There is only one true martyr
LABAYKA YA (Saddam) HUSSEIN
Christopher Nguyen
When the reds kill all the blacks will they start fighting the greens and the yellows?
Ian Collins
LABAYK YA ALI
Julian Moore
green first, yellow then if the k*rds push for indepedence.
Jaxson Gray
Not sure about yellows, but they never stopped fighting against greens.
Austin Gonzalez
Yes please. Give the US an excuse to intervene.
Thomas Phillips
Aye idlib and the ((rebel)) area in northern hama that looks like a bloated uterus are the next target.
Henry Martin
...
James Reed
fuck off, kurds are based
Hudson Cooper
>he thinks the US will go that far They are bluffing, just like when they were eternally cucked in Al Tanf.
Luke Ward
the US will protect the kurds because they know that the kurds are the only moderate stabilizing force in the Syrian region. No fucking way Trump and Mattis will let Assad retake any of that land and rightfully so.
Lucas James
The US has already conducted multiple airstrikes against the SAA.
Evan Carter
>Assad Implying Assad doesn't just play the Turks against Kurds/US and enjoys watching the ensuing carnage.
Mason Brooks
Turks will not challenge the US military, dipshit.
I don't even like Trump but I can't criticize his actions in regards to the Kurds, he's been more loyal to them than most US presidents.
Jeremiah Turner
Wew lad you are in for quite a shock once ISIS has been dealt with, the US has no good cards they are screwed either way, they can't prop up the Kurds in Syria because the Kurds don't just want Syrian territory they want Iraqi territory and more importantly NATO ally Turkey territory, the US has already screwed up the foreign policy ever since Obongo.
If the US supports the Kurds (which they have said they won't do after the war) then Turkey will ally more strongly with Russia and leave NATO.
Liam Roberts
Dont give the nigger (you)s mate. Thats why he is here.
Christian Peterson
they want Iran Land too
Wyatt Cox
>US conducts aistrike against SAA >d-don't do it again >US conducts airstrike against SAA >d-don't do it again
They don't need to. The US need the Turks as allies, they won't choose the Kurds over them.
Parker Nguyen
...
Anthony Ortiz
That's not even worth mentioning because they don't want as much land there and the thought of the US funding an insurgency in Iran right now is unthinkable, maybe if Obongo hadn't fucked everything up for the US but his half ass efforts have meant they are almost irrelevant in the region.
Isaiah Rivera
I didnt any of that.
Adrian Gomez
heh
Levi Lee
is the war almost over guys?
Jayden Richardson
So? They're not separatists, they just want autonomy.
Islamic insurrection is almost over, the war goes on until Assad has every inch of Syria back.
Nathaniel Murphy
Except the huge area controlled by the kurds, and the area controlled by the US, and the area controlled by Turkey, and the area controlled by Israel. Or is based Assad going to war with all of them directly?
Luis Lewis
>he thinks the US will intervene further in Syria >he thinks Trump would be able to get the US involved into an actual war while constantly being on the edge of impeachment or civil war Cute
Easton Stewart
Gains?
Zachary Johnson
Kurds are vermin
Cooper Roberts
Going into semantics here, but separatism can include simple wishes for more autonomy.
Jason Hughes
OMG, I didn't see the date until after I clicked it. Do not post things like this without giving a warning beforehand. You did me a frighten.
Bentley Jackson
>t-they won't intervene any further
Jacob Kelly
Yes. You are correct. But they stated they don't want to divide Syria even more. They just want to be treated like equal Syrian citizens (not second class).
Jonathan Ross
>Kurdistan >landlocked between... >Turkey, which hates them >Iran, which hates them >Iraq, which hates them >Syria which hates them Is Kurdistan the worst idea ever next to the Ukrainian coup?
Nathan Sullivan
what's this? source?
Jacob Lewis
Your shitposting is too weak for you to deserve the Australian flag user.
Jacob Morales
one thing I don't understand, the 2nd world war had the entire world or almost as battlefield. took 6 years, but gigantic countries changed hands. we're almost 6 years in this small patch of land called syria and not even close to decide who's going to keep the land?
>Islamic insurrection is almost over, the war goes on until Assad has every inch of Syria back. is that wise? I support him because of muh anti-globalism, but is it worth it? what is syria anyway?
That pic is trippy. Can someone make an Ebin version of the Mandelbrot set?
Asher Gray
I thinks it's more the generals and other bureaucrats that are pushing for an invasion of syria.
I don't think Trump knows much about the real situation. He is just listening to these warmongers and thinks he is doing it for the good.
Ian Myers
Hrui cafe likely to be liberated either today or tomorrow after the nearby gas station was taken.
IT'S HAPPENING!
Juan Bailey
>all Kurds are one people Kek. Kurds in Rojava have nothing to do with Kurds in Iran, for example. And I only like the ones in Rojava (basically SDF).
I also like Assad.
Fuck FSA, ISIS, Turkey and SA.
Jonathan James
Fourth gen warfare, user. There are no rapid solutions.
Landon Price
>inbf tunnel bomb and 20 SAA dead
Ayden Myers
If they are weak at shitposting, then they are probably from Western Australia.
Bentley Hall
The US have been in Afghanistan for 15 years and they are actually losing ground.
Wow it's almost like irregular warfare lasts a bit longer than nation states putting all their soldiers in one battlefield and letting them fight it out.
Luke Mitchell
it is all depends on how it benefits USA. They have always dropped friends and allies when it didn't benefit them any more. Look at their history. After their independence, they started to go after the French and the Spanish, both supported them against the Brit's. Plus they have betrayed the Kurds not so long ago.
What I am trying to say is, if USA skies with the Kurds, they will inevitably loose turkey (one of the stronger NATO allie). And tueky serves 2 purposes, 1 is to block the Russian fleet if needed, and 2 having a strong military (size, equipment,.. Not commenting on it capabilitiy) in the Russian underbelly.
To me this is no brainer, unless USA wants to fuck itself, as the second turkey leaves NATO all other will gaze towards Russia
James Bell
You don't like the based Kurds in Iraq, but you like the communists ones in Syria? Why tho?
Carter Cruz
>Or is based Assad going to war with all of them directly? No, he is playing it smart, alike using Turkey against the Kurds and the US. Golan is not part of this for now.
Juan Watson
>I only like the ones in Rojava (basically SDF) You love the worst kurds bro.
Nathan Ross
True if Huge!
Carter Gomez
>mfw all deez gainz
Logan Nguyen
Because they're not. Ocalan reformed them and the PKK. They are federalist, municipalist or communalist. I simply call them anarchists.
And besides, there are always exceptions from the rule. Communists deserve helicopter rides, but I still like EZLN for example.
I guess I'm not an absolutist.
Dominic Powell
>Fuck SA South Africa did nothing wrong.
Evan Ortiz
>Like Refugees in Syria
Carter Anderson
>Opposition forces claim that when they attempted to negotiate the return of Iranian-sponsored Afghan fighters that were captured during the battle, Hassan responded "Do what you want with them. You can kill them, they're just mercenaries. We can send you thousands of them."[26] I feel bad for the afghans.
Evan Nelson
I can stand PYD forces, but SDF? Consider suicide, you CAN'T like Assad and support am*rican land-grabber puppets
Matthew Kelly
Settle down, user, I posted this, like 6 hours ago on a previous thread >
John Parker
Can we get universal agreement once ISIS loses DeZ we start calling them WASWAS?
Parker Nguyen
>for now
LMAO, what the fuck does that mean? Is Assad going to war with Israel or not?
Nathaniel Parker
WASWAS in middle east, ISIS in Europe
Jace Adams
WW2 (and Cold War) warfare had a completetly different dimension. You had professional armies numbering millions of men maneuvering against each other in gigantic operations involving huge military units. It almost seems mythical when viewed from our day and age.
Modern warfare has a much smaller scale, and in the case of Syria you can add the fact that all sides are heavily depleted, and that there are only a few actually competent units, while the majority of the Syrian forces are good for garrison duty at best.
Andrew Garcia
I'm not here to shill for them. I already know most of Sup Forumss opinion about them. It's a personal choice and you don't have to agree.
Kek.
America is using them to destabilize the regime. They user America to fight ISIS.
If they actually are mercs, then this is what they signed up for.
Camden Russell
And Afghanistan and Philippines
Robert Young
>Triple Kotel
They can't keep getting away with this!
On a serious note, that is going to require extensive manpower to maintain. Nothing but siege warfare from the SAA. The REpublican Guard is going to have to lead most of these efforts. The Tiger Forces will have to continue to take the Desert and the Syrian Marines will have to focus on Idlib.
Aiden Anderson
I think you overestimate the remaining fighting capability of ISIS
Logan Miller
/sg/ I keep hearing abut gains in the Arsal pocket, but it just never seems to get smaller?
Carter Sullivan

Nicholas Evans
Tbḧ it's just mountains and desert SyAAF can have fun and bomb them without having to worry about civilians. Carpet bombing incoming.
