Popular forces are all local fighters, that's not the problem. The big PMU units were formed by political parties, their command was highly politicized, instead of being a military force they sometimes acted against the army simply to 'challenge/compete' against the gov given that they were/are...

What you wrote was written in the POV of Iran's interests. PMU declared Tikrit operation whilst IA wanted to go for another town. There was a power struggle between the IA/Gov and PMU. Power has been shifting in the favor of gov/IA as PMU has been following their commands since Tikrit OP...

I didn't say that, I said: YBS that is, good to counter Barzanistan, erdogan is mad about it but that's the point.

It already failed, the chance is long gone. Sinjar has YBS who are linked to Baghdad (highly likely IA will deploy there after Mosul) which barzani hasn't been able to do anything about but complain. Peshmerga is not one group, they have the PUK and KDP merga. KDP merga is loyal to barzani...

Barzanis militia (peshmerga KDP) are very incompetent, they couldn't defeat the YPG, KDP has no presence in Syria whilst YPG has presence in Iraq through Baghdad support which upsets the KDP yet they can't do anything about it.

I would like to add that defeating IS requires countering some GCC terrorist funders, especially Saudi and Qatari governments. Hopefully Trump will do that.

SU-34? Good thing to fulfill that role.

Oh I see.. I'm sorry to hurt you here but there are Iraqi commanders who could plan and execute the Al Bab operation better than Turkey's current military leaders given their extensive experience in combatting IS. The thing is, that doesn't have to do with nationality but rather with...

Actually wrong. Many towns have been taken with minimum damage. If one's inability to capture the city makes them decide to destroy it instead and kill many civs in the process then better don't try to take it. Mosul is taking long for the major reason that civs safety is the priority.

Mosul offensive pause has been halted, 2nd phase with different strategy commences. Can't post links yet, but put the title in google. Source: Business standard 97 IS militants killed in clashes, air strike in Iraq's Mosul A total of 97 Islamic State (IS) militants were killed on Sunday in...

Saudi Arabia supports terrorism, that's the only thing worth saying here. -- http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/egypt-seeks-import-crude-directly-iraq Egypt's Petroleum Minister Tarek El Molla said on Thursday his country was seeking to reach an agreement with Iraq over importing crude oil...

lol

They share such vids on their telegram channels

wargames pics, small boats operated by marines they said. That water looks dirty

You're the part time IS rooter that makes fun of ISF operations, yes you talk too much.

Yea that's how you give IS victory

IS are burning soldiers alive, people are dying, families will go through depressions as a result, life's ruined and you're here talking about defeating Russia, Iran and the SAA. You know if all the retarded regional leaders combined these armies (Iraqi, Iranian, Turkish, SAA) to burn IS then IS...

Can't fix stupid

Those nationalists you're talking about who want to conquer should bleed themselves, they should lose their own families not have others do it for them so they can claim the glory in the name of nationality. I hope you don't believe what you're writing, too much nonsense in this thread.
