Putin says Russian state did a great job shocker!Good article here on Putins summing up of the Russian operation in Syria . Knocks a great deal of the western narrative for 6 . For example, as regards the Russia being bankrupted nonsense..the entire Russian operation cost no more than 460 million dollars. Itself taken directly from the Russian military training budget so no additional expense was even incurred , and the experience gained immeasurable . Compared to the 5 and a half billion the yanks have already spent there .

Hopefully Palmyra is a turning point. The territory they control continues to shrink. They are losing finally.Syrian Army have chalked up a pretty important victory against IS in Palmyra , routing them from the city at long last . Seems the sites haven't been totally destroyed either . That victory means they can look at making a real push on the besieged city of Deir EzZor . That IS are throwing the kitchen sink at .
Finally? They've been losing all over the shop for the last year.Hopefully Palmyra is a turning point. The territory they control continues to shrink. They are losing finally.

The butcher of Baniyas, Mihrac Ural, has reportedly been killed by an Ahrar al-Sham mortar attack in rural Latakia.
The Turkish Alawite from Hatay province was head of the 'Syrian Resistance' Assad loyalist militia and was famously quoted saying he wanted to "cleanse" Banyas.
Over 400 civilians were killed in two massacres in Baniyas and Bayda in May 2013. Many of those killed were women and children, killed in summary executions, stabbed and set on fire.
Tonight he burns in hell.
Hopefully Palmyra is a turning point. The territory they control continues to shrink. They are losing finally.
President Bashar al-Assad said it would not be difficult to agree on a new Syrian government including opposition figures, but his opponents responded on Wednesday that no administration would be legitimate while he remained in office
President Bashar al-Assad said it would not be difficult to agree on a new Syrian government including opposition figures, but his opponents responded on Wednesday that no administration would be legitimate while he remained in office.
Assad, bolstered by military victory in the desert city of Palmyra, was quoted by Russia's RIA news agency as saying a new draft constitution could be ready in weeks and a government that included opposition, independents and loyalists could be agreed.
While the distribution of portfolios and other technical issues would need to be discussed at Geneva peace talks, which resume next month, "these are not difficult questions", Assad said.
Opposition negotiators immediately dismissed Assad's remarks, saying that a political settlement could be reached only by establishing a transitional body with full powers, not another government under Assad.
"What Bashar al-Assad is talking about has no relation to the political process," said George Sabra of the High Negotiations Committee.
Alloush said the opposition could not accept the Syrian president as part of the transitional body and added that “those with blood on their hands can have no part in a reconstituted Syrian army”.
Precisely. This has always been the opposition's position pretty much ever since unarmed protesters were shot by regime troops. The quote below is from the Graun article in post #5530. The article is pre- Palmyra by a number of days.
