– Due to my profession, I do take the spread of false, misleading information via websites posing to be news outlets and social media seriously indeed.

It is not the only thing I care about in regard to the situation in Syria. If you look through my posts on the topic, I’ve never varied from one theme- Regardless of the politics, the losers in this have been the civilian population in Syria. I don’t believe that any of the nations involved (US, France, Russia, Gulf States, etc) have acted in the best interests of the people of Syria. As to who is better at “bombing the crap out of ISIS”. It doesn’t matter, as eventually the people who live in there: Iraqi, Kurds, Turks, various ethnicities in Syria will have to coordinate in order to completely defeat ISIS. Don’t see that happening any time soon, do you?

I am not one of those who says that the US created ISIS intentionally and is in full control of it. I am saying that in SYRIA , they are clearly turning a blind eye to ISIS and steering them onto the SAA because they have the same goals. Regime change in Syria.

The whole ceasefire ended on the fact that the US WOULD NOT separate its official proxy fighters from NUSRA.

Well “the Duran” is a reliable source…… wait no it isnt. It makes every list of “questionable” news sites.

Anyway KGB, none of those conspiracy theories make any sense when you think logically about the situation. ISIS does not respect/recognize borders. On the face of it, why would the US (or anyone) be fighting ISIS in one nation and be allowing safe passage into another. ISIS forces pour back and forth based on the pressure they are facing. Russia/Syria were focused on Aleppo. The Iraqi/western forces are engaged with ISIS in northern Iraq and Kurdish forces are pushing them west.

The ISIS forces remaining are concentrating where there is the least pressure on them, that is all.

Believe that if you want. I am not going to bother chasing down all the relevant evidence just to be met with cheap non sequiturs and filibusters.

I am just reporting what the Russian military said.

But you think that the Rus military woke up this morning and decided to start telling lies.

oh look! Russian and Turkey are jointly bombing IS (and not each other as confidently predicted by some earlier in the year):

It’s BBC but quotes Russian Defence Ministry so should be verifiable if you require.

Next it will be Russia and the US coordinating strikes….

Its certainly a possibility. But there is a war within the deep state. They are trying to compromise Trump in order to compromise US/Russia detante. And some believe that its a moral duty to prevent detante because they think Putin is Hitler. So I will beleive it whjen i see it

Libyan Army Commander Signs $2 Billion Arms Deal With Russia Despite UN Sanctions

The Eastern Libyan commanders of Operation Dignity forces, Khalifa Haftar has signed a $2 billion arms deal with Russian government despite sanctions from the United Nations.

Al-Ghoul told Al-Arab on Monday that the visit of Haftar to the Russian aircraft carrier off Tobruk port saw the two parties signing a deal that would allow Haftar to reactivate the contracts of the former Libyan army of Muamar Gaddafi with Russia, Libya Express reported Monday.

“Abdullah Al-Thinni-led government of the HoR has tried many times to reactivate the contracts with Russia, it is the right of the Libyan army to have them back from Russia.” He added.

No you are right. It was a terrible fighter.. in fact operate it as a frontline fighter was plain stupid. Its clear as crystal that Mig-25 was a Interceptor, not a fighter.

The MiG-25P and MiG-25PD Foxbat are the fastest fighter aircraft in the world with a maximum speed limited to Mach 2.83. It recorded the first air-to-air kill during the Gulf War when an Iraqi Foxbat downed a Boeing F-18 Hornet on January 17, 1991. Of particular note is that during the Gulf War, one Iraqi Foxbat-E eluded not only eight sweeping F-15s but also tangled with two General Dynamics EF-111A Aardvark.
