Russian military increases presence in northern Aleppo to block potential Turkish Army operation

Oh? Fascinating.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A Russian military convoy was spotted patrolling the area around the key town of Tal Rifa’at, which is jointly controlled by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG).

According to an army source in the Aleppo Governorate, the Russian Armed Forces have recently increased their presence in Tal Rifa’at after the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish military threatened to launch a new operation in northern Syria.

The source said Russia is committed to not giving up this part of northern Aleppo or any part of Syria that is controlled by the Syrian Arab Army and their allies.

This also bodes well for the YPG forces in the area because it will prevent the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish military from launching a wide-scale assault in this part of the Aleppo Governorate.

While the Syrian Arab Army and YPG are not engaged in any hostilities against one another, the former is hoping to eventually take over this part of the Aleppo Governorate after a political settlement is reached between the government and Syrian Democratic Council (SDC).

#2 Why are we not talking to the Russians about a partnership to stamp out jihadis?

WTF were our elites thinking when they copied up to the ChiComs for 30 years and did everything possible to humiliate and enrage Russia?

Hard to imagine a dumber and more destructive policy than the one our bipartisan idiocracy has pursued for nearly three decades.
