Washington allied with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other rogue partners continue arming and providing other material support for imported death squads - used to try toppling the legitimate, overwhelmingly popular Syrian government.

Peace talks mock legitimacy, cover for Obama’s real objective - regime change, destroying Syrian sovereignty, replacing it with US controlled puppet governance, tyranny by any standard. Death squad fighters continue pouring across Turkey’s border into Syria unimpeded - terrorists Washington calls “moderate rebels.”

Russia’s General Staff Main Operational Directorate head General Sergey Rudskoy cited “reliable information (indicating) a large-scale offensive operation is being planned with the aim (of) cut(ting) the road (and communications between) Aleppo and Damascus.”

Around 10,000 Jabhat al-Nusra fighters are involved. “Syria’s northern areas may be besieged again, if these operations by terrorists are not upset.”

“The Syrian army and Russian aircraft have not focused on disrupting these plans of Jabhat al-Nusra gangs. There are no plans for storming Aleppo.”

Most terrorist forces are concentrated southwest of Aleppo, remaining numbers north of the city.

Separately, Russia’s Defense Ministry accused Ankara of shelling Syrian forces, saying:

“Once again, Syrian territory came under shelling by the Turkish Armed Forces. Between 8:30 a.m. and 9:20 a.m. (local time) on April 10, 2016, Turkish artillery shelled Syrian government positions in the Latakia province from the town of Metisli in Turkey. At 13:00, an artillery strike hit the town of Gebelli from the same positions.”

US-led Western countries support its aggression. Obama’s objective remains firm since launching war on Syria in March 2011.

They include colonizing the country, partitioning it for easier control, looting its resources, exploiting its people, eliminating an Israeli rival, isolating Iran, then targeting the Islamic Republic the same way.

Bipartisan evil forces in America intend endless wars of aggression for unchallenged global dominance. WW III seems inevitable.
