The Syrian army alongside Hezbollah with Russian air support has been taking back huge amounts of territory in Northwest Syria around Aleppo, the army regained control of two important highways and captured several villages along the way. They captured an important ISIS stronghold and continued to push on strongly, showing they're done with the 3 year long war of attrition and are dedicated to capturing the vital places in the area. The army lifts an almost 3 year long siege on the Kuweires Military Airport and helps the few hundred soldiers there that have been stuck fighting for years. Earlier today, a senior Al-Nusra Front commander was killed along with 12 militants in an special operation.



ISIS is failing horribly in their advances and their defenses in Northwest Syria, on the 19th they attempted to push on Deir ez-Zor but Russia launched a huge number of cruise missiles and killed an estimated 600 terrorists. Russia has destroyed numerous oil facilities and tankers that ISIS controlled, it's estimated that ISIS was making $1.5m daily from them and it's been effectively stopped. In the past 4 days, Russia has launched 522 sorties and destroyed 800 targets. These are in North Syrian provinces that the Syrian army is pushing on and making huge gains, namely Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. As for the Western coalition, it's been confirmed that Obama blocks 75% of all airstrikes because he's afraid they might kill a civilian, and has stated that ground troops are out of the question. France on the other hand, significantly stepped up their airstrikes in Northwest Syria in Raqqa after the 11/13 attacks and have started to work together with Russia against ISIS.

Keep up the good work.

Russia, whatever you do, don't fund Hezbollah ever. I don't think the US even funded them of all people, but if they do, it will bring consequences for Russia.

I think you're confusing Hezbollah with another organization, while they might be deemed as terrorist organization by Israel/US and a few others they ultimately have solid legal reasons for their Israeli opposition and defending their homeland from occupation. They're not like Hamas who just senselessly sends shitty missiles into Israel and hopes it kills a few people because they hate Jews so damn much. Russia has nothing to lose by supporting them. At this point, Hezbollah is proving their legitimacy and are risking a lot of lives directly fighting ISIS on the ground in Syria. So far 1,500 has died fighting against ISIS. You should be grateful that all these "terrorist" groups are on the ground fighting against the real terrorists, because really with these guys it's only a matter of time before ISIS is done for.

Not exactly, but I assume the aftermath will start it.

Maybe Western and Eastern Nations will be divided with who will govern the Middle East and especially Syria.

The U.S. will have its interests which will possibly divide Syria into West Syria, and Russia that is currently working alongside with Al-Assad will take the other piece and call it East Syria.

And that's what my hypothesis is.

Nazis rose to power and fell hard. Western nations took West Germany and the communist Eastern nations took East Germany.

No. WW3 won't happen in our lifetimes, at least I can guarantee that. The situation isn't anything similar to what happened in Germany, not at all. America wants regime change, they want a more democratic government in Syria and they believe Assad is the reason why the civil war is waging. That's untrue, as Assad is holding the Syrian government together much like Gaddafi or Saddam. We all know what happened when Western governments forced regime changes there, don't we? The point being, there's only really 3 big players in the Syria conflict. There's the Syrian army, backed by Russia-Iraq-Iran and then there's the Kurds who're backed by Western countries and openly don't fight against the Syrian army and then there's Islamic rebels funded intentionally by Gulf Countries and unintentionally by Western countries that kill government troops. The Kurds want their own state, and have taken over a bunch of territory. There has to be a significant divide for a country to be setup like Germany post-WW2. The Kurds don't want to fight against the Syrian army and the rebels are almost all Islamic terrorists who want to see Western countries fail and honestly don't control enough to have a big say in what happens aside from being a nuance.

Basically, WW3 won't happen because even though lots of stupid politicians are calling for a no-fly zone it won't actually happen. Turkey's going to eventually regret bombing the shit out of the Kurds in the long run, give it a couple more years when the state of Kurdistan becomes a reality and economic sanctions are placed against Turkey and they'll realize what they've done wrong. So no, even now we're seeing France and Russia starting to work together. Lots of countries are starting to get tired of playing geopolitical games in Syria, and some just want to see ISIS finally destroyed.

Yeah I know that, but I wasn't saying that it could even be compared to WWI or WWII, but I think I saw somewhere that the World War III needs the entrance of 5 different countries to be officially declared or something like that, but I'm not sure of that. Although there is already 4 countries in this war, Russia, France, Syria and US. China and the UK may be the next ones to join. However, I'll repeat myself and say that this won't even compare to the previous WW's.

Shame on those "brotherly" Muslim countries for selling out to US and EU against Syria and Iran.

But its all good, 3 years later of trying to take him down, and Assad is still in power, they tried everything and my man is still standing.

You raise a good point there, but you have to realize that the government is only just now able to start counterattacking against ISIS because of Russian airsupport and Iran. The map is misleading as well, while it's true that ISIS controls a vast sum of territory in Syria it's also important to remember that the majority of it is just small villages. The Syrian government still has the majority of the population under it's control. What we're seeing is the Syrian army lifting year long sieges and starting to take control of the surrounding area around Aleppo, which is symbolically the heart of the Syrian conflict and represents that Syria is finally stopping the war of attrition and is winning. Iraq on the other hand, has made HUGE gains and are pushing ISIS back to Syria. You also have to understand that most of the territory lost simply wasn't worth defending or the SAA didn't want to fight against the Kurds. It's important to note that the Kurds are also pushing on ISIS as well.

This is what ISIS said about Israel: "We haven’t given orders to kill the Israelis and the Jews. The war against the nearer enemy, those who rebel against the faith, is more important. Allah commands us in the Koran to fight the hypocrites, because they are much more dangerous than those who are fundamentally heretics." and right now ISIS can't really get into a war against Israel.

Instead of talking about tinfoil hat conspiracies, it's widely accepted that Saudi Arabi helped start the Syrian civil war and that Turkey is bombing the YPG (The Kurds) and are funding ISIS. This isn't a theory, there's photos of Turkey/Saudi officials with ISIS militants and whoever speaks out against this mysteriously dies soon after. Israel's main goal is in the Syrian conflict is to punish Iran, so they're bombing Hezbollah and preventing them from winning. It's in Israel's best interest to keep the conflict brewing in Syria, to increase their foreign aid money and at the same time let more Iranian troops die. There's several proxy wars happening atm in Syria, it's a bit confusing but basically the surrounding Gulf Countries all have some sort of military influence on the situation. It's a mess, but I'll try to explain each countries objectives.

Israel wants Iran to suffer, no arms to Hezbollah.
America and Western countries want a democratic government, but at the expense of stability in Syria.
Saudi Arabi wants to oust Assad and have the Islamic Front (no not ISIS) take over and establish a "moderate" caliphate
Turkey wants to prevent the Kurds from making their own state
Iran is backing Syria, because historically Syria has had Iran's back in doing a lot of dirty and illegal work. When other countries turned their back, Syria was there. They're the closest allies, even if they disagree ideologically.
Russia wants to prove that it's more competent than the USA, that it's able to get the job done.
Qatar They want to prove they're not just some no-name country in the Middle East, and they too can help solve the conflict... by sending billions to ISIS.

Those are the main players in the Syria conflict, though Israel really isn't that important in this case surprisingly. There's 2 coalitions, Iran-Iraq-Syria-Russia and they're fighting against well everybody else in a proxy war. The difference between the coaliations is that the Russian coalition has a clear goal, and none of them are trying to exert some crazy geopolitical game. The Western and Gulf coalition are a bunch of countries divided on how to actually fight ISIS, and most of them actually end up unintentionally funding ISIS like America that spent $500m and nearly all of it went to ISIS.

They've been in the Golan Heights since 1973, effectively annex that region in 1985, though the UN tells them they have to give it up as part of a peace treaty they agreed to. A fact they ignore. Has little to do with ISIS technically.

I didn't know Israel was actually treating wounded rebels, I'll give that documentary a watch sometime today. I wouldn't put it past them though, considering their policy is basically to keep the conflict going for as long as possible.
