Aleppo

[BjornP]

Citizens (or rapefugees as they are known here) always lose. Hard to find a winner in this war.

There are no rapefugees in Aleppo.

Likely no one in Aleppo, but there were 6.6 million internally displaced refugees within Syria.

There are no rapefugees in Aleppo.

There are almost no people left in Aleppo, fled or dead that is what an Aleppo is.
Leave all that tired rapefugee bollocks back in the DCF, this is the new world.
Spouting nonsense about cowards and traitors isn't going to get you un-cucked by your Alt-right buddies.

This ain't the A Shau Valley, this is the opposite of that, Dong Ap Bia was a feature which could be dug in on, impervious to firepower, and no way to deploy armour up the hill, with only one landing zone for the American helos to come in on, the Russians don't have these problems in Aleppo.

Monty should hope Aleppo is as decisive for Assad as Hama was for his father and uncle.

So basically Assad vs Rebels...

How does this go down geo-politically at this point?

Who is backing these particular rebels?

Well, according to the media:

Russia has Assad's back.

Technically we had a rebel faction, like two years ago, and they all got killed. So no one is with the rebels. They are not ISIS but I still wouldn't hold my breath that if they do make it out alive they may become radicalized in the aftermath of this civil war.

Assad's got Daesh problems on another front; IS just took Palmyra back.

Aleppo is FSA, they're an easy mark, Daesh, not so much.

Oh, yeah there is them to worry about but Russia seems to have Assad's back during this time but we really wanted to use this civil war to overthrow Assad and place a much more friendlier US government and also to either contain and/or destroy ISIS.

Let the Russians pound away at them, when your enemies are fighting each other; don't get in their way.

No, he's not your friend, but so long as they are fighting each other, they ain't fighting you, so then you can enjoy the holiday season in peace and quiet, while they pound the shit out of each other for a worthless patch of sand in the middle of worthlessville.

That and the set up to blame President Trump and let Obama off the hook.

I think that pretty much sums up MSM interest in Aleppo, hell all of Syria. They have run al the bullshit they could on Trump and none of it took. Electoral College revolt? Nope. Recount in certain states? Helped Trump with more votes and exposed Democratic stronghold shenanigas. Made fun of Secretary choices? Everyone but die hards blew them off. Russian hacking the election? Republicans blew it off and now Dems are scrambling to show anything (besides hacked Hillary/DNC emails).

So what is left? Bring up Syria again. Syria is Obama's shit stain in his legacy. His lack of will to fully involve US forces in Syria once he made the moronic move to get us involved at all in another countries internal matter got us ISIS and corresponding terror attacks in Europe and the homeland. Now, they are going to dump this flaming turd into Trumps lap and whine that he hasn't imediately fixed their 5 year fuck up.
