"SYRIAN TROOPS ADVANCE WEST OF SARAQIB AMID LAMENTATION AND WEEPING OF AL-QAEDA SUPPORTERS" - Southfront I may have been a little over-critical of Russian efforts in Syria's Idlib. There are reports of Russian aircraft in the skies again today and Syrian forces have retaken Saraqib and are moving forward again. They have also turned back... Continue Reading →
Syria: Time To Take The Gloves Off
"IRANIAN FORCES IN SYRIA WARN TURKISH MILITARY OVER RECENT DRONE STRIKES ON GREATER IDLIB" - Southfront I sometimes forget that there are Iranian forces and militias, including the equally noble forces of Hezbollah in Syria, fighting alongside Syrian government troops. They generally receive little credit for what they do, operating mostly independently in the background... Continue Reading →
Syria: Appearances May Be Deceptive
There is a lot of disinformation going around on the conflict in Syria's Idlib province at the moment, mostly emanating from the Turkish side. Claims of massive Syrian casualties are unsupportable. As are claims of the destruction of Syrian chemical weapon facilities. No such facilities exist. It is clear that the conflict has taken a... Continue Reading →
Syria, The Week In Review
While the Turks and terrorists gloat over the retaking of Saraqib and the important M4/M5 highway junction there, over the past week Syrian forces have recovered a much larger area of their lands to the south in the mountainous salient and the plain of al-Ghab to the west of it that has been a thorn...

Turkey, All Alone In The Red Corner

Syrian Army Continues Task of Liberation and Defeating Terrorism
"TURKEY FAILED TO FULFILL ‘A COUPLE OF KEY COMMITMENTS’ IN IDLIB, LAVROV SAYS" - Southfront As if in answer to my plea yesterday (I know it's not of course, just coincidental), Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov speaks of Turkey's failure to live up to promises jointly made earlier. Though what he says appears to be... Continue Reading →
Turkish Presence In Syria A Mistake. Needs To Be Corrected
The current situation in Syria is and always has been muddied by the unsupportable attitude of the US, Turkey (and others), whose only aim lies in the fact that they would prefer to see terrorists occupying parts or all of Syria than the Syrian people themselves. This is because a free and successful Syria is... Continue Reading →
Stirring Recep’s Recipe For Madness
I like Zero Hedge. I especially like Zero Hedge when he is talking about real stuff and not just wallowing through the mire of financial collapse (well, that is what it looks like to me), important as that is. It gets a little boring waiting for the world of national economies to go belly up,... Continue Reading →
“There’s No Understanding Anything Without A Grasp Of Its History”
"There’s no understanding anything without a grasp of its history—which, of course, is the American failing over and over again." The above is a quote by Patrick L. Smith, interviewer in this piece: “Intelligent people know that the empire is on the downhill”: A veteran CIA agent spills the goods on the Deep State and... Continue Reading →
