I'm inclined to agree with this & it ties together w. what I've heard from Russians working this file. It's very delicate though. The recent re-appearance of makeshift drones vs. Hmeymim risks guaranteeing escalation. Pro-regime manpower is also an issue, plus

#pt: Really good to see@Dannymakkisyria cited in@LizSly's report. I commissioned Danny to write what I believe was the first English-language account of rising loyalist discontent for@MiddleEastInst back in Nov 2018. 1. https://www.mei.edu/publications/syrias-war-economy-exacerbates-divide-between-rich-and-poor … 2. https://www.mei.edu/publications/fighting-gives-way-governing-syria-faces-new-challenges …https://twitter.com/Charles_Lister/status/1110530217787961345 …Thanks.

Excellent reporting by
@LizSly, revealing more details of deep & rising discontent within#Assad loyalist areas of#Syria. "Post-war" life has deteriorated & there's no light at the end of the tunnel; people blame the regime & corruption, not sanctions. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/assad-loyalists-are-turning-on-syrias-government-as-living-standards-deteriorate/2019/03/25/080b1562-44d7-11e9-94ab-d2dda3c0df52_story.html?utm_term=.bb9990bfa396 …pic.twitter.com/yowjRvYD2SThanks.

"Armed forces are being withdrawn..." Amb. Jeffrey also appears to confirm that US troops *are* in the midst of a partial withdrawal from
#Syria, headed "back down" to a "final number."https://twitter.com/jseldin/status/1110252207226667008 …Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
From Amb. Jeffrey's
@StateDept comments yesterday, an intriguing indication of plans for "deradicalization & reintegration" of some#ISIS detainees in#Syria. If that reflects funded programming, good, but I've a feeling it may be driven by a lack of resources & tribal pressure.https://twitter.com/jseldin/status/1110251228943040513 …Show this threadThanks.

ISIS is using the same pr-2014 style in Mosul: Threatening people to pay by sending a message by envelope: "Pay or Die". They have threatened businessmen, doctors, etc. Three ISIS members were arrested today in Mosul before collecting their extortion.

Today,
#Iraq - with a legitimate, elected government - proclaimed victory against#ISIS in July 2017. 18 months later,#ISIS poses a steadily increasing terror threat in multiple provinces - it has reverted to covert, guerrilla operations & conducted 100s of attacks in 2018.pic.twitter.com/oOFjjGbH3NShow this threadThanks.

Interesting by
@martinchulov, who says#ISIS leader#Baghdadi fled#Baghouz in Jan 2019 after fellow militants tried to kill him. In the aftermath,#ISIS wanted posters sought the death of a senior commander, Abu Muath al-Jazairi. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/23/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-isis-caliphate?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR3_8fggOp4AsFYxzLsKLs8UHdWNizbcjnQOP8BIgIh-N81dLRO81GtFSvw …pic.twitter.com/AQpvHtrB9PThanks.
