Among the carnage in Idlib since the Russian jet was shot down, Kafr Nabl Surgical Hospital was hit by an airstrike, and it was a rare occasions where a direct hit on a hospital was caught on camera:

Turkey set up shop again in South Aleppo, and now seems to be clashing with the regime, or at least with Iranian backed militias supporting the regime (if there's any meaningful difference anymore).

Supposedly the Rojava Kurds have a large convoy heading for Afrin, which still seems insane to me as long as the TAF is allowed free use of the airspace over Afrin.

I look forward to Al Saqrs take on this recent development. No doubt the Kurds are in the wrong here for not simply lying down and letting Turkey and their takfiri mercenaries conduct the ethnic cleansing of Afrin.

Well, I took a break from following the Syrian civil war too closely about three years ago for despair-related reasons; and coming back to this thread, I have absolutely no idea what is going on anymore. So the rebels have lost, Iraq's settled down, Russia's pulling out, and the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Turkey have both gone a bit mad? Is that pretty much it? (What happened to that city where the rebels/Syrian army control map was a fractal spiral...?)

The good guys managed to completely encircle Al Qaeda and friends in Aleppo, and much to the disappointment of many in the west (this thread included) didn't end up massacring the entire population but instead agreed to a ceasefire and evacuation of occupied Aleppo to Idlib in exchange for allowing Shia civilians to evacuate from besieged Foua. This ceasefire was then violated by the rebels when the convoy of Shia civilians was bombed with a VBIED.

No one here wanted Aleppo to get devastated, but East Aleppo turned into a hellscape of rubble anyway. What the hell are you talking about?

Go back and read the constant posts about the inevitable genocide of East Aleppo once it became clear that Al Qaeda and friends were going to lose the battle.

Erdo sends his ambassador to whine about Sweden not taking a stand against "terrorist" Kurds living in Afrin.

He is such a pathetic baby. Sadly our politicians will not point and laugh but rather either apologise or just ignore it.

Your government built literal lagers to murder and torture people from the other side of the world whose only crime was to come to your country looking for a better life. You are in no position to criticize others.

You are not opposing american imperialism. You don't hate it. You thrive on it.

UD cancelled/post-ponded Margot Wallströms visit to Turkey. According to sources who talked with Sveriges Radio Ekot this is because of the turkish offensive. That is probably as much stance taking you get from Sweden, pointing and laughing really isnt something we do.
