Syrian Army on Threshold of great Victory against Terrorists along Aleppo-Hama Highway
The Syrian Army troops' advances against ISIL South-East of Aleppo province have paved the ground for the pro-government forces' great military achievements along the road that connects Aleppo to Hama province, well-placed army sources said Wednesday.
=============================
The Desert Hawks Brigade has deployed large reinforcements in order to support the expected Syrian army advance against ISIS in the Eastern Hama countryside.
A video showing a Desert Hawks Brigade military convoy appeared online showing two Shilka vehicles, 3 modified BMP-1 vehicles, 3 new BMP-2 vehicles, a T-72B1 battle tank, three T-90A battle tanks, and three Gvozdika self-propelled guns. According to sources from the brigade, this convoy is just a part of the force that will participate in the operation.
Government forces are aiming to liberate the strategic ISIS town of Aqirbat as well as secure the road heading to the Palmyra.

The Syrian war's worst kept secret that could become Israel's nightmare
Yes, Israel is supporting Syrian rebels, but this goes beyond cash and aid: Israel hopes the rebels will serve as a buffer against Hezbollah and a resurgent Assad, a strategy that could easily backfire

Turkish Armed Forces enter Syria’s Idlib
The Turkish Armed Forces entered the Syrian city of Idlib, the Turkish media outlets reported June 28.
According to the reports, a military base will be created in the city. It was also reported that the Turkish Armed Forces together with the Russian Armed Forces will ensure security in the Syrian city.
Earlier, the Turkish president’s Spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin said that Turkish and Russian personnel will be deployed in Syria’s northern Idlib region as part of a de-escalation agreement brokered by Russia last month.

YEAH, PROLONG ALL THESE WARS FOR ISRAEL SO THAT THE SUPER POWERS MILITARY COMPLEX CAN ALL PROFIT FROM ARMS SALES, HAVING OF COURSE USED THESE ARAB COUNTRIES AS THEIR TESTING GROUNDS, THEIR LIVE LABRATS so to speak. WAR MEANS MONEY and Profits at the expense of DEAD PEOPLE which these Super powers don’t give a damn about as long they get their military contracts and orders. Lucrative, good for business to keep these wars going. Reap profits from the Arms Sales, reap benefits from the booty- Theft of a Country, its Resources and of course the biggest prize- the Holocaust, the Murder, Ethnic Cleansing of its INDIGENOUS PEOPLE and here, the Destruction of Arab History
And keep in mind that Russia and Israel closely work together and exchange Technologies
Demand for Russian Warships Skyrockets Amid Syria Campaign
International demand for Russian warships has been picking up since the start of Russia’s military operation in Syria, President Putin’s adviser on military-technical cooperation with foreign countries, Vladimir Kozhin, told reporters on Monday.
“Everyone sees the great job our ships are doing there. Our ships are in high demand, especially frigates and corvettes,” Kozhin said, when asked how the impact Russia’s operation in Syria has had on the export of Russian naval ships.
“We have also seen an uptick in foreign demand for our high-speed boats, coastal defense systems and small boats equipped with drones,” Vladimir Kozhin added.
"The Russian Navy's Admiral Essen, Admiral Grigorovich frigates and Krasnodar submarine launched six Kalibr cruise missiles from the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea on Daesh terrorist group targets in Syria," the ministry said in a statement.
The statement noted that the Krasnodat submarine carried out a submerged launch of the missiles.
============================
A top U.S. missile and chemical weapons expert has documented for months that the Syrian government did not carry out a chemical weapons attack against civilians, and that contrary claims by the Trump White House, French intelligence services, the New York Times, CNN and other “mainstream” sources are wrong … and worthless propaganda.
Former top military and intelligence officials – including many who warned against the faulty Iraq intelligence in advance of the Iraq war – have long said that the claims that Assad carried out the chemical weapons attacks was bunkum.
Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh – who broke the stories of the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam and the Iraq prison torture scandals, which rightfully disgraced the Nixon and Bush administrations’ war-fighting tactics – reported yesterday in the large German publication Weld that U.S. military officials tried to tell Trump that a chemical weapons attack never occurred at all:
=============================
This weekend, Hersh reported that the alleged chemical attack in Idlib, Syria, this March was not perpetrated by the Syrian military, as the Trump administration has claimed. Relying on a high-level adviser to the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency as his source, Hersh punched holes in the official narrative of the chemical attack, reporting that the Syrian bombing had actually targeted a high-level jihadi meeting with conventional munitions and warned the U.S. government of the strike beforehand, using a deconfliction channel. The strike hit a facility that may have contained chemicals such as chlorine and fertilizer that would have produced a cloud as well as neurological symptoms in victims that could be mistaken for sarin.

U.S. Invents Chem Weapons Threat And Claims It Defeats Threat By Warning Syria, Iran and Russia
By Brandon Turbeville
In a bizarre moment of geopolitical theatre, the United States announced that Syria was planning “another” chemical weapons attack and the Syrian military would “pay a heavy price for doing so.” Apparently, U.S. military intelligence graduated from using facts to outright prophecy. Or, rather, should we say it graduated from facts and lies to outright absurdity?...

‘US info campaign against Syria is intervention warning sign’ – Russian Foreign Ministry
The US information campaign on Syria is a warning sign that an American-led intervention may be in the works, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"The campaign, which was started by the US and is being backed by London and Paris, on the alleged chemical attack that is claimed to be prepared by Damascus, is not original, it's a textbook script, which has already been used in several countries in the region," Zakharova said.

Ron Paul: Trump is Just Like CNN, Putting Out His Own False News to Start War in Syria
In a peculiar move, the White House announced Monday evening a chemical weapons attack in Syria will be carried out soon by the regime of Bashar al-Assad against civilians — the second government-launched attack on his own people in the past few months — and that the U.S. would pulverize Syrian forces as retribution.
If, that is, gargantuan holes in logic suit your fancy — because nearly every facet of the above ‘facts’ touted by the corporate press and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer depart so far from the truth as to be farcically unrecognizable.

The Kurds are part and parcel 0of ISIS/DAESH. They have been working with them, not against them.

US-Backed Syrian Fighters Warn of Open Warfare with Turkish Forces
An official with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the coalition of US-backed militants with the stated goal of creating a secular, democratic, federalized Syria, said that the SDF sees a "big possibility of open, fierce confrontation" with Turkish forces in northwestern Syria. This comes after the two sides exchanged fire on Wednesday.
The senior official, Naser Haj Mansour, told Reuters that the SDF would confront the Turks "if they try to go beyond the known lines." Turkish forces are there to support anti-government, primarily Islamist Syrian rebels.
Mansour went on to say that a Turkish attack against SDF-controlled areas would do "great harm" to the SDF's efforts against Daesh. The two factions are currently embroiled in a struggle over the city of Raqqa, Daesh's primary stronghold in Syria.

Mattis: Syria Fight Will Only Get More Complicated After Raqqa Is Captured
While US officials have for months been presenting the invasion of Raqqa as the end-all, be-all battle against ISIS, they’ve also been preparing the public for the idea of attacking the “next ISIS capital,” and so on. Secretary of Defense James Mattis was even more direct, predicting that the situation would be even more complex after the fall of Raqqa.
“You have to play this thing very carefully,” Mattis insisted, saying it would become harder and harder to keep the various factions fighting against ISIS from getting into “incidents” against one another, while talking of continued support for the Kurdish YPG.
The “incidents” in question have mostly been US warplanes attacking Shi’ite militias, and shooting down the occasional warplane or drone aligned with the Syrian government. Though the US has claimed they “welcome” Syrian offensives against ISIS, they’ve continued to attack them every time they get close.
[[Webmaster's Commentary:
Sec Def Mattis, a word, please: Russia's Sergei Ryabkovhas warned that any further US incursion military into the sovereign nation of Syria will have ...consequences.
Russia warns US its fighter jets are now potential target in Syria
[[I would like to politely point out that Russia has been invited by the Syrian government and military to get rid of the jihadists; military from the Unhinged, Surveilled State of America have not been invited to do so.
What the US government has done here, no matter the cloddishly clumsy spin about "fighting ISIS", has been to invade a sovereign country on a horrifically flimsy pretext, in order to attempt regime change in Damascus.
And yesterday, the US Ambassador to the UN made the following, breath taking statement at the UN:

US envoy Nikki Haley: No place for Assad in post-ISIS Syria
what can that statement possibly mean except as a neon-orange, brightly blinking light, telegraphing that the US government is planning to create regime change in Damascus, coming close on the heels of ousting ISIS in Raqqa?!?
IS a war with Russia over Syria really worth it, in the larger scheme of things?!?

I AM REALLY SICK TO DEATH OF ARABS BEING SLAUGHTERED IN THEIR HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS, JUST because USSRAEL HAVE A BEEF WITH IRAN!! DESTROY THE ARABS to GET TO IRAN!! KILL ARABS to have a war with Iran!
How come without ANY HESITATION, ISRAEL, AMERICA and UK BOMB THE ARAB COUNTRIES to hell and back destroy them, and yet just verbally attack Iran with the occasional Mossad Sayanem terror attacks within Iran. I don’t see Iran exposing Israel and its Operation Talpiot/Technion or condemning the Jewish practises of this odious and evil entity which they prefer to address just as ‘Zionism’ when it is also Talmudism at play. Guess they don’t want to upset their Iranian Jewish Community , some of whom serve in the Iranian parliament.
Syria: U.S. Buildup All About Iran

So what’s with the continued U.S. presence in al-Tanaf, an area where there is no ISIS presence and where the Syrian army and its allies have been making huge progress against their militant Islamist opponents?
Since regime-change plans fell flat in Syria, Beltway hawks have been advocating for the partitioning of Syria into at least three zones of influence – a buffer zone for Israel and Jordan in the south, a pro-U.S. Kurdish entity along the north and north-east, and control over the Syrian-Iraqi border.

Macron's Donbass peace plan and Assad no longer the 'bad guy'
Western capitals are reshaping their agenda on Syria. Recent statements by prominent politicians and top brass show that Syrian President Bashar Assad is currently off the radar as the main villain, Nezavisimaya Gazeta writes. Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for the US-led coalition, said Washington has nothing against Damascus, if it puts up an efficient and coordinated fight against the Islamic State (terror group, outlawed in Russia).
