Information about joint operation of RF, Iran and Turkey (Astana guarantors) assaulting Nusra in Idleb together has popped up Russians from Latakia, Iran from Aleppo and Turks from their border. Supposedly.
Terrorists violated the ceasefire in eastern Ghouta, targeting residental districts: >sana.sy/ru/?p=117518
The supposed attack in Latakia (claimed by Nusra) was an accident, a civilian had a granade with him (supposedly people carry them around for self defence, sic!) and it exploded killing 2 others: >ria.ru/syria/20170819/1500688374.html

having done about 20 minutes of research on google I get the impression that the russians have not drafted any resolutions for the security council to make their case on Syria, they've only reacted when the west has drafted theirs. Why not just make the west say "no, we don't want you to fight Al-Qaeda" to make the point? i there a logic here that I'm missing?

Extended Venezuela update, by confederate user. >Constituent assembly takes all powers from Congress (interpreted to refer to National Assembly). Not quite. They will only veto any legislation they don't like -- effectively the same thing, but the National Assembly is still operational, despite the fact new legislation is now being passed by the Constituent Assembly.
You should probably include CA legislative acts from here.
venezuelanalysis.com/news/13319 ANC (Spanish backwards adjective ordering for National Constituent Assembly) passes new legislation outlawing hate crime -- including crimes based on race, religion, LGBTshit, and political affiliation.
Race and religion will probably benefit Maduro's GPP due to the mestizo and Protestant bases of the coalition as a whole, while LGBTshit is obviously a token measure to appease MUD. Political affiliation will likely be used as a pretense to crack down on anti-GPP violence.
venezuelanalysis.com/news/13317 ANC orders end to Maduro-controlled executive branch's use of military tribunals against insurgents.

I had, probably in my head and by my own bias, come to the belief that the west had blocked Russian support to Assad in the security council, but I found no proof of that. In fact, I found no proof of Russia initiating anything in the security council at all.
The thing I've been after is I get the impression that Russias hands were tied until 2013-14. but you tie other big players' hands in the security council, afaik, and that hasn't happened

Pray for me, /sg/, my pc has crashed innumerable times and I'm on the line with the 2nd customer support agent and a fresh install of windows
yea it's... like the US suggested a draft making it impossible to import weapons into Syria in 2012, while they were they hard at work doing exactly that. I guess the game is mostly played around it. Still have a lot of research to do I guess, trying to understand why Russia let the war almost look losable for a while, why they havent gone in harder earlier. Maybe it's the propaganda situation where doing so would have given the world even more excuses for sanctions due to the whole "moderate rebellion" thing.

so is the ayatollah like a monarch plus theocracy like it just came to me... what sort of powers does an ayatollah have? like constitutionally?
Thank you lad! Great to have these updates on top of the bread!

Some new gains, this time it was made by the ISIS hunters >I thought they were primarily a guerilla force??? Anyway, back to my story, The Syrians are saying that they estimate that it will take 2-3 months to clear the pocket completely. That seems conservative to me.

For fuck's sake, what kind of crass incompetence is this ? How do you get two destroyers heavily damaged in similar collisions in less than two months ?

looks like the old lighthouse joke abut the us navy is true. i guess they wanted the tanker to put in full reverse so they could pass...
i really can't understand how something like this can happen... completly avoidable if they follow procedures.

It does make sense, either this and tasty contracts, or just plain stupidity and incompetence. Don't know what is worse, after all taxpayers fund these cretins.

or maybe China is testing radar/sonar scrambler in this region or testing some sort of gps scrambler that is being developed by russia but again it's not submarines so they are supposed to navigate with visual when in this situation

>ayatollah is just a clerical rank,Khamenei isn't just just an ayatollah, he's the highest jurist, it's this position which gives him power There hundreds of ayatollahs but only on Master jurist in Iran >monarch no, he is chosen by a counsel >what sort of powers does an ayatollah have? issuing religious decrees to his followers and that's it, but an ayatollah like Sistani, who has a large following, can mobilize armies like the PMU >like constitutionally? Depends on the country
Sure lad, if I'm still around by than I'll do it! Doubt it honestly. Earlier I didn't thought about this, but your thesis they did it on purpose just to sign a new contract as a consequence of shipyard over-investement or military industry crying for no contracts really makes sense.
