@joshua_landis @Charles_Lister This article is fantasy. This article is an audition.

@MENA_Conflict @AmyAustinHolmes This 👆🏻... I get the interest to push for a more accurate picture of the SDF and SDC and casting away the use of Kurdish to describe them. But the biased, reactionary, misleading characterizations by a set of analysts on here is mind boggling.

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@hxhassan @BASSAMVA held areas. They have provided almost no aid, and their attempts to tie aid to pro-regime pledges were quickly stopped. They have had no major role in Kurdish-Kurdish talks. Their efforts to push for regime-SDF talks have gone nowhere and only raised suspicions w/ the SDF/SDC

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@hxhassan @BASSAMVA never materialized and meetings with local AA councils also haven’t led to any major support. Pushing the regime to repair infrastructure has been minimal and aside from maybe one instance around Tell Tamer and another around Shadadi these repairs have been beneficial for regime

@GregoryPWaters @Elizrael Videos shared by @Jake_Hanrahan alsi completely devoid of context and terribly misleading. But hes been there, so...

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@GregoryPWaters @Elizrael It was never a card it had to play in the mid term and their move around peace spring hasnt substantially shifted their options. US leaves, Damascus always trying to get back in, or ok to see border taken by Turkey to allow them to absorb the rest.

@Jake_Hanrahan Oil funded - Yes. Survives because of US presence - Yes. Nothing wrong with that, just the truth. And everything in his subsequent tweet is accurate.

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@Jake_Hanrahan Authoritarian - yes, it has a streak. PYD/YPG figures hold ultimate decision making authority on nearly everything at the end of the day. Below them are hand picked Arabs/Kurds.
Single party - yes (for now), the PYD. Maybe that changes with KNC talks. Syrian Future Party is PYD.

@JohnDrtrs Genuine question, can you name some MPs chanting in the clip who arent from Iranian backed blocs or parties?

@ajaltamimi @azelin @UticaRisk @fanarhaddad @aelghossain @faysalitani @Mikeknightsiraq @PatrickOsgood @emile_hokayem @aronlund @Weissenberg7 @AKMcKeever @FIstrabadi Thanks Aymenn, happy new year!

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@NicholasAHeras This is spin. You know better than most this is in fact insignificant. None of these tribes are monolithic, and all remain as divided as before.

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@NicholasAHeras @arisroussinos No one will get involved in this.

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@hxhassan @MikeRStephens Now not sure if the regime will keep letting Sadcop engineers run the fields, or if the US will keep letting the SDF sell most of the oil to the regime, but we’ll see.

[SyriaConflictMonitor @SCM_Syria]

@hxhassan @MikeRStephens Rmeilan is where the SDF’s oil operation is based, and everything in Der el-Zor is run out of there. If the US left it, the operation to the south would fall apart and the SDF internal revenue would collapse
