"Any sympathy for the Kurds, which might have led to some countermove, has vanished after Kurdish YPG fighters recently attacked Syrian government forces in the north-eastern city of Hasakah. That attack, completely useless and unnecessary in the big picture, cost them- as predicted - their dream of a viable nation state. The Kurdish gamblers, like they always tend to do, became overambitious and now lost all they had gained. They will have to retreat eastward, surrounded by enemies and without any friends left in today's world. What can the anarcho-marxists of the YPG do now? Ally withand bleed for wahhabi Saudi Arabia? For how long?
The "Syrian rebels" Turkey used to march towards Jarablus were pulled from the ongoing attack on the Aleppo city front. The Syrian government forces will be somewhat relieved to have less enemies to kill (vid) in their defense of the 1.2-1.5 million of their people in the city. But that relief will only be for a short time. As the emphasis of the Marj Dabiq battle shows, Erdogan's ambition are much bigger than some rural strip of land along the Syrian Turkish border. He wants to rule over Aleppo in Syria as well as over Mosul in Iraq. The war on Syria in the west, run by Turkey, the U.S. and various Gulf states, will continue. In this bigger context the Turkish move to Jarablus is a mere skirmish on the side."
Turds are screwed.

Since it appears this thread is the right one ill repost my question
Ignoring all the kurd/turk-hate for a second, why would anyone in their right mind support assad?
With him in power nothing will change and even if he wins there will be another insurgency down the road

Because he's got wide support in Syria, unlike what you may hear from terrorist supporters. He's the only person who can bring Syria back from the brink as he represents its deep state that has connections to China, Russia etc.
Daniel Long
Assad is a Moscow shill. Having the adoration of Moscow as a dictator still counts for something.
Also, consider that an FSA victory will produce the exact same outcome as what happened in Libya. At least with Assad there's a backed government.
Aaron Sanders
the alternative are islamists who would slaughter all minorities, if he wouldnt have popular support he would have been killed a long time ago
Michael Bennett
That is fucking disgusting
Luis Cook
Remove that Secular name boy i was here first i was here all night actually

I love how Biden is trying to take credit for the Turd's retreat from Manbij. They will retreat whether they like it or not, they cannot do anything about a blitzkrieg of NATO's largest land army. Only thing that they have is US air support and the US is not going to attack Turkey for Turds.

JUST FUCK MY NATION-STATE UP SENPAI
Brandon Morales
Feels like we need an update on the friends/enemies chart. Turks and Kurds are friends with the USA, and fight each other. Turks are maybe (?) friends or neutral with SAA/Russia. Kurds were but aren't now. Moderates are doing something and no one likes ISIS.
this will not stand, this aggression against, uh, the kurds

While i am eager to know how Leopard 2 is going to perform in warzones, i fear a bit that turks going to fuck it up.

>Turks take North Aleppo >SDF takes rest of IS territory >Assad will never get this back It looks like America wins again lads.
Zachary Barnes
How do you guys think ISIS will respond? Obviously they can't resist Turkey + FSA, and knowing this they have simply retreated out of the border. As a result, one of their lifelines are cut off, and they have a whole bunch of troops concentrated into Al-Bab. Where do they aim? Do they start a counter-offensive after the dust has settled and Turkish troops are mostly gone? Do they go full MAD and start mass suicide bombings in Turkey? Will they ever try to fight the Turkish army anywhere?

Syria is literally a Drama/Thriller action packed show at this point.
And the script and plot twists are amazing
Brayden Miller
They've got shitty old Leos, bad benchmark
Please god get me my total clusterfuck
Asher Gomez
Wait, isn't SDF US backed?
Christian Allen
They seem to be doing two things, one utterly absurd and the other rational.
Some IS are pulling back to pull a Berlin in Raqqa, which they know is next.
But some are also throwing themselves at the Kuweires airfield for some unknown reason while the Turks are coming in behind them.
Nathaniel Baker
>Do they go full MAD and start mass suicide bombings in Turkey?
unfortunately this
Grayson Gray
yes
Blake Murphy
Oh look, useless shit that was never going to recovered by Assad
Good job good effort
Colton Parker
Is it YPG that didn't pull back, or Arab troops who were misidentified as IS?
Jonathan Lopez
At last we'll see them in action But I think they'll get Korneted very soon :)
Justin Harris

wew lad
Tyler Miller
What is this site? Every thrid thread you post this shit, and it is always your only post. Is it to track ips that connect to it? Or am i giving you to much inteligence?
Carson Edwards
what this part of Obama`s plan?
Carter Stewart
Seems like the SDF made its move. This is is far north as they will get. I wonder if this front line will hold. Will be messy if they keep competing for going north the whole corridor.
YPG hasn't pulled back, is now clashing with roach forward advance around Amarinah

Because hes responsible for mass murder/torture before the war, and i doubt he's going to change that.
Ian Allen
Why in the world would they pull back? To let FSA get a city they've been fighting for for 2 months?
Brayden Harris
How are things going there?
Ryder Morris
Nope, Turks are bombing Amarinah as we speak
Zachary Sanders
LMAO

So they'll challenge every single country on the entire planet besides Turkey and Israel, and we just forget every other battle where they gladly fight to the last man. ok then.

It's not always my only post
I follow /sg/ anyway
the link is related to the situation in Syria, but the situation in Syria is part of a larger equation that ultimately leads to ww3
the site simply redirects to a Sup Forums thread. once it archives I update the redirect
currently it points here the image is from the EU report on ISIS and CBRN weapons, here;
>Reports: YPGSDF shells FSA position near al-Amarne village south Jarablus
Lucas Williams
rather I should say *before it archives
Robert Long
My body is ready
Jonathan Cook
They finally realized the Kurds and ISIS are bigger problems than Assad, because Assad doesn't suicide bomb weddings.
You'll note this operation was carried out by the Turks with American backup, no Russians involved, consulted or anything. They don't give a fuck if the pro-Assad faction dislikes the Turks being in Syria.
