    Another of the seemingly endless threads from on the victims of the war in Syria. Stories like this are so important to show how many of the fighters (on all sides) have often had little choice in their fates these past years.

    Yahya Abu al-Darda was killed 2 days ago fighting Syrian regime forces in southern Idlib. He was 17. He joined the ranks of the armed opposition at the age of 14. Yahya was raised by his father since the age of 9,…

    16 years and the U.S. military still doesn't understand the importance of tackling corruption within allied forces

    These top Generals cultivated extensive ties with major companies and suppliers, and in particular with the US military, who knew about the corruption they were engaged in but tolerated it for a variety of reasons, some darker than others…

    ISIS mined the road leading to al-Kawm in the last few days and one of the mines destroyed a Liwa al-Quds technical. 5 members of the group were reported injured in the blast. Road is now closed until engineering teams can clear the area.

    The force numbered ~10k in the mid-2000's (following an increase in size & funding due to the Iraq war) It likely remains about this size today, although it's difficult to know for sure.

    Very, very little has been written about this unit in Arabic or English. The information in this article comes from examining their few small Facebook pages, old FSA videos, & interviews w/ active Border Guards. If anyone has additional info, please share!

    Benjamin Netanyahu is a racist who should be be an outcast, banned from the halls of American power and finds the doors of respectable society closed to him. That he looked upon with any favor in America says a lot about our own issues with racism and hate.

    Aaron's mad he's spent all these years denying Assad's crimes for free

    Replying to @Charles_Lister @ArminRosen
    No surprise that you would smear Nir Rosen, who’s dedicated years to trying end the Syrian proxy war (w/ tangible success on the ground) that you’ve lobbied for in DC. As is the norm with your crowd, calling Rosen a “fixer/agent” of Assad requires ignoring his actual views.

    Interesting read from about Nir Rosen and his work as a fixer between various actors and the Assad regime in Syria. However, one of the more juicer tidbits that Armin only glossed over is Nir's association with Samir Foz.
