You prove my point.

White Assad aka Putin aka Khamenai terrorize and slaughter civilians with indiscriminate bombing, rebels are retaliating with raids against military targets.
They observe their target. A long time. Before each strike



And secondly why air strikes are conducted in civilian population areas
Watch this video from 3.10. All strikes are ordered by thease guyz
all keyboard warriors should listen to his

Spare me Putins propaganda for imbeciles. 99,9% of Assad aka Putin aka Khamenai strikes are random artillery/dumb/cluster bombs.

Example. On 14 March Russia bombed in Idlib 2 houses full of civilians. They killed 17 civilians including 8 children. They claimed it was "a big store of armed drones" there:

What we have in Syria is Internationally supported and enabled CIVIL WAR. Oh, and do you know why US is strangling Syrian citizens and govt via oil sanctions only NOW?? Its because US rebels have finally lost, so its ok to "punish " the entire country. If they "punished " Assad's govt b4 the war was over, their proxies would have been cutoff from oil/fuel supplies too!

With Assad Victorious, US Oil Sanctions Now Strangle Entire Syrian Population

The deep irony of the tragic Syria war is that after seven years of massive bloodshed, as the government has emerged victorious, it is only now with relative stability and ensuing calm over most of the country that an "economic siege" has hit the population with full force.

Damascus even during some of the worst years of war was always a bustling traffic-packed economic center for its six million inhabitants, but as we noted previously the country has been plunged into a fuel crisis that is the result of new US-led oil sanctions targeting Damascus and Tehran. As one recent WSJ report put it, Iranian oil deliveries to Syria have "fallen off a cliff" since January.

"Lifeless" and "decimated economy" are words used to describe the Syrian capital city and home to Assad in a new Bloomberg piece (which appeared just as busy as most any global cosmopolitan center only months ago), as further "traffic is light" and "morale is down," according to the report.

"Waiting 19 hours for gas in a lifeless city" the headlines read. The ongoing weeks-long crisis has now been made especially worse after the Trump administration this week ended embargo exemptions for eight countries allowed to purchase Iranian crude.

"Lines of cars stretching for miles wait hours to fill their tanks with the 20 liters of gasoline that Syrians in government-controlled areas are allowed every five days," Bloomberg describes. "The last shipment of oil from Iran, which was sending up to 3 million barrels a month, came in October before sanctions were resumed."

It was thought runaway inflation during the height of the war years would reverse course, but as one Damascus resident related:

“I thought once the war ended, our currency would become stronger and our living standards better,” said Saeed al-Khaldi, who transports vegetables across the sprawling city. Damascus’s population has almost doubled since the war started, to over 6 million, as civilians fled violence in other regions. “Instead, we’re living from one crisis to the other.”

The WSJ reported last month that Iranian oil had been routinely delivered to Syria throughout most of the war, but now "U.S. sanctions have cut off Iranian oil shipments to Syria, taking an unprecedented toll on a flow of crude that had persisted in the face of long-term international restrictions and helped sustain the Assad regime through years of civil war."

So why did Washington previously keep it flowing? Why cut off supplies now through increased sanctions? Simply put, Assad and his Iranian allies won the war.

And so long as there were US-Saudi supported "rebels" entrenched in Damascus' suburbs, such as Eastern Ghouta, and other pockets across the country, any targeting of Syrian oil imports at that time would have strangled not only the regime but America's proxies on the ground as well.

How would #Syria ‘s State have been able to avoid the latest sanctions on Petroleum Products?

By not going for the final “win” in April 2018 in Eastern Ghouta & other opposition held areas near Damascus.

OFAC prepared its directive & delivered it barely 6 months afterwards

But now, as last year the final anti-Assad pockets of insurgents were rooted out by the Syrian Army, Washington is content to economically strangle the entire region.

One little acknowledged fact is that by United Nations figures, the majority of the displaced from the war are actually "internally displaced persons" (7 million IDP's based on past years' estimates by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR), which means Washington's policy of economic strangulation is directly impacting every part of the population, whether pro-government or not.

The White House still fundamentally prioritizes weakening Syria as crucial in its ultimate goal of regime change in In this sense, the "long war" for Syria could merely be in its middle phase.

So has this war ended yet or fighting still on going?
Media doesn’t talk much about Syria anymore. Seems there are much more pressing issues worldwide nowadays. The conflict has been virtually forgotten here.

Military/fighting phase of the war has ended but the economic phase has begun, hence the oil sanctions on SYria by US hoping that Syrians will turn against Assad and remove him.

Thats lame and stupid propaganda of Putin and Khamenai. Your knowledge about Syrian conflict is based on PressTV and Russia Today articles.

1) What caused civil war is Assad's order to use army against the protesters.
2) Assad army which was majority Sunni refused to shoot own brothers and defected in masses.
3) First towns which gained independence from Assad were Rastan and Talbise, deep inside Syria, surrounded by Assad forces from all sides. And they fought against Assad in complete encirclement for 7 years.
4) West refused to provide any aid to rebels in 2011, 2012 when Assad regime was collapsing all over the country and rebels used fuking trebuchetes and cooking gas canisters instead of mortars.
5) Only after open and massive intervention of Hezbollah and dozens Iranian militias West allowed tiny aid to rebels.
6) West stillrefused to provide any air defence to rebels (unlike Afghanistan where mujahedeen got swarms of MANDAPS).
7) West refused to provide no fly zone to rebels when Assad started indiscriminate barrel bombing of towns, killing and depopulating MILLIONS. On the other hand When Assad dropped 1 bomb near Kurdish forces US immediately shot down Assad's Su-22.
8) West refused to air drop even one piece of bread to encircled rebel towns starved by Assad. Same West provided MASSIVE air aid to Assad forces encircled by ISIS in Deir ez Zor.

So spare me nonsense about West enabling civil war.

Oh, and do you know why US is strangling Syrian citizens and govt via oil sanctions only NOW?? Its because US rebels have finally lost, so its ok to "punish " the entire country. If they "punished " Assad's govt b4 the war was over, their proxies would have been cutoff from oil/fuel supplies too!
US returned same exactly sanctions on Iran that were before 2015. The reason is simple: instead using money for own people Iran used money to slaughter people in Syria and Yemen.

And while Assad does not have money for own people it has enough money to daily slaughter people of Idlib.

The sectarian terror group won’t be defeated by the western states that incubated it in the first place

The war on terror, that campaign without end launched 14 years ago by George Bush, is tying itself up in ever more grotesque contortions. On Monday the trial in London of a Swedish man, Bherlin Gildo, accused of terrorism in Syria, collapsed after it became clear British intelligence had been arming the same rebel groups the defendant was charged with supporting.

The prosecution abandoned the case, apparently to avoid embarrassing the intelligence services. The defence argued that going ahead with the trial would have been an “affront to justice” when there was plenty of evidence the British state was itself providing “extensive support” to the armed Syrian opposition.

That didn’t only include the “non-lethal assistance” boasted of by the government (including body armour and military vehicles), but training, logistical support and the secret supply of “arms on a massive scale”. Reports were cited that MI6 had cooperated with the CIA on a “rat line” of arms transfers from Libyan stockpiles to the Syrian rebels in 2012 after the fall of the Gaddafi regime.

Clearly, the absurdity of sending someone to prison for doing what ministers and their security officials were up to themselves became too much. But it’s only the latest of a string of such cases. Less fortunate was a London cab driver Anis Sardar, who was given a life sentence a fortnight earlier for taking part in 2007 in resistance to the occupation of Iraq by US and British forces. Armed opposition to illegal invasion and occupation clearly doesn’t constitute terrorism or murder on most definitions, including the Geneva convention.

But terrorism is now squarely in the eye of the beholder. And nowhere is that more so than in the Middle East, where today’s terrorists are tomorrow’s fighters against tyranny – and allies are enemies – often at the bewildering whim of a western policymaker’s conference call.

For the past year, US, British and other western forces have been back in Iraq, supposedly in the cause of destroying the hyper-sectarian terror group Islamic State (formerly known as al-Qaida in Iraq). This was after Isis overran huge chunks of Iraqi and Syrian territory and proclaimed a self-styled Islamic caliphate.

The campaign isn’t going well. Last month, Isis rolled into the Iraqi city of Ramadi, while on the other side of the now nonexistent border its forces conquered the Syrian town of Palmyra. Al-Qaida’s official franchise, the Nusra Front, has also been making gains in Syria.

Some Iraqis complain that the US sat on its hands while all this was going on. The Americans insist they are trying to avoid civilian casualties, and claim significant successes. Privately, officials say they don’t want to be seen hammering Sunni strongholds in a sectarian war and risk upsetting their Sunni allies in the Gulf.

A revealing light on how we got here has now been shone by a recently declassified secret US intelligence report, written in August 2012, which uncannily predicts – and effectively welcomes – the prospect of a “Salafist principality” in eastern Syria and an al-Qaida-controlled Islamic state in Syria and Iraq. In stark contrast to western claims at the time, the Defense Intelligence Agency document identifies al-Qaida in Iraq (which became Isis) and fellow Salafists as the “major forces driving the insurgency in Syria” – and states that “western countries, the Gulf states and Turkey” were supporting the opposition’s efforts to take control of eastern Syria.

Raising the “possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality”, the Pentagon report goes on, “this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran)”.

pretty well exactly what happened two years later. The report isn’t a policy document. It’s heavily redacted and there are ambiguities in the language. But the implications are clear enough. A year into the Syrian rebellion, the US and its allies weren’t only supporting and arming an opposition they knew to be dominated by extreme sectarian groups; they were prepared to countenance the creation of some sort of “Islamic state” – despite the “grave danger” to Iraq’s unity – as a Sunni buffer to weaken Syria.

That doesn’t mean the US created Isis, of course, though some of its Gulf allies certainly played a role in it – as the US vice-president, Joe Biden, acknowledged last year. But there was no al-Qaida in Iraq until the US and Britain invaded. And the US has certainly exploited the existence of Isis against other forces in the region as part of a wider drive to maintain western control.

The calculus changed when Isis started beheading westerners and posting atrocities online, and the Gulf states are now backing other groups in the Syrian war, such as the Nusra Front. But this US and western habit of playing with jihadi groups, which then come back to bite them, goes back at least to the 1980s war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, which fostered the original al-Qaida under CIA tutelage.

It was recalibrated during the occupation of Iraq, when US forces led by General Petraeus sponsored an El Salvador-style dirty war of sectarian death squads to weaken the Iraqi resistance. And it was reprised in 2011 in the Nato-orchestrated war in Libya, where Isis last week took control of Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte.

In reality, US and western policy in the conflagration that is now the Middle East is in the classic mould of imperial divide-and-rule. American forces bomb one set of rebels while backing another in Syria, and mount what are effectively joint military operations with Iran against Isis in Iraq while supporting Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against Iranian-backed Houthi forces in Yemen. However confused US policy may often be, a weak, partitioned Iraq and Syria fit such an approach perfectly.

What’s clear is that Isis and its monstrosities won’t be defeated by the same powers that brought it to Iraq and Syria in the first place, or whose open and covert war-making has fostered it in the years since. Endless western military interventions in the Middle East have brought only destruction and division. It’s the people of the region who can cure this disease – not those who incubated the virus.

@500 Please know that the whole truth about the Syrian civil war is coming out, even though slow.
You could not address a single argument that I posted. Instead spam irrelevant article from crappy leftist paper.

ISIS is best thing happened to Assad. Before ISIS emerged rebels controlled more than 2/3 of Syria. Thanks to ISIS rebels lost the overhwelming majority of their lands.

To keep it 100% with you- IF you are corect, thats because i am 100% sure you either: 1) cant understand any sense or logic outside of what you offer, OR 2) you are a professional troll. By this i mean you are either paid by IDF , or some organization to deny truths and manipulate logic and good arguments on forums that makes Israel look bad and i feel confident that is intentional. In essence, you respond how a well trained human forum bot would behave.

Outside of what i said above, the reality in the world suggests you're wrong about the SYrian war, and this is why none of your posts get 1 like. People know you lie and manipulate facts 247.

What u dont understand? This was a situation in Syria before ISIS:

Assad was collapsing. Then ISIS came in and attacked the rebels. And Assad started to recover.

ISIS is the best thing that happened to Assad.

Hey aka girl
Iran do not have any thing here.
I am sure Saudis/Emirates are behind current mess by encouraging Syrian government to attack Idlib.
Iran at moment encouraging all sides to solve problems on negotiation table, but Sadly both side want war. Also, Terrorists bombs Syrian villages and as respond Syrian warplanes bombs Terrorists positions. Always Terrorists start and Syrians then respond.

Hey aka girl
Iran do not have any thing here.
This is what started recent slaughter in Idlib:

Rouhani: emphasis is made on combating "terrorism" (women and children who refuse to bow to Assad) in remaining areas including Idlib.


Assad was not even invited there. Assads money, oil mercenaries, weapons come from Khamenast Iran.

This is family slaughtered tonight by Khamenai aka Putin forces for sake of inbred corrupt dictator:

Thats the way Khamenai wishes happy Ramadan.

This is a sick and pathetic lie.

1) The slaughter of civilians in Idib started in February after Erdogan-Putin-Rouhani summit. There was no any violation from rebel side.
2) Even after months of indiscriminate slaughter by Khamenai aka Putin forces which led to death of hundreds civilians and ethnic cleansing of more than 140,000 people, rebels retaliated only against military targets.



So what we see here. While your government is butchering civilians for sake of corrupt leader, you are inventing lies to justify that slaughter.
