the zio ameritards coalition is being eliminated surely by the syrian coalition superheroes – no escape for zio losers, masters and slaves aka perm hell dwellers

Funny how IS is sandwiched between SAA and SDF, yet can still committ enough force for a counterattack sufficient to briefly seize villages?

Clearly they don’t fear being hit in the back by the SDF while advancing against SAA….. I wonder why that might be???

Obvious isn’t it? Previously ISIS became SDF to secure oil fields , claiming all these were killed . They then need to create presence of ISIS again so changed uniforms and ta ta , ISIS is there again. So US has justification to stay on.

Then they claimed only coalition forces effective and so far killed 45000 terrorists

They think the world are all kids

Funny how the Palestinian militia seems to be singled out for special ISIS attention too
