He seems completely reasonable, brave and sophisticated, also genuinely concerned for Syria. I just somehow can't buy it..him signing the use of such weapons against civilians.
He'll go down the drain of dictators like the rest of them, truth doesn't matter
Nathan Evans
Sadly, this... Not only truth but COMMON FUCKING SENSE is ignored here
>The mountain will be top cancer though. The mountain will be a cause of constant mortar shells landing on civilians for weeks probably. Can't RuAF the jihadi in elaveted terain.
Interesting, I've seen some of this shit in Necronomicon and Picatrix, but I was always far from believing it. In my opinion as someone completely sceptic, there is grain of truth in this stuff, but it is weird as fuck when it happens to "work".
Why do you think 4th still tries to advance and takes casualties, why it's obvious only Tiger forces have coordinated RuAF support and are the only ones making real gainz on the ground? Ego of officers? Impatience of soliders? Envy?

I'm usually sceptical of astrology but why not
Charles Brooks
Keeping the jihads occupied?
Cooper Peterson
They could as well keep their positions and wait for the real counter-jihadis to advance. In all honesty I just blame Arabs
Special operation forces of US are being treated by it's country like Wagner is by RF.. >If they didn't prod them at western side of Daraa, they would be counter-jihading the Tigers. I think militants in western Dara'a are either jihadis from Khalid bin Walid or their equally radical friends, they have not much in common (in terms of planning operations) with southern front and Bunian al-Masours or however al Qaeda there calls themselves
Hopefully Assad and the YPG reach a deal soon, it would fuck over the Americans. There are a lot of rumors about negotiations.
Anthony Reyes
>they have not much in common Don't be gullible, radicals i.e Bunian al-Masours (HTS etc with FSA face) are the only thing that kept Saida and now keeping Tayyibah from falling into SAA hands. Radicals have had presence in the east all throughout the offensive (loads of jihadi flags could be seen when Busra al-Harir fell). The moderates of the east (Shabab al Sunna etc) aren't in the game anymore.
Hm, I thought there's too much bad blood between al-Qaeda (Bunian al-Masours, HTS etc with FSA face) and Islamic State, but I guess you're right and in their twisted wrecks of minds it's just to kill a nusayyri. >(loads of jihadi flags could be seen when Busra al-Harir fell). Ha, missed it, I genuinely thought it was held by some ex-SAA """"moderate"""" FSA. >(Shabab al Sunna etc) aren't in the game anymore. Yeah, noticed this when I saw how much heavy stuff they surrendered. Not suprised tho, with ~60 RuAF airstrikes daily it was pointless to continue fighting if they don't aim for martyrdom.
Well, from what I see Tafas is so hard to take because it not only has (moderatly supplied) TOWs, but also IS radicals willing to fight to the last. I'm aware Bunian Marsours fags were present there all the time, it's just having a hard time believing they're willing to ally with IS.
Bentley Martinez
Can someone please explain to me why Israel likes Assad now?
I mean if they keep murdering themselves in Idleb, why would they ally one another in Dara'a? Is it the pressure from the Evil Alawite Majoosi Invaders™?
My boneheaded reading from the spring equinox has it that the chart is valid until September 20ish, and that it is a time of discovery/obtaining knowledge. Which panning out as the SAA pokes at the different green pockets in Yarmuk and Darra to see if they will collapse or not.
The sun (representing the head of state) in the third house indicates Assad concerning himself with transportation and communication, and this matches the focus on reopening the Hama-Homs-Damascus-Darra road. At this point I’m too much of a brainlet in this subject to go any further.
