Haha RH. You are very delusional to think Russia is running the show. They have the Syrian regime on their side and are in control of 25% of Syria.
Robin Hood wrote:That could well be true but it is a lot more than the Syrian Govt. and the SAA had until Russia stepped in with support. Nice to see Vlad is having a noticeable effect on events.
Not really. But let's say it's marginally better, the SDF is still maintaining its strongholds, and we won't let them lose these.
The rest is in our hands and the Russians have made no progress so far as our allies have held their ground.
Robin Hood wrote:If ‘......in our hands’ refers to moderate Islamic Terrorists, you would be correct but of course thanks to the SAA actions supported by Russian air force, their percentage is dropping by the day as they flee Syrian Govt forces. If ‘....in our hands’ is a reference to US/Coalition forces ......... that would be an illegal act of war I believe .... so somehow I doubt they are having much inpact apart from air support (with Russian agreement)to the Islamic Terrorist and FSA mutineers.
Are you really sure about that. Our information is that they have just taken more territory and to rub salt into wounds, they are strategic towns.
And yes I am refering to the SDF who are fighting against the terrorist forces of Assad and Hezbollah.
In fact, Pootin knows that he has little chance to change the Status Quo unless he inserts his own troops.
Robin Hood wrote:According to your usual sources (MSM) he is about to send 150,000 conscripts to wipe the Islamic Terrorists out .... although I have seen no such information coming from thePutin/Lavrov camp! Maybe the Express borrowed your Crystal Ball?
I don't know what your talking about but I am positive the 150,000 conscripts can do no such thing against a battle hardened and disciplined force that has been fighting for years against Syrian Regulars let alone conscripts. Just be prepared for a big body count.
You got a stalemate. They are not at the table and wouldn't be at the table if they believed they can crush the opposition.
Robin Hood wrote:Nobody is at the table because ‘you’ decided you would not discuss anything until Assad went, your Sharia Caliphate were in power (no doubt in another US carefully orchestrate election ... like Ukraine?) and Russia and the SAA stopped attacking you. I still think Putins proposal of letting the Syrians decide is the best course.
There you go RH. Our delegates are there, but yes you are right! They won't play ball until transition is on the agenda.
The SDF is not desperate to throw away everything they have battled for the last few years.
And no, the SDF is a Coalition of Militias, including Kurdish Groups. There are no plans for a Caliphate. That is just manufactured propaganda from Pootin and Assad.
Boy are you in for some humble pie.
Robin Hood wrote:We shall see what we shall see!
yes.
Yes the Coalition is running the show and will have control of Raqqa within the next 2 months.
Robin Hood wrote:Raqqa is just one City and you have been pounding it for months ..... with no civilian casualties apparently (according to the SOHR)?
The third largest city in Iraq. Mosul is surrounded. In fact our forces are in its outskirts and have set up defensive position.
We are winning the fight RH, and all Pootin can do is post YouTubes!
Robin Hood wrote:You make all these bold swashbuckling claims but never post the sources that supports your rather blinkered and ever so slightly biased view of events in Syria. You sort out Iraq ..... you f*ked it up in the first place, created DAESH and have spent the last few years trying to undo the chaos that US interference created in the first place ..... and have achieved sod all! Let Putin sort out the Syrian problem!
What claims RH. The liberation of Ramadi or the Mosul offensive. These events are well documented. There is no need for me to waste any more time.
Yes we will sort out Iraq, and we will sort Syria out too. It's way too late for us to withdraw now. We are in it to the bitter end and I reckon it will be curtains for your guy Assad.
Bernie Sanders will get knocked off by Hillary.
Robin Hood wrote:Hillary ..... financially backed to the tune of billions of dollars by the Big Banks, Big Corporations, Military Industrial Complex, AIPAC and the 0.01%. Even then the result was too close to call and was won on the toss of a coin. Even she is admitting that New Hampshire will be even more difficult as she is already trailing in the polls.
I will leave the Banks to you RH, you seem to be the expert on banks.
I'm not even interested in the Democratic Nominations. I am watching the Republicans because it is they who will win office - Cruz, Jeb or Rubio are the horses I am backing.
Robin Hood wrote:Bernie .......... refused any big business financial support and has primarily relied upon individual donations from the American people .... well 3.5million of them who contributed on average just $27 each. He lagged way behind in the polls as virtually a ‘
no-hoper’ and he equalled the Hillary vote. New Hampshire ..... will see Clinton defeated .... resoundingly.
Well isn't Bernie an idiot? Obviously he is unfit for office because no one in their right mind will refuse free money.
Robin Hood wrote:The other crowd? I can’t say I really know much about them except for The Duck! But in my opinion, if either Clinton or The Duck end up in the White House WWIII will ramp up and a nuclear confrontation with Russia/China could well be the result. Both of these two are seriously in need of psychiatric treatment ................. only Bernie seems to appear to be sane!
I am quite happy to settle for Clinton or Jeb, Rubio, or Cruz.
And a major confrontation with Russia is exactly what is needed. We want troops in Syria to end this nonsense for good. Prepared to have that confrontation with Assad's terrorists and Hezbollah. No problem.
