Nitrousoxide posted:Why aren't the Israelis supporting the rebels? I mean a lot of them are Islamists but surely they don't want Assad in charge either. Despite the rhetoric from Assad. The Israel-Syrian border has been quiet for a long time. Assad falling risks Islamist groups turning their weapons on Israel and firing rockets over the border. I think the Israelis prefer the conflict to drag on as long as possible and leave everyone in a weak state. Friendly Humour posted:Because they don't give a gently caress and they got their own genocide to busy themselves with? Assad signed a peace treaty with Israel, which is a lot more than can be said for most of Israel's neighbours. Then again, he is allied with Iran so who knows. Maybe they just don't want none of that mess on their hands. The Assad's rhetoric has always been anti-Israel since Israel occupies the Golan Heights.

Volkerball posted:Very fascinating article that serves as a sort of state of the union of the regime, and the best I've seen describing the system of fragile alliances that have developed as the regime has become increasingly dependent upon fighting forces that operate outside of the government's command structure. This is a very good and interesting read. One news article I found says the Tiger Force is being redeployed to the Hama front due to the recent losses. The regime seems to be stretched very thin. https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/tiger-forces-redeploy-hama-stop-jihadist-offensive/

Republicans back tough Iran line; Trump says nothing off tablequote:Senior U.S. congressional Republicans said on Thursday they would support new sanctions on Iran, and President Donald Trump said "nothing is off the table" in dealing with Tehran in the wake of its test-firing of a ballistic missile. quote:Congressional aides said Trump's administration had already begun looking at actions it could take without waiting for Congress. For example, Trump could impose sanctions authorized by laws passed but not put into effect by the Obama administration, which reached the agreement between Iran, the United States and other world powers. So the Republican Congress is trying to walk some sorta tightrope where they can sanction Iran without destroying the nuclear deal, but I don't see how they can square that round hole. I also don't see the EU, Russia, or China joining the US in a renewed round of sanctions.

Charliegrs posted:1000 more can't possibly be all spec ops can it? And 1000 can't be more artillery troops can it? I'm truly curious what these role these soldiers will play. As per the article: quote:There are already in Syria about 500 U.S. Special Operations forces operating alongside the SDF, in addition to about 250 Rangers and 200 Marines. The new U.S. troops, if approved, would probably come from parts of both the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit — a flotilla of ships loaded with 2,200 Marines that is now steaming toward the region — and the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, of which 2,500 recently arrived in Kuwait. These conventional troops would supplement the Special Operations forces already on the ground and operate much like their counterparts fighting in the Iraqi city of Mosul.
