New findings in the Egyptair crash in May
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-38330316

Looks like terrorism can't be ruled out. This is intriguing as fire was detected in the cockpit near one of the side windows/panels and the avionics bay. It will be interesting to see how this all adds up to one coherent picture.

It looks like the second ceasefire is holding and the evacuation has begun.

Quote:

An operation to evacuate a besieged rebel-held enclave in the Syrian city of Aleppo is now well under way.
Syrian state TV showed footage of ambulances and a long line of green buses leaving eastern Aleppo.
BBC producer Riam Dalati says the first convoy has now arrived at a "handover point" in rebel-held areas to the west.

It has to hold up Jim, I can't see anything in that city worth fighting over anymore. Completely destroyed.

I wonder what the aftermath will bring in terms of an embargo toward Putin (Assad probably won't dare risk leaving Syria other than travelling to the likes of Russia)?

The way things are going, there will be a lot of accusations but nothing will come of it sadly.

Yeah, you could well be right....until after next January anyway.

Embargo?

Embargo?!

Haven't you heard? Putin's the good guy now, there's not going to be any embargo. What Putin has done to Syria is all good, and will probably wind up getting the trade restrictions dropped.

Can't disappoint our Moscow masters after all.

Once Trump takes office, the sanctions against Putin and his cronies will be lifted. Bet on it!!

Russia has a vested interest in Syria, Still not sure what the U.S' end game is. The last couple of times we got involved in "king making" in that area, the outcomes were less than optimal. If it were my call, I'd be tempted to call it a day, and let the natives fight it out among themselves without interference.

Well, it doesn't exactly belong in here but the Turkish authorities have just prohibited a German high school in Ankara to teach anything about Christmas...

Stop the funding....it'll be their loss.

Oberon · 12-18-16, 11:11 AM

We're stuck with it, because look at that.

Bin Ladens son denied entry into Egypt, so guess where he decided to go? Turkey!!

If I were an evil man i'd say it's a large country for the region. Maybe it'd look much better partitioned into thirds or even quarters.
