I get it that they are trying to use this list as a validation for hostile stance against Russia and even a proof of their misdeeds which it is not, but the more I look at it, more it seems like a list of thing that Russia did and they can't do shit about it.
I think they just missed, sadly. Air defense kind of worked, but it's not enough, it has to hit. Iran will probably fix the issue in the next batch they send. :^)
Al-Tanf ISIS staging ground is proving to be a thron in Russia's side.

>Battle for Douma approaches as Jaysh Al-Islam refuses to surrender town
The battle for the strategic East Ghouta town of Douma is quickly approaching, as the militants of Jaysh Al-Islam refuses to surrender their stronghold to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
With thousands of troops surrounding Douma, the Syrian Arab Army has finalized their preparations to storm the town; all that awaits is the final order to launch their long-awaited assault.
If the battle for the Jaysh Al-Islam stronghold commences in the coming days, then the Syrian Arab Army’s elite Tiger Forces are expected to lead the way for the way for the government troops.
Currently, the Russian Reconciliation Center is attempting to convince Jaysh Al-Islam to surrender Douma; however, the group continues to maintain that they will not give up the town to the government.
In response to Jaysh Al-Islam’s refusal to surrender the town, the Syrian Arab Army’s High Command has threatened to kick off their military operations to capture Douma.
What is hidden under the Rub al Khali? One day when the Saudi's are attempting to dig up more black gold will some big Lovecraftian Old ones tentacle beast rise up and start killing people?

>Kuwait UK embassy advises caution ahead of ‘Punish a Muslim Day’
The Embassy of Kuwait in London has called on its citizens to take caution next week after anonymous letters were sent to people in at least six communities in England calling for a day of attacks against Muslims.
The “Punish a Muslim” campaign offers point-based “rewards” for those who attack and abuse Muslims, including “verbal abuse”, pulling head-scarves off, beating up a Muslim, “butchering” a Muslim and burning a mosque.
Following the messages, video clips of assaults against cars with plates from Gulf states in London circulated on social media.
The videos showed a masked person spraying words such as “war” on car which have been imported from the Middle East.
The recent attacks have raised concerns among Kuwaitis who are preparing to travel to the UK for study, tourism or treatment.
I'm actually kind of excited to see it end like this. 13,000 rebels have already taken the green bus. If JAI did too, it would have been pretty anticlimactic. Watching the gains over the next few weeks will be mighty /comfy/
>Watching the gains Pro-SAA media are usually not too accurate when it comes to reporting urban combat gains, might not be comfy at all. >over the next few weeks C'mon bruh, the Tigers are there.
possibly, although there is a precedent. Last week a dozen or so HTS rebels were killed by their hardline brothers as they were trying to make it to the buses.

Now that you mention it, i remember reading deserters from Faylaq Rahman turned over Kafr Batna and Saqba to SAA then proceeded to attack the remaining jihadis together with SAA. Hopefully we'll see something similar.
>Over 10,000 troops to take part in Russia’s Strategic Missile Force drills
Over 10,000 troops will be involved in the maneuvers of three missile armies of Russia’s Strategic Missile Force, the Defense Ministry of Russia announced on Tuesday.
“Command and staff exercises will be held in March in formations of the Vladimir, Orenburg and Omsk missile armies. During the drills, the inspected units and formations (missile regiments, technical missile bases, support and protection units) will practice measures to go on the highest combat alert and accomplish missions to bring missile regiments to the routes of combat patrols,” the Defense Ministry said.
Overall, about 10,000 troops and 1,000 pieces of combat hardware will be involved in the checks, following the end of the winter training period.
“Missile units and formations will be checked for all the components of combat readiness, combat duty and the personnel’s moral and psychological state and counteraction to terrorism. Also, exercises will be held to check combat training skills,” the ministry added.
The Strategic Missile Force’s troops will also sharpen the skills of anti-subversion groups to detect, block and destroy a notional enemy. Engineer troops will clear obstacles, deploy posts for comprehensive water cleaning and install heavy mechanical bridges across rivers, the ministry said.

i will bully you, faggot what are you doing on /sg/ on a weekday? do you not have job?
So, Daraa... eastern or western side of the highway benis? I think east. The west side is highly likely to cause a kike chimpout, so better for SAA to not have their asses exposed.
Chinese imperialism necessitates Chinese control of at least part of your nation. That literally does not exist.
Your government is in full control, and if it was not, then explain its recent anti-Chinese actions.

>Rebels in southern Syria reject reconciliation with government, vow to fight
The Free Syrian Army (FSA) has rejected reconciliation with the Syrian government in the Dara’a Governorate town of Mahajah, the group’s official media wing reported on Tuesday.
According to a statement released by the FSA, their forces will not reconcile with the government in Mahajah, adding that they vow to fight the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and will never surrender.
This statement from the Free Syrian Army comes just days after Al-Masdar broke the exclusive news that the Syrian Army and Russian military sent delegations to Dara’a to seek reconciliation with the rebels.
A military source in Damascus told Al-Masdar on Monday that the Syrian Army will focus on southern Syria after they clear the entire Damascus area.

>Erdogan: Not allowing Turkey to join EU would be a ‘big mistake’
Turkey has been negotiating with the European Union to join the bloc for over a decade, and although progress was slowly being made, the attempted coup in 2016 and the subsequent purge of military personnel, judges and civil servants jeopardized Ankara’s plans of becoming an EU member state.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed his government’s continued interest in joining the union on Monday, and said it would be a mistake for the EU to not allow Turkey to join the bloc.
“I hope that we have left a tough period in the relations between Turkey and Europe behind us. It would be a mistake for a Europe that claims to be a global power to keep Turkey outside of expansion policies,” President Erdogan said in a joint press conference after a summit in Varna, Bulgaria.
During the summit, he met with President of the European Council Donald Tusk, head of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, and Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.
Erdogan added that “a first step was taken here toward restoring trust with Europe” and described joining the EU as a “strategic goal” for Turkey.
“Our meeting today demonstrated that while our relationship is going through difficult times, in areas where we do cooperate, we cooperate well,” President of the European Council Donald Tusk told reporters.
Tusk said the summit didn’t yield a solution, but expressed his willingness to maintain a dialogue with Turkey on the matter of the country’s accession to the EU
