The SAA has lost a major general in Deir Ezzor which is now split into two pockets.
Any truth to USAF conducting air strikes against isil in Deir ez zor in bid to support SAA?
They always did. ISIS exposes itself with its best units there so why not bomb them. Russian airforce also helps Turks from time to time.
@Vanoi: Which major general?

Issam Zahredinne has that rank and was only declared dead by some foreign fsa fanboys.
Fun fact: the air raid on Deir Ez Zor killed 80 men (and the same number wounded). That is the same as Loyalist forces killed in the ISIS attack. + UK used a drone in that attack. I thought drones were used for detailed operations. It is just unimaginable how the coalition did this by accident.

I heard that Eastern half of Mosul has been completely taken. More fierce fighting to come.
Yup.
And the army, surprisingly, has so far been professional and careful to ensure safety of civilian passage. So much so that even sectarian dimwits have nothing to talk about. For that, they deserve two thumbs up and a salute.
Hopefully they keep it up and stay vigil and disciplined even after combat operations are over.
Whats is your point?
I survived suruc and i realize the mistake i did by trusting this state and going to the border unprotected as an open enemy of isis.
Of course terror has to be condemned and i am not trying to justify it. I am an active sufferer of terrorism myself, but i understand why it happened.
No, you are supposed to adress why it happens and solve it. Dismissing the whole pkk due to some radicals doing a terror attack on civillians doesnt work.as for the attacks on security forces, that is up for a debate i d rather not go in. There is a war going on. The regime is targetted by an armed force. Thats just how the world works.
My reaction isnt so what. My reaction is "even if your claims are true, why would it matter" to which i continue with, "what do you offer?"
We can debate the model of rojava if you want seperately.
As for refugees, you not seeing report doesnt mean anything. Have you seen reports if tfsa killing locals in jarablus and people protesting tfsa? Have you seen reports where turkey have already killed more civillians in syria than ypg did in 5 years? I guess not.
Thats probably because you are only reading supporters of your own narrative.
I cant believe you are against kurdish nationalism and blame pyd for taking down a kurdistan flag.
The things turkish nationalists say to ignore the kurdish reality...
Did you also check what happens to dissenters in krg? Did you also see turkish backed barzani kill journalists,
Hijack the parliement and shoot at protestors? No....
Be honest about your real opinions setekh. I can see it from miles away.
I ask again.
What alternative you offer as a solution?
"Therefore I am not in favour of raising any dogmatic banner. On the contrary, we must try to help the dogmatists to clarify their propositions for themselves. Thus, communism, in particular, is a dogmatic abstraction; in which connection, however, I am not thinking of some imaginary and possible communism, but actually existing communism as taught by Cabet, Dézamy, Weitling, etc. This communism is itself only a special expression of the humanistic principle, an expression which is still infected by its antithesis – the private system. Hence the abolition of private property and communism are by no means identical, and it is not accidental but inevitable that communism has seen other socialist doctrines – such as those of Fourier, Proudhon, etc. – arising to confront it because it is itself only a special, one-sided realisation of the socialist principle."

The point is that your approach to terrorism is hypocritical. It's normal that some people are disgusted by it. "Dismissing PKK because some radicals do terror attacks on civilians"... What an amazing approach.
Sigh... Asking me why it would matter is asking me so what. It's an asinine position to debate over.
You're free to provide sources on it. I've been actively following this conflict for the past years just many others here. When I point at my observation of the absence of developments in that issue and how there are still millions of refugees in neighboring countries its a really bad response to simply give a knee jerk reaction like you did instead of informing us on this matter.
Am I against Kurdish nationalism (perhaps more than I'm against any other nationalism)? Or have I ever even commented on it? Does it matter what others do? Your opposition to my comments seem to be at an elementary school grade level juvenility. It's strange of you to see my "real" opinion from miles away, yet, you had to making stuff up about what I argue. Good luck with that.

Will you reply to what you want to see in this region and about your ideas regarding kurds if pyd is a bloody violent terror group?

Alrigt buddy ı am a hypocrite and am in the wrong.
Now in relation to your opposition to pyd, may ı ask what you offer as a solution and what part do kurds get in that?

I dont understand why people celebrate for the capture of Mosul. Bombings in Baghdad are daily occurance that shows that even if you capture these cities, rebels shift tactics
Since they lost that hill that was protected by the Soldiers, the US bombed last year, it was impossible to bring in supplies and manpower by plane. After that they have brought in at least to waves of reenforcements. One 3 months ago and one around christmas. They had to be brought by helicopters. Since IS has the cementary even helicopters can't fly in anymore. A major problem is further that the cementary was the dropping point for UN World Food programm which played a huge part in feeding the probably 100k people inside the city which are under siege since 3 years. All that is possible know is making air drops directly in to the airport. The russians have done that today. The problem is that the parts of the city where the most people are, can't be supplied anymore. The militarisation rate of the population in the city seems quite high though. There is a paticulary high number of NDF forces inside the city. The numbers are unknown though. I think the worst part for the SAA is that they have an Elite Airborn Division at the Airport which can't use all their capabilities anymore. We have to remember that those were sent to Quamshili a few times when the city was already under siege. Actually they have one of the most valuable units there. I don't think they will sacrifice them. If everything goes wrong, i guess they just mount all helicopters they have left and hope that some get to Quamshili or T4 Base.
