Yeah, from the port of Eilat. but striking a random Iranian tanker out of the blue doesn't really make sense. especially after bibi said few days ago Israel isn't prepared to deal with Iran's missile threat. maybe the Saudis? or an Irani FF to heat things up.

I've checked in off and on to see if you all were still around, I'm out of the loop on most things concerning the war but I know not much is going on until these recent Turkish military ops. Life is better than ever, but more different than ever too. I've been pretty busy with work since I got the new promotion in June, I'll soon be legally single, the paperwork is in the mail. But technically I'm not single because I've found the most perfect beautiful woman I always hoped for. Her body is insane, her ass is indescribable, she loves it rough and she's just as crazy as me, she's the best thing besides my sons that ever happened to me.

Absolutely none, by the time it got to me it was nothing more than a thunderstorm. I'm in the center of the state so usually by the time they reach me they've weakened substantially, Dorian hugged the coast, I'm a little over an hour from the coast.

>SEVERAL SYRIAN, RUSSIAN SERVICE MEMBERS INJURED IN DARAA ATTACK
The al-Masdar News, a pro-government blog, reported that the patrol was targeted on a road linking the towns of Inkhil and Jasim.

“At least one Russian soldier and two Syrian military personnel were wounded as a result of this attack,” the blog’s report reads.

Last July, a vehicle of the Russian Military Police was targeted with an IED in the eastern Daraa countryside. Back then, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that no one was killed or injured in the attack.

The Russian Ministry of Defense is yet to confirm the new attack. The ministry usually releases a statement on such incidents within 24 hours.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, so far. However, ISIS cells are known to be active in the region, that was liberated by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) last year.

The source said the Syrian Army will not attack the town, but they are hoping to secure a deal that would allow them to enter Manbij and prevent the Turkish military from attacking this area.

>the M4 highway prong
>SDF being a headless chicken outside of k*rd heartland
Gee who could've seen this coming?
What will happen is T*rkey will take the cities they're currently trying to seige, they'll capture the M4 and isolate Kobani from the rest of SDF area, probably Manbij aswell. After that they'll Afrin their asses there.
The t*rks are definitely eyeing Raqqa aswell but i think they'll give SDF a chance to give it to Assad. Hasakah/Qamishli is a mystery though but I'm guessing the burgers are blocking any offensive there to not let ISIS get out of hand (bad PR if al-Hawl had a prison break for instance lel).
Not expecting SDF to betray USA any time soon though.

Okay guys, I need clarification because sources are disagreeing (for gif-making purposes).
On the 12th, has Ras al-Ayn been fully captured by the Torks or is it still contested?
AND (also by the 12th)
Have the Turks reached the road that splits Ayn Issa from Tell Tamer?

Also, unrelated because I'm not too worried about the 13th atm, but HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS (map for today)! I don't even know what I'm looking at here!

kek. Also use pic for fresh bread at the other place.

For those that are still skeptical of Turkey’s intentions, I offer my analysis.

>Never trust a Turk
I don’t trust them either, but I know they’re gonna pull out since the reason they entered northern Syria in 2016 is now dealt with decisively - ending the prospects of independent Kurdistan before it results in a civil race war within Turkey. Turkey’s actions in Syria to this point have had the end goal of resolving the issue of national security because the PKK was establishing bases in Northern Syria and Northern Iraq thus constituting a legitimate national security threat to Turkey as Greater Kurdistan entails a civil race war within Turkey since the majority of the Kurdish population is within Turkey.
ALL of Turkey’s incursions have been against the Kurds, with the exception of Idlib which ultimately proved to be nothing more than a bargaining chip to use in negotiations with Russia and Syria regarding the Kurds. Now that the Kurds are dealt with in the best way possible (surrender to Assad and peaceful reintegration), the bargaining chip in Idlib has outlived its usefulness and the rebels will surrender en masse once they realize Turkey will no longer protect them.
Turkey was never gonna stand by and let their #1 enemy form a nation along their entire southern border with the goal of expanding their borders into Turkey. It was a preemptive campaign to nip a violent issue in the bud.

Now that the Kurds are handing over their areas and military weaponry/gear to Assad as they should’ve done to begin with after ISIS was defeated, the Turks no longer have a reason to stay. They will pull out slowly though, to keep ISIS from resurging in a power vacuum like what happened to Iraq in 2014, but they’ll pull out while handing over ground control to SAA/Russia. It will be done incrementally and orderly.

>They’ll annex those areas! Muh ottomanism!
Let me preface my points with this statement: Erdogan is many things, but he is no fool and he is not stupid. He has far too much to lose and far too little to gain from that move.

1) Turkey’s economy is shaky because of US sanctions, annexing NW Syria would only drain the economy as Turkey would have to repair the damage caused by war.
2) The West hates Erdogan, and have tried to have him removed via coup. Erdogan can only turn to the East. Annexing parts of Syria after multiple assertions that Turkey will respect Syrian sovereignty would only cause Erdogan to lose his hard-earned favor with the East and Turkey to become an international pariah, which would kill their economy and lead to a Turkish Spring revolt against Erdogan coupled with a Kurdish revolt to take advantage of the instability.
3) Turkey is hosting 5M+ Syrian refugees that they want out of Turkey. Why then would they permanently increase the number of Syrians and Kurds within Turkey? It’s easier to just return the Syrians to Syria.
4) Turkey gets to go home with a victory under its belt after decisively dealing with the Kurdistan issue, and humiliating a superpower by forcing them out. Erdogan has so much to gain and so little to lose by bringing the troops home now.

-

One more thing to consider. The US being forced out of Syria demonstrates one crucial thing: they are no longer calling the shots in the Middle East.

Although known to historians and religious experts, the centuries-old political and economic influence of a group known in Turkish as the “Dönmeh” is only beginning to cross the lips of Turks, Arabs, and Israelis who have been reluctant to discuss the presence in Turkey and elsewhere of a sect of Turks descended from a group of Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition in the 16th and 17th centuries. These Jewish refugees from Spain were welcomed to settle in the Ottoman Empire and over the years they converted to a mystical sect of Islam that eventually mixed Jewish Kabbala and Islamic Sufi semi-mystical beliefs into a sect that eventually championed secularism in post-Ottoman Turkey. It is interesting that “Dönmeh” not only refers to the Jewish “untrustworthy converts” to Islam in Turkey but it is also a derogatory Turkish word for a transvestite, or someone who is claiming to be someone they are not.

The Donmeh sect of Judaism was founded in the 17th century by Rabbi Sabbatai Zevi, a Kabbalist who believed he was the Messiah but was forced to convert to Islam by Sultan Mehmet IV, the Ottoman ruler. Many of the rabbi’s followers, known as Sabbateans, but also “crypto-Jews,” publicly proclaimed their Islamic faith but secretly practiced their hybrid form of Judaism, which was unrecognized by mainstream Jewish rabbinical authorities. Because it was against their beliefs to marry outside their sect, the Dönmeh created a rather secretive sub-societal clan.

More at https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2011/10/25/the-doenmeh-the-middle-easts-most-whispered-secret-part-i/

>>247172
An article in The Forward of May 8, 2007, revealed that Dönmeh dominated Turkish leadership “from the president down, as well as key diplomats . . . and a great part of Turkey’s military, cultural, academic, economic, and professional elites” kept Turkey out of a World War II alliance with Germany, and deprived Hitler of a Turkish route to the Baku oilfields.” In his book, The Donme: Jewish Converts, Muslim Revolutionaries and Secular Turks, Professor Marc David Baer wrote that many advanced to exalted positions in the Sufi religious orders.

...this explains a lot of Turkey's behavior.

Okay, I think I've figured it out. What's your Discord tag?

>>247474
Also, people on Wikipedia are heavily critiquing my map of the Rojava offensive. They seem angry at me. I - I'm frightened.
Two people have asked "What's your source for this!?" and I think they'll probably take it down if I answer "me and a guy I know online named Ebin"

>>247515
Errr, I’d rather you post yours first if you don’t mind and I’ll add you.
>>247516
That’s why you have multiple sources ready in response to criticism. Look at my updates for Afghanistan back when I was updating the map and especially for my mass updates after careful research - I never went without a source since you have to have a source for literally every edit to that map.
No, al-m*Sdar is not a reliable source, blacklist it immediately.
Anyhow I’m literally just screencapping the Wikipedia warmap page, so ask THEM what their sources are.

Ebin! They are mustering their forces against me! Look at this. It's all from the last 12 hours alone. Pic related.
My wiki friends are fighting back against them (see bottom of the pic).

Yeah, some of what they say is reasonable, but they want me to use "reliable sources" like CNN.

This is the pic the want me to use. I know what you're thinking, but this pic was released after the ceasefire! FUCKING THIS MAP IS THEIR EXAMPLE OF A GOOD MAP!
I won't do it! I swear I won't do it!

Tch, at this point outside arbitration is needed. Reminds me of the bloody Yemen map talk page where literally one guy held up all the progress. Me, I’m just using their map, even if it’s shite.
Though I’d reduce reliance on Southfront and focus more on twatter since they love that platform. Especially since if they give you grief for twitter sources, they invalidate their own sources.

Syria Shitmupdate

>>247736
Really, they like twitter eh? I thought they would treat it like nothing, even with photo evidence included. Interesting. Okay, I just replied to them. Half the people support me and I'm being super suckeruperish in my reply so that, in addition to being allowed to maybe use twitter sources, think I can get it back up.

>>247736
Damn though, Our maps do look kind of different...

>>247742
Yeah I’m not too sure about some of the frontlines, especially to the SW of Tal Abyad and that spot with the one isolated village under TFSA control to the east of Tal Abyad.

>>247746
Oh yeah, that whole area is a bit of a mess. Lots of conflicting claims.
Speaking of conflicting claims, have you seen the death count according to Turkish and Kurdish forces? Both claim several deaths on their side and hundreds on the other. It's like that whenever the Turks and Kurds fight. Pretty funny tbqh.

>>247749
Yeah doesn’t surprise me at all, it’s always a dick measuring contest between those two.

HOW THE FUCK DO I SAVE THIS AS A GIF??
>https://gifmaker.me/PlayFrameAnimation.php?folder=20191018156bJp8jJ5xnJMo4ffmNMMpI

It's right there, a perfect, hd version which hasn't had its size reduced. This is what I've wanted for the last few days. Yet it's an animation and it won't let me save the whole thing. Only one picture at a time!
BAH!

>>247762
Gimp. Open as layers. Select the frames in order. Then export as .gif. Set time intervals to 1000 milliseconds (1000ms = 1 second), and frame disposal as replace, and do this for all where unspecified. Export.

>>247762
>Only one picture at a time!
Exactly, a GIF is composed of a series of images.
Download all the images, use the link offered to create the gif.
https://gifmaker.me/#003

>>247768
The problem was that whenever I did that, it would reduce the size, despite saying that I could keep it at 100% size (which was a lie)
>>247767
don't worry, I figured it out
1. Make 2 gifs (doesn't reduce the size if the frame number is small - 6 or less frames)
2. upload the gifs and choose "combine gifs" option

..at least it works for now, it might reduce the size again if I add more gifs...

Here is the final product.

>>247767
I did just download gimp (who tf came up with that name? haha, sicko) though, so I can use it as well.

>>247771
You should make a folder to save all .png frames into because you’ll see severe quality loss when you try to open more than 1 gif in gimp.

>>247808
Ebin, my friend. I just had a really intense debate with a guy from wikipedia. Over 20,000 bites in data. He won't let me have my gif on the main page. It got really heated. My gif isn't reliable enough; needs to be more like CNN's pictures. I - I think I'm gonna cry.

>>247810

Upcoming hotspots will probably be west and east of Tel Abyad, and west of Dirbêsiyê. It remains to be seen If TFSA will move south of the M4 and which part of it SAA will control (for instance it's unknown whether SAA controls it between Tall Tamr and Qamishli and between Ain Issa and Sarrin/Kobani).
Sanadid Forces (arab trib e part of SDF, friendly with SAA) are strong south and east of Qamishli so i doubt T*rkey could muster enough support among the arabs there to warrant an invasion.

Tomorrow: Damn, they have some guys who will stay in the North too but at least they don't support the rebels any...
Next month: Damn, they're supporting Al Nusra again but at least...
Next year: "Assad must go, he used chemical weapons against his own people."

Yeah but they’re not gonna stay for long unless they fancy coming under siege for black liquid.

Oh I missed this. What do you think of the fact that ANDSF regularly sees dozens of casualties? I don’t even report those since it’s so bloody common.

Kino.

I sincerely appreciate ALL of you for providing incredible amounts of information regarding the actions in Syria. There has been a recent surge of 'muh freedumbz r bein burgered!' memes throughout dozens of military affiliated channels. It's been difficult to counter CIA-fed media propaganda without having direct, unbiased sources on hand. Thanks to you poners the pro-war agendas and shill attitudes are quickly dying off to be replaced with disgust or anger. SAWRO 3/15th thanks you all.

What colours should we use for the agreement when it is put in place?
I think 2 should be purely red, the same as most of Syria. I think 3 should be the current Turkish / rebel colour (split between dark and light green)
The real question is 1. It's Russian / Turkish joint patrol. An important question is what colour even is Russia? Should that part be a dark green / red split? Or should Russia get a different colour other than red?

>>248414
2 should be orange until it’s CONFIRMED that YPG has left.
3 sounds good
1 should be purple (truce color)

He was a tough tough guy in real life, wasn't a tough guy then.

>>248793
makes sense. Can I just ask how you make your maps. Is there some button to download the wikimap which gives you the towns and you just add the approximate borders afterwards?

>>248795
https://web-capture.net/
I use this site for the screencap. It’s not perfect as it creates weird Hs for what I presume were icons with dead links.
I then download the capture and use MediBang (perfect for mobile) to do my edits.

>>248797
Correction: i click ‘view’ and download the png.

>>248797
Interesting. If you're using the wiki maps, I guess you have to use what they say? Like if they post an update which you know has errors, do you ever manually edit those areas?

>>248795
When I was on laptop, I would do individual screencaps and open MSPaint with a bloody large canvas, make the background the background color on Wikipedia, paste the screencaps and make THEIR backgrounds transparent (selection tool, check transparent section, set background color as secondary color) so I could stitch them together manually in MSPaint. I drew the borders by hand using the pencil tool, occasionally using the curve line tool for large empty spaces. Yes, it’s a long and tedious process especially if you’re starting from scratch.

I was able to figure out a ‘cheat’ in MSPaint by setting the background color as the secondary color, then hitting the selection button and checking transparent selection then rectangle (it has to be rectangle, I’ve tried free form) cutting an area, bucket filling the cut area with a chosen color, then pasting the part I cut out back in its place so I could fill in an area with a color much more quickly as opposed to manually filling in each spot with the bucket fill tool.
Theoretically it should be faster in GIMP with the color selection tool, but I don’t know, I’ve always preferred MSPaint.

It sounds complicated but it’s not, especially if you do it hundreds or even thousands of times.

>>248800
I’ve done manual edits, usually by copying and pasting an icon of the same size onto the error.

>>248801

Ebin, I am confuse. Your map and this one
https://twitter.com/GeromanAT/status/1185663407145533442 show the whole area between Tell Abyad and Ras al-Ayn as being owned by the Turks. Do you know if that's confirmed or is it just what you think. Others maps still show a gap there.

>>248899
Let’s use strategic logic: do you think the TFSA wouldn’t want to link up their fronts? Their modus operandi in Afrin was to penetrate the YPG defenses, then link up their fronts, then squeeze in on all fronts.
It’s the same here, plus it shortens their frontlines and frees up more TFSA for offensive operations elsewhere.

There are three key points that lends credence to our filling in that area for TFSA:
1. There’s been no reports of fighting from that area
2. YPG is withdrawing from the TAF safe zone
3. TFSA has been swarming the safe zone and capturing dozens of villages especially around Tel Abyad.
