Though U.S. and Russian officials brokered something of a ceasefire inside the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, villages near the city are still being contested. On Saturday, al-Qaeda’s Nusra Front led a major offensive against the village of Khan Touman, just southwest of Aleppo itself, in collaboration with several other U.S.-backed terrorist groups.

Terror sources continue to brag of the "liberation” of the village, while Syrian Army officials dispute the claim that the village has completely fallen in the offensive, maintaining that the battle has not been fully ended.

However, the battle of Khan Touman serves as further proof that despite the ceasefire deal the regime changers led by the United States have no intention to end the conflict altogether. They have also not given up their regime-change fantasies in Syria just yet.

Quite the opposite, they don’t believe in ceasefire, let alone peace talks. Restless, and in desperate need of some hope, the War Party and company are still searching for some sort of victory in that war-torn country, which is wishful thinking.

When Syria launched its offensive against Aleppo, they initially pushed into this area to the south of Aleppo itself, trying to secure supply routes. This, however, also cut off potential Nusra routes from neighboring Idlib, which has made the area of high importance for all sides.

Since then, the counter-terror Alliance of Syria, Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah continue to make gains against the foreign-backed terrorist goons with some major results. Because they are winning, the regime changers continue to violate the ceasefire agreement and make bizarre demands that "Assad must go”. As always, the allied forces will win this battle though. They will also dislodge the Salafi-Takfiri militants from Syria one way or another.

There is no denying that the magnificent gains in recent months over various terrorist groups in Syria have caught the United States and its rogue partners in crime off-guard. Little wonder they are violating the ceasefire deal. Backed by corporate media propaganda, they allege it is the Syrian government that is violating the ceasefire deal. Other silly allegations include Syrian forces and allies bombing refugee camps for the run of it!

The frantic propagandists know it just too well that these barbaric acts are what their terror proxy forces have done in Aleppo and continue to do in other areas under the horrible campaign of regime-change bloodletting.

No doubt it is the death cult of ISIL and its enablers that have committed, and continue to commit war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Syria. The allied forces will liberate Khan Touman in its entirety, as it has nothing to do with sectarian tensions or ceasefire, and everything to do with the Real War on Terror.
