It seems that the US is operating at cross purposes.
State works out a complex ceasefire with the Russians and surely buy-in from the Syrian government.
State still hoping that moderates among the contras will run like hell, leaving the less moderates to suffer attacks eventually by America too.
Suddenly the american air-force attacks and destroys a Syrian Arab Army garrison at Deir ez-Zor (coincidentally permitting ISIS to pursue an attack and seize the fort).
And promptly sinks the ceasefire.
Today the CIA is promising shoulder fired anti aircraft to... well, whomever they vett.
So much for coherence.
Let me spread my map across my lap, push back my bicorne hat and settle into my armchair.
I notice that there are 3 logistics paths for resupply from Turkey. 2 deep in DASH territory and 1 running through Aleppo.
If Syrian Government Minions and pals can seize and hold Aleppo, resupply for the non DASH rebels in the north will stop.
The DASH forces will still have 2 main alternate routes deeper in their area of control.
Taking Aleppo and surrounding high ground will free up 2 new airfields closer to the Turkish border permitting the Minion and Russian pilots to sustain an increased tempo of attacks, preventing resupply through DASH routes.
As the confederate said; "he who gets there the firstest with the mostest" wins.
And without Turkish resupply, it is likely not to be DASH or the various jihadis.
And that is how the battle for Mosul can be won in Aleppo.
Oh those wacky Russians, seeing Fascists everywhere.
Some folks just can't seem to get beyond the bad old days. Am I right?
OK, I admit, the new government has the co-founder of Svoboda, Andriy Parubiy, as the new Secretary of the Security and National Defense Committee, now supervising the armed forces.
That could be a little dicey.
And, well it's true that Svoboda MP, Oleh Makhnitsky, was named Prosecutor-General of the Ukraine
So... the Fatherland Party has 10 cabinet posts.
Clearly the is nothing important that Svuboda, Fatherland Party, Right Sector and UNA-UNSO are now major players in the Ukraine government.
What countries ever had trouble when they brought the ultra right into a government?
Italy, Germany and Japan aside.
Really, that is such a 20th century way to look at it.
