according to the above, most recent "peto lucem" map, the Government cut the supply route I previously posted about (https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/is...no-oped-no-policis.t6913/page-389#post-403729), ...

... but now I read in Twitter claim(s) anti-Government forces cut the Government supply route in the area which I put in red ellipse in the map below (OK I just located the area (before I forget "Al-Ameria" & "Ramouseh"), I don't know if the claims are true, and I don't know about supply route(s) there):

Cutting your enemy's supply route is not the same as reopening your own supply route. It is uncertain how important this is.

China applauds as Britain adds ETIM to terror list

BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) -- China on Thursday applauded Britain's ban on joining or supporting the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), after Britain listed ETIM as a terrorist organization.

The Parliament of Britain on Friday added ETIM as an "Islamic terrorist and separatist organization" to the list of proscribed organizations.

"China applauds Britain's updated terror list, which includes ETIM," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang, adding that China welcomes a clearer understanding of the violent and terror nature and the actual harmfulness of ETIM by other countries, including Britain.

Stressing that ETIM is generally recognized as a terrorist organization by the international community, Lu said terrorism is "the public enemy of all mankind, and anti-terrorism has no national boundaries."

"China would like to work with all parties concerned, including Britain, to enhance counter-terrorism cooperation, fight international terrorism and jointly safeguard global and regional peace, as well as the security of people's lives and property," he added.

I am posting this albeit with a "health warning".
The producers of this video clearly have a mission, but there is meat in their story about deliberate US misinformation during the Turkish Coup attempt and it hones down on the facts very succinctly. So for that and that alone, its worth posting and watching.

I haven't watched it, but still guess it could be interesting for

which organized this poll in Twitter (just to check if it's actually working, I clicked at "The White House"):

Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten

says today the Al Tanf base of US sponsored militants that was bombed by the Russian air force in mid June was also a base of US special forces and from which UK special forces had left the day before.
