MESOP INSIGHT : CHARLES LISTERS BEST KNOWLEDGE / TODAYS ACTUAL SYRIA THEATER
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
US spent $100millions on vet/train/equipping forces to fight #Assad regime since late-2012. Now it pays condolence money for regime troops.
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Question: Is it normal for CENTCOM to carry out strikes vs #ISIS *so* close to #Assad regime troop positions? (i.e. Was this air support?)
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Jolani says U.S strikes vs. JFS are because JFS is a powerful faction, despite its new “lack of” ties to Al-Qaeda.
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Jolani paints recent offensives in #Hama as being aimed towards “liberating” #Homs city from #Assad regime control.
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Jolani accused the US-#Russia deal of being only focused on “security issues”, aiming for the opposition’s surrender
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Jolani accuses the UN (& De Mistura) of pursuing a methodical policy for #Aleppo’s defeat to the #Assad regime.
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Jolani talks about “advanced” unity talks in #Syria, but acknowledges there are differences between some groups.
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Jolani says Syrians’ chief concern is rejecting “humiliation”, not seeking food aid from the world’s powers. #Syria
Charles Lister @Charles_Lister
Jolani’s talking about the need for governance structures that are separate from military activities in #Syria.

JFS took the video down – seemingly to allow AJA the exclusive. It’s no longer available on YouTube. https://twitter.com/Charles_Lister/status/777190336531537921 …
