For the Russian user The Vice news video was to show what the US has achieved in Afghanistan after 16 years. As for the UN resolution, you are right, what Russia and China are doing is legal and acceptable. But then again UN is only for covering ones ass when in trouble. We both know why you are here. You want your control in Central Asia safe while the Chinese want their OBOR project and Xinjiang safe. And for that you require a stable Afghanistan without America or IS which requires the help of the Talibans since clearly the Afghan government is not the one up for the job.

So have the ISIS defenses completely collapsed in eastern Hama? Will Uqayribat be taken by SAA and the the all of the pockets liberated today/tomorrow or did ISIS manage to stall the SAA offensive? Do you guys have any info about this?

The pocket immediately east of Salamiah are going to be difficult to take due to terrain/urban terrain. outside of that, DeZ is basically open for the taking. The next big objective is DeZ/Euphrates basin.

>ISIL completely trapped in central Syria after losing strategic supply line: map BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:30 A.M.) – It was only a matter of time before the Islamic State (ISIL) found themselves besieged in the Hama Governorate; however, not many could have predicted the complete collapse of the terrorist group in the entire Syrian Desert.
On Friday, the Islamic State’s nightmare became a reality, as the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies reached the Al-Sha’er Mountains from their positions in the Ithriya countryside.
With the Syrian Army in control of every road leading the eastern countryside the Salamiyah District, the Islamic State is now forced to dig-in for a siege of the strategic town of ‘Uqayrbat, which has been their stronghold for over two years. According to a military source in Hama, the Islamic State managed to withdraw most of their fighters from eastern Salamiyah before losing their final supply line to the area.
they have to solidify gains/flanks from ISIS harassment, and then they can continue. They took a lot of real estate and thus despite reducing their front line, are putting a lot of strain on their secondary forces/supply lines.

When are we gonna conquer Maadan and have our anime babes sunbathe on the banks of the Euphrates? :(

M..muh Tigers
Brandon Sanchez
doesn't the region have very difficult terrain? Gains are going to be slow
Kayden Young
Good chance that either clashes are still ongoing or that it's full of IEDs.
if Patton had his way, he'd have take Berlin surrounded by Nazis, killed Hitler, moved on to Moscow surrounded by Communists, killed Stalin, and declared victory for USA. War doesn't work that way, however.
David Kelly
>killed Hitler No, it would have stayed the same way for Hitler. Escape.
Jackson Lopez
Yes...
Chase Morales
What are Assad's views on the future of Kurdistan after the war?
Jacob Reed
Despite his opinions, Patton was too much of a patriot to let Hitler live.
Daniel Mitchell

Wyatt Nguyen
Yeah, I'm saying that if Patton went straight to Berlin, Hitler would find his way out and escape. Unless you believe he killed himself, then he would have done that again.
Juan Ward
I'm just talking about Patton fantasy land, not of that the scenario is actually feasible, which is my point.
Cameron Flores

Jackson Perez
They want to get us unhooked from gainz. The war will finish soon...
Oliver Kelly
Come to think of it, took a couple of days to sweep Khanaser plains for the Tiger. Expecting more ingimashis, SVBIEDs and IEDs left behind. Should take around a week to sweep i think.
Nathaniel Collins
The troop morale is much higher when you know you're serving under a man that could literally :
Fuck. The opponent. To death.
Jeremiah Long
Nonono, T2, al-Qaim, Hawija, Tal Afar and the Euphrates still stands...

Tigers have breaks between assaults. They don't just plain out assault. They talk to the local populace, make the right thing happen and everything fall in place. They plan and operate behind enemy lines and then they strike the areas where they have coordinated with the locals.
This is why for example Turkey dealt with Al Bab forever, but SAA took Suknah almost instantly. This is also why they can make several thousand square kilometers of gainz per day sometimes.
Luke Myers
>several thousand square kilometers of gainz per day
Cameron Lee
This is the only real effective way to deal with an insurgency. Talk to the local populace, gain/regain their trust and support and then push forward with the military objectives. Sadly the US never really fully committed to this type of strategy in places like Iraq/Afghanistan.
Nolan Scott
You know neither of them is on par with what Aleppo was. Or even Suknah for that matter.
I don't expect ISIS to have any heroic last stand either. Just plain collapse allofasuden.
OK, then there's Idlib. Something makes the war much more lulzy when scoring against the rebels. Maybe it's the Jihad Julian or maybe it's the MSM trying to spin the war. It just smells like pure kike butthurt.
Your government made the mistake of trying to retrain their forces to fill this void, instead of training MP forces that could actually fill this role. I suppose something like that would require manpower that isn't feasible even for the US, so I don't know what the solution is, but I guess at least you tried.
Eli Morales
My guess is they tried all sorts of shit. But in the end, those people are best being allied from a far.
Nathan Sullivan
Fucking DeZ and the heartland of ISIS (euphrates at Iraqi border), where they've held insurgencies (mostly into Iraq) since 2003....

They probably just have people who are journeymen at arc-welding, so they take what they can get. Also they seem to be running out of men and materials.

Just saw my first Iraq war 2003 documentary "Severe Clear".
Anyone seen it? Any recommendations on other modern war documentaries?

Brayden Cooper
Not exactly great PR, odd thing to put up on the Twitter account really.
The fundamental problem in Iraq was we completely destroyed the old Sunni dominated institutions and essentially acquiesced to Shiite Majoritarianism (and Kurdish Autonomy), but we simultaneously created a Bosnia style political system that is essentially unworkable and is patronage incarnate. In Afghanistan the problem was there really wasn't a central authority besides the Taliban except for the surviving Warlords, so we essentially incorporated them into the system (and picked corrupt sycophants like Karzai). And in the single minded focus of rooting out the Taliban we've ignored the flourishing of corruption and shitty shit like Bachi Bazi within the Government Ranks.
Asher Myers
Did a 12 year old write that? Goddamn, aside from the interesting footage, that shit sucked balls.
