Ernest: Syrian opposition has achieved some success in battles with the IG

43
The “moderate” Syrian opposition made progress and approached the city of Ar-Raqqah (eastern Syria), which is considered the “capital” of the “Islamic state”, over a distance of 45 km, RIA News White House spokesman Josh Ernest.




“We see opposition forces making progress against Ar-Raqqi, the self-proclaimed capital of the Islamic State.” The forces of moderate opposition are now 45 kilometers from Ar-Raqqa, ”Ernest said.

Earlier, Obama announced the expansion of support for Syrian rebels fighting against the IG.

“The president decided to intensify our support for the (opposition) forces,” Ernest said on Friday.

According to him, "the United States will continue to strengthen the possibilities of moderate opposition on the ground in Syria."

In addition, the US President decided to send special forces to Syria 50 to train local forces and coordinate their actions.

          By the way, remember how they screamed that Syria would become the second Afghanistan for Russia ... and there was such an unexpected turn, the troops themselves sent there ..

      I think that if the Russian Air Force forces accidentally cover 50 American special forces in Syria with the FAB, nothing terrible will happen. We just apologize later and that’s what the Americans always do ...

    The supply of weapons from the air by the Americans falls solely on the territory controlled by terrorists + refusal to show the maps where they are + the appearance of incomprehensible personalities from the CCA during the negotiations at which there was no press briefing with the participation of the CCA representative + military clashes inside ISIS groups show how the opposition’s success and Togo:

    Я не удивлюсь, если в ближайшие дни Обама объявит о взятии города Эр-Ракка. Просто весь ИГ перейдёт под знамёна Свободной Сирийской Армии, и "опа" hi все довольны. Америка победила - ИГ "в домике", мы в "затруднении". Нужно ускорять наступление САА и захватывать ключевые точки территории Сирии. Скоро будет торг, и кто что имеет будет решающим фактором.

    This is it about the Kurds, probably. The only card that can really be played in Syria. Yes, just do not want the Kurds to go to war on Raqqa. This is not their territory. And the band-eared special forces will not help, and the supply of weapons. Kurds generally have to fight back on two fronts - ISIS on the one hand, and Turks on the other. And oil to Turkey flows mainly through Iraqi Kurdistan! And, as I understand it, Syrian Kurds do not understand Iraqi too much. What mattress counts on. Then they will pit them in the struggle for power in Kurdistan, at the present moment - mythical. And now they need by all means - a resounding victory. Free Racca, even by bribing ISIS. At any cost before the SAR troops. During WWII, they were late with the opening of a second front and the capture of Berlin, as a result of 50 years they fought for Eastern Europe. They do not want to repeat their mistakes, only the power is not the same.

    State arrogance and lies have crossed all sorts of borders. Messages from their representatives:
    1) The United States sent 50 special forces to Syria
    2) The United States warned the Russian Federation not to shell areas where the US military
    3) The United States refused to tell the Russian Federation the coordinates of the locations of its military.
    What does this mean? A comparison of these three messages leads to one conclusion: the states are thus trying to stop the Russian operation in Syria in order to protect the Ishil terrorists.
    Personally, I see no reason for other conclusions.
    Сообщения о продвижении оппозиции у меня вызвали ассоциацию: приходит к игиловцам амероспецназовец и говорит," с сегодняшнего дня вы больше не подразделение ИГИЛ, а умеренная оппозиция, поэтому мы сообщим ваши координаты как умеренной оппозиции и вас не будут трогать,но вы казнить население будете только умеренными способами." По мере состоявшихся договорённостей территории объявляются освобождёнными от Игил и объявляются занятыми оппозицией.
    With what success the coalition created by the states bombed Isil, such an option of the opposition’s struggle with Isis looks the most probable.

    Как только наша авиация нанесла ощутимый урон ИГ, так сразу и какая-то выдуманная (созданная) "умеренная оппозиция" под мудрым руководством Сша и с направляющей ролью западной "демократии" в голове вдруг начала "одерживать победы". Вот только какие и над кем? Американцам просто необходимо как-то оправдывать свою помощь этим "умеренным отморозкам".

    Откровенный бред и попытка спасти своих выкормышей путем несложного "перекрашивания". За несколько лет Западной борьбы с ИГ не смогли продвинутся даже "на метр", а тут вдруг, 45 км и никуда-нибудь, а к столице ИГ. Просто, Ракка, это ключик к нефтяным промыслам Сирии и лучше всего, данный бред, прокомментировал начальник Главного оперативного управления Генштаба ВС РФ Андрей Картаполов, на подведении итогов.
    Terrorists are trying to replenish their gangs with new militants ... militants are trying to transfer their reserves from the territory of Iraq and other neighboring states. However, the level of preparation of these reserves and their moral and psychological state are extremely low. Therefore, gangsters who were surrounded or under fire by the Syrian government forces in several districts are trying to escape, declaring their belonging to the so-called "moderate opposition", and their leaders stop paying them money because of cowardice and unwillingness to fight.
    In order to receive political support and financial assistance from abroad, the leadership of a number of gangs that were part of the Jibgat al-Nusra terrorist group decided to abandon their symbols and go under the banner of Harakat Ahrar ash-Sham, which the West refers to "moderate opposition".
