Of course the Kurds deny the deal. And they are lying. They have made deal after deal with their symbiotic partners, ISIS, time and time again!Of course, we can't forget that the US is giving ISIS a free pass also!But Russia isn't! SANA-
Moscow, SANA- At least 120 ISIS terrorists were killed in the Russian Aerospace Forces’ airstrikes on an ISIS queue of vehicles which was heading from Raqqa to Palmyra.Russian Defense Ministry source said Saturday that the Russian aircrafts shelled last Thursday an ISIS convoy consisted of 39 pickup trucks loaded with weapons which were heading from Raqqa to Palmyra, destroying 32 small-size trucks equipped with heavy machineguns and killing more than 120 terrorists onboard.
The US was busily killing Syrian civilians rather then their proxy forces aka terrorists- Also par for the courseThis quote from "The Drive" makes me laugh.. Not because it's funny as in humourous.No because the claim of surprise is absurd- A means to obfuscate the obvious- The US has let ISIS pass time and time again. The US launches airstrikes to aid ISIS.
"If this large line of vehicles did indeed originate from al Raqqa, it is a bit surprising that they weren't identified and attacked by US-led coalition forces"
Actually it is NOT surprising the US allowed ISIS to pass Kurdish News Source
The official spokesman of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) Nuri Mahmoud on Saturday denied reports quoting the Russian Ministry of Defense on a deal between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and ISIS militants in Raqqa.“The reports are baseless and blatant allegations aimed at discrediting our forces and undermining the gains of the revolution [against ISIS],” Mahmoud said.
The reports don't discredit. It's the fact of all the cooperation between the Kurds and ISIS that discredits the common narrative
A source in the Russian Ministry of Defense said on Saturday (May 27) that YPG/PKK Syrian Democratic Forces have reached an agreement under which ISIS fighters could be allowed a safe passage to leave Raqqa heading to Homs southern countryside
“The news issued on May 27, 2017 and attributed to the source of the Russian Ministry of Defense is untrue. These are deliberate allegations aimed at discrediting our troops that are combatting ISIS in Raqqa,” the YPG spokesman said.
The news issued May 27 is undoubtedly correct! Not because the Russians claimed it. Rather because this is the common practice. The usual way PKK/YPG backed by the US/UK/Israel "fights" ISIS backed by the US/UK/Israel
“We declare from the front lines that our fight with ISIS terrorists continues at the most intensified level and we perform the most vicious battles with mercenaries, as many local and international media who cover our battles against terrorism are witnessing this,” he said.
Of course the PKK/YPG declare their lies as truth.
“What is reported about our forces is just to confuse the reality of our revolution and our fight against terrorism.
Actually I think the report clarifies the reality of what has been occurring, on the ground, in Iraq and Syria for years now. Kurds allow ISIS to leave Tabqa Kurds allow ISIS to leave Manbij Quoting from Soufan regarding ISIS's propensity to walk away..
" As it has done elsewhere in Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State chose not to fight to the end in Dabiq"
They didn't fight to the end in Tabqa, Manbij, Mosul, Dabiq or Kobani- where ISIS just melted away as the Kurds/US advanced. The Russian's are correctly stating the fact that undoubtedly and as usual the US backed PKK/YPG are allowing the US backed ISIS to walk away-
