no Assad isn't supported by most Syrians. there are 4 million refugees who certainly don't support him.

there are 10 million Sunnis that do not support him.

Are you just making things up as you go along ?
Most Syrians support Assad, FACT.
The fact remains: The moderate Syrian opposition only exists in fancy suits in Western hotel lobbies. It has little military backing on the ground. If you want to ask why Assad is still the president of Syria, the answer is not simply Russia or Iran, but the fact that his army remains resilient and pluralistic, representing a Syria in which religion alone does not determine who rises to the top. The military also represent as challenge against the spread of terrorism, which is why three of the top British generals of the last five years have openly called for the recognition that the Syrian Arab Army, loyal to President Assad, is the only force capable of defeating ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Levant.

No it's not a fact.

Syria is divided on sectarian Lines and the Sunnis do not support Hezbollah backed Assad.

The Syrian opposition which of course includes the Kurds, is backed by the Coalition. we are in actual fact in a very strong position on the ground with our YPG and Peshmerga continuously taking territory from DAESH.

Territory, Assad will never see be a part of Syria ever again! FACT!

These are the facts.

How extraordinary, I glanced through my diary and took some notes relating to certain events which took place on 20/9/2016 and came across an interesting series of comments made by an associate of mine, one 'Kamal Alam' (Syrian military analyst) and am quite astounded to note that HIS observations are replicated 'Word for word' by your good self.

I am compelled to ask whether it was YOU that advised HIM to publish these comments OR, are you also an associate of the good chap and, through such close association, have gained HIS permission to publish HIS opinions under the pretense that they are your own ?.

If the latter be true, then you must be aware that 'Kamal' is an adviser to the 'British Military Forces' and is 'Privy' to 'Classified Information' and I feel it my duty to caution you that you are sailing close to the wind if you rely upon HIM to supply you with information, you could fall into the trap of revealing something that should NOT be available in the 'Public Domain'.

I am obliged to inform 'Kemal' of this possible error in judgement as a precautionary measure, I would not wish to see You in breach of any confidentiality which may exist twixt You and He and, in closing, how very extraordinary that YOU and I could well be 'Soul-mates' in that we have a common and rather significant associate, perhaps we should all meet up for a chat. :lol:

Thank you for the tip and for exposing milti.

I just googled milti's post and it turns out it was copied and plagiarized from a very dubious propoganda site.

'Par for the course' old chap,'Par for the course' :lol: The ONLY comments emanating from our 'Learned chap' are those which emerge interlaced with 'Insult', 'Filth and Foul Language'.

I qualify such statement advisedly since He has persistently besmirched My person on countless occasions, so much so that I have actually subscribed to His nonsense by almost advocating that His assessments are correct :lol: I am sure that nobody with a modicum of sense takes Him seriously BUT, there are always exceptions.

I assure you.I am NOT quite the 'Ogre' I have presented myself (due to His rantings) and would hope that others have the intelligence to realize that such is the case........it's all 'Good Fun' when one has a little 'Leisure Time' on their hands......don't You agree ?. :lol:

Well I started taking you seriously when you indicated that you are concerned about the suffering of Syrians inside Aleppo and when you acknowledged war crimes.

I value consistency and sincerity always not the propaganda muppets. It doesn't matter that we disagree on a few fundamentals. The key here to humanity is that we must condemn war crimes at all times.


War crimes committed by any country are a deplorable thing.

Naturally I am concerned and sympathetic with the sufferings of those innocents (be they whosoever) that are in the predicament they are forced into in Aleppo, where would you find ANY decent human being that would NOT share such sentiments ?.

The 'Gulf' which exists twixt you and I (a wide one) is where we place responsibility for all the conflicts in and around the ME, not exclusively 'Syria' and certainly not attributed to 'Russia'.

The constant references to 'War Crimes' are not helpful, it is difficult to determine which of the two major forces (or many) have committed more BUT, in MY estimation, I would suggest that the greater number of the 'Sum Total' of them ALL (in recent years) must have been committed by the forces of the 'West' (and I keep reference to 'Iraq' as a starting point) not those of either 'Russia' or 'Syria'.

There is NOW much evidence to support the contention that 'America' is the 'Beast' that made the first offensive move and I am in agreement with THAT conclusion.

The 'Iraq' fiasco cannot (and must not) be swept under the carpet, we live with the outcome and millions suffer on account of it. :wink:

I always provide a link when bringing to attention views. On this occasion I failed to do so, neither did I state that those were my words.
Paphitis is obsessed with Putin, and also considers himself to somehow be the one that pulls the strings in Syria.
The fact of the matter, Assad, like his father before him, dictators they may well be, but held Syria together for many years until the west got involved, the west has fucked up badly and time will show the naivety and stupidity of their actions.

The suffering and killings continue and will continue until the west realizes how dreadfully wrong their involvement in Syria has been.

Assad and only Assad can return Syria to peace.

Paphitis, do us all a favour mate, stop referring to the coalition as YOU or WE, OR OUR.
You have as much influence in the Syrian conflict as I or anyone else on this forum has. So lets get it straight. They are NOT your troops, you do NOT dictate policy or make demands.

Yesterday at 'Westminster Abbey' I attended the 'Memorial Service' for 'Terry Wogan' (leave out the 'Sir' because HE wasn't really bothered about such stuff) and there were many people there who came to know him well and some who really loved Him.

Among the throng of those who came to pay their respects and celebrate His life were several 'Journalists' and among them, 'Ewen MacAskill' (correspondent for 'The Guardian Newspaper') a Scottish chap that I have known for several years.

Nothing extraordinary about such a small event except for the co-incidence that just occurred within THIS thread when I read something that I remember reading before.

On or about the 30th November 2015 (according to my diary) 'Ewen' wrote an article which was quite informative about events taking place in 'Syria'.

There ARE reasons for why this article was of interest to Me BUT, what prompts a mention is the fact that 'Ewen's Article' appears to have been presented by a member of THIS forum and I suspect that the intention is to fool other members into believing that it is His own work. !! :shock:

A disgraceful exhibition of 'Plagiarism' if ever there was one, however, the 'Plagiarist' slipped up at the end of the contribution by ending the article with an offensive expression and THAT was the clincher for Me, how could one produce such an 'In Depth' informative account of such enormous consequences to the civilized world and end it with His customary injection of 'Filth'. (tut tut, it's just not on) :roll:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Looks like you had a previous 'Lapse of Memory' (a couple of weeks ago) when you plagiarized 'Ewen MacAskill' :lol:

You are like a 'Gopher' poking His head out of His hole and looking around to see if it's safe to come out of hiding before you have another rant about something you know nothing about :lol: I wonder you have the nerve to 'Pop Out' so soon after your exposure. :roll:
