>It's another "writer, photographer, opinion journalist" who writes articles based on his twitter feed.
He regurgitates turkish MoD twitter talking points and adds no insight into anything. How do I know that? Because the newest talking point of turks on twitter is that given a few more days Assad's army would get deleted, but since Erdo really only wants to fight YPG in Syria (lol) he allowed Syria to ceasefire, to keep the land and even gave some more below M4. Even though Erdo is on record talking how Assad must go back to sochi lines or turks might march on Damascus like 1 day before operation Spring Shield and rebels lost Saraqeb and meme villages around it.
Bring an opinion of a military expert, or really an expert in anything, I'm always open to changing my opinion but I cannot help but cringe from these copypaste articles which are obsolete a week before they are published.

>In December 2019, Russian troops visited Raqqa. A video of the visit released by Russian state-owned broadcaster RT showed Russian soldiers handing out bags of goods stamped with the Russian and Syrian government flags and talking to crowds of children.
>According to Sallal al-Muftah, a member of the citizen journalist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, the Russian army visited the village of al-Assadia north of Raqqa, not the city itself.

>These reported violations have caused people to continue fleeing areas where the government has regained control.
>Fearing the consequences of a partial withdrawal of its main backer, the US, from Syria in October 2019, the SDF, which did not join the Syrian opposition in the civil war but has engaged in limited clashes with government forces, started talks with Damascus.

Stay positive please, I don't like hearing stuff like that
Do you want to talk about something? Maybe the reason behind your anger?
>SDF: 75% of residents of Deir Ez-Zor wanted by Assad
>A brigade commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)-linked Military Council in the eastern Syrian province of Deir Ez-Zor has stated that the group is prepared to fight the military of the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad if it enters the province
>in opposition to a deal of cooperation between the Kurdish groups and the regime.
>the commander stated that the Military Council knows that “more than 75% of the people of Deir Ez-Zor are wanted by the Assad regime, and that the entry of Assad’s forces into the eastern Euphrates will cause a catastrophe, so we will not allow them to enter, and we are ready to face Assad’s forces and the Iranian militias in case they thought or wanted to advance to the eastern Euphrates.”
>commander insisted that “We have weapons and equipment that can cover a large geographical area. There would be no negotiations with Assad regarding Deir Ez-Zor. We have our own decision and we will not compromise on Deir Ez-Zor.”
>He added that “Deir Ez-Zor Military Council has restructured itself and drawn up military plans to confront Assad’s forces in case they approached the eastern Euphrates, and the number of the military council members is constantly increasing.”
This is the Arab division of SDF. They are willing to split from SDF and start infighting with SDF if they make peace deal with Assad.
>U.S. military officers who fought in Syria say they are devastated and ashamed by Trump’s decision to abandon Kurdish-led forces.
>a group of U.S. soldiers set out on a routine patrol through Manbij, a Kurdish-held town in northern Syria.
>according to a U.S. Army officer on patrol that day
>thanking the U.S. service members for their support.
>“He took off his unit patch and gave it to me. It was the most emotional moment I’ve ever experienced,” said the officer, who fought alongside the SDF in the yearslong battle to defeat the Islamic State
> and is one of many retired and current service members who say they are devastated by Trump’s latest decision to withdraw troops from the border
>Seeing the group’s reaction to Trump’s tweet on the front lines in Manbij
>“was when I truly found out that the SDF were probably some of the most noble people I’d ever met.”
