Get it on, eliminate all scum in idliba now please.
The Turks are terribly unhappy with the new UN amended version of their old resolution but the Syrians are at least bearably happy with the developments, Syria scores 2, Erdogan scores 1. The Turks are mortally wounded that the US won’t allow them to set up a refugee relocation zone [safe zone] in northern Syria, Syria scores 1, the US scores 2, Erdogan scores 0. The ALF are still attacking Erdogan’s so called moderate opposition in Aleppo and scaring the hell out of displaced people Erdogan’s been trying to relocate into the areas, ALF scores 2, Syria scores 1, Erdogan 0. The Turkish opposition parties have already sent envoys to negotiate with Assad concerning future political developments between the 2 countries, Turkey scores 2, Syria scores 1, and Erdogan 0 again. Whenever I add up the new numbers now Assad always comes out on top and Erdogan always ends up on the bottom, but just a few weeks ago I had Assad on the bottom and Erdogan on top, funny how things can change so much in just a couple of weeks.
Decent US/Kurdish victory in Syria. 40% under SDF control and ALL OIL FIELDS under US/SDF control. Take that, antisemites. Pretty soon the US Army will topple the butcher regime and liberate Damascus!
Well like I said before, the Moscow to Beirut highway is fully open and convoys of trucks are passing by the hour.
Syria’s new border crossing gives Russia land route to Mediterranean
BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:00 P.M.) – With all eyes on Iran’s presence at the Albukamal crossing in eastern Syria, one could forget about the Russian military’s deployment to the area along the Iraqi border.
The military expert and former high-ranking officer in the Syrian Arab Army, Major General Mohammad Abbas, revealed in an interview who benefits from the reopening of the Albukamal Crossing and why the U.S. opposes this.

“The United States seeks to achieve its strategic goals of making Russia a landlocked country and not allowing it to cross the Black Sea, the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, and to prevent it from warm water,” Abbas said during a telephone interview.
In particular, the former army commander said that Russia will now have a land route that stretches from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean region; this will allow Russia to maintain its influence over a great deal of territory and support its allies directly via land access through Armenia and Iran.
