More pressure on ISIS orcs
Jordan Price
I'm no expert, but after some research, it seems to hold some truth. His father understood to deal with the tribes, Assad didn't get it at all: newsdeeply.com/syria/community/2015/12/11/tribal-blood-ties-and-syrias-civil-war-qa That guy wrote “Tribes and the Islamists in Modern Syria: A Short Introduction”, I probably have to read it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Isn't it weird how the SDF are ethnically cleansing monsters who are slaughtering Christians but also have an Assyrian Christians fighting force within the SDF and Assyrian volunteers who are willing to risk their life for the SDF.
Based fuckin' Issam at the very front line removing ISIS orcs
I would follow that man to hell and beyond, what a fuckin' beast.

SDF isn't, but YPG sure has ethnically cleansed arab villages. It's a fact, just as gravity is.

Brig. Gen. Yasser Hussein Ali killed in #DeirEzzor. Continued bombing & new reinforcements in 137, otherwise quiet. h/t first to @NeilPHauer >twitter.com/Jacm212/status/822078257407397888
what the fuck is happening? how many brigadier generals are dying there?
I wonder if this oversight was just an accidental mistake or intentional dismissal of the tribes' importance during Assad being trained to lead the country. Maybe his time and exposure in the urban West, assuming no training to lead a country at that point, led Assad to neglect the importance of the rural tribes? I have to feel like his advisors wouldn't overlook them when talking about the country.

Large parts of the YPG were made up by young kurdish goat farmers who just want revenge and thought everyone is ISIS. The leadership has been very careful to not let this happen again later for obvious reasons: It damages their image as "feminist, multicultural freedom fighters" in the west and antagonizes the people they actually need for their project.
Jonathan Thomas
Why are the Russians not carpet bombing the area between the airport and the city that ISIS as conquered?
John Taylor
What was wrong with you that your local Shaman sold you for a pack of ciggarettes al-maghrebi? :^) According to old sources 4 brigadier generals & two major generals (including Issam) are trapped inside the Airbase pocket. Thanks for bakin based Colombiana~
Lincoln Miller
suggestion for the gen: Developments should be at the top of the OP followed by 'Everything you need to know' etc. so news is easier to spot at a glance. Try a new look.
And picture related, stating that: >Ahrar al-Sham won't attend Astana because, among other reasons, it doesn't want to isolate Fateh al-Sham Which may be the reason why the inevitable infighting begun.
Also enraged by these developments Child Beheading Brigade, also known as Nur-ed Din al-Zinki stated the following: Nouruddine Zenki cuts ties with Euphrates Shield in Northern #Aleppo. >twitter.com/nidalgazaui/status/822038950982414336 It's fine like it is imo~
Not a lot of people right now, but in Southern Senegal there's a sparsely populated region called Casamance which is inhabited by the Jola tribe who lead a 20 year war against the government for independence. The war ended officialy in 2014, however there were multiple ceasefires formed then broken before that.
The Casamance Independence movement is based off Jola nationalism, and guess what ethnic group Jammeh is part of? Thats right Jola, during the war he supplied shelter and funds to the Jola freedom fighter.
Perhaps he could gather his troops, break into Southern Senegal and rally the Jola to lead an insurgency for Casamance independence?
Ypganon here again. As you are to some degree right, ethnic cleansing is a bit harsh. No rapes, killings etc like the balkans. In many places with arabs and assyrians they have behaved badly, trashing houses, vandalism in general, rude behaviour etc. When it comes to destruction of homes, the only times ive seen that is when theyve been making fortifications by making berms, bombshelters etc. Ofcourse some houses gets destroyed in this process which is sad. And ofc you can take pics of this and spin it as ethnic cleansing etc. What the barzanis are doing in iraq, I dont know. Vandalism and shitty behaviour is inexcusable. Though when you see the assyrian villages compared to kurdish and sunni villages you become aware of the different treatment assad has given the different peoples of syria. This ofcourse leads to lust for justice, revenge and whatnot. I believe that after the formatiin of the sdf the ypg command forbade this kind of shit. Saw loads of vadalism when capturing the tishrin dam, but saw only friendly treatment of villagers in and around shaddadi and ayn issa.
Aaron Howard
what if he surrounded himself with the wrong advisors? People who wanted to profit for themselves and their families (mostly alawites, of course)? The cconomical liberalization under Assad (in reality just a privatization moneygrab for the influential people of the regime; yes, I say regime, because they aren't the government and regime is exactly what I'm trying to say) could have marginalized the western tribes who didn't get their share of the prduction and oil export, anymore.
I've read the Amnesty International report which all the ethnic cleansing complaints are based on and on top of being based on flimsy second hand information, it never even accuses the YPG of ethnic cleansing.
Undoubtedly there's been cases of racist attacks/crimes from individuals in the YPG, but they're quickly jailed. And even still that was a few years ago before the SDF was formed.
ENKS (kurdish nationalists/KDP affiliate in Rojava) the other day claimed that the PYD/SDF's pluaralism is cleansing Kurds from Northern Syria.
The ethnic cleansing meme is literally ISIS/Roach propaganda.

Liam Reed
>MORE: Trump to keep Brett McGurk as U.S. envoy for countering Islamic State - spokesman. Noice, he has a good relationship with the SDF
Xavier Hall
This is also a possibility. After all, Assad wasn't groomed for this; if the foundation his govt was built on was corrupt and exploited his naivety in stately matters, then no amount of good intentions on Assad's part would save the tribal relations.
Evan Nguyen
wow posting those pictures really changed my mind, gg you're right i'm wrong
fucking nazis
but what about the sources that show Assad bought oil from ISIS and provided training camps to al-Qaeda. Let me guess...it's a conspiracy theory and all of those are a hoax.
>What was wrong with you that your local Shaman sold you for a pack of ciggarettes al-maghrebi? :^) i'm telling the truth, SDF recruits fighters because of conscriptions and/or US dollars. YPG was a local rag tag militia (which is still the case but they got weapons and funds from the US) in 2014.
Issam is not trapped in the airbase, he's confirmed in the 137th pocket. the last SAA video from there shows him
Charles James
Brett "there is no YPG in Manbij and YPG is in no way affliated with the PKK" McGurk stays U.S. envoy for countering Islamic State. Rather good news for the SDF. twitter.com/Reuters/status/822100383690592257
Brody Flores
this is factually incorrect. African despots sold other africans into slavery. Usually criminals, captives and people who they rounded up for the trade. When the trade finally lost it's american and british markets in the mid 1800's, the african despots actually increased their take of slaves - because they wanted to keep their revenue stream intact while the price dropped.
Slavery came to an end when the market failed.
But to suggest that fathers sold their sons is incorrect. It was in fact despots who did this. And got wealthy.
In short the plutocracy, the despotism of the rich and powerful, in africa and in britain and the usa, that made slavery possible, that nurtured it as an economic tool and finally made themselves richer.
playing slavery as a black and white issue is simply a weak analysis.
This video youtube.com/watch?v=sI42cxxHXY0 ? It's clearly the Airbase area, altough I won't argue because I don't have any other sources on the Druze Beasts location. Also yeah, I'm aware of that, still can't get over these cunts backstabbing in Hasakah, I hope Sheikh Maqsood won't chimpout soon.
Brayden Peterson
no, look it's the cemetary area, and it's even written in the title of the video :^)

Nicholas Bell
of course he did oil deals ... it's his oil and he needs it.
the real question is how us backed states like turkey also traded in that oil - in effect stolen oil - which they should pay for in reparations to syria in the future.
In the end it is assads oil, and the oil of the syrian people, they can do with it what they want.

pathetic....to be honest.
It's his oil. Further, the question of his neighbours e.g. Jordan and Turkey buying ISIS oil is of far more concern.
I would politely suggest that both you and your trove of articles is attempting to avoid that question - the question of syria's neighbours buying isis oil and funding isis, never mind arming them and so forth.
However, everyone here already gets that.
Ur attempt at fake news is pathetic.
As for the release of radicals, that was an attempt to respond to the street protests. During negotiations with them they called for the release of political prisoners.
In good faith he did this.
In bad faith they took up armed rebellion against a legitimate head of state.
Consolation comes from the realisation, that having released them, he set them free to determine their own fate.
Most are probably dead now. Limbs torn apart by some some lovingly well intentioned delivery of russian supplied ordinance.
See, it all ends well.

Why are americans always happy to meet the stereotype of being uneducated idiots?
No matter what I say, you'll always call it fake news.Read about the Arab spring. Young Arabs are waking up and seeing through the bullshit of religion in their country and want to have Western values, which we on this board SUPPORT.
They don't want to be bossed around by big gov't anymore. They started revolting and dictators in their countries had to kill them to keep them quiet, end of story. Then educate me where I am wrong. How is Assad a good guy?
Supporting Assad's regime is the only rational choice when it comes to the Syrian civil war. Assad may be a dictator, but he enables a secular state. There is a Syrian poster here who regularly talks about corruption in the government and how Assad isn't by any means a saint, yet he is behind him 100%. The only alternative to Assad are islamist nutjobs leading the country.

It's fake news because it cherry picks the facts and presents them as the only relevant ones. It's fake news because it attempts to drive an agenda by means of selective regard for the facts. It's fake news because because by this selective approach to facts it actively misleads the reader to spend time on matters which are of no real concern, while clouding the questions related to the facts that are of far greater concern.
If you don't want to be bossed around by big government any more, you cannot rely on government mouth pieces that selectively pick the facts and present them in a way which clouds your judgement and supports their agenda.
You are the very living embodiment of the word KEK. You fuckin cuck.
You so fucking KEKED you think you are free.
Pathetic mate.
