Fighting a civil war. What I was trying to say is that the whole thing is a giant clusterfuck and the syrian people - civilians, women and children) are those that have been getting hosed for a decade now. From everyone.

I think Syrian commanders might be frustrated but the Russians are still proving to be more useful allies to them than the Soviets were

I say as someone who wishes the Soviet Union never fell

the lack of Russian activity ever since the strike that started all of this has been really strange and it's making me wonder what exactly they're planning.

there has been a disputed report of a single Russian airstrike on another Turkish position a few hours ago, with Turkey claiming that it was actually Syrian artillery. While obviously Turkish sources lie about poo poo all the time, in this particular case I'm inclined to believe them, because it'd be weird as hell for the Russians to react to all this poo poo with one small strike on a relatively minor target.

I wish the Russians did what they did during a Ukrainian offensive in Donbas once, where they rolled up two Mechanized Battalions in about 10 minutes with MRLS fire.

The Navy tried to let people know there is such a thing as too much war crimes and proposed to demote this guy for a couple months, but that was too much for Trump. Then they proposed taking away one piece of his flare, so Trump stepped in and took away flare from the prosecutors. Man, imagine feeling that the loss of a pin essentially ends your life.

Are the SEALs just very good at PR? I don’t understand how what started as an underwater demolition team became the world’s most famous group of war criminals.

The center right government here in Greece has projected in all possible terms that the borders are closed and "invaders" won't come in.
Tomorrow, the army and navy has publicly announced live fire exercises both in Evros and in the sea.
The media here is playing non stop propaganda style videos of Turks helping criminals to pass the border

Yes, my government is going to kill a lot of people this time. Here in Athens, Anarchists and unions, left organizations and some ngos are trying to mobilize for a demonstration tomorrow. I don't think we will be able to do anything concrete to help those people tho.
