-ADMITTING DEFEAT: US Threatens to Make life of Assad Regime ‘As Miserable as Possible’
The United States, along with its allies, will implement a “strategy of isolation” in Syria if President Bashar Assad maintains the political process aimed at ending the war in Syria, an American diplomat was quoted as saying.
US Special Representative for Syria Jim Jeffrey said Washington would work with countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East to impose tough international sanctions on Syria if Damascus did not want to cooperate to change the constitution before the elections.
“If the regime does that, we believe that then we can go after it the way we went after Iran before 2015 – with really tough international sanctions,” Jeffrey said
“Even if the U.N. Security Council won’t pass them we will just do it through the European Union, we will do it through our Asian allies, and then we will make it our business to make life as miserable as possible for that flopping cadaver of a regime and let the Russians and Iranians, who made this mess, get out of it,” Jeffrey said

Largest rebel group in southern Idlib rejects buffer zone agreement
The Free Syrian Army’s Jaysh Al-Izza faction released a statement that announced their discontent with the Idlib agreement and their official rejection of the 15-20km deep buffer zone. The rebel group added that they won’t retreat from the designated buffer zone and that they will not reopen the Latakia-Aleppo Highway until the Syrian government releases all the detainees from their prisons.
Jaysh Al-Izza is arguably one of the most powerful groups in the Idlb Governorate; their rejection of the buffer zone could cause a major problem for the Turkish military, as they were tasked with convincing the rebels to adhere to this agreement.

US-backed Forces Advance On ISIS Positions In Hajin Pocket
The SDF kicked off its advance on Hajin about three weeks ago, However, so far, the SDF has not been able to deliver a devastating blow to the terrorist group there even with massive support from the US-led coalition.
NOTE: This is the same MO as the Obama admin, US backed forces only give illusion of fighting ISIS. Everywhere else they are being defeated. Are they incompetent or is this the US cabal?
