iirc they had a huge firefight after killing the two leaders
>hostage escapes and informs military >military stakes out the location/building >One guy comes out to escape >gets shot and dies >another one comes out and dies as well >firefight ensues since ISIS trying to recover bodies >military wonders why they're doing this >a few hours later they discover they killed the two leaders
confirmation takes time as well.

FSA Kurd cross over when.
Jace Garcia
before the year according to military estimates. They're clearing the last areas of Marawi and they're already planning removing any mines, traps, bombs, etc.
I'm aware how long it takes to confirm, I'm just saying the times don't add up without your explanation. So the civis were just the leaders trying to sneak out?
Juan Peterson
it does not translate well it text
they had a feeling that their location was compromised because of the escaped hostage. they tried to sneak out but the military was already there.
the defense sec. is probably getting the times mixed up.

What happens here?
Jace Ward
nothing its been a ceasefire zone for ages
Andrew King
I'm fine with the Kurds when they fight ISIS. People here kept worrying about partition issues & strife. Both those problems have been solved like I thought they would because Barzani's a retard, you guys were panicking way too hard lmfao
Aiden Johnson
>implying its the iraqi kurds who are the main issue at this point luckily the SDF is also getting put in the shed by turks
Connor Hall
Russia doesn't formally acknowledge fighters there, but you could just join the Russian Army, they allow foreign recruits.
Ok, so what's going on in Iraq? Will government stop at kircuck? I'm on the move rn so can't really look into it myself
Christian Gonzalez
So CNN and so one are calling Abe from Japan part of the Nippon Kaigi Can any lurking nipnons tell me what that is No Those places were segied for ages before the cease fire and they never fell

The population crisis is a meme. Its bankers whining that they need more people to put in debt.

Lower populations aren't that big of a deal these days since technology has taken so many jobs.

Exactly. Its an excuse to "diversify" japan. >Haha japan your aging population is on its way out >what are you gonna do inherit your own nation dont be dumb accept some refuge- >JAPAN NO >JAPAN STOP
Lel are the Turks really thinking about opening a second front?? This is gonna be double the amount of dead roaches Also that's pretty close to the SAA latakia front

>national airways corporations Based in SA Wew, some shady shit right here desu Wonder what Baghdad and Kurds are planning 100% it's some back channelling thing
Cameron Phillips
you must speak russian tho. they take foreigners specifically to be able to use russian diaspora manpower that is stuck outside Russian borders since end of the USSR
Jackson Clark
In Europe's case it's also the (especially small/medium) industries owners' fault past a certain point of mechanization hey just gave up and begun to hire the only kind of people that would accept to go below a certain salary
Evan Brooks
Wonder if Putin is keeping a eye on Riga It's a pretty important port in the region Putting a puppet there would be massive Probs too risky tho
Asher Cooper
Yup
David Gonzalez
Pity Mechanization of labour and reeducation of the lay offs is the future Inviting what is defacto serfs into a country is a really short sighted move and now Europe is paying for it
Jonathan Lewis
Eh, they're in NATO and everything
Joseph Baker
>Barzani surrenders Kirkuk >Barzani surrenders Sinjar In the meanwhile >YPG/SDF conquers Raqqa Hmm...
Colton Rivera
Yea it's too risky Where do you think Russia is trying to expand now? Or is Putin happy with the current borders and SoI
Colton Ortiz
Conquer is a big word for bombing it to rubble and walking into it
Juan Hall
wait so I looked it up it's a freight company based in South Africa specialized in transporting goods between sub-Saharan (including SA of course) and Maghreb states what the fuck are they doing in Baghdad and pointing north, even?
Xavier Williams
it ll really funny if USA fucks over YPG too after raqqa.
i mean they sold iraqi k*rds already
Jackson Ramirez
Even tho there's a econ/pol union with Belarus, things don't see to go too well from Belarus' perspective Lukhashenko is having (slowly) more contacts and deals with Western Europe He might only want to help expand the economy after Russia didn't help, or he might just be paranoid of what Putin might do But I do wonder
Gabriel Butler
Putin always tried to offer carrot rather than stick. His plan was to gain power by building powerful trade and friendly relations. I remember that in 2013-14, media would sometimes write about how Russia-Germany relations are so strong that Germany may leave US sphere (and drag the whole europe with them in the process) and create some deals with Russia, where they would be equal partners (which is impossible with USA). Then Ukraine started brewing and people were waiting what Putin will do. Then EU representatives started parading on Maidan stage. Then the plane was shot down over Ukraine. One massive PR campaign of "Putin shot down my baby boy" articles and 10 years of Putins work on the diplomatic stage was gone. Now with the embargo and low oil prices, he can only try to hold Russia from imploding, but he doesnt have enough power to do anything much on the world stage. Also nobody will believe him that he wants to build friendly relationships. The anti putinist will tell you that he is gay killer/freedom hater/civilian murderer/madman who wants to resurrect USSR, depending on who are they trying to bamboozle
Josiah Bennett
Obviously they will do that, everyone knew that was going to happen. US betrayal won't surprise anyone except Barzani.
Why do you think walking into a pile of rubble took so long? Building up peoples defense forces and establishing democratic confederalism in liberated territories takes time. Interesting to see if Turks will get baited by Qassem Soleimani into attacking Afrin in the next couple of days/weeks.
Lucas Ross
Lukashenko is just a typical political prostitute he sings praises to those who pay. The whole union state is a meme, since he understands if Belarus and Russia unite that he will lose all of his power and become a non factor. He will try to stir shit up closer to older age since there is lots of discontent in the Belarus elite between those who want a union with Russia and those who seek to join EU, and if you thought Ukraine is a mess just wait until a dysfunctional country like Belarus becomes unstable.
Owen Lewis
Russia still has a decent army and weapons industry, and since relations turned to shit they use it to fight back. Syria was stabilized and the whole thing turned into a disaster for the US. Some people are even arguing that it was the Russians and not hohols that gave best Korea RD 250s. If they're trying to get the point across that working together will be cheaper they're doing a good demonstration
Julian Bell
>DeZ:SAA cleans Euphrates bank between DeZ-Mayadin,6 villages liberated+Husayniyah town (NE DeZ), blocking SDF from avancing SW industrial zone
Proofs?
Adrian Long
that's another option, too
Colton James
>baited >we need anyone to bait us to attack and destroy afrin you are a bit clueless desu
Kayden Smith
So the entirety of Sinjar was given back to the Iraqis apparently. Wonder if the Kurds are going to pull something big in the near future
Jeremiah Mitchell
>After Kirkuk, reports on Iraq security forces and Hashd militia entering Sinjar as Kurdish Peshmerga withdrew. Seems bloodless, no clashes
Ok, so now it's PDK running away. What's their excuse? That's the second time they're running away from Sinjar without fighting btw. I mean, why ruin a good habit, right?
I'm starting to suspect that it's not so much that there are "deals" between the Peshmerga and Iraq where the Kurds are actually getting something meaningful in return, so much as Peshmerga is just a lot more spineless than anyone had imagined.
So their deals are basically "I retreat, you don't kill me. Deal?"
Jason Brown
It'll be interesting to see where the Kurds in Syria go next once Raqqa is all nice and tidied up. Will they threaten the Damascus government, head over to Iraq or try to start shit with Turkey
Angel Morris
Turks got their ass handed to them in Al-Bab after that Turks seemed to have a more intelligent strategy on Syria. Seeing Kirkuk fall in days must make a lot of Turks feel like Afrin will fall as quickly. It won't. The bait are Kurds running away as fast as they can, everyone knows since Armenia that seeing people run away baits Turks like nothing else.
Cameron Gomez
How's the situation in Kirkuk?
Samuel Reed
Civilians fleeing, PKK fighting, Pesmerge long gone, PMUs doing PMU things
