the mousetrap has kind of sprung shut with this move. they will have to fight their way out, hope to sneak out in small groups at night across the salt flats or go west and start a new life in the Nusra formations hoping to 'work their way out' as a deckhand via Idlib to Turkey and then back again via jarablous.

The overwhelming majority of Russian officers at the center have considerable peacekeeping experience under UN aegis and in other peacekeeping formats, Konashenkov said, and then advised the Pentagon spokesman, Mr. Cook, to lower his level of aggression, acquire greater modesty and professionalism, and focus on the actions of the service personnel.

In recent days, Mr. Cook for some reason undertook the functions of a diplomat and said that the Syria ceasefire is a test for the Russian authorities.

–I’ll say right from the start: we intend to and, what’s more, we began to implement specific and complicated practical aspects of reconciliation on Syria’s territory. We expect that our US partners will shift from words to actions as soon as possible, Konashenkov added.

#UN aid airdrop in #Syria's Deir Ezzour (21 palettes):

in this case the UN is not to blame . they contracted a Ru transport co to drop the loads and its their mistake in aiming. thus far RuaF IL76 and 3 x Iranian C130 have been doing the drops.

Alison Meuse ✔ ‎@AliTahmizian
Yesterday saw @WFP first air drop in Syria. Agency says only 4 of 21 food pallets reached their mark in #DeirEzzor due to sudden high winds
The pallets contained vegetable oil, lentils, rice and salt and, according to the WFP, was enough to feed 2,500 people for one month, part of the WFP's plan to provide assistance to the city's nearly 200,000 people.

But changing weather conditions created "technical difficulties" for the delivery, which came from approximately 7,000 meters (or about 23,000 feet).

According to the WFP:

The debriefing with the crew and the partners on the ground in Deir Ezzor has revealed that due to changing weather conditions and unexpected high winds over the area, 10 out of the 21 food pallets that were airdropped drifted away and are so far unaccounted for.

Four landed in or around the drop zone and were damaged as the parachutes did not open properly and seven more pallets cannot be reached.

The organization was quick to defend the "highly experienced" delivery team, citing the known challenges of previous air drops in similarly rough terrain and noting that air drops are typically a matter of last resort.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 26 Feb 2016 12:39

thats the root cause right there - you need to go in military style @ 3000 feet and do the drop not this spray and pray from 23,000ft !!

some details of the devious Plan B which USA seems to be witholding for the moment

UN Zionist Plan B to partition Syria

Details of Plan B have finally emerged, a covert plan had been developed by then US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey D. Feltman who is now UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs (Why am I not surprised)??

http://sputniknews.com/politics/2016022 ... plan-.html

habal · Post by **habal** » 26 Feb 2016 14:47

this Feltman is a Clinton tool/appointee placed there by another stinking worm John Bolton.
Feltman has been sidelined by the ISSG (International Syria Support Group) because Lavrov is onto his game.
sitting on the sidelines he has obviously time on his hands to make another flop 'plan'.

lol @turdogan held guilty by courts in his own country

http://news.yahoo.com/turkish-high-cour ... 18046.html

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's highest court has ruled that authorities violated the rights of two prominent journalists who were jailed on terror and espionage charges, paving the way for their release.

turdogan doesn't get too much support in his own country.
No wonder then, that he often feels violent and lonely and violated.

but he doesn't give up easily, being 'of' the 'auto'man's and gives back as good as he gets

Russian People done care about Syria as much as they do about Ukraine or their near abroad , So unless they have a situation where Turkey Pilot shot A Russia Aircraft which lead to loss of life , other wise Syria wont bother them much, Which means it wont win the President Support or Electoral Brownie Point if Things get bad for him.

Strategically though it made sense for Russia to intervene , for ISIS Win over Syria means Terrorist Coming inside CIS and Russia was not far behind after all more than 2000 CiS citizen were in ISIS , The Russians have not forgotten the Libyan Lesson where US and West got a UN Approval for NFZ and ended using Ground Operation to remove Gadaffi which was never part of mandate and Medvedev who was the President then was greatly pissed off where he famously said in an i interview even if US begs at his feet he would never support any future UN resolution for such thing where he felt betrayed by US.

Medvedev: Libya has influenced our position on Syria
https://www.rt.com/politics/official-wo ... syria-364/

Also it helps Russia regain its position in ME which almost got lost as Iran was greatly pissed with Russia/Medvedev for support US resolution and Iraq too was lost now both Iran and Iraq besides Syria look up to Russia for help and support

Al Masdar has this nice piece on how the US exploited Syrian weaknesses to cause the current conflict and the links to Hillary Clinton.

https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/30011/

...
Massad’s suspicions have been confirmed by diplomatic cables that were exposed from 2006, in which William Roebuck reported from Damascus to the United States top command (including the State Department) and allies:

“We believe Bashar’s weaknesses are in how he chooses to react to looming issues, both perceived and real, such as a the conflict between economic reform steps (however limited) and entrenched, corrupt forces, the Kurdish question, and the potential threat to the regime from the increasing presence of transiting Islamist extremists.”

Recommending that:

“The regime is intensely sensitive to rumors about coup-plotting and restlessness in the security services and military. Regional allies like Egypt and Saudi Arabia should be encouraged to meet with figures like Khaddam and Rif’at Asad as a way of sending such signals, with appropriate leaking of the meetings afterwards. This again touches on this insular regime’s paranoia and increases the possibility of a self-defeating over-reaction.”

And

“If we are ready to capitalize, they will offer us opportunities to disrupt his decision-making, keep him off-balance, and make him pay a premium for his mistakes.”

The Syrian opposition High Negotiations Committee(HNC) said on Friday that nearly 100 rebel groups have agreed to the recently negotiated Russian-US ceasefire in the Arab republic.

The HNC confirms the acceptance among the Free Syrian Army and the armed opposition to adhere to a temporary truce starting at midnight on February 27 for the duration of two weeks," the HNC said in a statement.
The agreement was reached after "negotiations with 97 opposition groups," the committee said, without naming the exact rebel forces.
