Answer this, the Syrian Democrat Forces are who defeated ISIS and threw them out of their capital of Raqqa and has defeated ISIS more than Russia and Syria and Iran and Hezbollah. When were the Syrian Democratic Forces formed? They were already formed before 2017.

Valery Gerasimov, head of Russia’s General Staff, said Moscow had information that rebels in the enclave of eastern Ghouta were planning to fake a chemical weapons attack against civilians and blame it on the Syrian army.
