QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) denied on Saturday that it had to do with a homemade drone that crashed north of the town of Qabasin in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.
Social networking sites published pictures of a homemade drone, which they said it had crashed north of the town of Qabasin, and claimed that it belonged to SDF.

Shami indicated that these media outlets will continue to spread this “fake news” to cover up the “recruitment of mercenaries” to participate in hostilities in Ukraine.
On Friday, the Violations Documentation Center in Northern Syria said that the Turkish army and intelligence held more than one meeting with leaders of Turkish-backed opposition factions in the areas of Azaz and Afrin in the northern countryside of Aleppo, and asked them to recruit members to transport them to Ukraine.

An interesting link, No Fortunate Son. ISIS isn’t likely to gain much traction in that part of the world, nor does it seem likely to me that the war itself will spread beyond Ukrainian battlefields — though my opinion os worth what you just paid for it. But goodness knows there are plenty of ISIS sympathizers among the Moslem colonists recently arrived in the West, who may respond to this particular nudge as they did not do to previous ones, being generally content with general boyish harassment of the natives to show them their place in the new order.

What is happening today, the direct bloody war between the Orthodox crusaders – Russia and Ukraine – is but one example of God’s punishment for them
They're right, in a way. This can be seen as God's punishment for the Woke crusaders of America and Europe, who bear the ultimate blame for this crisis.
As Mearsheimer makes clear was our many foolish liberal internationalists, later dubbed Woke, administrations arrogant and unholy drive to push NATO and its Woke wickedness right up to the edge of Russia's capital that caused this.
