De VS bedreigt Syrië met geweld als het zal proberen gebied in het zuiden van het land te heroveren, gebied dat wordt bezet door psychopathische moordenaars, verkrachters en martelbeulen, je weet wel volk waarbij het VS leger zich goed thuis voelt..... en dit niet alleen vanwege het moorden en martelen, zaken die geen land op onze kleine aarde beter beheerst dan de VS, dat alleen deze eeuw al dik meer dan 2 miljoen moorden op haar naam heeft staan en een ontelbaar aantal gevallen van marteling, zowel in Guantanamo Bay, maar ook in geheime CIA gevangenissen in het buitenland.......
Let wel: nog steeds is de VS volkomen illegaal op Syrisch grondgebied aanwezig en dan het soevereine Syrië (waar haar grenzen internationaal en door de VN worden erkend) de wacht aan durven zeggen als het de wet wil handhaven tegen terreurtroepen, die in de VS en de rest van het westen 'gematigde rebellen' worden genoemd >> te zot voor woorden!
Uiteraard wijst de VS op een eerder gesloten wapenstilstand, echter de enige die zich daar enigszins aan heeft gehouden is het Syrische leger en haar coalitie met o.a. Rusland en Iran......
Sterker nog: Syrië heeft zelfs de plicht om een eind aan de terreur tegen haar burgers te maken!!

US Threatens Syria With "Firm And Appropriate Measures" After New Airstrikes
Sat,

Washington
is once again concerned about Syrian government expansion inside...
wait for it... Syria.
The
United States threatened to take "firm
and appropriate measures" against Syrian government forces,
claiming repeat "ceasefire violations" and concerned over
reports that the Syrian Army may be poised for a new military
operation to retake Deraa in the country's south.
State
Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said
late Friday,
“As a guarantor of this de-escalation area with Russia and Jordan,
the United States will take firm and appropriate measures in response
to Assad regime violations.”

Nauert
referenced the thus far tenuously-holding deal
between the US, Russia, and Jordan struck
last November which among other stipulations proposed efforts
for "the reduction, and ultimate elimination
of foreign forces and foreign fighters from the area
to ensure a more sustainable peace." This was
widely interpreted
at the time as
calling for an
"Iran-free" zone in southern Syria,
as Israel has long threatened to go to war should Iranian troops be
present near its border.
The
State Department warnings come at the end of a week in which Syrian
state media claimed US
fighter jets attacked Syrian Army positions in the eastern desert
near the Iraq border overnight Wednesday,
which reportedly killed
12 pro-government fighters.
The
US, however, has
denied any involvement:
"We have no operational reporting of a U.S.-led coalition strike
against pro-Syrian regime targets or forces," CENTCOM spokesman
Captain Bill Urban said
in a statement.
And a separate Pentagon spokesman said, "These
reports are false,
the coalition did not strike any Syrian army positions in eastern
Syria."
And
less than 24 hours later, another airstrike on
a base in central Syria is
widely reported to have involved Israel, believed to have targeted a
Hezbollah weapons depot.
Notably,
a Reuters report acknowledges
the US warning issued late Friday comes as 1)
Syrian government forces have cleaned
out the last ISIS pockets in the country's south;
and 2) Damascus is now "in
its strongest position since the early months of the war in 2011".
Reuters notes further that the government has "recaptured
all remaining insurgent areas near Damascus in recent weeks,
including the densely populated eastern Ghouta area, as well as big
enclaves in central Syria."
So
essentially while warning against "Assad regime violations"
and expansion, the State Department is reasserting the
US position that Syria cannot "expand" within
its own sovereign borders (borders
obviously long recognized internationally and by the United Nations).
The
Syrian Army is making preparations to move deeper into the southern
province of Deraa where fighting began during the opening months the
war starting in 2011. Syrian state media has reported that government
planes are dropping leaflets over towns in the region, warning
anti-Assad forces that they must disarm or face military attack.

Meanwhile, the New York Times has published what purports to be a detailed account of a February 7th major clash between pro-government forces and Russian allies and pro-US forces, which we explained at the time was cause for "an acute international crisis” as it left up to hundreds on the pro-government and Russian side dead, and may have controversially included Russian mercenaries.
The NYT description of what took place paints a glowing picture of US special forces successfully holding off a massive assault by hundreds of pro-government fighters, based on multiple interviews and documents given to the Times. Business Insider summarizes the NYT revelation as follows :

The NYT description of what took place paints a glowing picture of US special forces successfully holding off a massive assault by hundreds of pro-government fighters, based on multiple interviews and documents given to the Times. Business Insider summarizes the NYT revelation as follows :
- Roughly 40 US commandos held off about 500 forces loyal to the Syrian government — including Russian mercenaries — in an intense firefight in early February, The New York Times reports.
- No US troops were harmed, but hundreds of pro-government forces were killed, according to The Times.
- The firefight took place at an outpost next to a Conoco gas station in eastern Syria on February 7.
In the end, 200 to 300 of the attacking fighters were killed. The others retreated under merciless airstrikes from the United States, returning later to retrieve their battlefield dead. None of the Americans at the small outpost in eastern Syria — about 40 by the end of the firefight — were harmed.
And
further:
The firefight was described by the Pentagon as an act of self-defense against a unit of pro-Syrian government forces. In interviews, United States military officials said they had watched — with dread — hundreds of approaching rival troops, vehicles and artillery pieces in the week leading up to the attack.
If both this week's reported foreign air assaults and last month's massive US coalition strikes on Damascus are any indication, such direct clashes between Syria and the US forces will likely occur again. The only question that remains is the degree to which things will escalate in any future confrontation as the stakes are now even higher with Damascus feeling itself in a more comfortable security position compared to last year, and has a new confidence to respond militarily.
