SO LONG, SPACE COWBOYSRecent news:Keep in mind the previous thread lasted months, so these events are separated by weeks.
Suwayda conflict basically freezes.
Minor clashes between SDF & STG.
STG attempts to capture Omar Omson, the leader of a French foreign Islamist faction accused of kidnapping women, at his base in Idlib countryside. They fail and come to a truce.
More clashes between SDF & STG.
Small anti-Alawite pogrom in Homs caused by the murder of two Sunnis there, despite STG investigation revealing that there was no sectarian motive to the murder.
Protests by Alawites in the coastal region in response to the pogrom. Multiple deaths among protestors, counter-protestors and STG security forces.
Multiple deaths among US soldiers during a joint STG-US patrol in Palmyra. The attacker infiltrated and was a part of the STG's MoI and was with the patrol.
The STG-SDF conflict escalates. SDF agrees to withdraw from Deir Hafer in exchange for a ceasefire, but the STG & tribal auxiliaries keep advancing despite the ceasefire. Revolts by Arab tribes inside of the SDF and them losing a lot of territory makes them sign an integration agreement that basically amounts to capitulation.

Everyone who doubted Tankanon should commit seppuku.
westoids keep seeing reactionaries everywhere but they conveniently forgot the greatest reactionaries of our time: ISIS.
Impressive how quickly all the well-documented atrocity porn of ISIS was swept under the carpet.
Remember comrades, never trust a Sunni
>>2656754Fighting against Assad or Isis-government makes no difference.
>>2656765Turks and Sunnisludge Arabs are no different from Zionists and Nazis with belief in racial supremacy and subhuman cruelty.
I will never agitate for them ever again, I spit on them.
>>2656639It means Syrian Transitional Government
>>2656771I have been saying for a long time that Sunnis and Zionists deserve each other.
Siblings of the same inbred semitic retarded branch of humanity. The ugly ducklings of humanity.
The Sunnis have instrumentalised the Palestinian cause to shield themselves from any criticism. I had anons here saying if I criticise Sunnis ANYWHERE in the world, I am a Zionist.
>>2656663We can't speak as a whole, I know many palestinians that are anti-Julani
>>2656787Kill all Turks before that.
IT FUCKING HAPPENED. AL-HOL HAS BEEN BREACHED AND A GOOD CHUNK OF THE PEOPLE INSIDE ESCAPED
Syria (and possibly neighbouring countries) are fucking doomed dawg.
>>2656787No way they left out the Zionist Entity lmao
>>2656807It's women and 4 year olds dawg
>>2656810Not completely wrong, but there are some areas of the camp with adult male veterans, and these are the most likely to escape and successfully evade re-capture.
Either way, we already had multiple prisons filled only with fighters breaching, so whatever shit's fucked.
>>2656812Yeah the other breaches are significantly more dangerous. This one is just kinda sad, I doubt the women and children have anywhere to go anyway. It's more of a refugee camp than a prison.
>>2656813The problem for me is that I thought only a few prisons/camps would get breached and the STG would mostly clean up the mess.
Instead, so far we're only getting the absolute worst case scenario where everything gets breached and the STG seems too incompetent to re-detain most escapees.
Literally the only thing left is the Aqtan prison and the infamous Hasakah one. That's it. Everything else was breached.
What are the demographics of r/syriancivilwar?
I always thought they were western libs and think tank mods who would shy away from explicitly defending Jihadists and supported the SDF but apparently not.
>>2656819Don't use plebbit, uygha. It's always late by a few hours or so.
Use a combination of Telegram and select Xitter accounts.
>>2656819>>2656820fuck beat them back.
Take subreddits for PRO-SDF then.
Be BOLD AND AGGRESSIVE in information front.
https://xcancel.com/ajaltamimi/status/2013594458541969705Post is roughly from an hour ago, so maybe the STG did take control over the camp by now.
Regardless, there was a window of time where absolutely no one was guarding it and also ISIS sympathisers seemed to have reached it first. Grim.
>SDF: We left Al-Hol camp due to the world's indifference
>>2656831They always never liked watching over 25K-50K mentally ill and scarred people without that much aid from international organisations.
Al-aqtan prison north of Raqqa is being attacked by the STG again.
>>2656712Why do you want to see gore? Why do you want to humiliate the victims further? The ones recording and sharing without censorship are the perpetrators.
This is an intertimperialist conflict.
>>2656866obligatory OLLAHOOAKBARING hahahahahahhahahahahha
>>2656210"Autonomy" is an extremely broad concept Anon. American states have a relatively high degree of autonomy as outlined by the US Constitution, including their own state constitutions, the power to set their own criminal laws, and even state military forces that answer to state governors. Does this make US states de-facto independent? Is America a Balkanized country? By comparison Canadian provinces have a lower degree of autonomy, without the power to make their own criminal codes or their own military forces but authority over other areas like natural resources, health and education policy, etc. Autonomy can exist to a higher or lower degree depending on the precise powers portioned out to different levels of government by a country's constitution. In other words, a call for autonomy is not the same as a call for de facto independence, since this would depend on its precise content.
>>2656748>>2656749>>2656839look at all those burkas. long time no see. all these years, these people were waiting there, for the their headCHUDppers.
>>2656896giving Kurds an autonomous region could have worked against the state of Syria in the long run. don't play dumb in not knowing that Kurds want to form a state in the historical region of Kurdistan now.
Kurds will never get their own state apparently since the historical epoch of national liberation has passed. Kurds missed the train of national liberation, or something
>>2656933Or it could have worked for it by giving the Kurds a relationship with Damascus that they were comfortable with and supported. That's how states become successful, by bringing people into a ruling hegemony in which they have a stake and an interest in preserving. The reason why the YPG existed in the first place was because Kurds felt alienated by the policies and institutions of the Syrian state, that it didn't serve their interests, etc. The solution to that problem is to bring them into the fold, not berate them into compliance.
STG & SDF have approved some new agreement.
>>2656939no, they simply overplayed a hand they didn't have:
>>2656237 >>2656958Gets backstabbed anyways
Loses more land anyways
>>2656955yeah, sure sure. as if in the early 2010-2011-2012, when the first clashes occurred, many Kurdish politicians chanted 'Assad must go', and with the DAANES formed, the KNC worked close with the PYD, with the KNC participating in joint Kurdish conferences and joint statements with the AANES institutions
https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/383228.
it's absolutely foolish to believe that they wouldn't have used that against the Syrian state.
even so, if a referendum had happened, Syria would have rejected it. Assad never opposed that, Kurds simply knew they would have lost.
