And these are the 'good guys'! Sickening video shows US-backed Syrian rebels taunting and then brutally beheading a young boy because he was a 'spy'



Editing went derpy.

Zenki lost their vetted status a while back and havent got it back since then and now they'll most likely never will.

Maniacs. I'm sure they'll be punished by a military tribunal though, right about when Al-Nusra, ISIS, and Assad get around to punishing their own guys for war crimes. Also, in related news, Final Judgment comes this Thursday, watch for Jesus to return.

Can't believe the scumbags in Nur al-Din al-Zenki movement was ever vetted by the west. Unbealivable really. They took part in the widespread looting of eastern Aleppo and Amnesty pointed them out specifically in their report about rebel warcrimes. There is a reason western Aleppo always defended itself with such zeal.

Quintuple whopper.



Pimp my Hilux Al Anbar.

The regime is 1 km from closing off Aleppo and laying seige to the rest of the city.

They have encircled IS inside Manbij but the city is still far from cleared.

Syrian army 'cuts off last supply route to east Aleppo'

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/07/syrian-army-cuts-supply-route-east-aleppo-160727133458560.html

If Assad does take Aleppo its over.

The ''moderate'' rebels will not be able to bounce back from this.

Thinks just got a hell of a lot worse for the rebels inside Aleppo in just a matter of hours, they completely retreated from Bani Zeid and the YPG reportedly took the youth housing complex. That's a huge shift considering these front lines haven't changed in years.

For all the hubbub id say theyl be fine, far smaller and less well armed groups of rebels are still holding on in ghouta , daryaa and homs etc some right beside the rep guard main base.
In reality all they have to do is hold on til old crooked hilary gets in or edrogan finishes setting himself up as sultan.
Or the southern front decides to get off its ass.

The human suffering of civilians though will be hard to stomach

There's a famous photo of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam. It was Rummy or Reagan who said of Saddam: "He's a sob, but he is our sob" .

Gulbeddin Hekmatyar was the Mujaheddin leader who received the lion share of CIA funding in Soviet-Afghan war. Hekmatyar was infamous for throwing acid on women's face for not wearing the Burqa or Niqab. The CIA officer (famous guy but can't recall name) who dealt with Heymatyar mentioned thinking to himself whether the West really should be supporting guys like him.

In the 1990s Gama Islamiya (Islamist group)waged a brutal civil war in Algeria where some 60,000 people died. They also carried out bombings in France. Members of Gama Islamiya were veterans of the Afghan war. I read articles where Algerian civilians complained that they were paying the price for Western and Arab powers radicalizing Muslims to fight the Soviets ; the Algerian civil war was in part blowback from the Afghan war. During the Afghan war, the CIA paid for extremist books to be published and disseminated amongst Jihadis and children in Pakistan's border region.

To sum it up, a good deal of the blame for Jihadism is short sighted and amoral thinking of Western foreign policy wonks/architects. People rightly point to the Iraq war as being a leading cause but the West has been stirring shit up long before then. Now don't get me wrong, I am not trying to lay most of the blame on the Western doorstep but it should be kept in mind the West played a major role ; and I am not even touching on colonial era drawing of boundaries.

You're so naive. Aleppo is a huge city. If it's sieged supplies will run low FAST. There's so farmland like the other pockets to give them sustenance. If The SAA takes Aleppo the rebellion is kipper ed. It's then just a matter of time as other resources would be freed up to take other areas.

Hilary is still 6 months away and assad can create facts on the ground during that time. Erdogan has put the military in disarray and is trying to make up with Russia.

Its a huge city so gaps to slip in and out will be numerous and lets not forget how quickly the frontlines have moved recently as well as the tunnels
The iranians (did u actualy say saa ? Is it 2012?) Dont have the manpower to take aleppo ,besiege it with russias airpower yes but take? Not likely or at least not for some time

Hilary and edrogan getting shit done are a long way away..but are there looming in the future.

You can't supply a city the size of Aleppo with tunnels. Wars are as much about morale as anything else, and the rebels are in disarray. Their supporters in the west are diminishing with each terrorist attack.

Let's not forget that the rebels aren't really winning anywhere right now. Even the pockets in Damascus are being whittled down in a big way. They are losing their farmland and if they lose soon then tens of thousands of troops will be freed up.

Iraq is pounding ISIS left right and centre. I wonder where those battle hardened milita will head next.

There are tons of Syrians on the frontlines in Aleppo. IRGC only have a strong presence in the southern part where rebels bled themselves dry retaking strategically useless villages they lost a few months before.

Hillary and Erdogan can't do shit, it's too late for that. They can scale up their arms support but with Russians in the sky it's going to be useless. There hasn't been talk about an no-fly zone in years because nobody is going to risk WW3 over Syria.

 

[Fronk]

Three corridors for civilians and one for fighters to leave eastern Aleppo. Tons of leaflets urging people to lay down arms that's included in a nation wide amnesty for fighters. They are even airdropping food into rebel held areas.
Hopefully civilians are allowed to leave and not be used like human shields like ISIS did in Manbij.

 

[Videer]

So Nusra went from Syrian AQ to Syrian Taliban.

Wonder what all the chechens, uighurs, gulf arabs and other assorted jihadis in JN has to say about it. Guess trans-national jihad wasnt on the books afterall.

Some fitna maybe?
