Syrian forces retake key Aleppo district

 

 

ALEPPO: -- Syrian army forces and their allies have recaptured the whole Ramousah district of Aleppo, according to a monitor.

 

The advance further seals off rebel-held parts of the city, building on an advance last week that reimposed a siege on opposition areas.

 

The battle for Aleppo is seen by both sides as key to deciding Syria’s fate.

 

President Bashar al-Assad’s offensive aims to strengthen the buffer zone around their main supply route into the city from the south.

 

Along the Syria-Turkey border, Turkish tanks were hit by rockets on Wednesday.

 

According to the so-called Islamic State news agency, ISIL militants were behind the attacks.

 

While intense fighting rages between the government and rebel forces, the world’s chemical weapons watchdog has announced it will launch an investigation into the suspected use of chlorine gas in an opposition area of Aleppo.

 

According to a rescue group working in the area, the attack on Tuesday caused suffocation in 80 people.

t happened Thursday morning, on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." It was a shocking exchange between the Libertarian presidential candidate, Gov. Gary Johnson, and one of the show's panelists, Mike Barnicle.

 

Barnicle: "What would you do if you were elected about Aleppo?"

Johnson: "About...?"

Barnicle: "Aleppo"

Johnson: "And what is Aleppo?"

Barnicle: "You're kidding."

Johnson: "No."

It is no surprise of how some of the other candidates in the USA have such a limited

knowledge of the rest of the world, as that is how they were educated in the 

schools.  It is embarrassing , but not a surprise.  Aleppo looks like a mostly 

ruined city already, will it have any buildings left standing when this war is over>

  Shame on Assad, and shame on Russia for their support of this war

criminal.  I just hope that this war will be over soon and then the criminals

get sent to jail, and hanged for their crimes, like the leader of Iraq was.

This war will go back and forth and there are sections that think without the support and interference of turkey Russia and USA this war could end faster and run out of bombs , ammunition etc and could be better

However as the industries making bombs and arms need money won't see that happening anytime soon ...the factories keep purring
