I would caution everybody about taking ANYTHING at fave value during this particular period in the Middle East.

For one, the Turks are allegedly providing "technical" and logistical support, while their Syrian jihadis are doing the fighting.
The Turkish-backed jihadis have zero fighting skills.

"Al-Qaeda" in Syria--now called Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)--steadily retreated from the Turkish National Front for Liberation, a coalition of the worst jihadis is Syria.
The jihadis that Turkey backed were indistinguishable from the Islamic State.

When the National Front for Liberation had been drawn deep inside northwestern Syria, HTS launched 21 simultaneous ground offensives.
From January 9 to 10, 2020, the National Front for Liberation was essentially exterminated.

These were terrorists who made beheading videos.

Abdulla al-Issa was a 19-year-old Syrian Arab Army soldier who Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki murdered.
They taunted him in multiple sessions over several days before cutting off his head.

The Iranians had delivered al-Issa to Zenki from a Syrian military hospital.

@JohnBrennan's CIA armed and trained Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki, calling them "moderate Islamists."
Zenki's desperate flight to Afrin was stopped by air power.

Of course there are no known terrorist groups with air power.

This man hurriedly ducked away from the camera as the totally intact convoy was being filmed.

I have no idea what he's wearing.
My best guess is that he's outfitted in head-to-toe armor made of non-Newtonian material.
In the past, armor had a limit to how much it could stop.

The impact of the bullet would destroy the plate so that it couldn't be used again, and the bullet would still cause blunt-force trauma.
Theoretically, non-Newtonian armor can stop ANY round, because the material locks up and distributes the kinetic energy AROUND the body, preventing contact with the soldier.

If a man can remain on his feet when hit with a .50-caliber bullet, he can keep on running.
I've found other examples of totally unknown full-body armor that's soft.

These suits were used in Syria and Iraq.

They're worn when a unit makes a frontal attack.
If the bullets can't even injure you, it means that you can run directly into the fire and kill the people shooting at you.

There's no literature whatsoever about these body suits.

I'm sure that they're meant to be worn for only a short time.
So the Turkish-back jihadis were all killed, as in down to th last man.

In Libya, Obama and Hillary, and Samantha Power overthrew Gaddafi and then left.

The first thing the Libyans did was start massacring black people.
Libya ended up with two governments.

Of course the UN recognizes the government full of Islamists.

The other government is secular. General Khalifa Haftar is head of the secular Libyan National Army (LNA).
Haftar is an American citizen!

He tried several times to overthrow Gaddafi, and he has close contacts in the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency.

The Libyan National Army is under the command of the by the internationally recognized House of Representatives.
So the global community recognizes BOTH governments in Libya.

Obama and Hillary created a catastrophe that seemed to have no solution.

The key to all this is that there's NO GENUINE COMBAT FOOTAGE coming from Libya.
It's very likely that everything we're seeing is kabuki meant to rid the country of Islamists.

Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia support the House of Representatives, while the Turks support the Government of National Accord.
