Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.
Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.
Seems SDF are advancing in the countryside of Raqqa near Tabqah.

Palmyra , leave to the Air Force to slice and dice . Deir Azzor , if not beefed up and really secured , will be lost next . If it is lost , together with Raqqa , will be the division of Syria , the new ” Sunnistan”.

If Russia is not going to put ground forces into Syria,
What % risk is this vs UAE,Saudi and other country send trained Mercs ( over 80,000 already? ) to …fight with ISIL
And then get USA Drone assist…Air tactical. ..US Airbases supply….
Overland supply from Jordan and The Vulture of Evil Turkey?
No rocket science degree needed to realize Syria does not have the soldiers to match this.
The @ Mullahs of Iran are more interested in Boeing Jet contracts and probably deal backroom
Israhell to not attack them.
