Add to that, the article is of course only on Iraq, not syria. But we all know they will use them in Syria.  Hopefully they will be bombed.

I hope it is not but what a coincidence French A/C was heading to Persian Gulf...

100k so maybe Iran and Syria to be attacked? just to either fend off Russia or better to involve in war with terrorists from Saudis and Qatar.

I hope pissing china with Uygurs will take its toll by Chinese troops sent to Syria.

100K American troops? In Iraq?

I had no idea jihadists celebrate Christmas but it looks like Santa McCain will bring them many gifts this season. They must have been good boys....

Maybe we should invest some money into coffin and US flags industry if this is true?

Its 10k US plus 90K Gulf troops. The vassals haven't been doing enough. They need to splill blood as well as buy gear to be a real ally of Uncle Sam.

So far, the JAN counteroffensive has stalled over the last few days, while the SAA front is slowly creeping forward on both the flanks of the JAN offensive, notably at Zaytan and into Zorbah. Despite their successes with the wide offensive early on, JAN has switched to going all in at Al Eis, which is the SAA's heaviest line. They don't have much choice in the matter, if they lose this battle the SAA will be at the east gates of Idlib and Saraqib as this cluster along the M-5 highway is literally the last stop before the two cities. The SAA's Hub is at Al Hader, and Al Eis has a few strategic hilltops, which are few and far between in this area. IMO this is why JAN are so keen on taking it.

The SAA allies once again flee. No trenches, no proper defence, lack of ATGMs and RPGs. It looks like they got outflanked, as some trenches are built but not from the direction the tank assaulted them.

There were literally less than ten guys in that hamlet. Unless you drop Alpha, Seals, SAS, OMFGBBQ operators, they had less chance to defend that hamlet, than I to score Miss Universe tonight.
Once again the rolling tincans pull the same idiotic shit, and this time they get stuck in soft ground. It's sad that the guys don't have the cojones to stand as the actual VisCon for the tank isn't the primary sight, but the drone.

Also very poor tactical situation of that tank, it stops behind the firt housing block while not knowing what's behind it. That was asking for a shot in the face.  Alas, the militias were too busy trying to haul ass. Once again, the guys want to GTFO but fail to understand that overwatch will have them spotted and the T-72 mow then down in the open. FFS, this is beyond sadness.

This was quite patethic. Give me one company made of common conscripts that served in any "special purpose" unit in Serbian army last 10 years id be able to defend this position till Jesus comes back to Earth to do his Doomsday thingie.

No roadblocks, no anti tank trenches, no mines, no fortifications, no spotters, no improvised highgrounds, no observation posts... I know they are few in numbers here, but its not like they did anything to improve their chances whatsoever.

With a company sized force with basic skills, that assault becomes and ambush.

The tactical situation of the village is good and the idiots with the tank do again their stupid shit, Nota bene, this is a new tank and they don't use the cannon even at range...no ammo.

They are literally horrible in this video, both sides actually. But seems here works old Qui audet adipiscitur - Who dares wins.

I'm pretty sure that the insurgents, even if they loose in their offensives against SAA in SW Aleppo they will have won time. In this one week that SAA drive has been stalled, precious supplies and hundreds of fighters have crossed from Turkey.

It won't be easy at all to reach, let alone capture and keep places like Saraqib. These couple of weeks have proved that SAA and their allies are not more capable that the insurgents, if at all. We can attribute that to bad training, terrible supply lines, bad intel and lack of kit.

Would be very dangerous situation - west Iraq is good location for US
a) besides problems with Bosporus logistics routes over Iraq is shut
b) shutting communication/logistical routes for Iranians
c) having large army of terrorist kingdoms and safe breeding ground for monsters called moderate opposition.

Mind words of McCain about "real costs" for Russia and Saudi FM: Assad must go either as part of political settlement or better due to military force.  Not to mention A/C Charles de gaule heading to Persian Gulf.

SO permanent bases close to Iran and Russia, breeding terrorists and who knows maybe Us is so desperate to tery war with Russia?

Nearly 24 hours after withdrawing from the imperative town of Maheen, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) and National Defense Forces (NDF) of Sadad are back at the gates of nearby Hawareen following the redeployment of the Syrian Arab Army’s 120th Brigade of the 2nd Division to this rugged desert area in the Homs Governorate’s eastern countryside.

The night before, ISIS was able to capture two imperative hilltops and the Maheen-Quraytayn checkpoint that is situated along the main road leading to Maheen; this ultimately led to the terrorist group seizing the entire town after the withdrawal of the NDF and SSNP forces to the nearby Syriac Christian city of Sadad.

With ISIS in full control of Maheen on Thursday morning, the Syrian Arab Army’s 120th was redeployed to Sadad in order to lead the charge to recapture the town from ISIS before they had enough time to entrench themselves inside.

Following a series of intense firefights along the road to Sadad on Thursday afternoon, the Syrian Arab Army’s 120th Brigade – backed by the SSNP and the NDF – countered the terrorist group, recapturing several sites lost to ISIS the night before; this includes the Hawareen-Sadad checkpoint.

According to a military source with the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, the Syrian Armed Forces have entered the small village of Hawareen and currently pushing south towards the town of Maheen; this battle is currently ongoing.

Peaceful JAF/JAN/Al-Qaeda militia from South Aleppo. Notice how insanely flat this terrain is, and it spans all the way to Idlib. This is why I have been saying the more meat they throw at the SAA line in Al Eis the better. Russian CAS has carte blanche in these fields, and Al Nusra is highly depended on infantry.


Here's a short video from a Hezbollah UAV, showing a JAF tank getting hit by an ATGM on the S Aleppo front.

Along with IGIL, Washington has another terrorist tool. Turkish neo-fascist group Gay Wolves, part of a network of "Gladio", under the control of the CIA and NATO, is rooted in the national division of the SS Third Reich. Details — in the material Veronika Krasheninnikova.

And if all those suni ''allies'' just show up n Iraq...oh boy, holy war here we come...

As for Bosporus, that thing stays open, Turkey is alredy in deep sh*t as it is, if Sultan Doggie keeps pushing it Turks will remember 1910's as the good old days.
