Hez alone would bruise you kikes the fuck up though, even if they lose in the end.

Great, when are you starting? I lost count of the times you tried and failed.

Robert Wilson
It hints possible Fillon victory, since he's so pro-Russian and they have basically the same interest in the region.
Cameron Jackson
Nothing substantial and not exactly safe but holding right now. Subject to change.

ISIS takes 5 more SAA military points in Jazal area...
Did all the SAA soldiers go to Aleppo???

Бoeвникoв... doesnt that translate as warriors not terrorists?
Henry Brown
Surely Bashar will protest.
Hunter Allen
Pretty much. Palmyra will be a siegebreaking operation if ISIS doesn't actually snag it. Not exactly a good development but what can you do.
Logan Perez
>Israel strikes Mezzeh Airbase in Damascus, rebels thank them >That addenda Stay salty my friends.
Nolan Wright
namefags were a mistake
Samuel Stewart
Pretty much. The Desert Hawks used to be out there but they were moved to Aleppo too (kinda makes the name redundant then, no?). It's just a thin line of NDF, some SAA and Spetznaz.
Jackson Green
But they make /sg/ unqiue
Juan Rivera
Any thoughts on success rate at Palmyra? What's /sg/ estimates? 50/50?
Benjamin Young
“When the Lord your G-d brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations - the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you - and when the Lord your G-d has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire. For you are a people holy to the Lord your G-d. The Lord your G-d has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” (Deuteronomy 7:1)
Fillon is a shoo-in at this time nobody wants le Pen, even her supporters know she's kind of an airhead

Look I really haven't been paying too much attention to Syria over the last few years. I at least know the MSM coverage is mostly horseshit, but beyond that I know shit other than there are
1) Assad's offical Syrian forces 2) ISIS 3) Some other rebels. 4) Apparently maybe Russians now
Beyond that I know fuck all. Can anyone explain who is actually fighting and over what at this point? Why is it going on so long? And how is the US involved? I heard the UK, France, and China might be there as well.
Why is this country such a clusterfuck?
Most basic question: What is the current body count? Estimated dead/ casualties/ and also estimated fled country if you have the numbers.
Hudson Baker
Anyway I have shit to do, so later.
Brandon Ortiz
A ok thanks. Sorry i've only been.learning russian for a year... fucking slav languages...
Cooper Flores
Yes, French and Russian interests have been intertwining, which is especially obvious if you look at their stance on EU sanctions over the last year, I wouldn't certainly expect nothing like a coalition but something of an understanding on both sides wouldn't be so far off from the current situation
Levi Perez

Carter Baker
Every intervention was failed when you look at the reason why you went there in the first place.
Afghanistan was meant to get rid of terrorism and bring democracy. >No and no Iraq was meant to get rid of WMDs and bring democracy. >No and no Libya was meant to bring democracy >No Syria will be the same as Libya
BUT.....
All those were not your REAL intentions, apart from Afghanistan all you wanted to do was destabilize the countries and region for your own interests and your allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia

There's already a meme that because of this little guy there is an earthquake on the West Coast.
Luke Cooper
it's just a long range nuclear torpedo how and why it is any sort of news, I do not know
Daniel Lewis
Different factions: 1-SAA (syrian regime) backed by iran, russia, china 2- FSA (rebels, among them ex al qaeda ffiliates) backed by western countries, saudi arabia, turkey, qatar 3- YPG: kurdish communist militias, the biggest backstabbers of the middle east, no one likes them but they control territory because of the westerners' airstrikes. backed by western countries and israel 4- ISIS: not backed but had agreements with turkey
hundreds of thousands people killed, mostly civilians
each faction and each backer has its own agenda, a lot of alliances and backstabbing between them
Owen Foster
muslims paying muslims to fight other muslims while pretending to be muslims sorry, Qatari/Saudi paying ISIS/AQ/FSA etc to fight Syrians while pretending to be Syrians, US funds and trains FSA, which puts american weapons and training in ISIS/AQ hands
all for oil/gas rights and access to europe. America depends on Saudi's exclusive access to oil, Russia's getting cornered by USA and growing desperate

It's mostly news because it appears from design to carry a dirty nukes in megaton range. Tho that part could easily be a myth too.
Daniel Kelly
>France >own interests Please. All French government now is one fucking manlet puppet after another. Mouth opens, but words cominf from another place.
ask yourself who else has this technology and you'll have ur answer

Daily reminder that we shall pray for Assad lads.
Benjamin Reyes

Michael Rodriguez
yes? so what? underwater nukes need to be bigger to have reasonable blast range because the water pressure is significant especially at depth could they be used to fuck up a harbor? yes, but that is not anything new, or special. most/all nuclear torpedoes can fuck up harbors. what the big payload implies, is shit targeting, or no targeting
Jason Wood
shit/100 desu. Outlook is grim right now, but it might change with more info.
If anything, it shows the utterly ignorance of the country spokesman. The (((Rebels))) have civilians hostage so they can die when russia and Syria bomb them and then scream for a cease fire. Do the civilians on the goverment held area don't count? (((Rebels))) keep shelling those positions and not a single word of Corporate Media.
Christian Brooks
>Knowing geography >autism
Connor Foster
US for sure. Possibly China. Germoney can and does build rocket torpedoes, but cannot into nukes (at least in theory) UK... nah. not happening so?
Hudson Barnes
>2:17:23 What's that?
Samuel Peterson
Closest translation would be militants. I was hoping to see an opinion if such radical measures would impact diplomacy at all or will be overlooked as part of MAD.
Jack Gomez
i spoke about the major factions. fsa/turkish army affiliated turkmen militias are very few and weak
Dylan Powell
Looks like typical Russian engineering to me. >Hey Ivan, I make small sub, no need pilot >What it can do? >Very swim quiet and controlled from Mother Russia >Put nuke on it >Already did >Put larger nuke

I have pretty advanced geaography autism. user didn't say he made an exhaustive list. But whatever.
Christopher Ortiz
US isn't slated to have them until 2020, if they remain on schedule(protip: they never remain on schedule)
Elijah Moore
if the token force martials up a viable defense until they're relived by the Russians or desert hawks, then all is fine
if the token force collapses and they take palmyra, prepare for some big fucking bombs falling from the sky along the highway and into/around palmyra
not sure on the strength of ISIS in the area, but if it's just a very cocky raiding force and not a ell built occupying force, then i dont think they'll be able to hold Palmyra.
then again, im a sleep deprived retard
Wyatt Ross
they will probably trigger some talk about reduction in strategic weapons again but after failure of ABM treaty, such talk will go nowhere Russia needs its deterrent to feel safe, it's useless to argue.
Jaxson Roberts
Keked heartily m8. 10/10
Christopher Martinez
Why are the Saudi's involved?
Jaxson Collins
What the big payload implies is that if it's silent enough it can give a carrier group a very bad day. Because this is what an underwater 8kt nuclear detonation does: youtube.com/watch?v=qDMUekfOR-E
Bentley Wilson
the main purpose is blowing up aircraft carrier groups
the big payload implies they want to kill the whole group
Andrew Thompson
presumably the tech is available, though 2020 is only 4 years away
Benjamin Clark
The Obama administration's view on Syria is, while acknowledging the rebellion is doomed, that "Assad must go." I believe the plan is to oust him with a fair election.
Do you think that will change under Trump? Should it? To me, it seems reasonable to ask Assad to show he has a mandate to rule by winning a fair election.
>LNR commander admits that they shelled Luhansk themselves >then blamed it on Ukrainian military
I always kenw it.
Jace Campbell
Actually your replies somehow make the most sense and are str8 to the point. T. Hanks.
Jordan Morales
>tech is available
if you're ISIS, you can just slap a RC controller on a toyota and call it a day
if you're the usfg procurement can take decades
Benjamin Russell
And then HIV kills all Jews.
Juan Moore

The very idea of KSA funding ISIS is totally the same as USA backing russian nuclear program. Complete bullshit.
Jayden Brown
>al-masdar i don't trust it even if i read this website dayly (to get pro SAA news).
I know what they do and what are their sources because i speak arabic and follow pro SAA medias.
literally translating SAA supporters' claims without really verifying.
Jace Lee
But they sold you uranium.
Noah Brooks
The Obama admin believes Assad would lose a fair election because you know, he bombed his own people. They dont plan on doing any rigging, if that's what you are implying.
Why would Assad refuse if he believes he has the support of his people?
