Russian Forces Expand Their Patrols In Northern Aleppo

It may not be clear to you, but it’s clear to Assad, and it’s clear to me too, Putin’s been helping Erdogan and hindering the SAA, he’s also been trying to give Erdogan and his cronies a huge say in Syria’s political future too. Assad’s been pissing on the Russian resolution for 4 years now but accepts the new better UN deal immediately, and also tells you the reasons he accepted it and the reasons he didn’t accept the old Russian one, and all you say is blablabla, LOL, even when someone like Assad tells you the truth you refuse to accept it. I’ve been saying it since June last year on SF comments, and I got called a liar and a troll for my observations, and I can nearly understand that, but now that Assad’s actually saying it too, people are also refusing to believe him as well, you wouldn’t recognize the truth if it fell on you buddy, propaganda is all you seem capable of understanding.

blablabla however much you write it still doesn’t capture the essence of what is happening in syria, it still doesn’t get to the inner layer of developments and you’re still stuck in the details rather than the long term intentions of the parties involved. you gotta work hard to get the picture, but as I said before – ever tried, ever failed – try again. fail again and fail better – and you’re on the way to an enlightenment which might just end the myopia you obviously suffer from!!

Russia and Iran’s long term intention towards Syria are the only things that concern me.

“I guess Russia is looking to clear the entire area (Idlib and or syria) of intruding forces and that is something that doesn’t happen by itself”.

But Putin’s ceasefire just stopped the SAA from doing what you say the Russians want to do – “clear the entire area (Idlib and or syria) of intruding forces” -, you do realize the SAA can’t do that with a ceasefire in place, they can only come to a political resolution.

Have you ever read resolution 2254, it lays out the long term intentions of Russia, Iran and Turkey, they’ve already enlightened me and everyone else who bothered to read what they said, and they’ve also been saying it at every Astana meeting since June last year too [that’s if you bother to read them], so we all know what the long term intentions of those 3 parties are concerning Syria, but we never get to hear what Assad’s long term intentions are, because they won’t even let him have a representative at those Astana meetings, you know the ones where the Russian’s, Iranians and the Turks get to decide Syria’s future with no input from Assad. I think it’s you that needs to be enlightened to what Russia, Iran, and Turkey’s long term intentions for Syria are, just google search resolution 2254 2015, that explains their long term intentions better than I can, and when you finish that you can search for the last 3 Astana agreements, see what they also have to say about Russia, Iran, and Turkey’s long term intentions for Syria and Assad. Resolution 2254 is the most enlightening article that exists about Syria, and if you haven’t read the old unamended version, you can’t possibly understand anything about Russia, Iran, and Turkey’s long term intentions for Syria. But Assad read it very carefully, and he understood what Russia, Iran, and Turkey’s long term intentions for Syria were, and he didn’t like them one little bit, and that’s why he switched to a new better deal from the UN. This is what the Syrian government says about the reason they switched,

Do you understand what the Syrian government is saying here, they’re saying they’ve done everything they can to comply to resolution 2254 and the Asatana agreements, but the Turks don’t, they just do whatever they feel like doing, and the Russian and Iranians don’t do a thing about it, so he’s jumped ship and hopped on a better boat now.

“The Syrian government has engaged in the political initiatives aimed at solving the situation in Idlib, giving them more than enough time to be implemented. We have welcomed the memorandum creating the de-escalation zones and the Sochi Agreement on Idlib, hoping that such steps would complement efforts to eliminate Al-Nusra Front and ISIL remnants and other terrorist groups operating in Idlib, with the lowest possible loss of civilian lives. We have also announced more than once the suspension of military operations. Meanwhile, in the interim, the Turkish Regime has failed to fulfill its commitments under these agreements. Instead, it has provided terrorists with all forms of support, including weapons that are more sophisticated. Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front has taken control of 90% of Idlib, and the Turkish observation points established inside Syria have been used to support these terrorists and block the advances of the Syrian army in its war against them”.

I’m myopic am I, at least I’m well read and in good company, because Assad must be myopic as well, he didn’t think the Russian and Iranians were going to help him get rid of the Turks and their murderous henchmen, that’s why he’s refuse their deal and accepted the new better UN deal, or do you have another enlightened reason as to why he would have done that.

There’s a link in this article to the actual document itself if you want to read it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_2254

But Assad has refused to abide by this resolution for 4 years despite the fact the Iranians and Russians are both his allies, but about 3 weeks ago the UN sent an envoy to see Assad and asked him if he would like to make a new deal with them, and he accepted. Now the UN are in the process of amending [changing some details] the old Russian/Iranian/Turkish resolution too better suit Assad. https://dppa.un.org/en/security-council-briefing-situation-syria-special-envoy-geir-o-pedersen

Here’s one article from SANA concerning the changes but there’s are a lot more to read. https://sana.sy/en/?p=174485

This part of the article is especially revealing, it refers to the old resolution and the Astana process being used to accommodate Turkish interests, despite the fact the Syrians were keeping their side of the bargain.

“The Syrian government has engaged in the political initiatives aimed at solving the situation in Idlib, giving them more than enough time to be implemented. We have welcomed the memorandum creating the de-escalation zones and the Sochi Agreement on Idlib, hoping that such steps would complement efforts to eliminate Al-Nusra Front and ISIL remnants and other terrorist groups operating in Idlib, with the lowest possible loss of civilian lives.

Now the UN are in the process of amending [changing some details] the old Russian/Iranian/Turkish resolution too better suit Assad.

So, what’s wrong with that?

Sadly for Assad neither the old or the new resolution are good at all, in fact they’re both bad for Syrian and especially Assad himself, he’s just choosing the least damaging of the two which is the new UN amended version. You should read what the whole resolution entails for Syria, the new amendments only make it about 5% better now so it’s no real improvement at all, but at least according to the new amendment to be included, the Turks won’t get any say whatsoever in the makeup of the new constitutional committee, which is the main reason I think Assad’s decided to accept the new deal.
