Irrelevant anyway because this thread is not all Americans so American whataboutism is dumb as poo poo since everyone here agrees America is already barbaric in it's treatment of various groups.

It looks like things are heating up between Turkey and Damascus: Turkey reinforced their observation posts in Idlib recently, and in the last 24 hours someone shelled one of them, wounding Turkish soldiers and killing at least one. Turkey says the shells were fired from SAA-controlled areas:

https://twitter.com/tcsavunma/status/1144334368334385152

I've read posts on the /r/syriancivilwar in previous weeks saying that the Turkish post that was shelled is in a really strategically important spot: the SAA/NDF forces that have taken losses trying to push into Idlib probably want very badly to see the Turks leave

There's a tweet on syria.liveuamap saying another Turkish post in Idlib is being shelled now

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/06/libya-gna-allied-forces-claim-retake-key-town-haftar-190626204224514.html

'Big loss': Libya's UN-recognised government retakes key town posted:

Forces allied to Libya's UN-recognised government have retaken Gharyan, a strategic town south of the capital, Tripoli - a claim initially denied by forces loyal to renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar.

Gharyan is the main forward base for the eastern-based Libya National Army (LNA) under Haftar which has been fighting to take control of Tripoli for almost three months.

Most of Haftar's supplies were going through this town, and it sounds like most of the local militias defected away to the GNA. Without the town his campaign against Tripoli is almost certainly over. Hundreds died and thousands were displaced and all for nothing.

Hopefully this will increase pressure for him to form a unity government, although there's no way anybody will ever trust him again.

Edit: ALSO, taken from some twitter feed, the GNA shared a bunch of pictures of drones captured from the LNA. Can anybody identify who made them? I'm betting they are French.



edit2: take that back, I'm pretty sure these came from the UAE, compare with this model:
