Jackson Ortiz
T. Catholic frenchman :)?
James Nelson
@BosnjoBoy (35) Rebels next want to take Maan village, despite how hard it is. Later, Ahrar Sham will join the offensive & attack Hamamijat
If they do target Hamamiat then it means they are aiming for Kernaz next.
Good, the front line is permanently shifting southwards.
Adrian Thomas
Aleppo will fall into SAA's hand just as planned.
Jackson Mitchell
>Good, the front line is permanently shifting southwards Very moderate indeed

I can smell your slavshit stench from over here.
Zachary Howard
a turkish surveillance aircraft flied over IS controlled western jarablus all night. there will be an offensive soon.
Justin Sanchez
Just saw that Liwa al-Fatemiyoun (Iranian-trained Afghans militia) are also in SW Aleppo
Juan Russell
yeah its called a deodorant
maybe u can tell me a funny story about the turk army?
Bentley Perry
1997 North Iraq PKK operation(Operation Hammer) we stopped counting after 2730. i heard stories turkish commandos cutting pkk shit's ears, fingers and wearing as necklace.
Ryan Baker
there are kurds in turkish army too.
Justin James
...
Kevin Ross
yeah thats pretty good, but operation euphrates shield is still a better joke
even this dude fights while turks cower in their tanks behind a dune somewhere
Joseph Perry
Agreed.First 5 days were pretty good but then fucked up we should have liberated menbij within a week
Asher Robinson
have a Rare Assad
Ayden Stewart
That camo.
Fights ISIS as a duck hunter. Must be real bad ass.
What do they mean by "missile battalion"? A weapon storage?
Brody Smith
Don't worry.When we are done you'll have enough Kurdish immigrants to satisfy your desires.
Michael Roberts
His smile and optimism: gone.
Ayden Allen

Asher Rivera
I'm pretty sure I saw a twitter report of Russians stationed in Maardas last year around October or November. Must be in one of the bases south of the town.
Nathan Jones
doing what? Capturing empty villages from your Daesh buddies? Muh t*rkish army!
Christian Clark
I doubt they captured Russian personal, maybe some weapons, though. No pictures of either yet. Surely hell would break lose if it was something important, RuAF would be carpet bombing the whole area right now.
Eli Jones
I bet the base was empty, why would Russians leave shit behind, they had a few days after the pressure started on Halfaya to empty it
..if there was still anything there in the first place
Julian Hill
they mean "underwater cavalry carrot storage"
sadly they had no phone to make photos
Alexander Parker
Google translating from Arabic is inaccurate as fuck. Probably a few Russian supplied (or manufactured) rpgs in a barn.
Brandon Clark
Oh I'm pretty sure Russians have long since left the area, they were there probably to oversee the tank grinder offensive last year. Maardas was comfortably behind the front line then, and I saw no reports of Russians fleeing during the current battles so if they were there they left months ago.
Same reason they leave T-90's that fall to the opposition, they have plenty of hardware and think the SAA can make use of some freebies
Carter Garcia
>Pro-Syrian Government sources are claiming that the Syrian Government has fully restored control over the Airforce Technical College and are still advancing within the base, Aleppo
HAS IT FINALLY HAPPENED
TELL ME THIS IS TRUE
Julian Nguyen
No the Arabic really does say the Russian missile battalion. Dunno if it's cause the missiles were made by Russians, but that's unlikely cause all missile bases in Syria would be Soviet based. More likely that Russians were based there a few months ago.
Joseph Martinez
russians only withdraw if cant win, they do not flee
only subhumans like arabs and turks flee
Adam Carter
Pretty much, its an are where Russian origin missiles were stored. Doesn't have anything to do with Russians.
hurr durr that's why you "withdrew" from Chechnya in 96, and Sloviansk, Mariupol, Karamtorsk, etc
We know how "brave" Russians are when they're not inside a Sukhoi
Henry Miller
The terrorists have captured a T-90? Wtf.
Jonathan Clark
grease please!
Joseph Martinez
>No the Arabic really does say the Russian missile battalion. This? Battalion refers to military personnel, not armaments. I refuse to believe they captured Russians. That would be too huge for this boring war.
Hunter Mitchell
Based on the pro gov videos from yesterday. They had pushed rebels out but their fighting position were all still up in the northern most buildings. Go to /k/ MEG, I geolocated all building in the videos so you can get a good idea where the line was.
Aaron Long
At least we all love houthis here right?
Right ??!! Their battles are hilarious
Jackson Hill
Forgot pic.
Elijah Roberts
I doubt Turkey is actually fighting, they have fired more artillery shots at Diyarbakir & Cizre than during 10 days of the Euphrats shield operation.
Thomas Young
Thank you based babymurder Bashar
Jayden Gonzalez
>replying to ukrainian shitposter
Brandon Thomas
They captured one a couple of months ago. Verified
Nobody has seen it since then tho, it was probably too rekt to repair.
Lincoln Cox
But they actually got in this time yeah?
Nathaniel Edwards
Yeah, al-Nusra captured one months ago but since they don't have supplies or anything it's basically useless
They didn't capture Russians ffs no one is claiming they did
In this war they use unit size names to refer to the geographic base they are permanently based in, see Division 17 and Regiment 46
Notice they say "liberated" which is what they use for territory, not personnel
I don't know why would they say "Russian", might be a local name for a local base, but I think it might be because Russians were briefly based in there last year but aren't anymore
Camden Gutierrez
>that ak furniture disgusting
Noah Perez
of cource, they should have had spare batteries
they did not flee, in 1st checnhia they have won battles and killed 4x more enemies, but signed political treaty with separatists, in slaviansk they withdraw from encirclement. same - in all other locations
they withdraw, arabs and turks flee in panic.
that is main difference.
Ryder Rogers
KEK. Arab armies can't into war even with expensive gear. It must have belonged to the Tigers, even more shamefurre.
Bentley White
They have been getting in for a week. They always take the northern buildings and than get pushed out by arty. Don't know I they held it since nether side has released any pics or videos today.
Jose Howard
Hm what? The geographical location is called missile battalion?
As long as they say 'we captured Russian battalion' they're claiming they captured Russkies.
Your language is so confusing. No need to overcomplicate things this much. They better rename the place.
Brayden Cruz
hey man i am just occasional vistor here so am not familiar with people ITT but form what i underrstood you are firmly on the opposition side? Or even ISIS? And if yes, care to explain in few setences why? I really wonder what makes someone side with the people who literally behead their enemies
Jacob Hughes
This already happened yesterday though
Ian Ward
Yeah when I said actually I meant that they haven't been pushed out this round. That's why I hate tech college and 1070. Can't wait for that to be over.
Nathan Davis
Wasn't around yesterday m8
Oliver White
Nusra capture 2 T-90, 1 at El Ais second in N. Aleppo.The second one is the one with Zenki. Nusra captured the position, tank was abandoned and they kept advancing. Zenki came in after, saw the tank, moved it to its garage and took pics. After Nusra went to sharia court and got Zenki to return the tank since they were the ones to capture it first.
Austin Baker
It's the location where a missile battalion is or was based so that's what they call it yeah
The question is why are they calling it Russian
Ayden Hall
>airstrike literally kills women and children >syria goy media says 10 terorists were killed >assads bases are being seized and hes not responding
haha so glad to finally see assad get BTFO every day. assad cucks on suicide watch
Aaron Hernandez
Pretty sure it is the only one, as we would hqve seen hundrets of pictures and videos otherwise. T90 are not given to ndf shitters or used as a roadblock.
Jeremiah Hughes
k.. keep me posted
Chase White
>there was a video tour yesterday >nobody claims to have thrown them out since three days >still acting like its happening every evening they were not thrown out since the large night offensive by rep guard and liwa al quds.
Gavin Allen
Why is Yemen coupled with Saudi Arabia? It should be labeled something like "RIP Salman's Hopes and Dreams" or something
Nathan Gray
LEL
Jose Roberts
And what kind of "missiles" could they mean? Russia didn't use any land based short range missiles in Syria as far as I'm aware of.
Levi Morales
Beheading is exaggerated because terrorists always use it to terrorize Westerners
This is a brutal civil war and atrocities do happen regularly on both sides, it just seems common sense to me that a decentralized opposition that can't control its comrades in arms is cleaner than a centralized regime that systematically commits war crimes
The Syrian people protested against Assad, he responded by shooting them and torturing them, some militants began killing people, Assad used the militants as an excuse to kill and torture everyone - including civilians and nonviolent dissidents
So the civilians grew angrier, began shooting the army back, some soldiers of the army defected, some foreign Sunnis came to help the Syrian Sunnis, and the civil war started
Despite all the war crimes by the opposition, it is only a tiny percentage of what Assad's government has done, from torturing children, raping women, using scorched earth bombardment against residential centers
Tl;dr I see the opposition as the legitimate people who are defending themselves against an aggressive mass murderer, I see their war crimes are horrible but we shouldn't generalize, and I see the jihadis as people who should be fought after Assad is done for
Never forget, this is how the Syrian war started - by the men and women of Syria who said enough to a tyrant, a tyrant that couldn't handle peaceful dissent
Based rep guards are cutting of tel kurdi as we speak. East ghouta is burried
Ryder Reed
Kill yourself
Brandon Parker
Maybe it just means artillery
Eli Butler
My money is on russian beeing used instead of sowjet missile base. They build basically the complete militsry infrastructure there including stuff like kuweires
Adam Peterson
Tactical nukes when?
Brandon Powell
Thanks, yeah I remember the Eiss one, I suppose nothing since?
Didn't know Nusra took it from Zenki, interesting
Leo Jackson
It was counted upon him to die 4 years ago along with his government and everything that isnt sunni in syria. He survived this far and still inflicts severe butthurt upon most of the western hemisphere, because of russians which inflicts exponentially more butthurt than before. The man went to hell and back, and he is walking on the same earth as we do. Stay mad, i want your blood pressure to rise and to eventually kill you. Go find info online to post it here to shill for terror and evil. Go, it will make you more anxious, raising your blood pressure further.
Nathan Sanders
you didnt let him finish.
Assad must go on Holiday
Camden Gonzalez
Did you not just claim one threat esrlier, that the saa was made up of warlords, without aknowleding central command and suh3il hassan being a renegade? could you speak with your superiors and find a coherent talking point? Thank you
Connor Kelly
Hoping for some East Ghouta progress indeed. After all the Hawsh Nasri back and forth shit seemed to have stalled a bit
Not Latakia-tier stalled but still

Parker Garcia
What is true in 2016 is necessarily also true in 2011
No capital letters Deutsch strikes again
Assad = devolution from top down
Rebels = evolution from bottom up
Bentley Kelly
this muthafucker thinks hes in the matrix
Jaxon Hughes
So why are you supporting the rebels the in 2016 and not 2011. Yesterday you claimed you were pro shia and a hezbollah fanboy a few years ago. Does not really fit the picture mr shill.
Andrew Taylor
thats a well written and coherent post, really. Now i see why you arent getting shat on unlike those fitlhy subhuman jihadi roaches. That still doesnt mean i agree with your choice of sides but it definitely makes sense what you write
Josiah Richardson
you should have seen him in the video, hes reading a book (probably a quran) all chill and then he finishes, closes it and takes a shot with the rifle
Houthis seem to be really friendly guys. They always wave at the cameraman
Logan Cruz
Because
1. They are still far more decentralized than the Syrian regime even if they do unite into one mega faction. It's the difference between forcing people to unite, and between joining an army that already has a set leadership.
2. Even if both sides were equally centralized, there is the matter of the magnitude of war crimes.
3. Even if this is 2016, it doesn't change what Assad has done since 2011, it doesn't change that he is the aggressor since his men fired the first shots on civilians, and the rebels are justified in continuing to fight him until he stops shooting and bombing. When you start a war, you don't get to be the victim.
Honestly number two is the most important criterion. If there is a faction worse than Assad, I guess I'd support Assad. But talking about what would ISIS do if it had an air force is just an exercise in hypothetical scenarios.
I do support Assad loyalists in one case only, and that is when they defend Druze, Alawi, Shia or Ismaili villages from ISIS, because then they are actually preventing genocide. It's the same as my modus operandi of supporting Turkey in Jarablus while supporting the YPG in Kobane. The same actors in different situations can change from the victims to the aggressors and vice versa. It is a case by case basis.
Most of them are getting butthurt and filtering me, coherent opinions hurt them a lot more than autistic shitposters
Cheers
Grayson Long
All legit Syrians are in Sweden along with all fake Syrians. This war is between Syrian government and foreign interests.
Legitimate noble people's revolutions against tyrants aren't funded. We got a lot of big players investing into their proxies. If you think the war is being fought for justice and happiness you're wrong. If you think if people are going to benefit from Assad's fall you're wrong.
Anyone can win in this war. Except Syrian people.
Angel Thompson
friendly reminder to filter jihadiposting and roachposting next time i wont be so friendly
Jackson Young
yeah unless hes saudi/american/israeli
i like how they always have that shitty radio on
the saudis let them steal all their high end gear, theyre pretty much fucked
Henry Nguyen
So you prefer decentralized rule over centralized rule? You prefer rag tag militias over an army? if thevrebels claim to be more legitimate than the gov, you surely must hold them to thensame standard? sounds like arabic bullshit logic to me. Shows perfectly why you are all still stuck in the middle ages.
Justin Long
Wrong. Name me one legitimate modern revolution against a well armed regime that wasn't funded. I cannot think of it. Nicaragua, China, Ethiopia, Turkey, Vietnam. Revolutions need weapons against weapons. You can't just revolt with determination.
The protesters in Syria clearly represent the Sunni working class, and to a lesser extent the middle class as well.
The Tlass clan, a Sunni family loyal to Assad since Mustafa became Hafez's right hand man in the 1950's, was forced to join the opposition against Assad because of the way his security forces massacred people at the Tlass' hometown of Rastan, Homs.
This is an internal civil war first and foremost, but the opportunists obviously exist on both sides trying to advance geopolitical interests.
