From the latest edition of the DEBKAfile newsletter it is asserted that American and Russian military forces will begin to operate in harmony to defeat the combatants of the Islamic State [ISIL]. EVEN A COMBINED OPERATION?
"US and Russia to free Palmyra after Trump sworn in"
15 January.
"Some of the ambiguity and mystery surrounding the nature of President-elect Donald Trump's relations with Russia's Vladimir Putin may disperse after the new US president takes office Thursday, Jan. 20, because one of their first joint military actions is ready to go."
"a combined US, Russian, Syrian and Jordanian force is preparing for a major operation to liberate the Syrian heritage town of Palmyra from the Islamic State."
PREVIOUSLY I had thought Palmyra had been liberated. Portions of the city once again under ISIL control? JOINT operation in what manner not specified.
Coalition warfare rarely succeeds! We shall see!
See previous blog entry the topic of which was Palmyra:
