They might be a US think tank but this a pretty good analysis of the tribal situation facing the US east of the Euphrates.

"GOVERNMENT FORCES RAPIDLY ADVANCING TOWARD STRATEGIC RESAFA TOWN IN RAQQAH PROVINCE."
https://southfront.org/government-forces-rapidly-advancing-toward-strategic-resafa-town-in-raqqah-province/
I don't know why they are using Chevrolet, Toyota and pick up trucks from NATO countries companies, they should be using Russian or Iranian companies, no need to support west companies.

Take a closer look at the video, they have some new pickups there from NATO countries, someone is paying for those(it is not the US, it is not the Saudi's or any other Gulf countries, it is not Israel), it is Russia, Iran or the Syrian government themselves, so who ever is paying for those, should buy form Russia or Iran, why support NATO countries companies?

It was so obvious.
As always the propaganda failed. And the propagandistis that failed, have not now an easy exit.
The propaganda was wrong about the Syrian-Kurd "war" near Tabqa.
The propaganda was wrong about the ISIS leaving to the US Raqqa.
The propaganda was wrong about Deir Ezzor.
Syria and Russia doing the obvious, are in a good position.
There are lots of things the propagandists, US and Israel are not understanding about the Kurds of Syria. The Kurds share not the goals of the US, Israel and their propagandists in the Syria.

Re: Syrian War: News #13
Make no mistake ...
Syria Army and Kurds are not are war , only because the Syrian army busy fighting ISIS.
But if you look at the zones controlled by Kurds in 2011 ,when the civil war began vs now.
You will see that the Kurds increased their territories control by One thousand percent.
They now control Half of Syria and a lot of oil fields and you bet the Syrian government will question that. And the kurds following americans advices will not return the lands they
captured.. So there is a potential war conflict there ,once ISIS defeated and Syria get controls everywhere else. Another potential war will be Syria vs Turkey for control of IDLIB. So this is far from Over.. Russia do have a chance however to influence Turkey with economic pressure if they
refuse to abandon the place. And any new civil war in Turkey ,where he gets removed also have
a big chance of restoring relations between Turkey and Syria and Turkey remove their military
from Syria.
All said , Russia diplomacy and economic influence will play a major role in Syria in solving
diplomatically the conflict that will sooner or later happen between Kurds and Syria and between Turkey and Syria. If Trump manage to hold power and convince its pentagon to Abandon the Syrian project.. it will make things easier for Russia . and move towards ending
the war. the wild card will be Turkey . But really All that is needed to force Turkey out of Syria
will be to collapse its economy.. It will force them to retreat for being unable to finance its army..and if Trump is in power ,he will not support providing money to Turkey to continue the
invasion. In long terms ,that is 10 years more or less Syria have real chance to recover back
most of its land if manage to restore its economy and recruit new military to a decent size.

If you understand as new every thing under 10 years old, we see "new" trucks, but for sure Russia is not buying new civil trucks for Syria. No-one. American or not.

Re: Syrian War: News #13
These images are not about "damaged" tanks. These images are about tanks to be repaired in the plant in Homs for this purpose. After a time without work, one of the first things Russia did after begin its intervention in the war of Syria in 2015 was to reopen this plant. It was a reason for it. Nothing says that these tanks returned damaged from the frontline to include them this way in the previous comment. It is not clear that these tanks are all of Syrian oringin. And is likely that most of them only need minor reparations.
The previous comment is misleading.
Mixing sources for a bad result, and maybe with a bad purpose.

If the tanks need to be repaired then they are damaged....I assume you understand this concept. You can see battle damage on those tanks....Dude just no...I can SEE battle damage and you call others propagandists. Calm never calmed battle damage, did he? he just said the word "damage" and you assumed but again I can see battle damage on some of these thanks so yes some of these tanks have been damaged in combat.
Oh wait...I forgot! you know better than anyone else including Assad. You are a die-hard arm chair general ain't you?.

The oil fields and gas fields are a huge reason why Russia, the SAA and the allies are moving toward Southern Syria and Deir Ezzor and it is the same reason why the US badly wanted Southern Syria and Deir Ezzor.

Everything i post is checked and it's true.
No mixing of sources, you can see watermark of sputnik on every photo. If you were smart enough to go there and check for my claims you wouldn't blame me for some nonsense misleadings.
Only one that is misleading here is you. You are trying to blame me for propagandist. Probably for zionist spy or something like that from your imagination.

No doubt about it. Grabbing Libya's oil was one of the prime reasons for that regime change operation. Syria's oil and gas were
supposed to fall into NATO hands. And Iran was supposed to be isolated further.

This is why Gaddafi's son said that "Libya is like McDonald's to NATO". Getting a hold of Libyan Oil and Gas field was one of three main reasons that NATO attacked Libya, the other one's were to quash the gold-backed African currency that Libya wanted and the other one was to get a hold of Libya's gold. I just wish that Russia helped Libya, the same way it is helping Syria, Russia would have gained a trust worthy partner in Libya.

I remember back when Russia jumped into this thing that one of the big issues was SAA's refusal to evacuate damaged tanks in order to repair them. They just expected new ones to be gifted to them every time they fuck up and run. Russians had to beat the habit into them.
Good to see it finally paid off. Most of this is perfectly fixable, especially pre-T72 stuff.

Population comes first you nimrod. And even if oil is such a big deal you still need to control population centers in order to legitimately claim control of neighboring resources.
This is real life, not a video game. You don't get bonus point for Vespene gas.
