Wonder what's truth and what's propoganda at this point, Wouldn't be too surprised the SDF and SAA worked together under Russian oversight.
Boats and bridges could easily be for the islands. In fact some boats and bridges would be needed to take these islands anyway so I would have been surprised had the SAA failed to bring some such equipment as that would leave SAA in the city open for surprise attacks from the islands.
I am still torn on what's more likely. But one other thing that suggest SAA doesn't plan to cross north is the fact that the bridges were allowed to be photographed so easily. Could have been covered easily. This is a huge point as it's either a colossal failing or a clue to their intentions.

No, The Lion would go towards President Assad. The Druze is more reminiscent of the Bear.
Yes it is, but Major General Zahreddine's younger brother, last I checked, is at the helm of Southern Syria Operations.

Found a post from 31. of August about March for Aleppo on kikebook about getting to the border and so on.
Our last days before getting to the border with Syria were not easy at all. The closer we were, the more difficult, actually.
When we started marching in December, we were aware that we, the random citizens, do not have much idea about what was and is happening in Syria. That we have to learn a lot. That we get a lot of internet content, being used as a propaganda from all the sides of the conflict. We had no doubts that there is a war, an awful one, that the fights and killings are not symmetrical, that innocent people are dying and we don’t agree on it.
On the way, we have talked with hundreds of Syrians. Some were marching with us for long, some came for some hours, some we have visited in their new homes or in the camps, with so many we were discussing online. We have always asked: “What do you think? What will happen in Syria? What are the options? What can be done? How do you see our March? How and where should we go to make the best out of us? What do you think about us going to… Aleppo? Idlib? Damascus?”. We asked, because the point of view of the people, we have started the March for, was and is the most important. We met avarage citizens, we met people, who build the opposition, we met the fighters and ex-soldiers. We have learned a lot. About Syria, about conflicts, about political games. How many times we were taken by those or others! How many times we were offended or accused. Each of our decisions was criticised. But you know what? We have also learned that one can be criticised by absolutely anything: doing x, doing y or not doing anything. cont.
Maybe if you put some effort in to your art it would

pt. 2 In our opinion we have succeeded every day since the beginning in giving people hope, simply by paying respect to their suffering through taking up the hardships of marching thousands of kilometers and demonstrating genuine care and human decency in our interactions with them. “Them”, meaning all the Syrians, without making any political statement in favour of any of the warring parties. This is our core. And the reason, we did not enter Syria is that, after the serious research, we had strong doubts, about being able to maintain our core and all we have stood for in the last seven months, if we did. Entering Syria would have meant choosing the territory of a party of the conflict over the territory of another party.
We would have loved nothing more than actually speaking with Syrians in their home country, with all the relocated, resettled civilians all over Syria! In the camps and on the streets. But it wouldn’t be possible now. Now we know it.
So we have decided to finish the March with civilians from Aleppo (and others too), at the border. That was the plan. But…
…then we started walking from Tripoli north and… were stopped by the Lebanese army. They took us to the military base, we talked for ours with some generals, security forces, ministry of internal affairs, our ambassadors. They all spoke the same voice: the March has to be over, no more walking, we bring you back by bus to Tripoli.

pt. 3 We sat down and looked into each others eyes. So this is it? The March, after almost 8 months, is over like this? What about our plan? What about the meaningful ending? What about all the Syrians waiting for us tomorrow? Willing to join us at the very last part?
We couldn’t give up just like this. The army told us that we cannot march. But they didn’t say we cannot…take some local transport north, did they?:)
So we went back with the bus to Tripoli, officially finished the March and on the next morning divided into some local buses and drove north. Few kilometres before the border we met again and did what we can do the best: march together. Syrians from different settlements were welcoming us on the road and joining. We took out our flags again. We asked our questions again. And… we have got some answers.
Because we were lucky enough to finish our March and spend 2 days between the Syrians, who have some ideas and visions for the future. Who invest their time in the education of their kids and planning the next steps. We ate a common lunch in Malaak, an amazing academic centre, where every day 300 little Syrians come to study (thanks so much for your place, time and energy!!!). We spend ours on talking with community leaders about peaceful solutions for Syria (thank you our Italian friends from Operazione Colomba, who work in the camps on the north!).

pt. 4 At the border, on the very north of Lebanon, between the green hills and little calm border river, we were standing and thinking about what is left from Civil March For Aleppo, what did we learn about Syria, the world and ourselves. How many people we put together and how to use this potential now? It won’t be easy, because we are very tired and very different. What we can do is marching together. But if we could walk from Berlin to Syrian border, we can do a lot. Together, and with the community leaders, based on their opinions and ideas. Details will come SOON!
PS. Our calmness on the border was short, of course. The Lebanese army came fast and didn’t like too much that we managed to get so far. Well…
And that was the end of the meme March. Still was hoping they would arrive to Aleppo and get redpilled by the people living there.

>Radicalised at home in Walsall, the Muslim convert found guilty of trying to travel to fight for ISIS in Syria
Ismael Watson, formerly known as Jack, admitted flying to Turkey and trying to cross the border into the war-torn country, the Old Bailey in London was told.
The 27-year-old was intercepted by Turkish authorities and deported to the UK after vowing to carry out terrorist atrocities during encrypted chats with undercover MI5 agents.
>Prosecutors said the chats on the app Telegram show Watson’s ‘hatred for Western society’ and his determination to fight in a ‘holy war against Western oppressors’.
But he denied preparing to commit acts of terrorism, claiming the UK’s courts have no authority over him.
Jurors heard Watson grew up with a non-Muslim family in Liverpool before he converted to Islam and moved to Walsall.
They heard once he moved to the town he became ‘quickly radicalised’ after watching ISIS videos online in 2015.
>“Little did he realise when he was speaking to people on the internet that two of those with whom he discussed his plans were officers working for the security services, and that everything he said to them was being recorded,” said the prosecutor.
>In September 2015 he married Sharmina Begum at the Green Lane Mosque in Birmingham, but he became so radical that she left him.
>The court also heard he tried to slick his hair back with gel to make himself look more Syrian.
>In German exile, a polygamous Syrian refugee family split apart: 'We don't have a better option'
In 2016, 40-year-old Rami a-Saeed, his two wives and three children made the perilous sea journey from Turkey to Greece before continuing onward to Germany in search of asylum.
>But upon arrival in Germany, where the law forbids polygamy, the family could not stay together.
Today, a-Saeed’s family is split across two cities in Germany. His first wife, who registered with authorities as a single refugee, lives in the town of Essen. A-Saeed's second wife, with whom he has three children, lives with him in the city of Moers, on the western bank of the Rhine river. There was likely no way the family, who fled restive east Aleppo city in 2015, could have remained as one unit—even if they had chosen to wait for resettlement through the UNHCR, the UN’s refugee agency.
The UNHCR considers all members of polygamous refugee families as “eligible for assistance,” though it rarely agrees to handle resettlement cases for families like a-Saeed’s, according to an online guide published by the agency in 2011.
>“I visit my first wife and check on her whenever I get the chance," a-Saeed tells Syria Direct’s Noura Hourani from his home in Moers, using a pseudonym.
>“I don't know how long we will remain in this situation, but we don’t have a better option.”
Turkey signs deal to buy Russian S-400 missile systems – Erdogan Turkey has signed a deal with Russia to buy S-400 missile defense systems - in its first major weapons purchase from Moscow, Turkish newspapers Tuesday quoted President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying. “Signatures have been made for the purchase of S-400s from Russia. A deposit has also been paid as far as I know,” Erdogan said in comments published in several newspapers including daily Hurriyet. (AFP)
UN says 370,000 flee Myanmar, exodus continuing Violence in Myanmar has prompted 370,000 people belonging to the Muslim Rohingya minority to flee to Bangladesh since August 25, up from a previous estimate of 313,000, the UN International Organization for Migration said on Tuesday. “The system is clearly at full stretch and needs all the support it can get,” IOM chief spokesman Leonard Doyle said. He declined to say how big he thought the exodus could get. “Clearly the estimates have been bypassed several times over,” he said in Geneva. “I’m reluctant to give a number but obviously people fear that it could go much higher.” (Reuters)
N. Korea rejects UN sanctions resolution, warns US North Korea on Tuesday rejected a UN Security Council resolution imposing tougher sanctions and said the US would soon face the “greatest pain” it had ever experienced. Pyongyang’s ambassador Han Tae-song, addressing the UN-sponsored Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, said: “The Washington regime fired up for political, economic, and military confrontation, [is] obsessed with the wild game of reversing the DPRK’s development of nuclear force which has already reached the completion phase.” The Security Council unanimously stepped up sanctions against North Korea on Monday over the country’s sixth and most powerful nuclear test conducted on September 3, imposing a ban on its textile exports and capping imports of crude oil.

>FBI Investigation Into Sputnik Indicates Serious Censorship Problems - Kremlin
Earlier it was reported that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) questioned former Sputnik employee Andrew Feinberg as part of the investigation of reports that the agency allegedly acted as a Russian propaganda agency in violation of the US Foreign Agents Act (FARA). At the same time, the portal claimed that the FBI also received access to Sputnik's working correspondence of Feinberg and another former employee of the agency's Washington bureau, Joseph John Fionda.
>Earlier, a bill was submitted to the House of Representatives of the US Congress to amend requirements for registration of foreign agents under the FARA. The project involves the allocation of additional powers to the US Department of Justice, which includes the FBI, to identify and prosecute organizations that "illegally" try to influence the political processes in the United States.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the FBI probe into Sputnik indicates serious censorship problems in the United States, describing the action as a move contradicting pluralism and freedom of the press.
Rights group: Saudi-led airstrikes kill Yemeni children The Saudi-led coalition waging an air campaign against Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the north is killing children in what amounts to war crimes, an international rights group said Tuesday. Human Rights Watch released a detailed report documenting the deaths of 26 children killed in five airstrikes since June. The group said that despite coalition promises to abide by international law, the airstrikes have failed to do that and it urged the UN to place the coalition on its “list of shame,” a blacklist of countries that violate child rights. HRW also called for an international investigation into possible war crimes. (AP)

German block on arms sales to Turkey weakens anti-terrorism fight – Ankara A decision by Germany to put all major arms exports to Turkey on hold weakens Ankara’s fight against terrorism and makes Europe vulnerable, Turkish EU Affairs Minister Omer Celik said on Tuesday. Celik was speaking in London after German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Monday Berlin had suspended major arms exports due to deteriorating human rights in Turkey and increasingly strained ties between the NATO allies. “The German foreign minister must formulate his comments seriously. Those arms are being used in the struggle against PKK and Islamic State,” Celik said. “Germany must leave security issues out of political discussions.” (Reuters)
Number of migrants arriving in Spain soars – minister The number of migrants arriving in Spain so far this year has soared more than 88 percent from the same period in 2016, Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said Tuesday. Speaking in a parliamentary commission on internal affairs, he added that the number of people merely attempting to get to the Spanish overseas territory of Ceuta in northern Morocco had dramatically increased. Up until Monday, 15,473 migrants had entered Spain illegally by sea and over land, he said. Of the 11,162 people who arrived by sea, some 11,000 were rescued by coastguards from rickety boats in which they were crossing the Mediterranean between Morocco and Spain. At least 121 people have died along the way, according to the International Organization for Migration. (AFP)

>Iran Aims to Built Power Station in Syria's Latakia - Reports
Iran and Syria have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation in the electricity sector, providing for the construction of a power station in Syria's Latakia province, SANA news agency reported Tuesday.
The total capacity of the future power generation station will be 450 MW.
The memorandum also involves the establishment of five gas turbines, each with a capacity of 125 MW, in Baniyas, the assessment of the state of the thermal power plant in Aleppo, and the restoration of two power stations in the Deir ez-Zor and Homs provinces.
The deal was signed in Tehran by Syrian Electricity Minister Mohammad Zuhair Kharboutli and Iran’s Deputy Minister of Energy Sattar Mahmoudi. Iran has expressed its readiness to take part in the reconstruction of the Syrian electricity sector, which has been considerably damaged over the last several years.

I read that some oil fields in SDF control still transfer most of the revenue to Assad.
Seems like the SDF is really for federalization of a kind, not independence. Oil well could easily be a national resource, not local, under these circumstances.
I agree that I can't see Assad just dropping those fields without a fight though. Has nothing to do with who did most of the fighting in this particular province though.

An old classic. Amazing job, great to see even if I'm busy someone takes the effort! Hmm.. I've always thought that the cooperation between Russia and US on one level and SAA & SDF on another is a real thing. Russian pressure on US works in such a way that SDF and SAA won't suddenly go escalate on on another, and the other way around, SDF is forced by US to combat IS but to not overextend - therefore provoking the SAA.

>Seems like the SDF is really for federalization of a kind, not independence. Of course, if you read Russian try RIA, TASS, RT for articles on Astana meetings so far.

>If not - Turks will get green light.
Yeah, nah. This is truly the memest meme. If Turkey didn't do shit against the SDF even while they invaded Syria and took Al Bab... or prior, during all the time the SDF was very weak. I just don't see them manning up now.
This was before Russia ever got involved in Syria, and Assad never had a say anyway. So no green light was needed. And still there was no action. Turks may do some limited operations here and there to sever YPG-PKK smuggling routes or whatever but not really anything more serious.
Moreover, do you think Turkey is going to fight a grueling war against the SDF to simply retreat when they are done? That's delusion 101. Turks are still holding whatever they took from Iraq in some of their incursions against the PKK. No way Assad is going to 'OK' something like that.
If Assad and Iran choose to start a war with the Kurds they would have to do so themselves.
Austin Fisher
Damn I crave for seeing a real normandy tier airdrop operation against these apes
Angel Butler
I don't think you understood what I've meant. Turks already have the al-Bab area occupied and Ahrar ash-Sham as their active proxy. They're granted the guarantor status in Astana talks and these are their cards on the table. >do you think Turkey is going to fight a grueling war against the SDF to simply retreat when they are done? IF they would engage in such a development, they'd count on much more stuff in negotiations later, because other than what they already have, they could add some more to the final bargain. Keep in mind the other guarantors (that is Syria, Iran, Russia) agree pretty much on everything, only Turkey stands out and tries to get as much as possible from the conflict they've commited themselves to so much. I don't wan't to bring stuff as Erdosperg saying "we won't border a terrorist state! (PYD/Rojava)", because he can change his opinion any second, and more importantly, this decision is not his, it's in Russian hands now.
