Wait, they will keep them in the same place? Like with live ammo and all that?

Will audience pay extra for kevlar or does it come included with ticket price?  

Ramil Sahib oglu Safarov is an officer of the Azerbaijani Army who was convicted of the 2004 murder of Armenian Army Lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan. During a NATO-sponsored training seminar in Budapest, Safarov broke into Margaryan's dormitory room at night and axed him to death while Margaryan was asleep.

Russia may deploy Special Operations Forces servicemen in order to support Syrian government forces advancing along the border in southeastern Syria, according to various pro-government media sources. Some media outlets even argued that Moscow had already deployed its servicemen in the area, but failed to provide any evidence of this.

The Russian Special Operations Forces actively operate across in central, western and northern Syria supporting operations against ISIS and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) terrorists.

If it’s confirmed that Russian military servicemen are embeded with pro-government fighters during the advance on al-Tanf, it will mean that Moscow has decided providing a direct support to Damascus and Tehran in their joint attempt to push US-led forces away from the borders with Jordan and Iraq.

I'm curious about how this will unfold, with US special forces at Al-Tanf, I'd guess that they will have to fight each other (Russian SOF vs US SF) if they would be deployed there.

Idiotic idea. Risking even one Russian life for that desert shithole is unacceptable especially when you have Iranians who are trying to profit off of it while refusing to take any risks or contribute in any useful way.

And need I remind people yet again that Russia already hold all the real estate it needs in Syria? Rest of it is just gravy.

There is nothing of any value in the south and whole thing should have been shelved for last stage of the war when it would have been a non problem anyway.

As time passes it is becoming more and more obvious that Iran will be a massive problem for Russia in this region down the road. They are already actively sabotaging Russian military efforts and it is only a matter of time before they decide that they should officially take over.

Syria is now Russian proxy, not Iranian. Russia planned, invested, fought and won influence there. Iran is just sitting on the sidelines, sabotaging it's supposed allies and waiting for right opportunity to grab what does not belong to them and what they have no right to.

They are a massive liability and Russia need to be ready to send them all back to Tehran in body bags if need be. Iran already tried to depose Assad and install his brother in order to further their agenda. They were basically ready to carry out violent regime change the very same thing that USA is trying to do and one of main things that Russia is trying to prevent.

And here is another hint of Iranian loyalty:

Iranians or Saudis, different flavor of same excrement. At least Saudis are not cheap little bitches. 110 billion just yesterday. And people still blame USA for being buddies with them?

40 AHRAR AL-SHAM MILITANTS KILLED IN DOUBLE-TAP SUICIDE BOMBING IN IDLIB

40 fighters of the Ahrar al-Sham militant group, including some commanders, were killed and more than 150 other wounded in a double-tap suicide attack that targeted its headquarters in the village of Tal al-Touqan in the eastern Idlib countryside.

Initially, a suicide bomber targeted a Ahrar al-Sham commanders meeting at the headquarters. Minutes after the first explosion, a motorcycle exploded at the entrance to the headquarters.

According to local sources, Egyptian commanders of Ahrar al-Sham were among the killed. In 2016, the Egyptian Intelligence accused the movement of training terrorist elements in Sudan with the aim of launching terrorist operations inside Egypt.

It is believed that Ali al-Omar “Abu Ammar,” the leader of Ahrar al-Sham was attending the meeting, but he was not killed or this has at least not been announced so far.

On Twitter, the head of the judiciary in Ahrar al-Sham “Ahmad Muhammad Najib” accused ISIS organization of standing behind the suicide attack.

ISIS killed Hassan Abboud, the leader and founder of Ahrar al-Sham, with a similar attack on 9 September 2014.

Ahrar al-Sham is classified as a terrorist group by the Syrian government, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt, and some other countries.  The USA refuses to recongize it as a terrorist group.

They are compromising entire war effort in the final stretch.

That is what's ''wrong'' with me.

How are they compromising durig the final stretch? They have been sending their Special Forces and Soldiers, The recent gains prove this but the Russia has the bigger hand in the recent gains.

lycantrop wrote:

Russia did save Syria. Whatever Iran did was so incompetent and ineffective that Russia had to get involved.

Iran did all it could to save Syria, Iran was not incompetent and Iran did not have an Air Force that could save Syria and support from the air was needed.

lycantrop wrote:

When Syria was about to fall due in part to Iranian incompetence and failure to fully commit and perform.

Again this is not true, Iran does not have a Air Force or military strong as Russia's. Iran held the fort until Russia came in.

lycantrop wrote:

Keeping USA from tearing them to pieces (already forgot that naval blockade and last minute save?) and keeping Syria functioning trough financial, weapons and diplomatic support.

This is true, Russia did a lot of work behind closed doors and sent a lot of equipment to Syria, plus diplomatic support.

lycantrop wrote:

And got their asses handed to them by lowest AQ bidders USA could hire. Slow clap.

This is not true, right from the beginning, the terrorists were getting support from NATO, NATO Special Forces and live satellite photos from NATO, they were not the lowest.

lycantrop wrote:

Wrong. Without Russia Syria would not be on the map. And if Iran is still on the map in several years it will be because of Russia.

Syria without Iran and Russia both would not be on the map. Iran has been fine all this time(even when the invasion of the Middle East began, they did not directly attack Iran.)

lycantrop wrote:

I don't have to deal with jack shit here. Fact is that Iran will be in Syria as long as they are allowed. And they are doing their best to overstay their welcome.

What is Iran doing to "overstay their welcome? You are just so full of shit.

lycantrop wrote:

Iran is barely capable of achieving right to be in Iran. They either stop getting in the way, follow the program and become useful for a change or they can pack their shit and wait for USMC in Tehran.

Coup attempts against friendly proxy are not conductive to goal of not getting erased from existence.

The US had trouble in Iraq after it's invasion and this was part because Iran was arming and training groups to fight the US in Iraq, Iran has grown it's influence substantial over the years, Iran with the help of Russia and China got it's sanctions lifted to the dismay of the Zionists, Iran's economy will likely grow at least 2% per year. So your statement "Iran is barely capable of achieving right to be in Iran", is bullshit. The US could not invade Iran at the height of it's power in the Middle East and they are not going to do it now, when their power is diminishing.

Nords Stream 2, Turk Stream, diversification, and simple fact that Russia has massive economy other than petroleum. Do some reading. Russia already has everything it needs out of Syria. All that is left is to tie loose ends. Iran needs to make sure it does not make itself look like loose end.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

Reason why USA even gotten close to getting what they want is Syrian failure to follow Russian instructions for nearly a decade.

You never know what would have happened, does Syria wish know that it had followed Russian instructions, probably yes.

Terrorists will be around for plenty of time, this is Middle East.

Buffer zones are already plenty thick. Or did you forget that those bases are on the coast?

Remember, Republic of Latakia is always an option and lot more acceptable for most players involved.

Iranians should never overestimate their own importance because it could have vary painful side effects.

Terrorists will be around but their numbers need to be reduced in Syria.

The bases may be on the coast but the more thicker your buffer zones the better, the more territory you grab the better and their are probably oil and gas reserves in the desert, also the linking of the Syrian-Iraqi border is very important.

Again you do not provide any example of how Iran is "overestimating their own importance".

par far wrote:

Recent events like Iran instigated coup attempt, refusal to allow use of airstrip in Iran, confrontation between Russian and Iranian/Hezbollah troops?

These events show exactly the opposite of what you try to prove.
