Pushed the SAA back more than 5 miles. 2 villages retaken and a 3rd being contested. More than 20 vehicles destroyed mostly trucks and old BMP's. No word on manpower losses.
Same story in E Damascus with 3 armoured dozers and 6 tanks taken out along with pro SAA militia tunnels being wiped out. Organised two front assault. SAA is only succeeding in cleansing the Hama ISIS pocket with another 4 villages taken. Turks are "coincidentally" moving hundreds of personnel and vehicles all over Idlib aswell.
Meanwhile more than 4000 SDF volunteers have travelled to Afrin from Manbij and Hasakah via government territory. Videos of their miles long convoys are surfacing tonight.
Kevin Thompson

It gets even worse: Mexican cartels behave much like actual armies, and have actual zones of influence in Mexico. If they went one step further and started planting their flags over their zones of influence, Mexico would make Syria and Yemen look like fucking jokes. But you'll have to ask other anons for more details, or (fucking) pedro when he comes on.
Gavin Barnes
Its Turkish, I dunno why he posted it yellow.
James Cruz
They went through gov't territories. Gov't didn't put up a red light on YPG reinforcements to Afrin, similar to how Russia didn't put up a red light on Olive Branch.

Xavier Sanders
Russia hasn't had any conflicts since 2007. The most that happens there is occasional counter terrorism operationa in Dagestan and Chechnya.
Charles Gray
The map clearly refers to the Donbas/Crimea situation.

desu this is just for show, i dont think they moved even 1 guy to afrin.
Jonathan King
Plus, there's also their involvement in Syria.
Justin Collins
Nobody died in Krym and the regions of Donbass that are in a state of war are international recognized as Ukraine.
Elijah Miller
I am not sure if this is a legitimate war, since ISIS is not a legitimate state.
119 died last year. So its classed as minor conflict.
Logan Miller
>what the ordinary man is capable of. Ordinary man's default mode of operation is chicken out and hope with all his heart it won't be the end (Again - ISIS prisoners). Regardless on what you think "every. single. man. should be willing to do", in reality most don't (but most thing they do). And we call those who do what other too scared to do - brave.
>Yeah, I don't know what kind of view you've got on Islamists, but for a long time it's been very much clear that it's better to die than be captured by these animals. HTS and other idlib groups routinely captures prisoners and they don't parade their heads every time they do. He would clearly know that, as well as his value as a prisoner. He did blew himself up regardless. He denied enemy an opportunity to use him as a pawn at the expense of his life. He protected his comrades that would have been send to save his life by ending it. He died fighting, taking some enemies with him, risking to be captured, instead of blowing his brain off with a stechkin.

It's pretty much guaranteed. The Barcelona attack plan last year would have killed and wounded over 10,000 people had the factory with the 5 remote detonated truck bombs, 12 vests and 12 AK's not gone up the night before the attack and they had to rush a plan B.
The Balkans has a lot of movement at the moment and the German government is trying to hush it up and censor talk about it. ISIS cells are popping up and recruiting across the region and people are listening. Weapons are being traded.

How fucking far has the West fallen if a man killing himself to avoid torturous death is worthy of headlines?
Ryan Nelson
Maybe it is, unintentionally. If they succeed in a terror attack on the scale of the failed Barcelona attack like said, it would have massive geopolitical consequences all across the West. People wouldn't be able to just shrug it off with a hashtag if the death toll is three times that of the World Trace Center attacks. And if it's in a big, economically important city, that will have massive economic consequences too.

You know what I mean. The situation in the Caucasus is one of political organizations asking for sovereignty and self determination, and fighting a war for independence. It is political violence, not gang banging for money.

Don't be ridiculous, arabs haven't discovered humor yet.
I've been posting incognito from time to time with French flag for the past 6 months, didn't really want to force the whole identity thing...
That would just attract unneeded attention to them. As long as the war on cartels is a Mexican issue, third-party state actors won't get involved. They're much better off with a dysfunctional central government.
I'm being politically repressed by spanish exclaves, please donate to our NGO in order to finance a rebel jihad on the iberians

Hunter Barnes
>It literally does by definition Whose definition? The definition of terms changes and there is no real "great bravery" - as defined by the Oxford dictionary - in killing yourself to avaoid torture. None, nada. >Ordinary man would. He's a soldier, not an "ordinary man" of the Western world. A weak, effeminate piece of shit. In what country? With what internet access? Just about every single user in this thread alone is aware that you should never surrender to jihadists because you're going to get tortured, your throat cut on propaganda footage, etc. > He did not. Because he's a pilot, he's in the military. He's aware of how opponents are often treated, especially those of forces like the RUAF. >unselfishness Do you think unselfishness alone makes a hero, or why do you repeat this? Please elaborate. > They could sneak on you, How the fuck could they sneak on him when he was out in the open, surrounded? or kick nade away How the fuck do they kick the nade away when it's in his hands? >, or hold your hand indeed, Holding his hand doesn't fucking matter after the spool has released. > or whatever, No. It's not whatever. Once the spool is gone, the grenade explodes and you are fucking dead. There is no way, outside of freak chance of dysfunctional grenade, you are surviving a defensive grenade's explosion right in front of you. >or you could survive a blast. No.
Adam Fisher
>If you just want to escape and end it, that's clearly not the best way. You CAN'T escape it. That's the thing. Once you are surrounded like that, there is fucking nothing you can do except eventually be captured or shot. The pilot took the rational way out, killing himself to avoid being tortured. >You apparently have some warped unattainable definition of heroism that only world-saving, Hollywood protag, 20th level d&d character would qualify to be. Yes, because the cultural notion of a hero is exactly that. The concept of a Hero is at the very fucking top of humanity. He is the very fucking best of all men out there. He is the ideal, the best, the most capable, the one who stands in front of the greatest of evils when other men flee. He is the HERO. Calling a Russian pilot who blows himself up while surrounded a hero is a joke. Complete degneration of heroism.
Jordan Hill
Want to hear something scary? The UK alone has 30,000 experienced Jihadists with 3000 deemed "active" along with upto 110,000 private citizens that fund Islamic terror and 400,000 that have sympathies with Wahabbist teachings.
France is likely far worse. The saving grave we have is that firearms are hard to get legally and illegally in many places, most of the shit sold on the black market is ancient and not suitable for what Islamist terrorists prefer, which is why you see stabbing and car attacks more than suicide vests and guns. Though they have tried quite a few times. The buildup to Christmas was just arrest after arrest with plot after plot being foiled.
UK last year had 5 terror attacks and 14 foiled ones. Currently more than 500 are being investigated as of November 2017 and thats just Islamist plots.
Cameron Thomas
wasn't there a rumor that microsoft wants to buy EA?
Gabriel Martin
Yeah. I agree with that guy, even if he's some leftshit contrarian. Calling a downed pilot fleeing a painful death a hero is bullshit. It's propaganda pure and simple.
Evan Foster
EA has too many outstanding contracts - sports licenses, Disney license, exclusivity deals with Microsoft competitors. Seems unlikely.
Michael Diaz

Eli Butler
>I've been posting incognito from time to time with French flag for the past 6 months Hmmm. You were the French weeb eh? (the only French flag that consistently posted anime) China, Iran, Russia have insurgencies (Uyghur, Baloch, and Caucasus respectively), and Mexico's Drug WAR is a legitimate war.
Juan Thompson
I read that in the last thread, and I agreed even there. But this is just dry logic. Along that line of thinking, hero is a meaningless term that anyone can be discredited from. You have to understand, hero as a term is always propaganda, always used as a hook to justify people sacrificing for others instead of living for themselves and their own.

The media will just shill for Muslims ten times as hard. People already sort of hate Muslims, but they are too ashamed and scared to do anything. There is a long way to go before enough people simply have nothing left to lose and the reaction begins.
Maybe we will see some more loners simply reach their limit and snap, but this will also be used as ammo by the media to push white guilt and terrorism is not Islam line.
