Obama's military advisors are now trying to get approval to mop up another "nation building" mess they created in "oil rich" Libya after the US and it's UN allies helped to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi and dismantle his government. This in turn left a power vacuum in which ISIS is now filling. DOH!

Saudi Arabia can't even field an army to war against Yemen next door, much less Syria. They have to hire mercenaries from all over the world to do their fighting in Yemen and their own country. Their soldiers are already in Syria (Alqueda, ISIS).
There are two cauldrons getting ready to close in northern Aleppo. Once that's done, game over for the Islamists there. The supply route from Turkey has already been cut.

The whole motivation of the US seems to be getting rid of Assad, and has been for years. Another motivation now for the US and it's European allies is to try to stop the massive migrant flow. Not that they really care for the innocents, but that they just don't want them flooding into their countries. I think the US is just using Turkey and the Saudis to do it's dirty work in Syria under the guise of fighting terrorism. What will be interesting to see, is if Turkey will try to enter in and defend Aleppo from being taken by Assad forces.
If they do, I don't believe Russia will hesitate to bomb them. After all, Russia still has a chip on it's shoulder over the downing of their jet by Turkey. It will be interesting to see how this proxy war plays out, and who will blink first when push comes to shove.

"The five-year Syrian civil war, faces its most critical moment. Saturday, Feb. 6, a combined force of Syrian army and Hizballah troops and an Iraqi Shiite militia under Iranian officers, were led by Russian air and Spetsnaz (special forces) officers into pressing forward to encircle 35,000 rebels trapped in Aleppo, the country’s largest city. "
"Rebel supply routes were cut off Thursday and Friday when Syrian and Hizballah forces captured the Azaz Corridor connecting Aleppo and all of the northern province of Idlib to the Turkish border."

Well been following South Front still for Syria news. Suppose I'll post this month's update.

Seems the Kurds are making significant gains against the Islamic State and according to South Front will begin a major offensive. The Syrian Government forces are continuing the push to encircle and recapture Aleppo. Assad and Russian forces have almost liberated Latakia and the disparate rebel factions have been suffering major defeats. It seems parts of the disparate rebel forces are beginning to ally with the Islamic State though, so this may continue for a while should they consolidate their forces.
Also not mentioned in this video, but one I've been watching is that a lil over a month ago when Russia first jumped in Assad's forces made a three prong assault. One of the armies in the prongs got cut off deep in Islamic State territory near Deir Ezzor. They have been holding out in that area for at least a month. I don't have much information on this though, very interested if anyone does. Not a fan of Assad, but I do hope this army will endure or be able to break free as they are isolated deep inside Islamic State territory.

I am sorry to hear about the massacres, Syria is tragic enough. I am glad to hear this army has been holding on though. Even if they capture Deir Ezzor though, if one simply looks at the map they are cut off and surrounded deep inside Islamic State territory. I can indeed imagine that the battle is hard pressed on them. I suppose the Russian air support is what is helping keeping them supplied and helped by the air, but I am still somewhat concerned with them being so isolated by ground. Definitely one of the Syrian fronts I am keeping an eye on.
The world is all ready nigh unbearable. Sure their armies have authority to fight. Don't mean they need to massacre people like the pagans do though.
Okay to be clear here. When you say massacre and slaughter, are you meaning like they are capturing them and then summarily executing them, or do you mean simply they are beating the tar out of them in the field of battle?
