>>71111312
They're still trying. After the last time they sneaked into Khanasser SAA has created a buffer zone, where IS is holed up now. The road isn't cut yet.

>>71112565
I was feeling the same way, then the last two weeks happened. Russian withdrawing was a huge mistake, the rebels and ISIS have noticeably benefited from less air harassment.

Depends. The uncle of aa friend of mine moved there. Bought a former kolkhoz south of Wolgograd and is a very succesful farmer.
He sometimes comes back for visits. He says that you can have a very good and a much more comfy life in Russia. If you have problems you solve them personally and not through a lawyer.
Only negative thing is the corruption. He has to bride nearly everyone he does buisness with. Not at a for his buisness dangerous level mind you that but netherless.

We need to update the Developments
So i've been ignoring all this syria shit for ages. Whats up?
The only hope to defeat ISIS now is the Iraqi forces are on a roll, and will win a total victory after Mosul and may start pushing in from the east. Even with lucking into equipment like in Khanasser and Northern Aleppo, ISIS are losing so many fighters they will not be able to maintain their war effort for more than 2 or 3 years. I honestly am flabbergasted they still throw away so many guys in Deir Ez Zorr- they must be running quite low on ideologically driven non conscripts.
When will this offensive in Alleppo Kick off?
They only made some small gains.
Also, Can anyone inform me what this revoluition is all about, what do those rebels want?
Why did the people go out and protests?
Abu Azrael was killed yesterday in Aleppo

The Arabs only managed to conquer half of the island for a few years before they were driven back by the Byzantine emperor.
No significant change ever even happened.
Greeks came to Cyprus in the 14th century B.C. for fuck's sake.
>>71114442
>Why did the people go out and protests?
At first they wanted Assad to step down and release Saudi funded Islamists from prisons.
Now almost all the rebel factions want Sharia law.
I bet civilians just wish all this never happened.
The Aleppo offensive should start when they remove IS from the vicinity of Khanasser and secure the supply route properly.
>>71111002
Basically, yeah
They're almost entirely the same

This was the Damascus Spring back in 2000/2001. Funnily enough, Assad did release the islamists, only to imprison the secular opposition later because why not.

No, the ones who are most likely rotting in prison (or in a shallow grave). Those who are working with the Al Qaeda are the ones Assad naively released during the Damascus Spring.
>>71115774

Yaaaaaaawnnnnn. The offensive they have been boasting about since 2 weeks.
Oh boy, it is sure going to happen any moment now!
The syrian army is still an incompetent mess i see. The tiger forces are looking good in contrast, but i wonded how they would perform against serious opposition.
also: how can you amass ten thousand men around aleppo and lose your buffer zone around khanasser?
>>71117583
t. refugee who was too much of a pussy to stay and fight
>>71117815
Well, the NFD is incompetent as fuck
They're basically like Soviet conscripts
>>71117907
I mean NDF
>>71117815
I am surely no refugee but thanks. I would welcome a victory of assad, but the saa is fucking incompetent and there is no way to deny it. Latakia was won by the hezbollah and iranian mechanised infantry, palmyra by the tiger forces, russian specops and airforce, north aleppo? Tiger forces, hezbollah and russian airforce.
and while this happens the rest of the saa loses the only threatened road for supply again and again and again.
>>71118007
this guy is kinda right tho. what you guys think about military rankings in syria?
i cant decide but it must be something like
1-isis
2-ypg
3-saa
4-fsa
im not counting like russia, hezbollah etc
>>71118007
>but the saa is fucking incompetent and there is no way to deny it
Pretty sure ISIS and FSA aren't any good either. SAA are improving though.
>>71116710
Yeah that seems so obviously terrible to leave behind things like the artillery and light vehicles/technical. There was a 4x4 nice one with a recoiless rifle they left. Maybe they didn't have enough personnel to crew all those vehicles? I'm thinking they probably didn't retreat on foot
>>71118446
Oh i do not want to make a point for them, but they are fine with stalling the conflict after all, at leat isis.
>>71118239
YPG is probably the best in terms of organization but their equipment are rather poor, why can't a foreign power back them 100%?
would it trigger a full blown conflict with Turkey?
this war would be oer already
>>71119167
Yeah fuck any syrian rebel.. just give £200 mil to the kurds.. can't make it worse lol
Bump
>>71119167
I dont think it would affect turkey conflict atm. and trust me if YPG would get same help as FSA or SAA. everything would be way different. radical muslims sharia lovers would btfo already.
but grand sultan hates YPG or kurds I dont know. he wil ltry to prevent any help to YPG.

Question to you fags.
I'm kind of uneducated about syria, but I see that 90% of people on these threads prefer Assad a lot more than the FSA. My question is: Why is Assad better than the FSA?
Isn't he just your standard dynsatical opressive dictator? I know that a bunch of Free Syrians are just your standard raghead islamists, but surely they have some actual democrats between them?
I understand that the FSA winning could entail in a Lybia debaucle again, but Assad has killed thousands just to cling to power
>>71116914

>>71123366
wtf you are probably turkish so imagine ataturk times ( I really like him) when he was trying to create turkish republic and get rid of ottoman empire, he didnt have any parties, he was alone in the command. after he create everything. he btfo muslims than he said okay lets make another parties..
this is how its works. there is not even federation or country by itself. and you demanding democratic parties and election.. this is dumbest thing I have ever heard such a long time. ottoman when is smarter than you.

>>71123930
>but surely they have some actual democrats between them?
Few. Any fractions within the FSA that's not made up by braindead jihadis is to small to matter. The bulk of their fighting force is made up by Ahrar Ash Sham, Jaish al Islam and smaller groups that openly ally with scum like Jabhat al Nusra (syrian al quaeda) and share a similar ideology.
Assad protected all syrian minorities (well, except for wahabi scum trying to topple him), while the "opposition" uses them in cages as shield against airstrikes, makes them pay extra taxes due to their religion or straight out murders them.
Assad isn't perfect, but if you have the choice between him and a future like lybia it should be clear what's better.
>but Assad has killed thousands just to cling to power
Assad has killed thousands trying to protect his government from rebellion. It's a civil war, what do you expect him to do?

Hama, SANA – Some 115 displaced families have returned to their town Hor Binafso in the southern countryside of Hama province.
Governor of Hama Ghassan Khalaf told SANA reporter that the number of those who returned today to their homes reached 500 people, including men, women and children.
Two vehicles laden with food and relief supplies and two water tankers entered the town to meet the returnees’ immediate needs, the governor noted.
He added that electricity and water network maintenance teams have already been deployed to repair and fix the damaged infrastructure and put power and water networks back into service.
Efforts will continue to ensure the return of all the locals of the town who want to go back to their homes within the framework of a local reconciliation in the area.

>Why does /sg/ generally prefer Assad as opposed to the FSA?
The biggest reason is probably that the FSA is seen as an American proxy army rather than a legitimate rebel force. They fight with weapons and training provided by the CIA. If not for that they wouldn't even exist. There is also a great deal of skepticism to the claims that they are not jihadists. If they succeeded in taking over Syria, would they actually want democracy or would the prefer an Islamic government? Assad is Muslim but he's reasonable to non-Muslim minority groups in Syria. The Syrian Arab Army is the only major actor in the Syrian War that has Christians in the leadership (other than the Russian Air Force), and many Christians in Syria are die-hard Assad supporters simply because they're afraid of getting massacred if he gets deposed.
That's basically it.

>>71118239
ypg has shown to be the more determined by far. hardest to beat, good offensive and defensive.
hezbollah is just one step behind.
saa special forces are good but they are the only force which has all the support and equipment they want, so theyre not really comparable to the militias.
isis is at least ok-tier.
ndf and shi(t)a militias and saa regular troops or whatever are garbage tier.
"""moderates""" and al nusra are also shit because they only dig in and defend. its much easier to defend especially against incompetent opponents.
>>71127414
It's much deeper than that. Assad personally funded the IRA, Symbionese Liberation Army, and the Charles Manson cult. He was the one who shot the Archduke and started WW1. He shot both Lincoln and JFK. He blew up the Challenger. He sank the Lusitania. He is the reason why hotdogs are sold in packs of 10 but hotdog buns are sold in packs of 8. All along, it was him.
>>71127753
YPG is determined, thats correct, but its not like their training is best or anything. As a Kurd i would put Hezbollah over YPG.
NDF is absolutely worst though, cant argue that.

>>71128076
>>71127895
hezbollah does look much more like a regular army but somehow ypg is the most effective force in the syrian conflict, while not looking much more than a militia. maybe its because they are all shit fighters down there so the most fanatical ones prevail.
>>71128076
That was like years ago, right now YPG is okay, due to influx of seasoned veterans from PKK and western advisors.
>>71128230

>>71128239
YPG is effective because they can coordinate with USAF and RUAF better. Also influx of PKK made them much better.

Cool. I might experiment with that myself some.
>>71128239

may be more motivated because of that

From what I could tell all of YPG gains especially following Kobani has been after CJTFOIR leveled the areas or that and FSA weakening the shit out of IS and then YPG just comes in and steals others' work.

>>71128587
They undoubtly coordinated with Coalition, but you know, Air Force can't gain ground without competent ground force. I really dislike ''YPG STRONK BEST'' meme but they really are not that bad as some people claims.

>ISIS takes Khanasser AGAIN
I guess third times the charm, they're not even changing up their tactics, they're just bum rushing in with the same routine has two months ago. SAA and Iranian forces are full of fucking morons, how did they lose that town so quickly? Should they have fortified the hell out of it due to its crucial juncture?
How many days do you think it will take for the SAA to take it back?
>>71128219
Yeah but try telling that to the media (or their viewers) who are so eager to lick the shit off of the US navy's asshole. It's insane that this can be framed as Russian aggression when the American boat is the one flicking Russia's ear.
>>71128470
You're arguing with this.
>>71128587
>>71128718
why has saa never done that in any place, althought they have artillery, surian air force and russian air force? they bomb and bomb but when it comes to taking actual ground they move at snails pace. and they alsways lose ground much faster than they gain it.

Is there any prospect of the US government to stop supporting the FSA?
In pure Realpolitik, there's no real reason for America to stop supporting their erbels in favor of a Russian backed government
>>71128530
well maybe he was on a less important front with less experienced fighters. its indeed hard to say from one guy's observations.

IS did not take Khanasser.
I REPEAT IS DID NOT TAKE KHANASSER
>>71128887
>Is there any prospect of the US government to stop supporting the FSA?
I'm hopeful a Trump presidency would stop it. Hilary or Bernie would probably help invade Syria.
>>71113381

>>71128827

>>71112100
>>71125070
Thanks to buffer zone. And I'll be damned if they take the town and cut off Aleppo again now that SAA knows exactly where IS rats are. They simply can't sneak up on Khanasser now.
I have to go gents. I wish all of you a /comfy/ day or night.
>>71128887
>Is there any prospect of the US government to stop supporting the FSA?
None whatsoever. The only way that it stops is if Assad is actually removed or all the FSA are killed.
>>71128869
b-but they have, look at palmyra.
As well because they are way overstretched. YPG has a ton of manpower in comparison as they stay out of the fighting until IS is very weak and out of supplies. Look at pictures of Sinjar for example after they retook it.
The only advance they made that was decent was on the tishrin dam. And they havent moved forward from there for a year now.
>>71128995
Why would Trump stop supporting the FSA? America has nothing to gain from that
>>71128889
What's with all the shitposting idiots talking about ISIS taking khanasser when nothing is being reported?
They are talking shit about the SAA and the militias over something that hasn't happened?
>>71129178

>>71129055
Is there any chance of a heavier Russian intervention? The war seems to be destined to a muc longer stalemate if not
>>71129235
>>71129257
Yeah, but then America will have a strong, unified Syria pitting against Israel when the war ends.
Don't get me wrong, I like Trump, but I don't think he'll stop American involvement in the war
The US has only to gain when keeping Syria in the shitter
>>71129419
You sure about that?
>>71129121
palmyra is not a huge town, it was more of a symbolic victory.
the only front that progressed as it should was latakia, until they took kinsabba. then the russians "withdrew" and now its going slow as shit there too.
>>71129013
This. Im decidedly pro-Putin and pro-Assad in this conflict, but holy fuck I would NOT want to live in Russia.
Just because I support Putin's Russia's role as geopolitical counterweight to western/Gulf hegemony doesnt mean I like his internal politics.
>>71129229
Well they lost some shitty towns east of the road and desu losing that equipment was very fucked up. But yeah, the Aleppo road is secure and so is Khanasser.
>>71129419
God damn it Julian we told you to stop coming here.
>>71129419
Please tell me which groups of the FSA you support, thanks. I'll be waiting. Try not to include groups that work together with Al-Nusra (Al Qaeda).
Also youre of course allowed not to like Assad but calling him a "terrorist" is completely retarded. Just today Syrian government is fixing up towns and moving back residents in south Hama after the area has stabilized. Inform yourself.
>>71129463
>Is there any chance of a heavier Russian intervention?
Syria is an important location for the Russians. It contains military installations that they can't afford to lose. (Which is exactly why the CIA wants to take it from them so bad) If the situation gets bad enough they'll be forced to take more aggressive measures.
The fuck is going on here? they have them outnumbered and surrounded why haven't kurds got them yet?

YPG honestly sucks, especially because they have little heavy equipment. Doesn't Afrin only have like three tanks at this point? They fought some tough battles when ISIS had them on the ropes at Kobane but they haven't done squat since Tishrin dam except wave their fists at Turkey.
Pound per pound ISIS definitely had the best fighters, but most are dead now. They're essentially a zombie Bedouin conscript force, but still quite scary. Nusra are also obviously the best rebels, everyone else is absurdly bad.
The NDF has had some great moments of glory but they slack off and are responsible for most of the government losses in recent times. Their most important role is psychological, they are the thugish gangstas who will torture any rats they find.
Glad to see the Tiger Forces are still a major player, the Iraqi special forces were decimated in the early days and haven't recovered. What happened to the Cheetah Forces? Also it seems the SSNP and the Syrian Resistance have not been as integral as they were in late 2015/early this year. The Syrian Resistance seems to just play defence at Latakia.
