What really makes me angry is that everyone is saying that it is FSA taking the Syrian land in the north while IT IS turkish army illegal invasion. There is no FSA anymore as they are fighting among the turkish soldiers, turkish tanks, turkish IFVs, turkish artillery, turkish planes, with turkish supplies and medical facilities all being on syrian territory. Plenty of YT videos to support this claim (even on liveauamap). Please stop this false commentary and PC. I would expect to see it fon MSM but here and on SF there should be no place for such lies. If it qaks like a duck, if it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck it’s a bloody duck.
Seems the Russian Federation now supports Erdogan and have likely signed secret agreements allowing Turks to invade the North Syria-Kurdish region. Kurds are a tool of USA and EU, and the Turks and Russians have a common cause fighting them.
Erdogan’s Turkey have their own goals. These will be held in check by Russian leverage and missiles. S-400, Iskander ect. Turkey are in Syria to prevent the US plan for partitioning. They go further than that and they pay a high price.
Very interesting…it would be super if Saker could analyse this…it is detailed but offering a different? complex interpretation???????
Or maybe I have misunderstood it…….,!
There are very serious problems with populating one’s governing establishment with critters who came of age in the abusive homosexual environments which british single gender public schools endow their students with. They forego rationality. The above zio-gay stupidity all based on zio-gay propaganda illustrates how far down the evolutionary ladder the public school bois and grrrrls have brought the UK, though like the usa and its present totalitarian zio-freakshow, and what this was based upon, there is not much different from their earlier rubbish.
Who cares what this toothless old lion does anymore? As a Britisher who was born in the Empire (‘on which the sun never sets’) lived through the Commonwealth and the EU, and now contemplates his depreciating sterling savings in Brexit, I feel like an Austrian told me they felt in the declining Austrian Empire: ‘Our situation is desperate but not serious’.
Separation of terrorist groups in Syria and the moderate opposition still has not happened, and the Kremlin are skeptical that this is possible. All this contributes to humanitarian pauses and conflict resolution.
“All these days the shelling continued checkpoints, attacks of terrorist groups on the main routes in the first place, Castello, which can be delivered humanitarian supplies, – the press-secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, at a briefing for journalists -. All of this, of course, makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, the formation of humanitarian tuples, at least, no one, including those who incurred such obligations, it does not work “. – he said.
“All of this, of course, does not promote any pauses or the provision of humanitarian assistance, no resolution of the conflict”, – said the representative of the Kremlin.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the need to agree a new humanitarian pause in Syria. “This week we will try again to agree on a new humanitarian pause that we’ve got to achieve a long-term truce. While we have not come to this “, – said the Minister.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that the issue of resumption of gumpauzy Aleppo in Syria is not relevant. “The humanitarian pause ended on Saturday. In order to be able to come back to such a regime, it is necessary that our opponents have provided adequate behavior of anti-government groups. There has been what was required in the past three days, so now the question of the resumption of the humanitarian pause is not relevant, “- said the diplomat.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussed with the US Secretary of State John Kerry situation in Syria.
Lavrov and John Kerry have agreed to continue to search for ways to normalize the situation in the Syrian Aleppo, according to the experts line. Russian Foreign Minister reiterated that the United States must fulfill its obligation to separate the teams ‘moderate’ opposition focused on Washington, by terrorist groups. Sergey Lavrov also drew attention to the fact that the illegal armed groups that hold the eastern part of Aleppo, said the introduction of the humanitarian pause fire on civilians. The initiator of the conversation were the United States.
Iran opposes foreign interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states under the pretext of combating terrorism, without coordination with the governments of these countries. This was stated by the President of Iran Hassan Rouhani us a press conference in Tehran.
According to him, this will lead to the destabilization of security in these countries. Iran respects the territorial integrity and the geographical boundaries of other states.
In addition, the Iranian Government has paid special attention to rescue civilians and provide them with necessary assistance.
The number of settlements that have joined the reconciliation process has increased to 842. The number of armed groups that have declared their commitment to the terms of a cessation of hostilities, has not changed – 69.
During the day recorded 51 shelling by the illegal armed groups in the provinces of Aleppo (24) Damascus (18), Hama (7) and Latakia (2).
The Russian Air Force FSI and Syrian opposition by armed groups, have declared a cessation of hostilities and to report to the Russian or American centers reconciliation information about their location, strikes are not applied.
Killing Syrian President Bashar Assad offered a settlement to resolve the crisis in the country one of the participants in a closed briefing for international affairs in the US Congress of the Council. This was announced by Foreign Policy magazine.
The issue of the killing of al-Assad was addressed to Philip Gordon, the former coordinator of the White House on the Middle East, which has criticized the initiative, calling it illegal and does not solve anything.
“This is illegal, and still would not change anything because Russia’s interests would have remained in Syria and Iran’s interests would have remained in Syria, “- Gordon said.
Hundreds of extremists fled their positions in Syria and went to Iraq to strengthen the defense of Mosul. On it informs AFP referring to a source close to the head of the French Ministry of Defence.
– At the moment, we have data on the movement of militants from Syria to Iraq. The reverse process is not observed, – said the source agency.
Russia began airing in Turkey intelligence on Syria, necessary for carrying out the Turkish operations, “Shield of the Euphrates.” The agreement was reached during the recent Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Turkey and his talks with the Turkish leader Erdogan, the website of the newspaper Izvestia.
According to “Izvestia”, the first deputy chairman of the Defense and Security Committee of the Federation Council Franz Klintsevich, Turkey joined the pool of exchange intelligence, which includes Russia, Syria, Iraq and Iran.
At a recent meeting of the American President Barack Obama and his team raised the issue of increasing the supply of weapons to the Syrian opposition to fight the Russian armed forces. It is reported by the newspaper The Washington Post, citing its own sources.
According to the newspaper, the meeting was not the plan is accepted, but at the same time and had not been rejected. The material of the newspaper is due to the fact that the skepticism about the troops, who recently supported the CIA, has increased.
Of The Washington You the Post calls the arming and training of the opposition “a central element of US strategy in the CAP”, which was designed to put pressure on President Bashar al-Assad and force him to leave his post. However, sources among the US officials talk about growing in the power of doubt that US efforts to help the rebels, given the serious interference in Moscow the situation.
At the same time supporters of increasing the supply, including CIA Director John Brennan and US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, insist that if the Russian operation in Aleppo is successful, the group, supported by the US, go to seek a “more reliable allies.” Furthermore, it can affect the US image in the region. At the same time skeptical about the idea of true US Secretary of State John Kerry – diplomat fears that as a result of the use of US weapons could kill Russian soldiers, which will strengthen the differences between Washington and Moscow.
International Committee of Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is concerned about the failure to carry out the evacuation of patients from the eastern Aleppo, and notes that hundreds of people in the city are in need of medical care. “Since Thursday, the ICRC has been alert to evacuate the wounded and the sick, who are desperately in need of medical care. Unfortunately, we could not begin to evacuate because of the lack of security guarantees on the ground, because it meant that we could not ensure the safety of patients. We are very disappointed with this. Those in need of treatment for the preservation of life, can not afford to wait any longer. Now Aleppo, hundreds of people in need of medical care. We are ready to help them. For the sake of the people, let us help until it is too late “, – said in a statement.”
While the formation of the Kurdish “peshmerga” and Iraqi government forces related operations in Mosul (Iraq), the Turks decided not to waste time in vain. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has recently announced its intention to create a “safe zone” in northern Iraq. It will be located near the border deep inside Iraq to 20 km. “Buffer zone” shall mean the occupation of Iraq, parts of the Turkish Armed Forces for an indefinite period.
Kurds during the attack on Mosul claimed that the Turkish army participated in the battles for the city will be regarded as aggression. Practically, the Kurds and the Turks have long are fighting against each other means available. As in Iraq and Syria, as well as in Turkey. Kurds carried out ambushes and attacks on Turkish soldiers, Turkish aircraft and artillery strike targets explored Kurdish rebels. Tactics can perhaps remind one that was used against the Soviet army in Afghanistan, and the Russian army in Chechnya. “Insurgent war” against the Kurds regular Turkish army. In this case, both opposing sides are armed with (including) US weapons.
That is, apparently, and answers the question of who the most profitable escalation of hostilities in the region. The Kurdish desire to create a state of their own in the near future will be used for attenuation of all in the region, except, perhaps, Israel. Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Iran found themselves in an unstable situation and even by the “Kurdish issues.” Thus, as soon as the runs human resources “LIH Project” (an organization banned in Russia) can become very serious issue “sovereign Kurdistan.” And Western countries, of course, the military and political struggle support. Not because it is profitable, but because it will solve the “boss”. How many benefits gained from Europe change in the situation in Libya, Iraq and Syria.” http://www.anna-news.info/node/66741

Over 60 civilians killed in coalition’s air strikes in Iraq
The official noted that over 60 civilians had been killed and more than 200 have been wounded in the past three days in air strikes by the United States-led coalition in Mosul and neighboring settlements.
“We know about numerous facts of the U.S.-led coalition’s air strikes against living quarters, schools and other civil infrastructure buildings both in Mosul and in other settlements in the Iraq’s Nineveh governorate,” he said. “In the past three days alone, more than 60 civilians, including children, have fell victims of these air strikes. More than 200 people have been wounded.”
Thus, according to the Russian defense ministry, a US warplane delivered an air strike on the Al-Hajj Yunus school for girls in southern Mosul on October 21. On the following day, air strikes hit living quarters in the settlements of Qaraqosh 20 kilometers east of Mosul and Hazna 15 kilometers east of Mosul.

It involves the Iraqi government troops, Kurdish units and the US-led international anti-terrorist coalition. Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city with a population of 1.3 million, has been controlled by Islamic State for over two years.
No-fly regime around Syria’s Aleppo
We have seen how America has said that they will not pursue Al Nusra Front Terrorists, who are also known as Jabhat al-Nusra.
This is because they have become intermingled with what is referred to as moderates Rebels.
It is said that there are also Civilians among them both of these Groups, and these would be the Families of the Terrorists and the Families of the so called moderate Rebels.
We Know that America is the Expert for Lies and for Euphemisms, and this is why Many People think the term moderate Rebels could be an American Lie or Euphemism for Terrorists by another Name.
We Know that People can at times Correctly Judge People by the Company that they choose to keep.
There could be some People who think the so called moderate Rebels want Prefer the Company of Terrorists such Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Nusra Front, and any other Terrorist Group that goes by different Names, and the so called moderate Terrorists can leave the company of Terrorists and even Foreigner Terrorists who are Not Syrian Citizens.
What this means is that the so called moderate Rebels are either Terrorists who are the Allies of the Undisputed Terrorists, or they are Hostages, and the Legitimate Democratically Elected President and Parliament of Syria have Offered Rebels who are Citizens of Syria an Amnesty, and so there is a Legitimate Peace Plan for Syrian Citizens, and it is One Government and one Country.
If the so called moderate Rebels are Hostages, then there could be People who think that they Need to be Rescued by some means.
Police in America are aware that some Hostage Rescue missions can Regrettably involve using force.
Police in America Know that sometimes Innocent People are causalities in those Regrettable Unavoidable Difficult to resolve situations.
The Civilians who are accompanying the so called intermingling of the Terrorists and the so called moderate Rebels would either be Hostages or Human Shields, and they would seek to be Rescued unless they themselves are Supporters of Terrorism and Terrorists, which would make Many of those Civilians Terrorists themselves.
This is Why the Legitimate Democratically Elected President and Parliament of Syria is Giving Amnesty to Syrian Citizens who find themselves in this situation.
America who is a Secret Ally of ISIS and other Terrorist Groups in Syria, and it is Highly Inappropriate for Terrorist America to Slander Russia and Syria who are Fighting Terrorism and who are doing that with International Law and National Law.
This is why there are People who think that Syria Should bring Charges of War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, and Genocide Against America.
There is a Legitimate Peace Plan for Rebels who are fighting against the Legitimate Democratically Elected President and Parliament of the United Nations Recognized Country of Syria, and who are Giving an Amnesty to Rebels who are Citizens of Syria, and that Peace Plan for Syria is to have One Government of the one Country.

We have seen how America has said that they will not pursue Al Nusra Front Terrorists, who are also known as Jabhat al-Nusra.
This is because they have become intermingled with what is referred to as moderates Rebels.
It is said that there are also Civilians among them both of these Groups, and these would be the Families of the Terrorists and the Families of the so called moderate Rebels.
We Know that America is the Expert for Lies and for Euphemisms, and this is why Many People think the term moderate Rebels could be an American Lie or Euphemism for Terrorists by another Name.
We Know that People can at times Correctly Judge People by the Company that they choose to keep.
There could be some People who think the so called moderate Rebels want Prefer the Company of Terrorists such Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Nusra Front, and any other Terrorist Group that goes by different Names, and the so called moderate Terrorists can leave the company of Terrorists and even Foreigner Terrorists who are Not Syrian Citizens.
What this means is that the so called moderate Rebels are either Terrorists who are the Allies of the Undisputed Terrorists, or they are Hostages, and the Legitimate Democratically Elected President and Parliament of Syria have Offered Rebels who are Citizens of Syria an Amnesty, and so there is a Legitimate Peace Plan for Syrian Citizens, and it is One Government and one Country.
If the so called moderate Rebels are Hostages, then there could be People who think that they Need to be Rescued by some means.
Police in America are aware that some Hostage Rescue missions can Regrettably involve using force.
Police in America Know that sometimes Innocent People are causalities in those Regrettable Unavoidable Difficult to resolve situations.
The Civilians who are accompanying the so called intermingling of the Terrorists and the so called moderate Rebels would either be Hostages or Human Shields, and they would seek to be Rescued unless they themselves are Supporters of Terrorism and Terrorists, which would make Many of those Civilians Terrorists themselves.
This is Why the Legitimate Democratically Elected President and Parliament of Syria is Giving Amnesty to Syrian Citizens who find themselves in this situation.
America who is a Secret Ally of ISIS and other Terrorist Groups in Syria, and it is Highly Inappropriate for Terrorist America to Slander Russia and Syria who are Fighting Terrorism and who are doing that with International Law and National Law.
This is why there are People who think that Syria Should bring Charges of War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, and Genocide Against America.
There is a Legitimate Peace Plan for Rebels who are fighting against the Legitimate Democratically Elected President and Parliament of the United Nations Recognized Country of Syria, and who are Giving an Amnesty to Rebels who are Citizens of Syria, and that Peace Plan for Syria is to have One Government of the one Country.
