The latest round of fighting between Kurdish fighters and ISIS over the key border town of Kobani in northern Syria has gone poorly for ISIS, with reports they lost at least 50 fighters in the past 24 hours.
Officials say ISIS’ latest pushes into the city have left the attacking fighters more vulnerable to US airstrikes as well as to shelling from Kurdish defenders. But is the death toll having an impact?
Not necessarily, and Syrian officials particularly warned that so long as ISIS continues to be able to access more fighters through Turkey, they can keep replacing casualties.
The latest reports suggest ISIS continues to have Kobani surrounded, which means that the Kurds are unlikely to be able to get reinforcements of their own, while ISIS continues to pump more and more fighters into the clash.
The AP report in the Sunday Mpls. Star Tribune on the fighting in Kobani claims the Kurdish Peshmurga forces at Kobani have turned the momentum of the battle. Most AP war reports have had a positive pro US. intervention stance.
Kobani is going to be the grave yard of these Saudis, Turkish Erdogan and UAE barbarians. They are fighting with people's army, people army is not a mercinaris paid by dictatorial regimes as black water mercinari or these barbariabs are, people army is not based on manifestation of USG or NATO neo fascism regimes companied by older ones. This is 2014, Islamization of the world is for those who live the past without realizing the present.
Although what is happening in ferguson is happening all over usa and is about American people, but people in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria, Iraq in Africa are suffering from the very same brutal and inhuman policies toward those who are not living in ferguson but they do have other skin colors and live elsewhere.
ISIS beheadings — Humane gesture to reduce casualties on both sides
It ‘s like Alexander the Great who conquered all of the known world at the age of 35, for he gave no quarter, seldom took prisoners and those who engaged him in battle knew it would be a sudden death playoff.
So, those who engage ISIS in battle have mostly given up the fight before the first shot, which means that most of the troops that should be among the walking dead, most happy are they to make it home before supper.
And the problem, apart from US/Zionazi involvement who created Al CIAeda/ISIS to begin with, is Turkey and their Saudi sponsors who keep supporting, nurturing wahhabi freaks and sending them into Syria ("israel" is doing the same from occupied Golan, US from Jordan).
Turkey´s future as such seems to be expendable as long as Mullah Erdogan´s long lost face is on the line.
Against him, US ,"israel" and their various cut-throat mercenary death squads, stand Syria, Russia, China BRICS and most of the free world. With such friends Syria will undoubtedly and eventually win but at what cost?
All armies suffer losses in serious fighting, and especially attacking into an urban area. We say they lost 50 men? The truth of it isn't likely to be so many, and that isn't much in context. The other side(s) are taking losses too, and losing the town to boot.
ISIS is despicable, but right now they are winning. Pretending it isn't so, repeating our own side's bulletins, doesn't change reality. Napoleon's practice created the "lie like a Bulletin" phrase, and nothing has changed since.
