A recently displaced Syrian father Abdullah in Idlib taught a game to his 4-year-old daughter Selva: You should laugh when you hear a warplane.

Now entire family laughs to maintain the pretense, to keep her sipirits high amid a war

Via @alganmehmett

Yet another thing aches the heart in Syrian war that you could also draw parallels with the holocaust.
More info on this video:

Syrian father Abdullah told @Arpacik that he along with his family emigrated to Sarmada from Sarakib due to heavy regime and Russian bombings

That’s how he invented the game about the warplanes and bombs:

WOW

Russian Ambassador to Turkey Alexei Yerkhov:

• “No one can turn away the Syrian army that is gaining ground now”
• “What’s the purpose of Turkish observation stations? They are now behind the frontlines.”

1/
Russian Ambassador:
• “Turkish stations shelled Syrian army. They are fortified military positions ” (implying that they are military targets)
• “Separating radicals from moderate opposition in Idlib is almost impossible because they change side if they paid”

2/
Russian Ambassador Yerkhov:
• “First Russian officers died then Turkish soldiers” (Using them in the same context when briefly mentioning the reasons of escalation)
• Turkey didn’t remove radicals, and heavy weapons from de-escalation zone, didn’t open M4-M5 to traffic

Turkish attack against Syrian Kurds has been agreed with #USA & #Russia. It is a limited attack with limited objective. It will create a zone (not a buffer zone) for Syrian refugees to be eventually re-located from #Turkey and #Idlib when the time comes to eliminate Jihadists.
It is in favour of
- #USA: to allow forces to pull out and prepare for a total withdrawal
- Russia willing to retake #Idlib and eliminate al-Qaeda and ex-Nusra et al. Russia satisfies a new strategic partner (Turkey)
- Damascus that wants Idlib back.
- Syrian Kurds are the biggest losers, as always. This operation may (just may) help Kurdish leaders to understand they need a good deal with Damascus. Otherwise they will see their territory taken away piece by piece.

This ops, notwithstanding Damascus protest, is positive +

MOST important event today & US media barely covers it. #NATO Secy-General @jensstoltenberg gave a major speech to Congress celebrating the 70th anniversary of an unprecedented period of peace & freedom maintained by the most successful alliance in history
@jensstoltenberg #NATO's Stoltenberg to Congress: "The strength of a nation is not only measured by the size of its economy…but also by the number of its friends…Thru NATO, US has more friends & allies than any other power. This has made US stronger, safer & more secure"
@jensstoltenberg Stoltenberg's historic speech celebrated #NATO founding & foundational one-for-all solemn promise 70yrs ago tomorrow. Reminding US Congress: NATO was founded to shield against aggression, fear of aggression & to stand up to Soviet Union crushing democracies. Russia's still at it!

#Syria launched 10s of missiles against 4 #Israel/I military objectives in the occupied #GolanHeight in response to continuous Israeli provocation of war (hitting Syrian & allies' targets in various locations).

#Israel/I jets violated #Lebanon airspace last night to bomb #Syria
#Israel continuous provocation to trigger another war in #Syria w/ #Iran has been met with Iranian refraining from retaliating coz it is due to the hosting country to respond.

#Russia is constantly asking #Damascus to avoid falling into Israel's trap

#Israel intercepted 4 out of 20 missiles launched by #Syria air defence system into occupied #GolanHeight. 16 missiles reached their targets according to Damascus.

#Israel, before the Syrian retaliation, bombed several targets in #Syria for the fourth time in less than a month.
