JohninMK wrote:As expected but good to hear anyway.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoi, chief of the Russian General Staff Main Operational Directorate, Russia is monitoring the situation in Mosul. There has been no evidence of the US-led coalition’s significant successes in liberating the city from the Daesh militants.

"The Russian Aerospace Forces are monitoring the situation on the Syria-Iraq border around the clock using drones and other reconnaissance devices. The Russian planes are on duty in the sky, ready for immediate strikes against terrorists," he told a briefing.

So much for watching Syria-Iraq border, NATO is moving in on Raqqa.

This is very bad, I bet NATO are going to annex East of the river for someone.

This is big blunder for Russia.

Assad regime strike kills 2 FSA fighters, injure 5 in n. Syria

Regime strikes won't stop Turkey's anti-Daesh fight, FM Çavuşoğlu says

Edit: Turkish Armed Forces and Turkey-backed Syrian opposition groups are preparing for a 2nd Tell Rifaat offensive. Also Turkish Armed Forces deployed some Atılgan Stinger Systems near South Marea for against any SyAAF air strike.

Can't see any potential problems here

WASHINGTON(Sputnik) — US forces are on the ground in Syria, equipping, advising, and training Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and partners for the operation to isolate and then retake the Daesh stronghold of Raqqa, Coalition Commander Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend said at a briefing Wednesday. “I will not talk about locations where our US forces are in Syria but they are there," Townsend stated. "They equip and train at various locations, and we have advise and assist teams that will accompany partner forces anywhere they fight Daesh."

On Tuesday, US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said that "capable, motivated" local Syrian forces would lead the offensive on the city. Raqqa operation is expected to overlap with the offensive to retake Iraq's Mosul, according to the Defense Department.

Which is going to do nothing at all over Syrian arispace. IF push comes to shove, the Russians are going to bomb the FSA if it moves towards Tell Rifaat.

The Syrian Democratic Forces are a bunch of armed head chopping militant/jihadists hired to overthrow the Syrian government, along with the Kurds.
They are most definitely not democratic, they intend to enforce their will at gun point.

If the US give them MANPADs they will be used against civilian aircraft in an act of terrorism, probably at Turkey.

Tell Rifaat is a problem for us, Because YPG is still moving to el-Bab.

It is a problem for SAA too, because FSA isn't going to stop at Tell Rifaat. It's going to open a second front for Aleppo. So?

Every country has a different problems. YPG is still moving to el-Bab and we dont want it in Turkey but it maybe different for Russia and Syria.

Russia and Syria think different from people in Turkey. You dont want the Free Syrian Army and I think You have right reasons about that. Turkey dont want YPG in Syria and We have right reasons so.

You don't have any "Right" to be in Syria, Syria is a sovereign Country and Turkey is invading it.
Those Kurds lived there for decades in peace in Syria until Erdogan began to arm ISIS to take land from Syria. Turkey is on Syria territory ,in an Illegal invasion of a sovereign nation and Syria have the right to fight back the invaders on their nations ,whenever it feels the time is right for that. Turkey have no right to move into another country and capture any territory with tanks with the pretext of "liberating it" . There are Kurds in IRANIAN border too ,Why Turkey does not invade IRAN? i guess you know the answer ,Chicken cowards like Turks will not invade a strong nation that its army is ready to fight back. Turkey is only taking advantage of Syria and IRAQ that they are busy fighting the terrorist that Erdogan for years support.

Erdogan the dictator and its army ,needs to get the hell out of Syria , period ...and stop supporting ISIS and Alqaeda that there is plenty of evidence of this. and any other terrorist group like the FSA.  Those Stinger missiles will be harmless to Russian airforce or Syrian one if they fly above 7km-8km altitude that is their limit of their range. and those Turkey and FSA tanks in Syria will be sitting ducks , to target practice for bombing ,in case they dare to start to fight the Syrian army in Syria. And all the gains of Turkey military rolled out back to their  border if Erdogan do something stupid again. Again TUrkey have no right to invade other sovereign countries under any pretext. Already Syria gave you an ultimatum to your warplanes
that will be shot down if enter again in Syria airspace. and Syria will not be using cheap stinger missiles ,but real Air Defenses ,that will blow up Turkey planes at any altitude they go over Syria territory.

Russia was invited by the Syrian government. Turkey is uninvited and illegally invading another sovereign country in the region.

It's exactly that. Two different agendas colliding. But at the end the FSA is going to be defeated and Kurds will find themselves sourrounded.

What a hateful message....

Turkish Republic doesn't invading force in Syria. Turkish Republic doesnt invade Syria. Because We don't need any new territory. If Kurds lives in peace in Syria, Why are YPG in Syria?

Also Baathist Iraq is a sovereign state but USA attacked Baathist Iraq in Gulf War and It Invaded Baathist Iraq in 2003. Saddam didnt call USA and USA didnt get permission from Saddam.

Ukraine an independent country. I think everyone knows what is going on in Ukraine now. Ukrania is a independent country and Russia is invading it. Russia created puppet state in Ukrania. Name is Novorossiya and Russia annexed Crimea unilaterally.

Yes, Kurdish people lives in İran. Why Turkey does not invade İran? Because We don't have any problem with Kurdish People ''Who lives in Syria, İran, Iraq or Turkey. PKK or YPG doesnt represent the Kurds. Also Iran has a some problems with terrorist group. Called ''PJAK''. PJAK same with PKK and YPG. PJAK wants to establish Kurdish State in Iran called Iranian Kurdistan or Rojhilata( means ''East'' in Kurdish Language)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish_separatism_in_Iran
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93PJAK_conflict

Also Turkish Armed Forces bombed and attacked some PKK Camps in İran. These Camps near to Turkey-İran Border.

YPG wants to establish Kurdish State in Syria called Rojova(means ''West'' in Kurdish Language)

and PKK wants to establish Kurdish State in Turkey called Turkish Kurdistan or Bakur(means ''North'' in Kurdish Language)

All of these groups are same. These organizations are united under the name of KCK.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Communities_Union

Who is most support YPG in Syria? USA.

USA and its Kurdish partners wants to establish ''Terror State''. Called ''Greater Kurdistan''. They want to get land from Syria, İran and Turkey. They succeeded in Iraq and They created Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq.

-USA's To Do List for Greater Kurdistan Project-

First Stage
-Iraq (Completed %100)
Iraq was diveded
Kurdish State Established

Second Stage
-Syria (Completing %75)
Syria was divided
YPG is trying to establish a state in Syria.
USA supports YPG(PKK and PJAK) in Syria

Third Stage

Turkish-PKK Conflict

Fourth State

İran-PJAK Conflict

Now let's talk a bit about Coward Chickens. Turks fought against a lot of country in WW1 and Independence war. Turks fought against a lot of country in Gallipoli and we won. İf you wanna sea real coward chickens, Look at Iraq Army. They losed a lof equipment and soldier against Daesh. Iraq soldiers are fleeing and They are leaving the equipment.

And also Turkey doesn't support Daesh in Syria. Maybe Turkey supported Al-Nusra. But Daesh? I dont think so.
Yes, Turkey didnt get permission from the Syrian government. Also USA, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark and Australia didnt get permission from the Syrian goverment and they bombed Deir ez-Zor Airport in Deir ez-Zor. A lot of SAA soldier died in this bombardment. I think Syrian government should shot down aircraft of these countries before Turkey. Because Turkish Air Force didnt bomd any SAA Base in Syria.

And Also 2 or 3 day ago Turkish Air Force bombed some Daesh and YPG positions in Syria.

Don't mind him.

However it is easy, you can't pretend you're defending yourself from Kurds while you're dividing Syria.

Ukraine an independent country but a whole part of Ukraine didn't get a say in how this independent country got its government ousted. Don't compare what Turkey is doing to Syria, to what Russia did in Donbas. Turkey's government has been funding terrorism in Syria since the start of the war, the type of terrorists which behead you or kill you for supporting a legitimate government, or for not agreeing with Islam. Turkey's government has done no different than what the US and its allies have done to Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan. In Donbas you don't get your throat ripped open for being pro-Poroshenko or any religion. It's a defensive posture of a region where expansion is only sought in pro-Russian territories.

Just to give you some additional information. Russia did not 'annex' Krimu and Sevastopol. After the victors of Maidan in Kiev said they would come to this peninsula and 'make the streets run red with blood' we, operative being 'we', armed up and blocked the peninsula and all the Uke bases. We then held a referendum, actually two separate referendums, one in Sevastopol and one in Krimea, and the result of both was independence from Ukraine. After the referendum it was decided to ask Russia for entry, in other words the populace wanted to go home to Russia.
