>>67760942
and what was that i didn't see much pressure from within russia to withdraw?
>>67760786
The planes and their pilots are inseparable

the same goes for the pilots
>>67760253
>>67760402
I dont think so
>>67761082
It's to put pressure on Assad and the rebels to negotiate. Russia has a lot of influence in Damascus, but it doesn't control it.
It also created tension between rebels and groups like Nusrats, which may have been an aim, or is simply an added benefit.
There are many theories floating around right now, but since the campaign only cost ~$700mil and they were winning I don't see any other reason but a political one.
>>67760576
Whats up with the bottom picture?
>>67760786
Syrian opposition was bitching how they won't negotiate until we stop bombing them. Probably that was the move to calm them down.
Also, this operation costed us 33 billion rubles. Our military budget is several trillions of rubles. 1usd = 69 rubles
>>67761547
so we cant afford it?
>>67761810
1 trillion = 1 000 billions

Hi there, I know /pol/ is all about Manichaeism but I did my studies about Yemen and I feel like I should share them with you, if anyone is interested in something else than "good Houthis against evil S.A»:
>Historical background:
Before 1990, South Yemen was a socialist country (the only on in the Middle-Est). After the unification, they felt buttfucked by the North and had to deal with it.
During 32 years, Saleh reigned and corrupted the country. Amongst other things he did, he tried to merge Zaidiyyah and Sunnism but another dickhead said "nope" and created the Houthis. At first it was no big deal but they grew bigger in the South after years of repression. Important point : Houthis are not related to Iranian Shiism, they are actually very close to Sunnism.
Fast forward 2011. Yemen goes thru a peaceful revolution process (compared to the rest of the Arab world) and within a year Saleh leaves. Mansour Hadi is chosen to drive the transition and, more or less, fails.
Houthis try to take over and eventually manage to capture Mansour Hadi. Meanwhile, Al Qaida (btw, their local leader is related to the founder of the Houthis, shows how close from Sunnism they actually are) starts to shit around too.
>Geopolitical situation:
The country is split in 3: Houthis + Pro Saleh VERSUS Al-Qaeda VERSUS loyal forces. Mansour Hadi fled to S.A. to get some help and managed to convince 10 country to join, all Sunni, to fuck with the south. Funny when you know that he’s from the south too, and likely to have ties with Zaidiyyah…
As you can see, at first religion wasn’t really a big deal (it is now). And if S.A., loyal forces and Al-Qaeda are working together is more that they all have the same enemy than because they are allies.
Add to this that Daesh arrived lately and you have a very complicated situation.
Those were my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
>>67762781
the key word in all of this is 'claim'
they may have claimed sovereignty but whether that holds up or not is a different thing
its simmilar to me claiming my spot of land is its own sovereign country
i'm sure putin may have an issue with me starting my own country within his....
>>67762620
Lol, have original pic?
Anyone got an a recent institute of war map?
>>67761302
Putin always throws a bone to Obama even when Obama has fucked him over every change he gets.
In 2013, he saved Obama politically with the chemical weapon deal when Obama wanted to bomb Libya and had like 4% support.
In 2015, the Donbass rebels were on the offensive, the Ukrainian army was in shambles, and the DNR probably would have taken Kiev by now- but Putin forced them to sign a ceasefire.
The same thing is happening here. He's withdrawing so the US can actually fight ISIS and save face- the only way they can after fucking up Syria so badly.
>>67762959
Isn't the Houthi-Saleh alliance pretty shakey? I've been seeing increasing reports in tension between the two factions. Taking into account also the history between Saleh's government and the Houthis.
It feels like when (or if) Hadi is removed from the picture, they are prone to turning on each other and creating a new dimension to the conflict.
>>67763478
why would putin throw obama a bone ever? it makes no sense
>>67763160
What does that mean?
http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/9/4/20130049>>67763160
We investigated fitness, military rank and survival of facial phenotypes in large-scale warfare using 795 Finnish soldiers who fought in the Winter War (1939–1940). We measured facial width-to-height ratio—a trait known to predict aggressive behaviour in males—and assessed whether facial morphology could predict survival, lifetime reproductive success (LRS) and social status. We found no difference in survival along the phenotypic gradient, however, wider-faced individuals had greater LRS, but achieved a lower military rank.

It makes perfect sense. Putin wants good relations with the United States. Even though the US gov keeps rejecting him, he keeps trying to get on their good side. He's hoping the US leadership will be sane and rational, and realize they need Russia as a partner more than they want it as an enemy.
I also forgot to mention the Iran deal- which even Obama admitted Putin played a big role in implementing.

c) Israel just doesnt give a fuck about what happens in Syria as long as noone crosses their border. (lets Assad deal with his trash, as long as they aren't in their back yard)
Assad is such a kind, gentle, intelligent man. I watch his interviews over and over again and I never get bored. It makes me even more angry at the stupidity of most Americans, who are bamboozled into thinking he's a "bloodthirsty tyrant" "massacring his own people".

He does not seem like a bad man in public, but he is still a politician. More importantly, he is not the entire government. Many under him are cruel, bad people. They destroyed multiple times reform he tried to bring to the country.
His government is the best chance his country has to not become Afghanistan 2, but I can understand why some rose up against it.
>>67764893
He and his government are a infinitely less cruel and bad than the insane criminals that are running this country
>>67764829
The fighters have similar ideologies (hence they switch allegiance so easily), but that does not mean they're fighting on the same side.
I don't like Sunni Islamist retards any more than you do but the rebels are not quite on the same level as ISIS or the Nusrats, at least the leadership isn't.

While I ultimately agree with you its important to remember that many FSA factions are Gulf-backed and will roll with similar Wahhabist ideologies
A fair share of FSA/NHC is under Muslim Brotherhood-control.
Friendly reminder:
Riad Mousa al-Asaad was the commander of the Free Syrian Army.
Riad al-Assad has made controversial statements such as suggesting that ethnic cleansing and suicide bombing are "an integral part of revolutionary action, of Free Syrian Army action."
----
Albey Ahmed Berri is the Chief of Staff of the Free Syrian Army.
Free Syrian Army forces under its command committed the Aqrab massacre in December 2012, resulting in 125-300 civilians killed, most of them from the Alawite minority.

actually its because we dont have independent policy, we just do what germany says so we cant do anything against the sanctions. Italy is still somewhat independent and the visegrad countries are also on the opposing block vs germany on the immigration matter thats why these countries may do something about the sanctions. but noone is going to jeopardise their position inside the eu for helping the russians. noones ties with the russians are strong enough to merit that kind of action

This, a billion times
Bashar Assad is a good guy but he inherited a tremendously corrupt and hamfisted government body from his father. Even Syrians who support FSA say the same. Bashar brought desperately needed reform when he first took over, but the statesmen and businessmen left over from Assad Sr.'s era had too much control and eventually forced him to take a back seat.

>Massive convoy of Syrian Army reinforcements leave Latakia for Palmyra
>The arrival of the Syrian Marines to Palmyra is likely going to swell the numbers of the government forces to approximately 5,000-5,500 military personnel, which should be enough soldiers to liberate the eastern countryside of Homs and the western countryside of Deir Ezzor from the ISIS terrorists.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/massive-convoy-syrian-army-reinforcements-leave-latakia-palmyra/
Fucking awesome. They are preparing to break through Palmyra and sweep the countryside into Deir Ez Zor. Things are going to accelerate a lot once Palmyra is retaken.
As for the declaration of a federal Syrian Kurdistan, I think it's getting hyped up to look like something more than it is. The initial announcement said the kurds were changing their system of governing from "canton self-administration" to "federal", which I think was the main intention with this, since a mere "declaration" doesn't change anything about what they can actually leverage militarily. Turkey may have changed the U.S.' position/level of support regarding kurds, but I think the kurds' approach towards SAA/Assad and their ambitions remain unchanged, and they seem to be keeping their neutrality/friendliness in that regard.
>>67772399
My guess is that while the negotiations will go for unified, sovereign Syria, Kurdish autonomy will happen not long after the war is officially over.
>>67771923

>>67761931
I fucking hate burgerfats and their stupid systems, always swimming against the stream
>>67772566
I expect the same. I don't think the kurds can go for full blown independence yet
it feels like the PYD/YPG is trying to keep things cool but the cooperating PKK is pushing for them to pull crazy shit because they want their "Northern Kurdistan" as well. This is just a feeling though
>>67771175

>>67772796
No, the Kurds themselves have said that an actual Kurdistan, as in a country, can not work for various reasons. They are looking for political representation and autonomy at the moment.

Yes, the left has failed so completely in the west, that everybody forgot what it was all about. They had an agenda about social progress and economy, their main point was always economy and now they just argue about feelings. Liebknecht etc. would have killed themselves if they knew what their movement will become.
And it will never come back, all social progress is now made by the conservatives and they are actually better at it as long they don't go Merkel-mode.

Patriot provides autonomous engagement of ballistic threats. Kinda hard to imagine how even Saudis could fuck that up.
They have the system. Would make little sense for them to not deploy it after getting burned by the first time.

>>67785667
what is better patriot or s-400?
>>67786219
Opinions vary.
Looks like cia sponsored them a bit. See how they are rebranded as "the oposition" they want to install them instead of assad, or create a political force backed by cia to carry on their dirty deeds
>>67786219
Both are probably good since they represent iterations on established platforms.
Only one of them has seen trial by fire though.
>>67786219
not really comparable, the S-400 is a SAM complex that uses 3/4 different missiles to cover it's performance envelope. The medium range 9M96 seems offers similar range compared to the PAC2 Patriot missile. I guess nobody here can tell you more about this stuff, i bet more in depth information is classified. And even if it weren't, this stuff hasn't really been tested in combat between two parties that are on the same technological level, so who knows how it'll work out there...

The people who control the territory call it the Islamic State. Doesn't matter if you accept it or not. It's the same like pretending Crimea is Ukraine
>>67762959
>Houthis are not related to Iranian Shiism, they are actually very close to Sunnism.
That's just not true, they're much closer to the Sunnis in their jurisprudence but the believe in Imamate, if you believe in this concept you are a Shia to the Shia and not a Sunni to the Sunnis.
Also, Khomeinism is much closer to Zaydism than it is to Twelvers!
>>67795265
also knowing Islam =/= practicing Islam
But by their (and some other mil. of Wahhabis) they do practice it. They are the only one that pratice it correctly (by their definition).

syria is a goldmine for weapon's manufacturers, they sell to both sides so they need them to keep fighting, if the rebels get too powerful, the reduce arms and bomb them, if assad gets too powerful, they stop helping him out for a while
the srian civil war is being milked so hard, its way better than actually invading a country like they did in iraq, more profits, and yes its the kikes

i accept that theyre in control of it. doesnt make it any more islamic because they call it so. just like almost every dictatorship has the name democratic somewhere in its name.

According to who? It was my understanding that almost all learned in islam dismiss it and as a matter of fact that the core of ISIS are to a large part former Saddam Baathists (secularists) that use the Quran very selectively (wartime verses) to create propaganda for disillusionized idiots all over the globe to be footsoldiers for them.

And a hundred billion dollar pipeline through the most unstable region of the world that only gives you access to a single stagnant market isn't?
Literally no serious analyst is talking about the prospect of these pipelines, only some amateur geopolitical hacks and conspiretards on /pol/.
The real profit is in selling LNG to the Asian market where there is actual demand growth for decades to come and high prices. (which is why Qatar is the richest country in the world per capita)
>>67803516
Don't talk about shit you don't understand, Hans.
Multiple LNG terminals are already currently under construction in Europe, let alone all across Asia for LNG imports from USA and Qatar etc.
Meanwhile Russia can't even get financing, not even from China, to actually build their Siberian pipeline to China that they announced with great pomp and circumstance after a nearly a decade of negotiation and major concessions on price.
If Russia was really """"backing"""" a pipeline from Iran to Europe (which they would never do for obvious reasons), they would just transit the Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan or even the Caspain Sea if they couldn't get an agreement with Turkey or Azerbaijian/Georgia
A fucking 5 year old could figure out how to draw a line from the South Pars/North Dome gas field for either Iran or Qatar that doesn't go through Syria, seriously you're fucking retarded if you can't figure this out.
