Ladies if you think the US/coalition campaign against IS is so bad then feel free to start your own thread about it.

Freaking break through! I've been trying to convince you of that for over 2 freaking years! I've also said: EVERYBODY - especially governments - LIE! That's why you defending Russia / Russia & Assad has been so much SIGNUTS BS. Fine, don't listen to me, listen to YOURSELF (f*cksake).
I'll be damned if Siggy/kiki ever internalise the idea that "everyone lies" to the extent that they apply any kind of critical thinking to their reading/watching of Russian state-owned media, and the pro-Russia blogs that parrot it.
Or at least, I'll believe it when I see it.

Drone footage of "liberated" Aleppo:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/38294748
Pretty much all of rebel or formerly rebel Aleppo looks like this. We may never know how many thousands of civilians died, caught up in this carnage.

Quote:Of course I do. that's why I said ... wait for it ... that sites like pro-Russian Southfront have a tendency to only report happy news, and sites like Syria Direct always try to portray the (almost nonexistent) moderate rebels in the best light possible. (But even they fuck up, which is where I find the most damning admissions).

You blokes, however, NEVER admit that your so-called "reliable" sources and your precious "moderate rebels" would ever purvey totally fake news, even though they do quite often, and you have had plenty of examples of it. Some examples of which were posted (above), and I can't help but note that you failed to even acknowledge them. As usual, pretending they don't exist is your go-to response.
Quote:Not to worry, I'm sure your precious SOHR will grab a figure out of its ass and spread it around.

I personally feel that it's just too bad that your so-called "moderate rebels" didn't give civilians a chance to escape the fighting.

In the meantime, ISIL has re-taken Palmyra ... and I'm sure that KRAPO and GSTRING and THUGR got a little frisson of joy, because overall they would rather back terrorists than see Russia and Assad successful. But they smooth over that cognitive dissonance by deluding themselves that there really is some sort of "moderate rebel group" still active in Syria. In any case ...
... there was unusual scathing criticism of the Syrian Army which was left defending Palmyra posted on SouthFront:
Quote:This was a major military effort by ISIL, not just a group of merrie men with AK-47s. I wonder, given the equipment that was captured by ISIL what the net net is. Also, now the SAA and RAF will have to bomb their own equipment in order to retake Palmyra.
ISIS terrorists seized the ancient city of Palmyra from Syrian government forces. The terrorist group also took control of Biyarat, Dawah and Hayyan oil facility west of Palmyra after a series of clashes with the Syrian army and the National Defense Forces (NDF). Terrorists also attacked the Qadri farms and shelled government forces in the outskirts of the Tayfor Airbase. Heavy clashes were also at the Tiyas village near the Tayfor Airbase, but the Syrian army repelled ISIS attacks there.
ISIS was able to achieve all these gains despite massive airstrikes by the Syrian Air Force and the Russian Aerospace Forces. Only Russian warplanes and helicopters have delivered over 150 airstrikes on ISIS terrorists near Palmyra since Saturday. On Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that eleven battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, 31 cars with heavy machineguns, and over 300 militants were destroyed.
Quote:And their Russian advisors
Government forces are now regrouping and deploying reinforcements in the area west of Palmyra and conducting a pre-emptive shelling of ISIS units before the counter-attack.
ISIS has a 4,000-strong attack force in the area and is readying to continue the advance. In Palmyra it has seized a high number of military equipment from government forces and Russian military advisers.
The breakthrough and rapid advancement of the ISIS took place due to fundamental mistakes of commanders of units of the Syrian Army and the NDF
Quote:In other words, they didn't see this major assault coming, and they didn't have tank traps, outposts, and other fortification necessary, and they sure as hell didn't let Damascus know what was going on. "All clear on the eastern front!" was prolly the message going back to HQ.
, deployed in the Palmyra area, who just let their guard down. They did not pay due attention to fortification activities, processes of equipping positions with engineering and combat hardware, as well as were carelessness during tactical reconnaissance and assessment of the forces and means of attackers.
Quote:
As a result, commanders did not report the all necessary information to the higher command in Damascus on time, thereby, deluding it. However, this fact does not remove the responsibility from the central command and the Russian assist and advise mission.
There are several reasons, which explain the emergence of so many mistakes at one and the same time:
Wrong informing from outlying areas;
Negligence in reconnaissance;
Focusing of the attention on the military operation in the city of Aleppo;
Unexpected redeployment of new ISIS units from Iraq to Syria, as well as involvement of the most experienced ISIS commanders of the senior and middle levels in the offensive;
Unexpected large number of suicide bombers, involved in the operation.
Meanwhile, clashes continued in the city of Aleppo where government forces renewed the military operation amid the collapsing ceasefire efforts by Russia. The army its allies liberated Al-Asilah, Ma`adi and Bab al Maqam. Heavy clashes also took place in Sheikh Saeed. However, December 12 morning, government forces were in the control of the area.

UN: Assad forces shooting civilians in Aleppo on sight.

Answers the question of why tens of thousands of civilians stayed in the city, afraid to leave, throughout the fighting.

Yes, from your link I can see the row of bodies right here ...
Quote:
"Yesterday evening, we received further deeply disturbing reports [From whom?] that numerous bodies were lying on the streets," Mr Colville added, while admitting it was hard to verify the reports.
Quote:The only desperation that I sense here is a desperate need to bullshit.
“Desperation is when people would rather flee to their deaths than allow the bombs and starvation come to them,” Ammar Salmou, director of the Aleppo Civil Defense [aka "White Helmets" i.e. al Qaeda affiliates] told Syria Direct on Tuesday. - SyraiDirect
After constantly slagging Russia about the liberation of Aleppo, even NPR (globalist-Democratic source that it is) had to admit that the liberated civilians were housed and fed, and being treated well, and that there was no massacres or arrests or forced conscriptions as the so-called "rebels" claimed.
BTW- military operations have ceased in Aleppo. The city is fully liberated. Your hearts can stop bleeding for those poor "moderate rebels" and their civilian hostages now, and you can start cheerleading for al Qaeda in Idlib and ISIL in Palmyra.

Hillary knew all about the Electoral College when she ran for office. All of this after-the-fact bitching is still just an attempt to rewrite history. I guess you're all still in various stages of grief, including anger, denial, and bargaining, all rolled into one

Again, you're saying that the UN, international aid organisations and human rights organisations with people on the ground in Syria are no more reliable than your Russian-propaganda-parroting, 9/11-truther-spewing blogs? Typical.

Yes they have, the one ISIS-held town of note that the Syrian regime has captured since the Russian intervention... they've now lost back to ISIS. It shows you how committed Putin and Assad are to the anti-ISIS fight.
