The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has continued advancing against militants in the area of Ayn Tarma east of Damascus. According to pro-government sources, the SAA has liberated 10 more buildings in the direction of the Ayn Tarma roundabout.
Syrian Air Force warplanes carried out 13 air strikes on the positions of Faylaq al-Rahman and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Ayn Tarma and Jobar areas. The SAA killed more than 15 HTS fighters and destroyed a vehicle. Faylaq al-Rahman was able to damage an SAA tank and to destroy a BMP vehicle. The militants claimed that they repelled the SAA push in eastern Damascus.
On Wednesday, Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers struck ISIS targets in Syria with X-101 cruise missiles. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the cruise missile strike destroyed three large arms and ammunition depots, and a terrorist command center near the city of Uqayribat in the province of Hama. The strike was made from a range of about 1,000 kilometers. The Tu-95MS bombers took off from an airfield in Russia.
According to experts, an intense bombing campaign in the Uqayribat area preceedes a large anti-ISIS operation aimed at liberating the whole eastern Hama countryside from ISIS.
The US-led coalition announced that the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have captured 18% of Raqqah city so far. The SDF allegedly advanced in Old Raqqah and took control of the road leading to Saif al-Dawla Mosque in the middle of the city.
According to opposition sources, US service members are participating in the battles alongside SDF members. ISIS claimed that 12 SDF fighters were killed on Wednesday in Sukarat, Souk al-Hal, and Sour Baghdad in eastern and southern Raqqah.
The only way to assure the Americans cannot respond is by taking away their ability to make decision in a unified and cohesive manner. If we allow Trump to make all this thunder and actually make America great again, then yes we will be in a position very similar to if Hillary Clinton won. Which is why our job is not to support any candidate, but to simply leverage both sides, the moment Trump is caught in a big scandal and we hear impeachment, you will see the American capability fall apart. When we hear too much about impeachment, we go back to fake news. We just need to balance fake news with impeachment, and America will not last very long. They are armed, anxious, and we cannot let them go back to business as usual, we need to shake their house up by cooking up a little something burger for CNN or any news that will discredit trump. He spoke in Poland condescendingly to us. We did not put him there for this, the moron is going to be the worlds most hated person when we are done with him and the liberal party. We just need to keep them fighting until they are literally about to start shooting, and then we just totally discredit the stronger side and watch the chips fall. Goal: civil war in America, like they did to us 1991, the put a drunk moron in our office, so we put a spastic one in theirs. I hope we can accomplish what they couldnt do to us. Should not be too hard, they are dying for a fight, Im hoping the SVR, Putin, and FSB can give them one at their homes
Great comment AA! hope your hopes come to fruition for the sake of humanity. Cheers.
I second that! And thank you SouthFront!
If, Friend, you knew more about the world, then it is to be expected that the things you’ve said would possibly be related to the objective realities.
“We” do not “have a job”. Maybe some do…
And the idea that “we” might “allow” is simply unrelated to fact.
What many see as “politics” is mere froth and smoke…
Is impossible to “make America Great Again(repeat slogan ad nausea) for at least 3 reason:
1) history may rhyme. never repeats.
2) never was Great (only opportunistic and self-serving and lucky)
3) America has ceased to exist as a nation. State remains, in collapse. Just now.
Not so nice, we may watch the freak show…that’s it. watch.
Well Russia has to make sure it happens and we should not worry about what trump says or does, he is a Manchurian candidate and one leak and he is over anyways
The gentleman narrator’s diction is much clearer than the British lady’s. However, it would be nice if both of them made a little effort to pronounce the Arabic names with less of the appalling English-American accent.
Watching WW3 class weapon systems in use in Syria by either side is conceptually a very scary and unhappy situation. Of course I’m glad our side can decimate the British crafted wahhabi invaders, but even so it still smacks of “we’ve gotta burn down the village to save the village” philosophy the yanks like so much. Evil always wants to groom us, and make the utterly unacceptable seem normal and mundane. Who even remembers Syria before the war?
Yet I’m in favour of Putin using his ‘big stick’- but this isn’t the big stick in motion. It is the Empire of the West that needs to be smacked around the gead until the sheeple there are so fearful of greater Empire war they stop supporting war mongers like Clinton, Trump, May and Corbyn (Corbyn is a Tony Blair henchman with a very transparent mask- he is as convincing as ***Lord*** Wedgewood Benn when Benn put on a flat cap and became ‘Tony’ Benn- architect of the Israeli nuclear bomb project in the early 1960s when Benn personally delivered massive supplies of British plutonium to Israel).
When Putin uses massive overkill against ISIS, it may help save Syrian lives, but the zionist mainstream media is able to say “at last Russia is agreeing to act as Western leaders have been demanding for years”. My opinion would be 100% different if Russia used the same tech to hit ISIS training facilities in Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia or Qatar- but hell will freeze over before that happens.
Of course, ‘cruise’ missiles are a 1st world tech only. If Iran, say, tried to use the same to defend itself in the coming war with the UK and USA, they’d find in an instant just how reliable satellite guided systems are for anyone outside of the exclusive club (PS Iran knows this, which is why most of their effort goes into standard ballistic missile tech).
Anyway Russia’s military ‘toys’ are first rate and only getting better. And yes, the use of this tech is a ***slight*** dissuader to top US generals whom the Deep State is trying to recruit for anti-Assad and Iran war purposes. But ***too*** slight. And slippery Trump may come off current G20 events with a more Russian friendly agenda, but the Deep State will be immediately back to undermining Trump and seeking the ‘Casus Belli’ that will justify overwheming US military force against Team Assad in the minds of the sheeple.
Filth like the neo-liberal warmongering horrors at Tony Blair’s mouthpiece, The Guardian newspaper, have already informed their low IQ readers that it is 100% certain that Assad launched a Sarin attack against Syrian people with Russia’s direct assistance recently. If you think The Guardian is just whistling Dixie, you are prize fools. The Guardian is the bellwether of the sheeple of the West (always thought ‘bellwether’ was ‘bellweather’- some sort of nautical term- but remember being first told in an English lesson so many years ago what ‘wether’ meant- always learn something new from a ‘google’ ‘spelling’ check).
