Syrian government forces have regained more areas from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham-led forces in northern Hama. Government troops have captured Massanah, Zawr Mahruqah, and reached Markabah. Clashes were also reported in Buwaida and Zailaqiat. Current developments show that government forces will likely attempt to secure Buwaida and Markabah and then storm Lataminah.
Fresh speculation has been circulating in the media that Russia is preparing to deploy its ground forces to Syria following an expected official request by the Syrian government. The reports refer to some unknown military sources and argue that a plan for the deployment already exists. However, this looks like another attempt to warm things up on the diplomatic front amid the collapse of “opposition” forces in northern Hama.
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have continued their steady advance against ISIS in the northern countryside of Raqqah and inside the town of Tabqah.
The SDF seized the district of Wahhab in southern Tabqa and an industrial facility in the western part of the town, allegedly killing over 10 ISIS terrorists.
While the SDF is successfully advancing inside the town, reports that the US-backed force is in control of over more than half of Tabqah are not confirmed by evidence.
In the northern countryside of the ISIS self-proclaimed capital, SDF fighters achieved full control over a number of recently encircled villages north of Al-Hazimah and Mazraat Tishrin.
On Monday, the US Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control issued sanctions against 271 employees of Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center, alleging that the agency is responsible for producing chemical weapons.
“We take Syria’s disregard for innocent human life very seriously, and will relentlessly pursue and shut down the financial networks of all individuals involved with the production of chemical weapons used to commit these atrocities”, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.
There are no doubts that the words “all individuals” don’t include members of al-Qaeda-style “opposition organizations” operating across Syria, specially if these “opposition organizations” fight against the Assad government.
On April 7th, the US launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Ash Sha’irat military airfield operated by the Syrian Air Force following an alleged chemical attack supposedly conducted by the Syrian government in the province of Idlib. This move was described by Washington as a legal way to send a “signal” to the Syrian government.

Look seriously like the zionazi tuppence quislings are planning to go to war against NK very soon.
Entire US Senate to descend on White House for N. Korea briefing

I bet they won’t.
Once the US has installed its THAAD missiles in South Korea everyone has a beer and a laugh. Mission accomplished.
So the US Office of Foreign Asset Control has leapt in with sanctions against 271 Syrian individuals following the sarin false flag committed by the US-created, funded and trained terroists. OFAC is a US Treasury department tasked with interdicting terrorist funding streams amongst other things. It did absolutely nothing to interdict the funding channels of ISIS when it had the massive oil looting program running.
Can some one please explain to me why it seems that only Jews or Israelis with dual- citizenship get to head up the US Treasury Department?
Senate Members of US Knesset, seemed real eager to confirm the nomination of the current ‘occupier’ of the office, despite many concerns about how he preyed on US homeowners caught up in the Sub-Prime Housing crisis…..
I looked at the front page of RT this morning and have come to the conclusion that Western Civilisation has gone INSANE.
I do have serious concerns about the policy of North Korea. Whose side are they on? Do not they realize that their foolish ranting of aggression against the USA is playing in American interest?

What you see is zio-gay media “edits” of what the NK say. NK have consistently stated that any attacks by them would only be in response to israeli-american agression. Regardless what NK say, israel’s colonials and lockstep zio-gay media will distort and invent, as they do about Russia, Syria, Iran, Venezuela and all the other countries tries they are attacking, so there is no point in NK playing to the propaganda whims of these zionazi.
The problem, as always, is those zionazi and nazis who are attacking NK, not their victim.

Russia Has Withdrawn Almost Half of Its Air Group From Syria’s Hmeymim Airbase
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201704261053021976-russia-withdraws-aircraft-syria/
“The number of terrorist units has decreased, which allowed us to withdraw almost half of the aircraft based at the Hmeymim airbase,” chief of the Main Operational Directorate Col. Gen. Sergei Rudskoi said at the VI Moscow Conference on International Security.
Rudskoi revealed that the Russian air group never exceeded 35 aircraft between November 10, 2016 and January 10, 2017. As for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), now Russia is operating about 80 drones in Syria, he added.
“Comparative analysis of the results of activities by Russian aircraft and the international coalition’s aircraft in Syria shows that having far fewer aircraft, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out three times more combat sorties and made four times more missile and bomb strikes,” Rudskoi said.
