That article might be off-topic but it might be worth to know a bit what Erdogan's participation in Northern Syria.

Turkey’s Erdogan funds an ethnic cleansing in Syria, complete with women seized as sex slaves​

By Andrea Widburg


One of the things the media have been silent about since Turkish-backed forces attacked Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is how these same forces have used the moment to ethnically cleanse Kurds in northern Syria, including (as always with Muslim warriors) the sexual enslavement of women.

Most Westerners first became aware of the long-running regional war against the Kurds in 1988, during the Iran-Iraq war. That was when news broke that after Iranian troops and allied Kurdish fighters captured an Iraqi military base near the Kurdish town of Halabja, Saddam Hussein ordered a poison gas attack on the town itself. The attack killed 3,000-5,000 civilians, injuring 10,000 more.
Since then, the Kurds have frequently found themselves on the receiving end of murderous attacks. So, who are the Kurds, and why does this happen?

The Kurds are an ancient people who live in a mountainous region that spans Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. They are remembered historically because Saladin, one of the medieval era’s most consequential Muslim leaders, was a Kurd.
Kurds comprise a minority in each of the nations in which they live, making them frequent targets of discrimination. The fact that they are mostly Sunni Muslims (although there are also Yazidis, Zoroastrians, and a few Christians) means that many clashes occur when they intersect with regional Shia Muslims.

Turkey only formally abolished slavery in the 1930s and it was a common practice into the 60s. The last massacre of Christian Europeans by Turks was in the 1970s on Cyprus.
I am fucking sick of globohomo sucking up to those cockroaches.
If cockroaches are for something, I am against it, easy as.

So, Battle of Hama. Who will win? Will the government loyalists run again, or will they stand and fight? What are your predictions?

They'll probably pull out if I had to guess. Much is being made about airstrikes but its difficult to gauge the efficacy of those strikes without more information.

Really the most surreal aspect of this fight is the Russian/American air assets sharing airspace, targeting ground forces but otherwise leaving each other alone.

They are fighting but they're losing. According to liveuamap, the rebels are in the city and have taken the prison. If they larped as Bane, broke out the inmates and armed them it would be pretty funny.

Edit: looks like I got it right.

Already a red flag in the first words.

Why should I listen to someone who can't tell the SNA from the HTS?

Well, the regime fought for Hama and lost it anyway. Reports that there's now regime troops encircled north of the city.
There's also been rumors that the leaders of Salamiyah made a deal with the Zionists of Sham to hand over the city peacefully.

Were well received. I was wrong and far too optimistic about the capabilities of the SAA.

It fell within 24 hours, not 48.

Wall Status: Closing in.

Choosing to fight for Hama was, with the benefit of our perfect hindsight, a big mistake. The SAA simply did not have enough time to get it's organized from its initial route from Aleppo. Homs is now the last city on the road to Damascus and Assads army has already sustained two catastrophic battlefield defeats.

If they aren't broken already, a third such defeat will almost certainly do so. Guess it's time for the cope-a-cabana hail Mary's. Assad is about to be reinforced by the VDV, Iraqi M1 Abrams, Turkey launching a full on war with the Kurds, Iranian militias pouring in AND he is going to cut a deal with the Jews to get involved.

Any day now. 2 more week too Damascus!

Just a reminder:
IMG_9582.jpeg

Syria won’t fall, Assad won’t fall.

Reinforcements are being rushed to the front, and despite being busy elsewhere, both Russia and Iran can easily spare 20.000 men each to kick the jihadis back.

Erdogan may want to create some chaos and expand his zone of control, but ultimately he won’t benefit from total civil war and a Syria ruled by wacky jihad types.

The Gukf states, unlike in 2015, also prefer peace and quiet and won’t send billions of dollars and thousands of recruit.

I’ll be back in a month or two to sneed and say I told you so, when Assad is still in power and the SAA have started to retake territory.
