[NOTE FROM STRAYA ANON: This offensive has apparently been in the works since July. Jordan flipped on Saturday, cut support and funding to the terrorist around Daraa, ordered them to stop sending more men to Damascus, and began coordinating with Russia. The terrorists began wondering about a conspiracy between Jordan and Russia. Looks like they were right. Daraa soon.]
