South Front what about using the term liberated instead of captured? ;)

Liberated is massively overused, captured is a welcome alternative.
Daniel
Capture is more something you would say when something which wasn’t yours is taken. Since the army is freeing the villages from a foreign force I would say it’s liberating. Liberated cannot really be overused since it only can be used for the army’s actions.

What if the territory was in open revolt against Assad when ISIS took over?
Daniel
Well if it was in revolt it would also be mainly by foreign fighters. Syria was invaded by around 200.000 foreigners to start the revolt.

How about military neutral : retook/have retaken, secured, ?
Daniel
Secured would be okay, but to take still sounds like it wasn’t theirs in the first place.

ISIS probably have withdraw most of its forces in the region . Despite that TF have largely left the advance will continue

Within 2 weeks at most the SAA will be advancing from Palmeria, Deir Hafa and Deri Azur towards Raqqa. This announcement of an attack at Deir Azur is a US Trump plan / faint to distract ISIS so they don’t bring more reinforcements to Raqqa.. Taking Raqqa will be tough as it is the holly city of the Califate. Let the kurds and the USA sustain big losses there. The SAA can move in to help when the battle is almost over. The Kurds won’t be staying in the Raqqa or any non-kurdish area once the Turkish army launches a full scale invasion to attack them in North East Syria, which may be any day from the looks of it.
Good news in Hama as well. Now the SAA and Russia must make sure those terrorists taking part in the Hama offensive do not escape.
This Turkish dispute with Russia is just part of what I believe is an ingenious Russian / Turkey secret plan. Turkey threatens Russia etc. while at the same time giving the Zionist empire an ultimatum on the Kurds. Looks like Turkey will pull out of NATO and attack the Kurds in Eastern Syria which is good for Syria, Russia and Turkey as it defeats the Yinon plan to carve up Turkey, Syria and Lebanon for a greater Israel.
It’s no coincidence that Russia just completed its MIR payment system to connect with China’s payment system and possibly Turkey, Iran and Syria and others to replace and bypass SWIFT; as the Zionist empire will certainly cut Turkey out of swift to try to destroy the Turkish economy for leaving NATO and defying the plans of the racist supremacist master Jewish race, so turkey will need to be part of the Russian Mir payment system to avoid economic collapse and regime change.
