So what? Let's not forget ISIL is a terrorist operation and very much also operates in territories it doesn't openly control.

First, it is not US or NATO territorial aerospace, therefore there is no ethical or moral justification for the USAAF to be there. Second the most relevant thing has happened to or from ISIS is getting arrested or murdered rightfully so. Not to mention that most of their supporters (and good chunk of their members) are likely in Europe from France to Germany.

Why the propaganda dump?

Those are literally maps that show the territorial control of ISIS as of 2020. Not propaganda.

No, it just confirms me that the USAF is a bunch of hypocritical moralist and narcissists that can whine about their drone (an object, not even a breathing person) being pissed on by flares of another nation.

That's a lot of projection your reading into attacking the property of another nation. Most of the posts here are about property violations whether bitching about movies or vandalism.

ISIL are hostis humani generis and as such it would be both extremely legal, moral and ethical to kill them even if they were on the bloody dark side of the Moon.

Also i find it fucking hilarious that you whine about lack of moral and ethical justifications like this and in the same post say that "the USAF is a bunch of hypocritical moralist and narcissists".

LMAO, no, most of their supporters in total are from the Muslim majority countries.

Again, they hide in places they don't control too. If they don't, you are implying that they don't exist in France or Belgium because maps don't show them there.

It is their aircraft legally and as property, with US flag painted on it, and US government being responsible for its action.
It's not hypocritical moralism, it is the international order of things.
If US Navy in retaliation blasted few Russian drones over Syria with AA missiles would you also be whining at them that they shouldn't be mad (and trust me, they would be extremely mad) because it was just drones?

Either way it was an intentional aggressive action by a Russian aircraft against US aircraft. Flares, cannon shells, or missiles, the only difference is how effective and open the aggressive action is.

Ok dipshit, you do remember debris from that ramming, if either aircraft had gone down, could have killed people on the ground?

Or did you somehow think that aircraft debris raining down on civies is a non-issue here, had it gone bad?
 
Uh, they have permission to fly in Syrian airspace, two, if it is contested airspace because Assad claims it boohoo enforce it by actively shooting it down instead of being fuckers.
Three, it is most likely in international waters and air and are perfectly legal to fly aircraft there.
U less your saying we shouldn't send fighters to intercept Russians bears of the coast of Alaska
 
ISIS managed to launch an attack on Syrian Regime forces, ambushing two trucks filled with troops located near Deir Ezzor in Eastern Syria. Numbers killed range from 23-40 which if true by either metric, one of the deadliest single attacks perpetrated by ISIS upon the Syrian Regime forces since 2019.

Significant Strikes and Protests taking place in Syria anew, some calling for the removal of the Assad Regime... yet again. Coincidentally this is also the 10th Anniversary of the Ghouta Chemical Attacks back in 2013. Response to some of these protests occurring in Alawite, Druze and other communities that have been seen as supportive of the regime have been challenged by regime aligned militias with gunfire.



The protests have been going on for at four days now with hyperinflation possible as the Syrian Pound declines and cost of living increases dramatically. Protests and strikes have blockaded many of the roads leading in and out of Damascus and the Assad Regime has even faced criticism from Alawite Militia leaders. Some Alawite Protesters have even been 'disappeared' by the Regime.

Protests in southern Syria as economy worsens

Syria’s economy is in tatters, and the removal of subsidies has led to relatively rare protests in government territory.
www.al-monitor.com www.al-monitor.com

This comes on the heels of what was seemed to be Syria's rehabilitation on the international stage, having been readmitted to the Arab League last May after a twelve year suspension and other metrics and evidence showing a steady downward trend in violence and upward trend in stabilization.

Time will tell if this is just a "hiccup" on the road to recovery for the Assad Regime or something more serious.

In related news, Russia has decided to bomb something in Syria which was increasingly rare as of late.

 
So another video about a vlogger/influencer/whatever the fuck the word is now...who traveled to Afghanistan :



This is his Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/davud/

What I found extremely odd... well was his surname because it is familiar because of this guy :

en.wikipedia.org

Hibatullah Akhundzada - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

The do have the same surname which makes eerie or odd at least.

Though, from what I remember from my travels and people I met, it does happen quite often in MOST languages that you have multiple people having the same surname. The Caucasus to Pakistan likely have that tendency sometimes.

Guy is Muslim and appears to have been around Central Asia before, so it is probably gonna be less dangerous for him than for normal westerners.
