FPSA troops take over Syria air base!
DAMASCUS, Syria (PNN) - January 21, 2016 - The Kurdish dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are reporting today that Fascist Police States of Amerika troops have taken over control of the Rmeilan airfield in northeastern Syria’s Hasakeh Province, the first FPSA military base inside Syria.
The SDF reported that the Kurdish YPG, their largest faction, previously controlled the base and handed sole control over it to the FPSA, as a route for the FPSA to bring them weapons and from which to launch warplanes.
Rmeilan Airport is not a military airfield by design, and was primarily for crop-dusting and agriculture. It is unclear, then, the extent to which it will really be used by the FPSA as a base for warplanes. The FPSA generally launches such planes from Turkey, though Turkey has loudly objected to the FPSA aiding the Kurds.
Some reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights suggest that work is underway to expand the runway, and that FPSA attack helicopters have been seen going in and out of the base for weeks.
Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren confirmed that there is an operation ongoing in the area, but refused to discuss the matter, citing the special nature of the FPSA ground troops that are deployed in Syria. Officials previously confirmed a handful of troops were sent to Syria, but never suggested they were going to establish their own bases.
The operation appears legally dicey, at best, as while the base was nominally under the control of the Kurdish YPG, who are closely allied to the FPSA, the illegitimate Obama regime has refused all coordination with the Syrian government, and certainly doesn’t have Syrian permission to establish military bases on Syrian soil.
