War in Syria 4

I wouldn't worry about Syria so much now. It's clear the US is preparing an offensive war on Iran.

That bristle faced fuckhead Bolton is even publicly contemplating levying sanctions on Europe if they don't get behind them.

Maybe its time for the US allies to abandon them. Let them do what they are going to do and hope that the US is so alienated around the world that American citizens will not be welcomed anywhere on the planet.

Syria - US Moves To Protect Al Qaeda, ISIS in Daraa

https://t.co/JgYvZWabLP

"The Syrian government and its Russian ally plan to clean up the southwest region of Syria around the city of Daraa. The move would open up the M5 highway, Syria's lifeline, between Damascus and Jordan and secure the border with Jordan as well as the demarcation line with the Israel occupied Golan Heights. The operation was supposed to start in a day or two, but the US has now threatened to intervene. As the southwest Daraa governate is infected with a large Islamic State (ISIS) group as well as al Qaeda and associated groups the US move must be interpreted as protection for these terrorists."

The US Will Not Allow Elimination of Al Qaeda and ISIS in Southern Syria

"The US would like to conserve what remains of al Qaeda and ISIS in Daraa and Quneitra on the triangle bordering Syria-Jordan-Israel. The protection of al Qaeda in the south of Syria and also of ISIS can be justified only in the context of protecting Israel, the US's  favoured ally..."

Syria: Raqqa in Ruins and Civilians Devastated After US-Led "War of Annihilation'

"...A strong prima facie case that many Coalition attacks that killed and injured civilians and destroyed homes and infrastructure violated international humanitarian law."

Oh, and yes, Canada is a member of the same US-led Coalition that did this to Raqqa. Funny how our media so seldom reports it. Years from now Canucklheads will claim they never knew.

"The Russian MoD confirms that it has received information that ISIS terrorists, with the help of US Special Forces, transferred chlorine tubes to the town of Jafra in Deir Ezzor to do a new chemical attack theatre to justify an aggression against Syria."

The Syrian army veered southwest Wednesday, June 20, to seize rebel-held Kfar Shams and Busra Al-Harir near the Israeli and Jordanian borders. Israel has not intervened as thousands flee the area under Syrian shelling, DEBKAfile’s military sources report. Syrian strategists, instead of launching the promised major offensive to capture rebel-held Quneitra opposite the Israeli Golan and Daraa on the Jordanian border, appear to be running the operation in small steps. Kfar Shams is situated north of Daraa and Busra al-Harir east of Quneitra (see attached map). The fall of Kfar Shams drives a hole in the rebel formations ranged along the Syrian-Israeli border and brings the Syrian army several kilometers closer to Israel’s Golan border; the fall of Busra al-Harir cuts the rebels’ supply lines from the north and severs their defense array along the Jordanian border.

Canada is also of course a member of the US-led Global Coalition Against Daesh in Iraq & Syria. As such anything the Foreign Minister says must be considered in light of its shared objectives of regime change and the dismemberment of Syria in the interest of Israel et al. Neither Freeland nor Canada can be considered by any stretch of the imagination  honest brokers in Syria.

Even now, having lost the war, it is recruiting and funding 'rebel' organizations and NGOs in Turkey in preparation for the next stage of the war which will be to achieve through a negotiated 'peace' what it failed to achieve in war.

Syrian rebel resistance to the Syrian Army advance on Quneitra opposite the Israeli Golan crumbled on Thursday, July 19, in the absence of Israeli military support. The terms of surrender that rebel leaders signed with Syrian army officers obliged them to hand over all their strongholds, including the town of Quneitra. The Syrian army was able to return to the positions held before the 2011 uprising without a shot. Rebels refusing to sign were to be sent with their families north to Idlib province.

Israeli officials and military leaders were dismayed by a message received from Damascus claiming that the 1974 Separation of Forces Accord, which both governments resuscitated this week, allowed Syrian aircraft, including assault helicopters and UAVs, to fly over the buffer zones of the Golan up to the Israel border. Damascus relayed a copy of the accord to Moscow with a warning that any Israeli attempt to shoot down a Syrian overflight would be a breach of the 1974 accord, and its endorsement on July 16 at Helsinki by Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. DEBKAfile revealed on July 17 that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had partnered the Helsinki deal for the restoration of southern Syria to the Syrian army under Russian oversight.
Israeli officers were handed the Syrian message on Thursday by the UNDOF commander, Maj Gen. Francis Vib-Sanziri of Ghana, who is henceforth responsible for monitoring implementation of the Helsinki deal.
According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, this Syrian message for the first time  forbids the Israeli air force and anti-air missile batteries shooting down Syrian aerial vehicles entering the air space over the buffer zones. On July 13, Israel shot down a Syrian drone entering the buffer zone. This is no longer permissible. Israel is even precluded from discovering if the intruder belongs to Iran or Hizballah, leaving both these hostile entities free to fly at will over Israel’s Golan border.  Furthermore, Assad may have those flight painted with Syrian air force markings, just as he supplies Syrian military uniforms to disguise Hizballah and pro-Iranian Shiite militiamen.

...this is from debka....any other confirmation?

The Russian Defense Ministry said it thanked the Israeli army for destroying an Islamic State missile launcher that fired two rockets Wednesday that landed in the Sea of Galilee.

Former British Ambassador Peter Ford on White Helmets (and podcast)

https://t.co/EuoL9st2Yd

Peter Ford, who was Britain's ambassador to Syria 2003-2006, gave a scathing assesment of the work of Syria's 'White Helmets' organization and other aspects of Western countries' regime change project in Syria, in an audio interview.

'The White Helmets are jihadi auxiliaries. They are not, as claimed by themselves and their supporters...simple rescuers. They are not volunteers. They are paid professionals of disinformation.'

In the interview, Ford also warned that the White Helmets were already preparing 'another staged chemical weapons incident in Idlib, the portion of northwestern Syria where, under a partial Turkish protection, the last remnants of all the country's jihadi fighting groups have been gathering..."

Is there a webpage where you can track the serial numbers of weapons the same way we can track our Canada Post shipments?

Do I need to see a serial number on the weapons, or what do I need to be able to do this independently?
