what the score is while I watch the game.
Lastly early morning reports are of heavy shelling in Daraa. I expect another SAA/ally push there today. They already showed their hand in the pre assault artillery.
>>27779733
and more early info coming. Heavy combat in both Ghoutas. If you recall the SAA backed with Ruaf have made new progress in certain parts of eastern ghouta. It's been a hard slug fest though so don't expect there to be any major changes in the lines today.
Southern Aleppo again as the SAA and friends make a attempt at Al Hadher and vicinity. It could be decisive if they take it. Al Nursa at the same time has other plans as they continue their counter attack in the same area. Breaking... FSA already reported killing armor/technical and killing many SAA along with them in southern Aleppo.
Keep a watch on Al Hawl, IS at the supply choke points, Latakia , Hama , Homs.
I'm probably going to be asleep when the real action starts.

The regime forces opened fire of heavy machine guns on areas in the towns of Western Samadaniyya and Hamidiya in the countryside of Al-Quneitra, and there were no information about injuries.
Lattakia Province:
The number of soldiers of the regime forces who were killed in clashes with the rebel and Islamist factions around the village of Ghamam in the northern countryside of Lattakia has risen to 8 at least, information reported that the regime forces retake the whole village again.
Hama Province:
The rebels factions targeted by a guided missile a regime forces’ Shilka on al- Masasnah checkpoint on the northern countryside of Hama killing its crew.
The regime warplanes carried out several raids on the villages of Lahaya, Ma’er Kebbah and Letmin in the northern countryside of Hama leading to wound some rebels.

>>27780119

>>27780133
what sources do you use? Im trying to find a good one and while Institute for the Study of War is good, it takes a while for them to publish their findings. Adversely, SOHR publishes quickly (compared to ISW) but they aren't as in depth.
>>27780124
correct me if im wrong but: Ahrar Ash Sham isn't part of the FSA. Yes they're working with them (for the time being), but they aren't FSA.

>>27776858

>>27780164
Any news on the Kurds advance on Raqqa? Last I heard was that they will be in a position to attack the city in a few weeks, but then the chatter on that offensive died down
>>27780191
They're focusing on clearing Hasakah governate right now. They've been fighting to take control of Al-Hawl, and then they're going to push south towards the Euphrates.
I doubt the YPG is actually going to go into Raqqa city, they're probably going to pave the way there for the new Syrian Democratic Forces (really the only good Syrian Rebels at this point) to take the city. It will probably be a long time before that happens. Raqqa is heavily reinforced, it won't fall that easily. The operation will probably happen alongside the liberation of Mosul.
>>27780191
Maybe, 11 airstrikes in Raqqa today. It was quite a show. May even be a softening up attempt.
On another IS note "surprise" (lol) IS on the outskirts of T4 again. Those fuckers love to switch up their attacks. They always seem to control the tempo and always surprise.
IS also attacking non IS rebels near northern Daraa. Damn i'm going to bed soon and SHTF already.
>>27777790
its kinda sad it wasnt a shoot down, NATO would have had to back off from Ruskie intervention and with it happening over Sinai, big Sisi and the pain squad would probably step up to the fight
>>27776858

don't expect the KAB 1500Kr TV's to be used a lot. Russia is using the poor generals arsenal since they are in a recession and know they are in it for the long run.
They'll whip out their nicer toys once in a while in order to do a "media shoot" but then they'll revert back to their cheaper weapons once no one is looking.
Just look at all those "amazing ballistic missiles" Russia used on a pile of dirt and a few ISIS goat farmers a while back. They stopped as soon as they got what they wanted: a show of force

so what seems to be the saa's plan in aleppo? they are gaining ground like a mother fucker in south aleppo but they still cant get to the air base
>>27780639
Part of the plan is to get to the air base, If they can relieve the towns of Nubl and Zahraa, they could then threaten to cut off insurgent elements inside Aleppo by driving from Nubl towards SAA positions in western Aleppo. If this happens, insurgent forces will be forced to fight in the open more often (as there are only a few towns that are spread out between Nubl and the outskirts of Aleppo) in order to stop the advances of the SAA and are then prone to aerial strikes, risk being cut off in Aleppo or retreat from the city.

This. Serbs have less Slavic genetics than their Muslim Bosnian neighbours, funnily enough the Croats have the most Slavic genetic material from those three groups.
>>27780963
well they were raped for hundreds of years, I mean so we're Bosnians and Croats but much less so, they mainly targeted Christians and at the time Bosnians were persecuted by the church so they just left it
>>27780963
That's because most of today's "croats" are catholic serbs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14QVGo6B8CM
>>27780976
No they aren't, they have genetic material that predates the arrival of any Slavs by thousands of years, this genetic material is present in all three groups of people but you look at the proportions of it in relation to the other genes. Croats and Bosniaks have genetic material that predates Slavs, there is no way Serbs and Croats arrived there prior to this, the numbers simply don't show it.
>>27780976
serbs are mudbloods, if Croats were Serbs then Serbs would have higher proportions of I haplogroup, but they don't, sorry about your theory

And I like how Der Spiegel has closed the comment section preemptively, so that we cannot point this out.
I dont want to live on this planet anymore.
5 star back. Good reports for non IS rebels today. What happened in Daraya, much earlier, is said as FSA elements had ambushed SAA forces who were gathering to attack in Daraya. They caught them off guard and killed ALOT of them. What happened since was SAA retaliation by shelling the shit out of the area. The SAA was very pissed over the ambush.

>>27782220
I don't know the exact number , it's being described as a massacre.

I know it is a low thing to do. After Douma was smashed by airstrikes in civilian areas the rebels wanted payback. It's the dirtiest type of war you can imagine when civilians are free game but that line has already been crossed a long time ago.
Killing of the leader of the "Al-Nusra Front," "Abu Bakr Hazani" shot dead by the army in the northern countryside of Latakia.
I see a lot of progress in the rebel offensive in Hama as well. Jaf has smashed though regime lines at Tall Othman. So much for Ruaf air support right guys?

I am sure you all have already seen this but the evidence is mounting that a bomb was on board Airbus A321 where 224 Russian tourists died over Egypt.
Some Jihadist smuggled a bomb on board. That's been my theory since early yesterday and I am sticking to it now. He blew it when the flight leveled off. Likely in the bathroom so no one could see him pull it out.

I agree and the rebels overblow their enemies loses all of the time. This time the new "body count" 'leader dead count" on pro SAA/allies media is simply trying to respond to the TOW videos which clearly got under their skin and showing the Russian air power as helping.

Whenever men from two different countries get tired of hanging out with their significant others they could do a false flag and declare war on one another.

According to Suvorov all tanks participating are later scrapped due to outliving the service hours. i.e. T55 may run for 500 hrs only; then it is stripped to hull; given a new engine, FCS, etc. Another 250 hours and renoved T55 is considered useless.
>>27790221
But like "FUCK, we sure made them capitalist fascists shit their pants, had fun in the process and a T-55 costs three liters of sourmilk and a can of herring to make, 100% worth it!"

Everyone was throwing resources into Europe after the war because things actually mattered there.
Who is going to sink billions into Syria once this is over not matter who wins? At least Libya has oil and only 6 million inhabitants.
>>27790316
>Everyone was throwing resources into Europe
The Marshall Plan was peanuts, adjusted for inflation.
130 billion dollars in today's money. For an entire continent.
And everyone's throwing resources at Syria as well.
>Who is going to sink billions into Syria once this is over not matter who wins?
Everyone.
The US alone has already given Syria 4.5 billion in the context of this crisis.

my how politically correct of you! too bad its not true.
Specific studies of Slavic genetics followed. In 2007 Rębała and colleagues studied several Slavic populations with the aim of localizing the Proto-Slavic homeland.[77] The significant findings of this study are that:
Two genetically distant groups of Slavic populations were revealed: One encompassing all Western-Slavic, Eastern-Slavic, and few Southern-Slavic populations (north-western Croats and Slovenes), and one encompassing all remaining Southern Slavs. According to the authors most Slavic populations have similar Y chromosome pools — R1a. They speculate that this similarity can be traced to an origin in the middle Dnieper basin of Ukraine during the Late Glacial Maximum 15 kya.[78]
However, Southern-Slavic populations including the Bosnians, Croats (excluding north-western Croatia), Serbs, Bulgarians and Macedonians are clearly separated from the tight DNA cluster of the rest of the Slavic populations. According to the authors this phenomenon is explained by "... contribution to the Y chromosomes of peoples who settled in the Balkan region before the Slavic expansion to the genetic heritage of Southern Slavs ..."[78]

Not to mention the USSR's drive for reparations from Germany especially. They essentially de-industrialised their sector of occupation. Caused all sorts of issues for the GDR, even though the Soviets eventually ceased and began to try and prop up the East German economy.
>>27790355
>I2 nigger
>>27790335
There were loans that are not included in the relief plan not to mention the shipments of food and other resources vital to reconstruction like iron and wood at a reduced price. And that’s not mentioning the armies of combat engineers and administration staff from both western powers and Soviet forces as they tried to exert their influence over the remains of Europe.
Simply put the Marshal plan was far from the only thing that was sent to Europe, It just happens to be the most well-known,
>The US alone has already given Syria 4.5 billion in the context of this crisis.
That's approximately one billion a year and I bet you that that is going to be reduced once the war is over and the news moves on to other things, just like Afghanistan.
>>27782943
that looks fake as fuck breh.
>>27790399
You think Iran, Russia, the US, Saudi Arabia, ... aren't going to be foaming at the mouth to rebuild Syria to extend their influence?
>That's approximately one billion a year
Yes, and the war isn't even over yet.
The EU spent 4.2 billion on Syria in that same timeframe too.
And the UN as a separate entity pledged another 6.5 billion for Syria.
That's 15.2 billion from the US, EU, and UN alone.
That's without the aid from the Muslim world and Russia.
And then there's all the other help from around the world, be it refugee asylum, the supply of food and medical care, ...
>I bet you that that is going to be reduced once the war is over
No.
That's when the real money will start rolling in for reconstruction, like Iraq.
>just like Afghanistan
Afghanistan isn't over yet bucko.
You're a raging idiot if you think Syria can in any way be compared to the devastation that was WWI and WWII.
>>27784131

Any good news about our democratic rebels?
>>27790458
>You think Iran, Russia, the US, Saudi Arabia, ... aren't going to be foaming at the mouth to rebuild Syria to extend their influence?
The side that wins doesn’t need to do anything more since they will pretty much already have all the influence that they need. I mean do you honestly think that if Assad wins he will go to the Iranians or Russians and say what? ‘Give me money or else!’
>The EU spent 4.2 billion on Syria in that same timeframe too.
On Syria isn’t the same as in Syria nor in the Syrian economy. Much of that money goes to refuge camps outside Syria and on food and medicine.
>And the UN as a separate entity pledged another 6.5 billion for Syria.
Of which only 2.4 billion was given since the UN doesn't have any founds and has to appeal to donors. And that includes the offers by Arab countries.
>No. That's when the real money will start rolling in for reconstruction, like Iraq.
Reconstruction of Syria is nothing like reconstruction of Iraq since in Iraq there was a vital resource industry that could pay for it later, not to mention that the war in Iraq was hardly as damaging as the Syrian one. And if we’re talking about Iraq then you should know that much of that money was spent on trying to bring down corruption and institutional failures. You think it will be any cheaper in Syria?
>Afghanistan isn't over yet bucko.
Of course its not over. I'm talking about the Soviet intervention and how Arab/western/Soviet donors sank billions into it during that war only to pack up and go home after it was done.
>You're a raging idiot if you think Syria can in any way be compared to the devastation that was WWI and WWII.
Well at least you’re right on one thing. Post-war Syria will not be compared to post-war Europe, it will be a shithole mired in ruins for years to come. Not as bad as some sub-Saharan African countries, but hardly a new Lebanon and that’s being generous.

This is a video of the Khannisr road being reopened today. Great victory for the SAA if they can keep the road safe.....
However IS may have just cut another part of the main supply road (by Mahin) and the SAA has to scramble to re open it again. Nobody is sure if IS was able to cut it yet. This area is also a major regime supply choke point.

Which is why the US never instated the Marshall plan in Europe right? Because they won?
I'm not going to waste any more time reading your demented bullshit posts.
Europe was extremely fucked up after both WWI and WWII, far worse than this Syrian war.
And every time Europe bounced back after like five years, better than ever.
Saying "nobody can win in Syria because it's blasted to bits" is a stupid thing to say considering the above.
>>27791308

>>27791308
>Which is why the US never instated the Marshall plan in Europe right? Because they won?
They won, but it wasn't as if history ended with that. Half of fucking Europe was under Soviet control and a way to prevent the rest of it from falling due to perceived Marxist expansion amongst the population was to shore up the existing US friendly governments. If anti-Assad forces win then who the hell will there be near Syria to challenge the winners? Jordan? Turkey? Iraq?
All of these are already up to their neck in US spunk anyway.
>Europe was extremely fucked up after both WWI and WWII, far worse than this Syrian war.

I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself, but unlike you I will have the patience and do it as many times as possible in the hopes of something getting through your ignorant fucking skull and hopefully stick there.
Syria is not fucking Europe. Saying ‘’B-but Europe was rebuilt!’’ means jack shit since Europe actually mattered to every great power in the industrial, political, technological, economical and military sense.
Can Syria be rebuilt? Well of course it can, there is nothing stopping it except foreign money, foreign manpower, foremen expertise and foreign ensured security.
Will it be in the same sense as Europe even if it has three times as long time to do it? No.
A win is a win but for the western powers an Assad victory won’t diminish shit since Syria wasn’t actually part of the western backed world when this started.

Some guy on twitter is saying there was AC-130 air cover for the SDF/YPG offensive on AL Hawl.
US proxy forces with US SF embedded are on the march into IS territory. The AC-130 is one badass CAS platform. A single AC-130 can flatten a small city.
>>27791446
>but it wasn't as if history ended with that
You just said "if they win there's no need to do anything more".
Can you see how you're just contradicting yourself with stupid bullshit?
>Syria is not fucking Europe.
So fucking what?
Europe was utterly devastated, and rebuilt in a very short time with a bit of help.
Syria is not even close to the same level of devastation, and they're getting tons of help already, so why could they not rebuild?
>>27791480
Calm down, it has a single artillery piece.
>>27791492
But it's flying artillery, let me say that again ...it's flying around and it's artillery. Yes it can flatten a small city.

>>27791489
>You just said "if they win there's no need to do anything more".
>Can you see how you're just contradicting yourself with stupid bullshit?
Of course I said two different things since I keep telling you that post-war Syria will be nothing like post-war Europe.
If Assad wins then he will be left with Iran and Russia as only possible allies willing to give large amounts of relatively free money since the Chinese actually charges for the things that they build, be it in money or ownership of vital infrastructure. You think that he will be able to turn to the west for free money? So there is no need for these power to try to get more influence since he’s not going any ware.
If the rebels win then the US/EU/Saudis won’t need to give money since it’s probable that by that time the radical Sunnis will have take over and after killing Shi’ites, Iranians and Hezbollah soldiers for five, or how many years it takes to win, they sure as hell won’t suddenly join the Iranian/Russian camp. Not that the Russians/Iranians will be offering any money.
>So fucking what? Europe was utterly devastated, and rebuilt in a very short time with a bit of help.
You keep saying that if Europe can do it then so can Syria without acknowledging that the circumstances that allowed for it to happen in Europe are far different than those in Syria. It’s like saying that if Nordic socialism works in Scandinavia then there should be no reason for it not to work in Mexico or Zimbabwe or China or France.
>Syria is not even close to the same level of devastation, and they're getting tons of help already, so why could they not rebuild?
Have you seen the help that they are getting? It’s not so much as money as it is in already made products like tents, medicine, food and even then the UN is saying that it’s far from sufficient.
No one is giving them a blank check to invest in their economy nor will they anytime soon.
>>27791661
>I keep telling you that post-war Syria will be nothing like post-war Europe
Right.
Because I need to be told this.
Europe suffered far greater devastation and bloodshed than Syria, and rebuilt in like five years.
Saying "nobody can win in Syria because it's blasted to bits" is a stupid thing to say considering the above.
>>27774914
Assad's gotta go. He's making the destabilization that the Amerifats started even worse. The US should give their rebels Stingers: Fuck the Sovietski.

>>27779377
> just get cut up between Israel and Syria other neighbors?
Unlikely.
Israel doesn't seem to be interested in any territorial expansions aside some political movements calling to annex Judea and Samaria somewhere in the far future (and equally large movements calling for complete withdraw and detachment from it).
Syria is not to stay. Tactically looking at things- one might conclude it's too much of a mess to make assumptions, but global view at inner and outer forces influencing the war point almost exclusively to Assad's eventual fall (an option even Russia considers). Combined with the ever growing consensus of rejecting the colonial enforced state structure by the people- Syria is unlikely to ever return to it's former self and will likely dissolve until eventually morphed into what ever new state entity will emerge from the regional turmoil.
What's left? Iraq? Little is left of it and is more likely than Syria to suffer the fate I described for it.
Jordan? While relatively stable for now, the situation there is complex and it's possible we'll see a similar story to Syria, but with "the rebels" having favored chances of winning and doing it fast. And it's too weak nowdays to support such expansion.
Egypt is too far, blocked by Israel and too focused on keeping their own stability to go on another adventure in the ME.
Last option is Iran, and that's interesting one due to many aspects (one of them is getting Israel worried- which always leads to all sorts of happenings). They have the will to expend their influence/power score, the military to support such move, their economy is stabilizing (thanks Obama) and their political power and influence is growing immensely (darn it Obama, just stop).
The last variable I won't even try to predict is Russia- Putin is too much even for me to delve into.
>>27791854
>Allowing the jihadis to take control
I said the Amerifats should give stingers to THEIR rebels, the moderates, who would then wind up the victors. Admittedly, only incrementally better, but the alternative is scorched earth.
>Jihadis: "Death to America!"
>Moderates: "Severe Illness to America!"
>>27791915
>the moderates, who would then wind up the victors
No, they really wouldn't.
The "moderates" have been playing second fiddle to the jihadis for years now.
A lot of the "moderate" groups are still around only because they're useful to the jihadis.

The fact that people like you exist is troubling. Do you fall down a lot?
Breaking: Jaf is advancing on Morek in northern Hama.
Reports all day have been of armor kills in the area and now rebels are pushing the outskirts.
The rebel offensive in northern Hama has not only reversed SAA gains but are now gaining into long held regime areas.

Opening the highway doesn't make a difference because IS might take it back?

you dumb niggers IS has rumored to close the highway by Mahin which means exactly what I said. They simply closed the highway at another point.
>>27792060
I report SAA gains equally. If the SAA wasn't getting their teeth kicked in Hama I would not have to report rebel gains
>>27791956
count the numbers.
-"Secular" FSA: 40-50K (35K of which only in the south)
- Jihadis: 108K (conservative estimate)
Bullshit "secular" FSA divisions like "Division 13" get armed with TOWs from the US, and are openly supported by wahhabi Saudi Arabia.
Even though "Division 13" is pitifully small (1,800 men according to themselves), and they operate in Idlib, which is entirely dominated by the likes of Nusra and Ahrar.
FSA components like "Division 13" are obvious jihadi puppets, kept around for the TOWs, which played a pretty huge part in the conquest of Idlib by Nusra and Ahrar.
>>27792062

I never said this. My first post was that it was stupid to compare what happened in Europe and the subsequent rebuilding to what happens in Syria and it's possible rebuilding.
>>27792273
at least get a proper trip so I can filter you
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/04/us-egypt-crash-cause-idUSKCN0ST2HJ20151104
Breaking : anonymous source in the investigation says it looks like there was a explosion on the Russian airbus flight. I was right motherfuckers.
To recap my theory: a Jihadist smuggled a bomb on the flight. He waited until the flight leveled off. He then went to the bathroom and activated the bomb where no one would see what he was doing. Boom goes the shitter and the rest of the plane.
>>27792284
So what are you saying?
Syria could rebuild, but it would be different from Europe's rebuilding?
YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY
My only point was Syria COULD rebuild, a lot of countries have rebuilt from a lot worse, so it's stupid to say "nobody can win anymore".
>>27792267
Look at a map clown , it's the same supply route only much closer to Damascus. It's actually a worse spot to lose for the SAA because it cuts off more than Aleppo. It cuts off the entire northern half of the country.
>>27792333
>it's the same supply route
No it's not you fucking dumbass.
Mahin isn't even on any supply route, and it's almost on the other side of the country.
