The US-led coalition and US-backed forces are on full alert over the collapse of ISIS in the Syrian province of Aleppo and the success of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) against the terrorist group at the Iraqi border with Syria.
The Kurdish Security Police of the Asayish held a meeting on Monday in Qamishli city to discuss the formation of a defence system ‘to confront the Iranian project’ that is allegedly supported by by the Syrian government. In other words, the Asayish is concerned that a part of the Syrian-Iraqi border was liberated from ISIS by the PMU.
The Asayish is a 15,000-strong force controlled by the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD). At the same time, the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) that are the core of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are military wings of the PYD. Thus, the Asayish statement could be considered as an official position of the PYD and the SDF.
Furthermore, the Asayish was involved in heavy clashes against the National Defense Forces and the Syrian Army in the city of Hasakah in August 2016. The Asayish was supported by the YPG and the US-led coalition.
The US-backed force has also increased its activity on the southern bank of Euphrates capturing the villages al-Mushayrifah, Bir Akhu Hadlah, Bir al-David and Bir Hajj al-Mufazi near Tabqah as well as the Baath Dam and the villages of Hawra, al-Barouda and al-Matiyura south of it. According to some experts, the SDF is aiming to reach the Resafa Crossroads in order to cut off the Salamiyah-Raqqah highway that links up the SAA-held city of Salamiyah with Raqqah, and to expand its presence near the N4 Highway in order to prevent the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces from reaching the province of Raqqah.
The SDF advance followed a collapse of the ISIS defenses in the countryside of Maskanah and a failure of US-backed militant groups to counter government forces in southeastern Syria along the borders with Jordan and Iraq.
Thus, the US-led coalition may even decide to develop the SDF advance in the direction of Deir Ezzor in order to capture Deir Ezzor oil and gas fields on pretext of the battle against ISIS. However, this will be possible only if ISIS units deployed in Raqqah continue keep a defense attitude and avoid counter-attacking advancing SDF units.
“The days of Daesh in Syria are numbered, Alexey Muravyev, an expert in Middle Eastern affairs told Radio Sputnik, adding that the terrorists have now only two options at their disposal.
Daesh fighters have now only two choices: either to flee to the Arabian Peninsula or pretend to be a “moderate” opposition and join the rebels, Alexey Muravyev, an expert in Middle Eastern affairs at the National Research University Higher School of Economics told Radio Sputnik, adding that the terrorists’ days in Syria are numbered.
“[Terrorists] will either go somewhere in the direction of Arabia or… join other armed groups and impersonate ‘moderate opposition’,” Muravyev said.”

interesting extract re the convoy attack few days ago
“But, even more impressive, was the Russian Air Force’s stunning annihilation of a huge convoy of ISIS rats leaving Al-Raqqa in order to further a plan drawn up by the United States to open highway access from Al-Raqqa to Palmyra. The plan was not to destroy more Roman ruins at the ancient city. No, all of this was a part of the project to install a vassal state that would be controlled by Kurd allies of the U.S. in order to prevent the extension of the natural gas pipeline from Iran to Syria.
The ISIS force departed Al-Raqqa on May 25, 2017 at approximately 3:00 a.m. local time. Russia had received a heads-up from SAA-MI about both human intelligence reports and intercepted communications between American, British and Jordanian terrorist enablers in the MOK HQ near Al-Naseeb. According to my sources, the U.S. promised to keep the SAAF at bay as the large ISIS force moved south toward Palmyra. An agreement was drawn up between the RuAF and the Syrian High Command to permit only Russian aircraft to fly since Syrian aircraft could be shot down by the Americans if they were interfering in some farfetched and typically idiotic plan hatched in Jordan. With the aircraft carrying Russian insignia, there was no conceivable way the U.S. could interdict Moscow’s airpower…..”

Great news. The rats deserved every single bullet.

This is really bad news.
Methinks the US needs to form a unit of ‘plausibly ISIS Merkins’ composed of anyone with a tan and brown eyes. These would be deployed where ISIS has collapsed.
Then, since the US is arming both sides, issue blanks. Have lots of video of the two sides fighting each other. Make sure to have more ‘bad guys’ than good guys fall down, on camera, and not get up until the filming stops.
Make sure to fire $B of live ammo into the desert. Kill as many rocks and as much sand as possible. I think the motto should be ‘We will pound their hills into rocks and their deserts into sand.”
Stage incidents where children are rescued by White Helmets.
Demonize Putin for creating the conflict.
Have I Ieft anything out?
Oh yes, hype the threat to Israel
Seriously, the West bled Russia in WWII. It looks more and more like Putin and Assad have learned this trick and are bleeding KSA, OUS (That’s the Oligarchy of the United States) and the few remaining takfiris through prolonged battles.
Noted with alarm that 4 of 4 Russian missiles destroyed their target, whereas 37 of 56 Merkin missiles failed to reach theirs, and the 26 that did made two potholes. Speaks volumes.
I seriously hope no US soldier is injured or killed, but if so, I hope each parent screams loudly that their son died for nothing.
“I seriously hope no US soldier is injured or killed, but if so, I hope each parent screams loudly that their son died for nothing.”
I had to grin over your post (I like sarcasm), but I don’t think you wanted to be sarcastic in your last sentence.
Actually I want to add a grim fact to that, maybe not too well known widely: More soldiers (or better said, veterans) die from suicide yielding from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) after their military services, than are killed in battle of the perpetuals wars of the US military forces. I have found an article on that to support it: http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/04/03/truth-and-healing-kathleen-rosenblatt-and-allen-roland-heal-vets-ptsd-push-for-911-truth/
Poor construction. Sarcasm was not intended at the end. Allow me to rephrase.
This is a grim situation. My concern is for American soldiers and I sincerely hope no US soldier is injured or killed, but if so, I hope each parent screams loudly that their son died for nothing.
Oh, the humanity!
The Anglo-Americans’ and Europeans’ beloved pro-democracy headchoppers and cannibals are about to meet their 72 virgins.
I bet that guy who runs the “Syrian” Observatory for Human Rights in chewing the rug in his Coventry flat.
Maybe he can binge watch that mockumentary on the White Helmets, which won an Academy Award, as a way to console himself.
“I bet that guy who runs the ‘Syrian’ Observatory for Human Rights is chewing the rug in his Coventry flat.”
Haha, indeed — while making a hell of a noise banging remorselessly on the white helmet he proudly wears on his head! Maybe also cheering himself up with a song about sweet revenge some later day:
Die Fahne grühn
Takfiris fest geschlossen
Assad kaputt
Und Putin ist das auch
Von Türken und von Saudis in dem Kampf erschossen
Da legen sie
In Blut und Dreck und Rauch
US-BACKED MILITANTS BLAME RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES FOR FAILED ATTACK ON GOVERNMENT TROOPS AT DAMASCUS-BAGHDAD HIGHWAY…
…It’s interesting to note that the mainstream media and US proxies continue denying that the Syrian Arab Army is deployed at the Damascus-Baghdad highway. Because if they admit this, they will be pushed to say that the US-led forces’ only goal is to prevent the Damascus government from restoring control over the border…..”

“The United States is unlikely to withdraw its troops from Syria once the devastating six-year war in the Arab country is over, former senior security policy analyst to the US Secretary of Defense Michael Maloof told Radio Sputnik.”

The US forces are desperate to break up Syria and install a new ‘statelet’ under their control. I think it was 2008, when my attention was drawn towards a certain map of the Middle East that started circulating over the internet, being part of a ‘Project’.
It is called ‘Project New Middle East’, of course originated by Anglo-American and Israeli interest. They talk about ‘creative destruction’ and ‘necessary pain’. It also aims to get leverage to the southern flank states of Russia (my guess is, that this is the main reason).
Here is a detailed article about it, including the map itself: http://www.globalresearch.ca/plans-for-redrawing-the-middle-east-the-project-for-a-new-middle-east/3882
“The US-led coalition and US-backed forces are on full alert over the collapse of ISIS in the Syrian province of Aleppo and the success of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) against the terrorist group at the Iraqi border with Syria.”
Even if Zionazis have zero compassion even for their own kith and kin, I suppose it feels a little lonely with no like-minded people to take pride in.
Respect and congratulations to Syria, Russia and their allies — this is wonderful news!
