He was trained at a camp near Moscow, and his unit was sent to the Chinese border.
That other thread failed miserably and if you try to spam or flame here, I will break your arms.

So, Daesh recaptured the Tabqah dam? There were pictures if SDF fighters on the dam earlier, right?

The north side of the dam is under the SDF, the south side is still under ISIL control.  Apparently the SDF have paused and are trying to negotiate the remaining guys out, probably out of fear of damaging the dam in the course of an assult.

Ah, OK. Looks like a Stalingrad-like pocket to me, now that I take a closer look.

Syrian De-Escalation Zones agreed on between Turkey, Russia and Syria in the Astana Memorandum, Syria, May 7th, 2017.

I did not comment on these Safe Zones so far, you might have made your own mind until now. Western Coalition Aircraft are prohibited in these areas. Syrian Arab Army & Allies ground forces are supposed to seize attacks on these areas. They are supposed only to enter combat when being shot at. Syrian Arab Airforce is supposed only to bomb these areas when being shot at.

How many times have we posted a map of ceasefire areas before?  I doubt it'll last more than a week or two at best, like all the other times.
