Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

[BLACKEAGLE]

For those who say Western Media is "biased against Assad," you'd think a massacre which killed 104+ people would be on front page news. Guess what, it's not.

Assad was literally given green light to massacre people. Haven't heard a single thing from any major world powers (US, UK, France, Russia, China.) In fact, Russia delivered 6 jets for Assad. MiG-31s. While they are interceptors, SyAAF was still crazy enough to use MiG-25 in the bomber role for a while.

Still waiting for a justification of the Douma massacre by Assadists.

Quit this, the only thing you should be waiting for is the payback.

Don't you think the new Saudi regime is much more offensive and determinant to face Iranian influence in Syria? After king Salman coronation, we have been seeing vast gains for the rebels in Aleppo, Idlib, Qunaitera and Daraa which indicates a major shift in their support.

Maybe he increased support somewhat, but I dont see any major change. Amount of TOWs they use is about the same as before (40-50 a month), no new weapons. Besides I'm sure that that JAF offensive preparations took half year at least.

What about Assad forces collapse and Sinni forces clean up what's left of them and establish united Syria with the help of Turkey, the GCC and Jordan?

Unless there will be some gamechanger, like massive supplies of MANPADS (as it happened in Afghanistan), NFZ, Iran and Russia stop supporting Assad... there is no reason why would Assad suddenly collapse. And I am 99.999% that there will be no such gamechanger.

That does not mean Assad is winning. He is losing, but he takes Syria with himself.

Then how do you explain the major advance of rebels in Idlib and Daraa?

Besides I'm sure that that JAF offensive preparations took half year at least.

I don't get you here.

I don't think GCC, Turkey and Jordan will allow the two scenarios you mentioned. Plus, Syria is such a wild place, it's fighters especially the rebels won't allow a fragmentation after Assad collapse (not necessarily sudden collapse), I mean, even if there will be a political agreement or initiative that include the two of your scenarios between Syrian opposition and Assad, fighters on ground won't stick to it. Don't forget that rebels have the advantage of demographic majority while Assad has already started suffering from fighters shortage.

You took Yugoslavia and Lebanon as examples of what will happen in Syria, while in reality Syria is different. What happened in Syria is a revolution of the majority of people who have regional and international support. While in Yugoslavia the partition was imposed by NATO. And as for Lebanon the fighting factions were almost even in strength and demographic percentage, Shia, Sunni, and Christians. And further it's nowhere as important as Syria in which any fragmentation will significantly affect all neighboring countries, that's why I say they won't allow this to happen.

Where were you exactly when Islamic front killed 30 people and injured nearly 100 people in Damascus last week?

Or their shelling of every Alawite or Christian village they can. Yesterday they shelled Mhraddah (in which Christians live) and Latakia. They have been shelling Fua'a for days now, killing many civilians.

Now people being killed in Douma, no one is happy about that and it is very unfortunate. But you should also go cry to Islamic Front terrorists who killed 30 civilians in Damascus last week, when there was no unintentional bombing of civilians in Eastern Ghouta for weeks by SAA. They did it hours before Iran's FM arrives in Damascus, perhaps to send a 'message'? Shell Damascus and kill 30 to send a message, makes sense.

The only shelling Islamic Front (specifically JAI) did last week in Damascus was against the Presidential Palace with Grads. That's it. If you're talking about the 30 dead due to relentless artillery shelling on Darayya, Douma, Jobar, etc...then you need to look to the people you support.

Why haven't they shelled the hell out of Bahsa or Ishtabraq? Or committed any massacres there? Latakian port and military positions are what are being targeted IIRC, and Fua'a is getting shelled because there is a large Hezbollah population in there. To date, the only civilians I can think of who have died in Fua'a are the 4 women in initial shelling.

Are you retarded? Eastern Ghouta has been shelled almost daily. For the past few months, if not years. Barrel bombs, mortars, artillery, whatever.
Again, as I said above, only shelling was against Presidential Palace. Get your head out of the gutter and look at sources on the ground for once. Not Hezbollah or SAA, but civilian activists.
Assad bombed Eastern Ghouta with Sarin and killed 1,400 people as the inspectors arrived to investigate previous attacks. Now he bombed Douma with airstrikes, barrel bombs, and thermobaric weapons and killed 104+ people in the initial attack (and more in the follow up attacks today.) He did this as the UN Relief Chief arrived to talk with fatass Mua'allim.

As for "no one cheering" attack on Douma, I'll leave this here:

This bastard is related to Assad. Basically he's supporting "attacks on terrorists." Sure, sure.

JAI blew up a tunnel dug by ISIS in Southern Damascus. The tunnel started 30m away from Assadist positions. If this isn't enough proof of co-operation I don't know what is.

And in much happier news, so far in this week 2 regime helicopters crashed due to technical failure.

Good, keep denying regular shelling of Damascus and other areas by Aloush terrorist gangs, because they are such a good guy and so innocent.

The fighting in and around Damascus has escalated in recent days. Last week, rebels shelled the capital ahead of a visit by Iran's foreign minister, killing more than 30 people.

Rebels shell Syria's Latakia town, stronghold of Assad support | Middle East Eye

Oh they shell military targets in Latakia? With crappy inaccurate 'hell cannons'? Did you know how stupid it sounded when you just said this sentence?

And about Fua'a, keep bringing excuses. There are between 20,000 to 30,000 civilians in Fua'a and Kafraya, and all of them are Hezbollah, based on your excuse. Totally makes sense. That's why +95% of all shelling victims are civilians, including many women and children.

The fact that amazes me is how low you are ready to go to deny the fact that terrorists actually do these killings.

Go to any forum where there is Saudis and see how their tongue is clean

LOL, Assadists again attack in Ghab plain.

JAI always announce when they shell areas in Damascus. They also release videos of it. So far the past week they have only shelled the Presidential palace.
I never supported rebel shelling of Aleppo, Aleppo is my city. They are shelling Assadist positions among civilian areas, which is not a good idea. I don't support it. But the difference between rebels and Assad is that rebels don't target civilian areas on purpose.

Hell Cannons have a maximum range of 1.5km. They are used for urban warfare. Rebels are ~30km away from Latakia. They use Grads.

The majority of Fua'a and Kefarya were evacuated during Suheil al Hassan's marathon out of Idlib. I have already presented video evidence of this earlier, the army even used them as human shields during the retreat. The majority of "shelling victims" are Hezbollah, again the only victims I can remember of the shelling on Fua'a and Kefarya are the 4 women.

I never denied anything, go back to all of my previous posts and read, I never denied rebel shelling or its civilian casualties. But you're denying that Assad targets civilian areas on purpose, which rebels don't do.

You see, the difference between me and you, is that I'm calling for Fua'a and Kefarya to be cleared of Hezbollah and SAA. You're calling for the flattening of Zabadani.

I guess I figured Assad's strategy. He is trading Alawi cannon fodder for TOWs:

 

[Dr.Thrax]

Regime advanced in Ghab Plain and took 4 villages or so. They're now in the process of losing them because so far 4 tanks have been destroyed (within the span of an hour) and rebels have captured 20 fighters. Total force attacking Ghab plain was ~600, with the help of 150 airstrikes as well. So far rebels already retook Ziyarah and are recapturing the rest. (Khirbet Naqus, Mansoura, Hakoura)
Ahrar al Sham released more GoPro footage of their attack on Jabal Turkmen, I can't post it as it shows 3 dead Assadists at the end.

In pictures: Hezbollah’s child soldiers
August 18, 2015
Evidence of Party of God sending minors into battle has mounted steadily over the last year

ALEX ROWELL

In July 2014, Hezbollah buried a 16-year-old fighter, Muhammad Ali Hussein Awada, who had been killed fighting Syrian opposition militants in the mountainous Lebanese-Syrian border zone. The revelation of his age, observers noted at the time, implied the Party of God – straining to hold larger swathes of territory with fewer men – had abandoned its former requirement that all fighters sent into live combat be at least 18 years of age.

Since then, evidence of Hezbollah sending children – defined by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as all people under 18 – to the frontlines of the war in Syria has mounted steadily. The pro-Hezbollah website SouthLebanon.org, which publicizes funerals of the militia's fighters killed "in confrontation with the mercenaries of disbelief and Wahhabism" – a reference to Sunni militants – has to date published photos of over two dozen "mujahideen martyrs" who appear likely to have been under 18 (see above image).

When the case of one obviously juvenile fatality, that of 15-year-old Mashhoor Shams al-Din, came to light in April 2015, the Party issued a statement denying he was killed fighting in Syria, claiming instead that he succumbed to a "saddening accident" in south Lebanon. Syrian opposition activists had asserted he was killed fighting in Syria's Qalamoun region; the same place 16-year-old Awada was killed the previous year.

Lebanon is no stranger to the use of child soldiers. During frequent clashes in the northern city of Tripoli in 2012-13 between the feuding neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, several videos emerged of children participating in the battles, including one of a boy scarcely out of infancy, the recoil of his AK-47 almost knocking him off his feet.

Throughout the 1975-90 civil war, too, child soldier recruitment was widespread, with Progressive Socialist Party militia leader Walid Jumblatt, for example, admitting to using soldiers "as young as ten."

And in the present Syrian civil war, a June 2015 UN report found almost every faction, pro- and anti-regime, from Hezbollah and the so-called Popular Committees to ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra to the Kurdish YPG and the Free Syrian Army, to be guilty of deploying child soldiers.

International law forbids the recruitment of soldiers under 18, especially by non-state militias, such as Hezbollah. Article 4 of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict (OPAC), adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2000, says, "Armed groups that are distinct from the armed forces of a State should not, under any circumstances, recruit or use in hostilities persons under the age of 18 years." It also stipulates that "Parties shall take all feasible measures to prevent such recruitment and use, including the adoption of legal measures necessary to prohibit and criminalize such practices" – meaning Lebanon, which is a signatory to OPAC, is compelled by international law to take action to prevent Hezbollah's – and any other militia's – ongoing use of child soldiers.

Don't worry about #douma guys. WHen the fire reaches qardaha and tartous then only then will people start crying and the world will do more than just issue words of condemnation.

But by then it will be too late
