The islamic state has re taken the city of palmyra from Russian and Syrian forces.
This happened, despite the Russian Defense Ministry saying on Sunday that it carried out 64 airstrikes overnight that killed 300 IS militants and destroyed the extremists' vehicles and artillery.
ISIS retake city of palmyra

ISIL line of thinking:
10/10 ISIL
Thomas Ross
I had honestly thought most had left for north africa by now
Daniel Robinson
Unofficial reports suggest that so far the ISIS spoils from Palmyra amount to the following:
30 tanks
6 BMP
6 of 122 / 7 guns
7 of 23 guns
Untold anti-tank missiles, grad missiles, tank shells & ammunition.

Guess it's time to drone Palmyra

I thought the US was helping ISIS?

As Reuters adds, the Islamic State attack on Palmyra, 200 km (120 miles) to the southeast of Aleppo, threatens to inflict a serious blow on both Damascus and Moscow. Syrian state radio reported the army had evacuated its positions inside Palmyra, whose Roman-era ruins have become an emblem of the conflict. They were redeploying around the city.
As today's Palmyra fiasco shows, and as analysts have warned, even if Assad defeats the main rebellion, he may still face years of guerrilla insurgency and bombing attacks as he tries to reassert his authority.
Islamic State seized Palmyra in May 2015, one of its last major conquests after nearly a year of advances in Syria and neighboring Iraq that took advantage of the region's chaos. Its destruction of some of the best-known ruins and killing of the leading archaeologist in the city provoked global outrage and the army's recapture of Palmyra was presented by Damascus and Moscow as vindicating Russia's entry into the war.

There isnt any reporting in that paper its almost all propaganda and it has no sources m8

This is a classic case where the Syrian Army doesn't have enough soldiers to man every front and got hit in the weaker sector.
Easton Kelly
it seems like they had soldiers it was just poor leadership and poor training that caused a bad tactical situation to lead to a state of panic in soldiers that lead to a route
Christopher Rivera
The Battle of the Bulge so to speak of the Syrian Civil War.
This user knows where the future of this conflict is going
Oliver Stewart
What are you basing this on, the US's failures in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Christian Davis
its copy pasta from the article lad
Isaac Murphy
King Nigger and all his ilk deserve the short drop for this
Ian Walker
Yeah right.
Camden Reyes
Disappointing to hear. Russia needs to unleash the Tu-160's again.
Gavin Murphy
What happened to the Romanovs is one of the greatest tragedies of mankind.
Jacob Rivera
have to agree friendarooney. The fate of Russia without its tsar is nothing good
Matthew Cox
Here's what you do: conquer Syria. I don't mean keep Assad around as a puppet ruler or something, straight up invade and conquer Syria. Impose military rule. Engage in Roman style mass executions for insurgents, those supporting them and their families. I unironically mean miles of crucified people along major roads. Close all mosques, ban Islam. If people are found practicigin Islam, arrest and excute them.
The disease of Syria and all who live in the middle east is their religion and the culture that stems from it. Nothing short of absolute conquest and eradication of that identity will solve the problem. Whether it's us or the Russians, the Islam virus needs to be wiped out.

They were killed by the Jews.

thats slightly better
Austin Wright
They got murdered by the jews during the commie fight. He was not a good leader nor strategist however he was a good man to the people and his family. I feel sorry for the Russians and others whom have suffered under the jews's hands in the commmie land.
Austin Hernandez
of course they did.
Obama is still in charge niggers
Angel Perez
Personally I blame his father for doing such a shit job raising him. He was a genuinely good guy he was just set up for failure Russia was a massive agrarian empire that needed to make a transition into the modern world and needed a firm but kind leader to take it there. His grandfather was making great strides to get Russia where it needed to be before he was assassinated and Nicholas's dad went full retard. Even with the extremely conservative model his father laid out for him they were still joining the developing modern world but the instability of Russia's transition plus 2 loosing wars that Russia should have never been in was enough to destroy them.

William Nguyen
Jesus Christ. I knew he was a kike but a fucking mason as well? Isn't that a little redundant?
Jordan Green
His brother used to rule Russia, but unfortunately that didn't last long because the serious ill had stolen his life away. Nicholas II had no choice but to rule and he has no desire to rule, but did his job with his best ability anyway. I agree with you about the father's ability in raising his children and the two losing wars. If the wars did not exist during Nicholas II's rule, then I think it would be okay, not great though.
RIP Russian Royal family. ;_;
Charles Martinez
He was a freemason of the 31st degree (Grand Inspecteur Inquisiteur Commandeur) and a member of the lodge Art et Travail in Switzerland and France. He knew there are jews (Bolsheviks) in mason and he asked them for the money in order to fund his revolutionary activity. Yes that's right! The Freemasons didn't do anything to stop him from murdering the Russians and other. In the end freemason are pretty much hijacked by the jews. No pity for the Freemasons. Take this as the proof that the jews cannot be trusted at all.

If this is fact.
This notes that ISIS has alot more combat ready fighters than everyone thought it had.
IF - the loss claim is even near true.
If they Lost 100 I would venture to say that they are in REALLY good shape..numbers wise.
If they took 300 dead to the dome and took a fucking CITY…anyways…well yeah Ok.
We can now assume projections on troop stren- are not accurate and that ISIS is not "weakened".
Jayden Davis
Hitler was a Freemason as well sadly.
Colton Reed
God idea bro. It will be just Iraq and Afghanistan,… only it will work this time HORRAW!
Ian Wood
Not to mention the massive P.R. Fuck me every young jihadi who now hears that ISIL may or may not have 30 tanks and a city of military treasures is going to be lining up for it. Thanks Hillary. Thanks King Nigger. I hope Trump and Putin glass every single Muzzie nation in the fucking universe.

Nathaniel Young
then why did he kick all the masons out?
Wyatt Hughes
You can find pictures of anybody who's ever shaken hands doing "masonic" handshakes.
Not only did they kick them out, by they seized all their documents. Willis Carto was apparently planning to buy some of them before Jared Taylor's "best friend" Mark Weber hijacked the IHR and ran it into the ground.
Cooper Richardson
he was rosicrucian en.wikipedia.org
Carter Myers
Iraq and Afghanistan were efforts to spread democracy.
He's talking about exterminating Islam. Of course this would work, but modern Western society would never do it because it would be extremely politically incorrect to execute tons of people and forcibly destroy their culture.

I shake hands like that all the time. A nice strong grip.
Does that mean I'm a mason?

Does anyone have a map that shows what territory each side controls? I just know that ISIS is a giant blob that connect Iraq and Syria.

What strategic value does Palmyra have?
Nathaniel Adams
Almost none, in /sg/ they say the SAA boulder city'd Palmyra or at least it was done to crowd together the terrorists for airstrikes but I don't know how valid those rumors are.
Alexander Cruz
Considering the way the syrians and Russians left im not so sure about that

compared to the aleppo win palmyra is insignificant. SAA will probably ignore it, and spend their energy on idlib instead. This "omg palmyra haz fallen XDDDD" narrative sounds like impotent anti-assad flailing
Camden Kelly
this. also, what the media reports to be "tanks" can be armored trucks and nigger-rigged construction equipment.
Blake Long
Egregiously underchecked post.

It's gonna be part of their new narrative:
Isaiah Green
I don't mean half ass it like we did there. I'm talking full on Roman style conquest and elimination of identity.
Carson Lopez
Romans only conquered what was worthwhile. Going full on conquest for a country who's only significant asset is a small oil reserve is not Roman. Let the Russians and Syrians struggle to eventually defeat IS then watch as Putin has to shell out billions to rebuild a flattened country.
Jaxson Howard
Kek, this
