#1 EuroNews and much of the other mindless European media outlets are parroting what ever their Islamic Overlords such as Erdogan tells them to say. They are embedded with Turkey's Al Qaeda near Afrin and had images of thousands of cars stacked bumper to bumper on the highways leading out of Afrin and claiming the YPG are not letting people leave.

In reality, hundreds of thousands of Kurds have chosen to stay in Afrin and as a defensive measure they have lined hundreds of cars up along the highways coming into Afrin to prevent access to the city by the Turks and Al Qaeda while the YPG eliminate those cowards who get enough courage to come in via the ditches along the highways.

The embedded Euro Winnie Media shows Al Qaeda "fighters" who the media are instructed to say are near Afrin, cowering and hiding every time they hear a shot fired.

#2 I saw those pictures of cars lined up, with that caption. Thank you for explaining what is really going on, Ulaigum Ebbineng7056. Fred mentioned recently that Rantburg is a raw intel stream for several War on Terror websites. I have no doubt they are paying close attention to these reports of yours.

#3 Thank you TW. Everything I post comes from as close to the atomic level (eye witness level) as I can find from the battle fields. Soldier videos are almost required to be approved by their press offices before public domain access but that is for intelligence reasons.

#4 I seldom link to a news source. The first atomic level (as I like to call it) video has you standing behind the soldier firing the AK47. The second video has you on a roof top while missiles are dropping all around you. After a while of being in the shoes of the witness (which is impossible but close, there is much, much more fear inside you if are actually there wearing those shoes) you can tell what is really going on after viewing a potentially biased media outlet report of the same battle field.

#5 Somewhere around 95% of all intelligence reporting is derived form unclassified (UNCLAS) or so-called 'open sources' such as UE's reports and vids. These UNCLAS pieces then become the foundation or supporting documentation for classified intelligence assessments, reports, and updates. I am confident these videos and reports are not being overlooked....by either side of the conflict.
