While the Syrian Arab Army backed by allied forces is conducting a successful counter-terrorism operation along the Euphrates River, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham continues to strengthen in the south of the province of Idlib. And furthermore, the militants intend to become 'moderate opposition'.

Jim W. Dean - The last month has seen a shift in the progress of the war that even the most stalwart anti-Assad powers, like the Saudis, can no longer deny. Putin just signed the formal Russian legislative papers on the 50-year rights to its current bases in Syria

Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces and tribal forces fighters have liberated Jabir, Numaysah, Khamisiyah and Wadi Susah near the important ISIS-held town of Maadan in the province of Raqqah.

Jonas Alexis - The US still wants to play the cat-and-mouse game when it comes to placing more sanctions on Russia. US officials continue to live in a fantasy world and espouse the proverbial belief that Russia is the worst enemy of the United States.

Jim W. Dean - I expected these "defeat" articles to pop up quickly with the publication of the Pentagon stating it would no longer support opposition groups that were not fighting ISIS.

Special Operations Command chief Army General Raymond Thomas: "We're a bad day away from the Russians saying, 'Why are you still in Syria, U.S.?’ If the Russians play that card, we could want to stay and have no ability to do it.”

Syrian government forces, backed up by the Russian Aerospace Forces, have liberated the village of Baghliyah and nearby hills from ISIS terrorist sin the eastern Homs countryside.

Jim W. Dean - I had earlier suspected that one of the reasons that Damascus could have had for allowing the jihadis to exit the Damascus area to Idlib was that once there they would begin fighting over resources and control of milking the population.

A US special operations commander has admitted that an extended US stay in Syria runs contrary to international law and that Russia would be entirely justified in questioning its presence there.

It has been reported that “Trump ends covert CIA program to arm anti-Assad rebels in Syria." This would be a devastating attack on the Israeli regime.

Phil Butler explains: The Real Winner of the Arab Spring: The changes wrought by the Arab Spring are likely to be of long-term benefit to Israel. The EU is sinking under austerity and added pressure from the refugee crisis, and somehow nobody looks at who is benefitting? If there is any real justice in the world, then Israel’s role in all these conflicts will be revealed.

Government forces have captured a major part of the al-Haid gas fields and now are attempting to secure the area from ISIS attacks.

Jim W. Dean - I must admit I was teased a bit with yesterday's reporting that Israel was on board the south Syria ceasefire. It made practical sense in that, if the others complied and Israel continued on with its usual "we will attack anywhere, any time, for any reason we choose" foreign policy, it would make them look like fools.

Jerusalem Post: “Israel has opened its borders with Syria in order to provide medical treatment to Nusra Front and al-Qaida fighters wounded in the ongoing civil war…”

Jim W. Dean - The most recent "planned" Syrian chemical weapons attack scam was so obvious, so openly organized, as to show that the Deep State actors have no concern whatsoever about public reaction or any political blowback.

“[Assad] opened the country up to foreign trade, to tourism within the country and from abroad, to freedom of movement and of education for both men and women.
