Sources from the Civil Council of Raqqa City  (CCRC) claimed that the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) intends to attack Raqqa city signaling that only the US prevents this. According to the sources, US Army General Robert Jones, a commander in the US-led coalition, told the CCRC that the US has imposed some limits on the SAA.

“We placed a limit to the regime and told the regime about those limits and the need to abide by it, and the regime is committed to it so far,” Jones allegedly said.

Several SAA sources denied the intention of the SAA to attack Raqqa city. The current SAA goal is to lift the ISIS siege from the city of Deir Ezzor. Most likely, the CCRC statement is just a part of the ongoing US-led media-campaign against the SAA.

They can’t be that stupid, surely. Even with them finally realising that ISIS have barely any manpower, creating another enemy, fighting wedged between two fronts, is moronic. Ask Germany how well that works out. The SDF have tens of thousands of troops, why make an enemy of them?? Now the SAA have made many dumb decisions in the past absolutely, but this has to be just a rumour, come on now.

SDF is CIA’s last hope.

I swear after mosul you would think there would be a better strategy against vbied. Maybe like have a tube of explosives across roads n suchAnd dann where is the anti drone tech? I’m not proud of the planing for the operation in mosul and raqqa

Jonathan Cohen

Once surrounded, SDF should let Raqqa starve a while and send troops to go bring abortion rights to the oil fields east of dier ezzor, also relieving SAA there.

The city of Raqqa is surrounded by the SDF, and many bridges along the Euphrates river are most likely destroyed, so the SDF is spouting nonsense meant to bring more US and NATO to fight Syrian-Iranian-Russian aggression…in Syria.

There’s an old Dutch saying: Whose bread you eat, whose words you speak. Since the SDF is utterly dependent on the US need we say more…..?
