On December 5, Syrian government forces liberated the villages of Jalaa, Ramadi and Buq in the province of Deir Ezzor.
On the same day, six Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bombers carried out a massive strike on ISIS positions near al-Sayyal destroying weapons depots, strong points and contentrations of ISIS members.
On December 6, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies continued their advance towards al-Sayyal. According to pro-government sources, they even reached positions of the SAA near al-Bukamal.
In the Beit Jinn pocket in southern Syria, the SAA secured the area of Bard’ayyah Heights and captured Shehab Hill. In this way, government forces established a fire control over the supply line of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham between the western and eastern parts of the pocket.
US forces plan to stay in Syria as long as they “need to” support their local partners and to ensure that terrorists will not return and will not be able to plot external attacks, Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon told AFP on December 5.
According to official reports, the US currently has about 2,000 troops on the ground in Syria. These forces are involved in operations against ISIS and in keeping the US influence in the war-torn country.
Syrian experts say the only real reason why the US wants to stay in Syria is to achieve own geopolitical goals in the region: to oppose the Damascus government, Iran, Hezbollah and Russia.
The Israeli Defense Forces have reportedly been placed on high alert in expectations of a wave of violence after the Trump administration announced its intention to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Trump told regional leaders of his decision by phone sparking criticism from around the globe. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Jerusalem’s status is a “red line” and Ankara could respond by cutting ties with Israel.
According to experts, the US decision will fuel further the tensions in the region.
Irrelevant sideshow.
When the US collapses and dissolves into many regions,
there won’t be a US embassy in Jerusalem.
Those Israelis better start thinking who is gonna protect them
when the surrounding countries are let loose to take revenge.
Israeli bellyaching

I must admit to a bit of confusion. Russia just announced complete victory over ISIS, that ISIS no longer controls any territory in Syria. Now we get word that Russia has just bombed what sounds like major ISIS forces in AbuKamal, a city they already announced conquered a few days ago.
So, can anyone shed light on this? Is ISIS still holding territory or not?
The only adult comment on Trump’s recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital I have come across, comes from Bernhard of Moon of Alabama. Three short quotes:
“The only reasons for U.S. presidents to circumvent the 22 year old law by issuing waivers was to pretend that the U.S. would be a neutral broker towards some peace between the (east-)European colonists and Palestinians. That was from start to end a deception. Congress and U.S. presidents are under control of the Zionist Lobby which can marshal enormous amounts of money to make or defeat candidates for legislative or executive offices. The Zionist billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who also sponsors the fascist Israel Prime Minister Netanyahoo, donated more then $100 million to the Trump campaign and tens of millions to Congress races. Today was time for Trump to settle some of that debt.”
“The Trump declaration only reveals the true long-standing U.S. position but it still matters. It provides without doubt that the U.S. is the enemy of the people on the Middle East. It exposes those Arab rulers that seek to ally with the U.S. It elevates all those who have been fighting the U.S. all along.”
“Trump’s move will increase the internal instability of those countries U.S. imperialism in the Middle East depends on. The Gulf States are the most endangered. Their pliant leaders will come under increased pressure from their own people. At some point that pressure will violently relief itself. I find it likely that the U.S. will be the first to be hurt by it.”

That bernhard banned me from moa several years ago for claiming zionazis had that kind of power. He claimed they did not and forbade me to discuss zionazi power on the site. I guess one has to be on the “right side” before they are allowed to discuss zionazi power.
With 25 % of the territories Partitioned, 80% of Oil and Gas Resources Taken, and about 20% of Population Controlled by US / Kurdish, the rest of Syria is a weak and a destabilized Nation. The next move of the Hegemon is:
“Syria’s Kurds have revealed plans that could ultimately redraw the northern part of the country by linking the Kurdish region of Rojava with the Mediterranean Sea, in a move that will infuriate neighboring Turkey.”
Syria’s Kurds march on to Raqqa and the sea

The zionazi guardian vomiting israeli propaganda, as usual. One might just as well quote a murdoch rag.
I like this general’s style:
“General Suleimani Leaves a Letter to Owner of House He Dwelled in While Leading Al-Bukamal Battles.”
“The commander of IRGC’s Al-Quds Force General Qassem Suleimani left a letter to the owner of the house he dwelled in while leading the anti-ISIL battles in Syria’s Al-Bukamal.
General Suleimani apologized to the owner of the house for dwelling in it without his permission and expressed readiness to compensate for any damage he may have caused to the house, including his personal phone number in the letter.
General Suleimani also pointed out that he as a Shiite does not differ from the owner of the house who is Sunni, stressing that both follow Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and love His Family (P).”

fighting generals like these, will decide what will happen to MENA region ultimately.They will cluster around the barrel bomber like leaves on the tree.

Published since 6 May 2017, it is a fact that most of events happening in Syria Now, were planed time head.
Facts speak for themselves.
It is a fact that most of the “Territory Desired by Kurds” is taken Now, as result of US / Kurdish operations.
Actions speak louder than words.
Since May 2017 “Syria’s Kurds have revealed plans that could ultimately redraw the northern part of the country by linking the Kurdish region of Rojava with the Mediterranean Sea” This is what is left to be accomplished.
The Plan of collapse of the Soviet Union, vas Published since 1973 and was accomplished on 1991. The Russian were caught off guard, and they lost the Ukraine, and more republics too. It is an irreversible process that eliminated any possibility for Russia to be a superpower again.

To understand the present and to predict the future we must know the past.
I would say rather that the Ukraina have lost Russia; and that separation is far from irreversible. Kiev’s historical friends are not to be found in Poland and Lithuania. And I base this opinion neither on facts nor on actions, but merely on some words I heard declaimed 50 years ago in English; the words of an ineffectual fictional character, Barbara, in The Cherry Orchard:
VARYA and all the time I am dreaming. …. I’d set off for some isolated monastery, then to Kiev… then to Moscow… I would be a pilgrim to all the holy places… I’d walk and I’d walk… It would be bliss!…
Ah, yes. That special-chosen-exceptional message for the unbelievers, once again. Probably the most dumbed down of israel’s western marks is the “Christian” armageddon freakshow. Pure putty in zionazi Jew hands. IE: “here dumbed down dummies, put everything you got into supporting israel so God will teleport you to heaven when your gullible stupidity kills you”.
The 1960s flick, “The Flim-Flam Man” is probably still available for download or disk purchase. ;-D One of the better films out of hollywood, btw.
Vot, you and I are on the same side though we arrived from different directions. Perhaps the following sentence, which I ommitted from the above post, led to an over simplification of my position: “Nor are the natural friends of Kiev to be found among its Jewish oligarchs”. My high opinion of the Church is in no way based on the crude superstition which, as you correctly describe, is currently being peddled by A-Z-C agents in the backwoods of the USA and which I was disgusted to hear preached by a couple of Israeli visiting speakers in a Methodist chapel in England..

My comment was a reply to the anonymous comment before yours. I should have specified this in the comment. Sorry, my mistake.
Since the zionist forces will be tied up with the New Intifada, will that prevent their ability to invade Lebanon and Iran?
