... "Nasib Border Crossing" between Syria and Jordan will be an important mile-stone if SAA can regain control over it ... will TRUMP's USA fight for it?
..."TRUMP's USA" - for Syria that could mean more manpower & weapons for "rebels", bombs by Israel on behalf of the USA (yes, that's how I think one should define these regular bombing raids) or direct bombs by TRUMP's USA - maybe somewhere entirely different - maybe "accidental"
... also when I read that some "rebels" on the Syria-Jordan-border or the Golan are "Saudi supported" - I sense racism ... why? ... because without Obama and now TRUMP leading this - there would be no "rebels" in Syria - "Saudi supported" or otherwise

SYRIA IS YOUR WAR - AMERICA
... so far #USA seems resigned on #Syria's "rebels" losing control of most of #Daraa Governorate - but TRUMP's planers might care more about border crossings - an open border means trade, pipelines - and a viable economic future ... THAT's what it is about
... Syria's army is now within sight of the "Nasib Border Crossing" to Jordan ... Jordan is the origin of many "rebels" (after training by the USA) and enormous amount of weapons (from USA and allies) ... securing the border would mean securing Syria ...
... every Western social media sofa general is staring at coloured in dessert on maps of Syria ... but it is roads, check-points and BORDER CROSSINGS that have meaning ... not paint on a map ...
... and no fence or wall in the world means anything if your neighbours (in the case of Syria Jordan, Israel & Turkey) collude with that USA criminal regime to bring "rebels" and weapons to you ...

... believe me Mr. Malaise Forever ... peace in Syria is for the majority not "ugly" ... you in the USA please pick your "ugly" presidents and we in the Global South pick ours - deal?
... yes ... your Excellency ... I would love to see your exalted colleague OBAMA in front of a stern world judge for the crime of kick-starting the USA's covert/overt war against Syria that has cost maybe 500 000 lives ... THAT would be so "healing" - believe me ...
Thank you Mr. "Christ might come this afternoon"
I realise that your USA works hard at de facto balkanising Syria using the "Kurds" meme.
I also realise that TRUMP's official USA doesn't see much al-Qaeda in Idlib and tends to call even the most in-your-face jihadis "opposition."

Syria's "rebels" operate in a partly lawless zone.
For example:
This lady alleges rape (to do so is very brave). It seems the accused might be a commander known as Abu al-'Amsha in the 'Suleyman-Shah Brigade' which might be supported by NATO-member Turkey.
We can safely assume that the crime of rape is being committed by both sides in Syria's war and indeed there is a UN "report" on this - which was immediately turned on its head as basis to blame almost exclusively the "regime" - the same "meme" as used to smear Gaddafi's Libya.
... here for example a very powerful piece of - IMO - propaganda, using the "rape meme" to smear Syria's government ALONE (and the fact that only on side is being accused is the basis of me calling it "propaganda") ... it is hard to argue against "witness statements" ...

... while a hysterical Western "pro-Syria space" paints alomst every "rebel" or "White Helmet" as "al-Qaeda",
... there IS undoubtedly a presence of al-Qaeda in Idlib - the Americans say so themselves.
What "al-Qaeda" means - well - judge for yourselves:
What deals (if any) could Russia make with USA on being allowed to fight al-Qaeda in this part of Syria? What arrangements were made between Turkey and USA? Al-Qaeda sits in Idlib and Syria's al-Qaeda is defined as such by the Security Council of the UN.
... objectively speaking ... there are other rebel groups in Syria's Idlib and parts of Aleppo that might deserve the label "terrorist" but appear to enjoy Turkey's protection.
What arrangements were made between USA and Turkey - Turkey and Russia?

A man who bombed Syria over chocolate cake. A man who bombed Syria a 2nd time - maybe to detract from domestic politics. This man TRUMP is now facing a parliamentary election in the USA with much mud-slinging that might affect his political future. Will this man bomb Syria again?
... TRUMP's "advisor" Bolton: "US to act 'very strongly' if Syria uses chemical weapons in Idlib" ... chocolate cake anyone?
"Forbidden weapons" screams of Syria's "rebel" PR often start with "cluster bombs" (a sophisticated weapon of an "evil regime") or "barrel bombs" (a primitive weapon of a "crumbling regime") - culminating with "chemical weapons." Is it chocolate-cake-time?

By supporting "revolution", @PeterTatchell has IMO not helped Syria's LGBT community - on the contrary. I once had a brief conversation about this with him before. It is very telling that for an "activist" claiming to "talk to Syrians" - he showed IMO no interest in talking more.
IMO remarkable how Peter Tatchell manages to stick his nose into every country where the USA calls the government a "regime" ... from Syria, to Iran, to Venezuela - a string of attacks that forms IMO a telling picture if we compare it with the list of countries he never mentions.
I like to know why @PeterTatchell feels he's "helping" Syria and I like to know if he ever talked to Syrians of less conventional views on life what they make of the "revolution" he - it seems - feels strongly about. I can assure him that I'm capable of making up my own mind.

... @Jonathan_K_Cook - has won a "Prize for Journalism" - nice - so this gentleman - seemingly accepted by a "pro-Syria space" - knows how to use words ... words like "dictator."
Now I'm sure I'll be told by his fans that he wrote much that is "pro-Syria."
So let me explain ...
IMO - half the problem for people like me fighting the concentrated Western media war against Syria - with a narrative that IMO sold Western voters a concept of "humanitarian arming of rebels" - was the fact that even reasonable voices NEVER DARED to challenge the "dictator" meme
... instead we have until THIS DAY very prominent, widely admired "pro-Syria" characters - calling themselves "analyst" or "journalist" - who have made sure that they can't be called "Assad-supporter" ... they are anyway - but the "insurance" hides in their timelines and blogs.
