I didn't see Paphitis in any of these videos but then the camera man was RT so he wasn't really there it was all filmed on a parking lot in Moscow. How stupid of me ........ Paphitis would be in HQ anyway directing operations on behalf of 'WE'!

His military knowledge and information sources would be invaluable?

But it seems at last the movement to drive out ISIL is getting well underway?

An interesting speech by President Assad:

President al-Assad: Our War On Terrorism Continues - We Will Liberate Every Inch Of Syria

Damascus, SANA – President Bashar al-Assad said that the Syrian people surprised the world with their unprecedented participation in the People’s Assembly elections, sending a clear message to the world that the greater the pressure gets, the more the Syrians commit to their sovereignty

His Excellency said that while this is not the first time he stands at the Assembly after a new parliament was elected, but this time is greatly different from the previous ones as these elections came amid great international and regional and political events and amid harsh internal circumstances that led some to expect the elections to fail or not be accomplished, or if accomplished, they would be boycotted completely by the citizens, or at best they would be met with indifference.

“But what happened was the opposite, as the Syrian people surprised the world once again with their wide participation in one of the important national and constitutional events,” President al-Assad said, adding “the unprecedented level of participation by voters to elect their representatives at the People’s Assembly was a clear message to the world that the greater the pressure gets, the stronger the Syrian people’s commitment to their independence becomes, and that the further others attempt to interfere in their affairs, they more they prove to be committed to the constitution as the defender of independence and the pillar of stability.

Erdogan is doing that, to his own people and the Syrians.

If that is true and I don't think it is true, then why do the a very large percentage of the people when given the opportunity, vote for a man that kills children. bombs hospitals, bombs schools, murders the civilian population, starves them, tortures the people, deliberately drops barrel bombs on civilians and murders his people with chemical weapons like Sarin? It just does not make sense, it is totally and completely illogical. It would serve absolutely no purpose and would do his cause no good at all, in fact just the opposite. We are not being told the truth nor given the facts.

In any war civilians will get killed, even more so in modern warfare against terrorists and there are no such things as good, moderate or bad terrorists. They are terrorists and kill people without compassion and even post videos showing the deeds to the world.

When you look into all these claims virtually all of them are later proved to be wrong or there is some explanation. If it's the coalition that makes a mistake and kills civilians it is down played (of just denied and accepted) if it happens to be Assad or the Russians than it makes the headlines for 24 hrs, and a single headline is all some people need to convince them, but the media never print retractions a few days later when the real stories start coming out. Those stories you need to look for.

Turkey commanding Daesh near Syria’s Aleppo: Russia




Russia says Turkey’s military advisers are commanding Daesh terrorists operating around Syria’s northwestern city of Aleppo, which has been the scene of fierce fighting over the past few weeks.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters on Friday that up to 2,000 militants are taking part in the Aleppo battle based on mass media reports.

“Journalists say Turkey’s military advisers are commanding them,” she said.

An intensive traffic of trucks accompanied with armed guards was spotted in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib while “carrying weapons and ammunition” from Turkey, Zakharova added.

“This looks like another stab in the back of the Syrian army,” she stated.
Zakharova further said al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front terrorists have launched another offensive against Syrian army positions to the north and south of Aleppo in a bid to surround the area.

She said the situation in Syria remains tense, with “provocations” continuing in breach of a ceasefire regime in the Arab country.

The nationwide cessation of hostilities, brokered by Moscow and Washington, was introduced in February, but renewed violence, particularly around Aleppo, has left the truce in tatters.

Meanwhile, a Russian ceasefire monitoring center in Syria said that constant attacks on government-controlled regions indicate that militants have abundant ammunition.

“The frequent attacks and mortar shelling show that terrorists have no shortage of ammunition and have a possibility to supply them with arms and ammunition,” said a representative of the center.

Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed the need for stopping the flow of terrorists and weapons to Syria via Turkey.

Turkey is said to be among the main supporters of the militant groups active in Syria, with reports saying that Ankara actively trains and arms the Takfiri elements there and facilitates their safe passage into the violence-wracked state.

Syria has been the scene of a foreign-backed crisis since March 2011. According to a February report by the Syrian Center for Policy Research, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 470,000 people in total since March 2011.

The United Nations has stopped counting the death toll in Syria, citing widespread violence across the country as well as complexities in checking the credibility of the statistics provided by the government and other sources.

The Amnesty International report also helps clarify a twisted and dangerous misunderstanding about conditions in Aleppo and Idlib, and what it might mean for the course of the war. As Al-Monitor wrote in January, “Aleppo, which is mostly Sunni, was sold a sectarian bill of goods by the opposition. And it has been a disaster for the people of Aleppo. The Syrian government’s barrel bombs and relentless sieges added to an unbearable existence. … If the Syrian army, backed by its Iranian and Russian allies, retakes Aleppo, the city’s liberation will come by directly defeating terrorists and armed groups that are already deserting the battlefield. A government victory would be of a different order and have a different impact than the negotiated departures of besieged armed opposition forces in Homs and around Damascus. The people of Aleppo would experience a flat-out victory by the government and a defeat, and exodus, by the armed groups. A good question is whether the Syrian army would be received as liberators by those Syrians, including Sunnis, freed from the reign of Islamic law and armed gangs. The answer might surprise … a Syrian government victory in Aleppo could be the beginning of the end of the sectarian mindset that would have been alien to the city prior to 2011.”

In the reports I have seen where the Syrian Army has taken an area, the people welcome them with open arms and express nothing but gratitude to both Assad and Putin. But you won't find these reports on the MSM news reports. This worries the coalition because the people overwhelmingly support Assad as the President and that is definitely not their plan.

Kerry has given Assad until the 1st August to start a transition (US speak for ....."Assad must go") or else...... alhough he wasn't specific on what the 'else' was.

...Putin, Robin Hood, is a cleptocrat, if some good comes from his efforts, it is coincidental.

Men (and i use the term loosely) like Erdogan, and Trump would find much to emulate from him; i shutter to think how these three would shape the world to suit themselves.

I will say it again,

...while Russia, is our friend, Putin is not. It is no different for Turkey, Erdogan is not our friend, Turkey is. (The phrase, "Criminal Psychopath", comes to mind.)

...not one member of the opposition sworn in today by Assad, high hopes and transparency, he says, are this Government's priorities.
