ISIS/ISIL conflict in Syria/Iraq (No OpEd, No Politics)

Who was it that first verbified the name Putin, here?



Funny, isn't it, that a subsequent verbification would occur, a day later, in the same thread, and referencing the same interaction?



Eerie, ain't it, how similar those quotes are, in substance?

Don't fret Taxiya, you're not the first to neglect this. Words enter usage from a variety of sources at a variety of times. Notice that I neither felt the need to defend my verbification on it's first appropriation, nor did I feel the need to defend it against your appropriation.

But, I will defend it against false-attributions! And, especially against third-party arbitrators that feel the need to advance and defend false attributions.

I thought my verbification more beautiful than yours but yours was the inspiration.
I never expected this discussion but I should have. Some years ago someone looked at the inventors of physical laws named after people and hardly any were named after the right (wo)man.

The way I understand it was the government forces who told the US commanders which in turn called in the air strikes hope that's not the case and it was some kind of technological mechanical issues

MSF said that they repeatedly sent the exact coordinates of the hospital to the US forces as well as the Afghan ones. The US command was responsible for getting the information to its forces and no Afghan could interfere in that matter. So either the aircraft did not know and someone was criminally negligent or the aircraft did know and a war crime was committed. MSF has considerable clout so in the end, ( in fifteen years time ? ), we will know.

The war is not about area but about people and transport routes.
Most Syrians live in government territory.
Russia and Jordan have established a military coordination centre in Amman to obstruct supplies to "rebels" in South Syria.
Syria needs to be able to attack and destroy Daesh and first to liberate Aleppo. Anyone blocking those routes is an ally of Daesh and needs to be destroyed however moderate they are in the eyes of their sponsors. The real moderates will sign cease fires as soon as possible.
