    Palmyra liberated!

    Great news, I don't think that they will be dumb enough to lose it for a third time. The V Corps regrouped by Russia and Iran marched over daesh quite easily. The first pics of the freed archaeological site:

    I thought he was either Scottish or a Confederate, but thanks for clearing that up.

    I've been observing this flag for close on three years now.

    Meanwhile Kurds yield what they have gained to Assad. To avoid an encounter with the Turks?

    To Syria, not Assad, and yes, they want the Syrian Army as a buffer-zone.
    There are even talks of giving Manbij to Syria, but I doubt it.

    While Assad was officially at power they carved a "state" of their own for themselves. Now they relinquish a part of it to Assad back. But they were and are ostensibly a part of Syria.

    Kurdish took that area from Isis control, not from Assad regime.

    At this moment Turkish backed militias are clashing with YPG at the area, so their concern is quite realistic. With this attack against the Kurds. Turkey is only playing at the hand of Isis, because i doubt Kurds are going to continue their push against Raqqa while being attacked themselves by the so called "Euphrates shield" forces.
