Powerful Explosions Shake Damascus As Israel Attacks Syria For Second Time In Past Week

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Citizens in Syria's capital woke up early on Sunday to a series of powerful explosions shaking the outskirts of Damascus, sending massive fireballs into the night sky. Preliminary reports that this was an Israeli attack were subsequently confirmed by NBC citing a senior US official who said Israeli jets had bombed a military research center near of Damascus. This would be the second Israeli attack on Syrian territory in the past week, following US media reports that Israel targeted a weapons shipment to the militant group Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon overnight Thursday to Friday, although the Jewish state has refused to confirm or deny the bombing. As RT further reports, during the attack, one Israeli jet was reportedly shot down by Syria's Air Force, according to Hezbollah's Manar TV channel, citing security sources in Damascus. This has yet to be confirmed through official channels although if accurate one expects Syrian media to promptly confirm with video evidence.

Video coverage of tonight's bombing has already appeared on Youtube:

More from RT:

Israel declined to comment on the attack, but the blasts occurred a day after an Israeli official said his country had carried out an air strike targeting a consignment of missiles in Syria intended for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

 

One of the sites hit on Sunday, the Jamraya military research centre, was also targeted by Israel in January.

 

"The new Israeli attack is an attempt to raise the morale of the terrorist groups which have been reeling from strikes by our noble army," Syrian television said, referring to recent offensives by President Bashar al-Assad's forces against rebels.

 

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights quoted eyewitnesses in the area as saying they saw jets in the sky at the time of the explosions.

 

It said the blasts hit Jamraya as well as a nearby ammunition depot. Other activists said a missile brigade and two Republican Guard battalions may also have been targeted in the heavily militarised area just north of Damascus.

According to AFP, the previous attack destroyed surface-to-air missiles recently delivered by Russia that were being stored at Damascus airport, and would be delivered to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Stratfor adds the following perspective:

Israeli officials have privately stressed that Israel maintains its own specific redlines in the Syrian conflict and that despite U.S. President Barack Obama's reported stance, the use of chemical weapons against rebels is not one of them. Specifically, Israeli officials have stressed that they will not tolerate transfers of chemical weapons, ballistic missiles, advanced air-defense systems or sophisticated anti-ship missiles to Hezbollah -- or jihadist seizures of such weapons.

 

Over the past months, the Syrian regime has also effectively withdrawn its forces from the Golan Heights in order to use them against the rebel threat encroaching on Damascus. This has heightened Israeli concern that jihadists will take advantage of the security vacuum in the Golan Heights to begin staging attacks against Israeli units in the area. Israel has said such action will not be tolerated.

 

Countries near Syria are already feeling the effects of the war. A massive influx of refugees is adding further stress to the already unstable economies of Lebanon and Jordan, and earlier this week a Turkish guard was killed in a border dispute with armed Syrians. Iraq is seeing increased jihadist activity linked to the Syrian conflict. As the conflict in Syria continues to rage, the spillover effects from the civil war will continue to manifest themselves.

It was not immediately known what the "defensive" purpose of tonight's offensive was, which supposedly targeted a military research base, nor was it clear if Syria will ultimately declare a state of war with Israel following the past week's dramatic escalation in hostilities.

Most importantly, it is not known if following last week's provocative language out of the White House if this is precisely the event sought by the Obama administration to finally give the green light to a joint military operation targeting Syria.

The last question is how Russia responds, whether it remains neutral, or comes to the support of president Assad and defends its military naval assets on the Syrian coast.

While speculation a US-led escalation is ripe, the lack of any US naval support (as shown by Stratfor's naval update map from May 2) off the coast of Syria likely makes any immediate war is hardly likely, or that Israel will be on its own for at least the foreseeable future.

Francis, although what you say is true, I think you are missing part of the picture and part of the way things work ("good cop / bad cop").  The greatest power is illuminati (white supremacists, masters of sophistry), and as usual they use the Jewish supremacists (talmudists) for much of their dirty work.

 

A very good source of info on all this is Svali, an ex-illuminati who managed to basically tell all. (http://svalispeaks.com)

 

At the very least, it is naive to think that only Jewish supremacists are organized and masterfully deceitful.  The slave trade that jews ran, was being run at the behest of the European elites, who thought it was a great thing that the 'bad jews' would take all the blame while the white 'nobility' took most of the profits...

All I can be sure of is one thing... As long as there is a printing press [electronic or otherewise]... The WHITE MAN will be blamed for everything... Those so called Jewish talmudist supremacists, once again, are just unfortunate victims of circumstance... Write it 100x on the chalkboard... No dinner until you've completed your assignment...

You are ridiculous.  I did not say that the Jewish talmudists were blameless, innocent, or anything other than monstrous racist sociopaths.  I'm saying they aren't alone, and in fact they are SO OBVIOUSLY BAD because they are playing the "bad cop" to the illuminati "good cops".

 

You are just like an israeli: for them, jews can do no evil and it's all someone else's fault.  For you, the white elites are "just unfortunate victims of circumstance", eh?  Who was it that HIRED the jews to do the moneylending in Europe for millenia, who made it THE LAW that only they could do that dirty business (with most profits going to the crown, as the price to pay for that right)?

 

Are you going to argue that the jews had so much power that they could control everything and yet not avoid the pogroms?  Pogroms that the European elites encouraged as a fun way to keep their hired talmudists in check...

Descendents of Sephardic Jews who remained in Israel and changed religions... Need to be specific...

Sephardic jews "who remained in Israel"?

I seriously doubt that, considering Sephardi means Spanish and refers to the Iberian jews (hence the name...), who, btw, established as traders, like the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, etc., before the Romans, not expelled by these.

"Sephardic Jews are the Jews of Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Middle East and their descendants. The adjective "Sephardic" and corresponding nouns Sephardi (singular) and Sephardim (plural) are derived from the Hebrew word "Sepharad," which refers to Spain.

 

Sephardic Jews are often subdivided into Sephardim, from Spain and Portugal, and Mizrachim, from the Northern Africa and the Middle East."

http://www.jewfaq.org/ashkseph.htm

Though the jews were driven from Palestine by the Romans, they later fared much better under the Muslims - under whom they were allowed to travel freely through all of the muslim-controlled lands, both Sunni and Shi'a.

Sephardis are generally recognised as having darker/dusky skin and shorter stature, while the AshkeNAZIs fit perfectly with Hitler's "master race": taller with fair skin, hair and eyes (though the Ashkenazis are genetically distinct from the Nordics). However, these differences are often blurred through intermarriage.

The only Jews who changed religions were those who were forced to become Roman Catholic by the Spanish Inquisition after the muslims were driven out of Spain ... and the Sabbatean Ashkenazis who first converted to Islam in Turkey, then later to Roman Catholicism in Poland, whereupon they infiltrated European aristocracy and banking.

Yes ~ & as of 1931, 92& of all jews were Ashkenazis... The number is still north of 80%... Calling what the lion's share of the population by another name, whether technically true or not, [ostensibly to deflect criticism] is a cop out...

Look ~ I'm not here to condemn all jews [I've said this before]... What bothers me is the asymmetric effort devoted towards giving this tribe a FREE PASS on all the shit that goes on in the world which they have their fingerprints all over by way of the overrepresentation in power & control nodes [which cascade down from money & banking, to media propaganda, & later political activism, & blind law]...

Look behind each of the so called 'pillars' that support a society & you'll see a band of jews... It's like that by determination, not chance...

So ~ by extension... If everything is fucked up... Then take some responsibility for it... Or ~ If there is no surgical solution to the problems at large, then, these PILLARS must fall... I don't see many jews lining up to fall on their swords [to many ill gotten gains to hope for that reality]... Worse [for jews]... Since they're only 2%... If & when the zombies actually wake up and see what's going on, they're going to be mighty pissed... Anger, naturally, will be directed somewhere & whether or not an individual jew was involved or not it won't matter...

The least anybody has to worry about are francis_sawyer comments on ZH... Instead ~ you should fear the 98% that will become the vigilante justice service when the moment of awakening comes... I won't be participating... But if you're a thinking person, you should ber able to see that phenomenon coming from a mile away...

The original jews were ALL Ashkenazi (Khazarian). The Sephardi [type] arose through inter-marriage with the local semites in the area the Khazarians had invaded (and also during their time in captivity in Babylon). The names 'Ashkenazi' and 'Sephardi' are recent, not ancient - but the ideological separation goes all the way back to the Pharisees and Sadducees of biblical times.

The point is that the pogroms of Russia and Poland (instigated by Ashkenazis), then the later ethnic cleansing by Hitler (financed by Ashkenazis), and current actions in Israel (carried out by the Ashkenzazi Labour and Likud Zionists) are to eliminate the "inferior" Sephardi and establish the "master race" of the original Ashkenazi blood line.

Indeed, I strongly suspect that the desired 500 million remaining earthly inhabitants 'après le deluge' - as chiselled into the Georgia Guidestones - are intended to be the spawn of the Khazarians plus some remaining goy slaves to polish their golden trinkets.

I think you understand that I'm not challenging your representation here... You're is a more 'technical' portrayal... Whereas I usually speak in terms of, what I guess I'd describe as, the "spirit of the plan"...

& again... Not that every single jew, down to the last man, is directly responsible for, or involved in "the master plan"... kito [right here on ZH], if I were a pass hander outer, would easily get a pass... What irks me, instead, are the serial junkers [which indicate denial]... I call them 'ECONOMIC HOLOCAUST DENIERS'...

Anyway ~ it's almost a given, by now, that when the subject comes up, you'll see a handful of comments which label francis_sawyer as a 'hate monger'... "Why won't you let it go?" [they plead]... & to that I answer as I always do... When somebody can successfully argue the asymmetric aspects of the power nodes, then I'll stop... 3 years now & ZERO answers... So, I fear that the final answer might come by way of a black swan dismantling of the pillars of society... A bridge too far... In that moment, there will be far more important things to worry about than passing spare time on an internet blog publishing a chronicle & witnessed testimony to world history in the making...

If you ever bothered to read some of my earlier posts (particularly from a year or so ago), or those of Joyful more recently, then you'd cease to be blinded by the 'Joo' tag and instead look at the real power - which morphs through time as these Khazarian Khameleons change their religion and point of focus - like changing a suit of clothes and plaisir du jour - to further their long-term aims.

Firstly, and most importantly, you must understand that 'Ashkenazi' and 'Jesuit' do not equate to 'Jew' and 'Catholic' ... they are konvenient kovers, separate from those mainstream religions, and pseudonyms for the one Kabbalist Kult that kurrently kontrols world politics, banking and religion to a very large degree - with some 'mopping-up' operations still in progress in places such as Iran and Syria, and some spinning plates teetering on shaky poles in Europe.

If and when you can grasp that first principle, maybe we can talk....

Fuck your condescending 'grasping of principles'... What I'm saying is that... in practice... the distinction doesn't matter... It's a point for intellectuals to debate that produces BUPKIS in terms of human learning, which, sadly is shuffled way to the back of the line in moments of crisis...

Assuming it occurs [& it probably will some day]... Joe trailer trash, or any crip or blood on the street isn't going to stop and try to distinguish a Khazar from a kito... Hell ~ in that moment, even 'Sally soccer mom' will probably join the side of the red & blue bandanas because her little shithead that has an a Wall of Fame of 6th place trophies won't be going to college...

The inclination in that moment will be to shoot now & ask questions later...

... and that will be because of people like you who scream JOO in every thread!!

francis_sawyer's picture

Yeah... Once again... The collapse of civilization will be directly attributed to fucking francis_sawyer comments...

~~~

1. The world is... supposedly... civilized

2. The power nodes [pillars] of civilization... In this go around... are...

- banking

- MSM

- political activism

- jurisprudence

3. Things... globally... Are pretty fucked up

4. If one were to assume that there is no surgical solution to the problems that exist [to bring about more peace & better equality], then the <above> pillars need to be dismantled

 

So... as soon as we all get to the job of 'intellectual debating' as to the micro sub classification of certain Khazars, I'm sure the whole situation, to a man, will tidily resolve itself...

Note: I'm not AGAINST that idea, but 'human nature' probably speaks otherwise... There is a joke somewhere in this thread about a frog & scorpion that pretty well sums up the Khazar/Joo subdivision...

Note2: Another 'fallacy' that I've failed to mention is the following... Let's assume your premise & go ahead & divide Khazars from jews at large... Let's go ahead & say that 'some' of the so-called 'successful' jews [who are given the 'success' label solely based on how much paper money they make, which is, arguably, their own metric of success & has little to do with contributions to humanity]... Anyway ~ let's assume that NOT ALL of them were your definition of KHAZAR MASTERMINDS...

It doesn't matter...

Because if & when society crumbles, these people will lose their status & wealth... How?... Because their status & wealth [as well as everyone elses] is tied to the joobuck system... If you want to call it a Khazarbuck system, be my guest, but it's still the same system...

In that moment, individuals will quickly take sides...

1. Try & preserve the corrupt system [so as to avoid losing personal status & wealth]

2. Say goodbye to the old system, embrace a new system, [which probably means forefeitting status & wealth]

So ~ even if you never were an EVIL KHAZAR before, you default to becoming one by supporting their system as & when its being threatned out of existence...

The point [& distinctions] are therefore moot...

Here's a list of things that offend me that I hope you DO bring up:

1. The Khazarian muthafuckas (Jesuit and Ashkenazi alike) that sit in secret meetings deciding who the sheep can choose from to vote on and which nation state is the next to be dismantled and incorporated into one of their Kontrol Unions.

2. The following Secret Kabbalist Societies:

* Bilderberg (steering kommittee for international political and financial action - started by a Khazarian Jesuit and now run by a Khazarian geriatric)

* Council For National Policy (steering kommittee for Fundamentalist Christian NeoKon action - started by a Khazarian Jesuit and source of most of Alex Jones' "guests" and George Washington's talking points)

* Skull & Bones (recruiting ground for spooks and political operatives - started with opium money in honour of a Khazarian Jesuit)

* Knights of Malta (the Jesuit 'militia' - membership almost a pre-requisite to becoming a top spook).

3. Anything else you wish to discuss. I haven't asked Dickhead_Sawyer to do anything other than be more accurate in who he asks us to hate.

Footnote: The Jesuits were founded by a Khazarian Jew.

I don't know where you got that the original Jews were Khazarian, since these supposedly converted to Judaism.

As for the Sephardi, the name may be fairly recent, but they themselves (supposedly Judeans) are pretty ancient, since they got to Iberian peninsula as early as 2000 years ago, around the same time as other Mediterranean trading people (Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, etc.), and before the Romans.

I see you are quoting from your 3rd grade history book again! The original Khazarians arrived in Turkey, Palestine and Egypt 2,700 years before that bunch to which you refer converted to Judaism.

On your second point: the Phoenicians and Carthaginians were the Khazarians that had been driven back out of Egypt nearly 1,000 years before the creation of Judaism ... and 1,500 years before the Romans invaded Judea.

Oh, and mighty history book you must have there... well, guess you won't find this even the slightest amusing (or worth of even the 2nd grade, let alone 3rd, I guess): "Starting in the 8th century, the Khazar royalty and much of the aristocracy are reported to have converted to Judaism." - yep, you guessed it right: it's from the Wikipedia. what else...

But this time that mythical holocaust might become a self-fulfilling reality.

There are many who are not religious in the slightest, but hide behind the label 'jew', so that, if you criticize their ACTIONS, they can always claim that you hate JEWS (i.e. that you are irrational, when in fact, you are using logic). 

Meanwhile, the other benefit is that jews will not criticize other jews (at least I've never seen it).  So every crime that is committed by the media (dumbing down the populace, lying non-stop) and banks (usury, fractional reserve banking, fiat currency) is somehow NOT a crime, and should not be spoken of, let alone criticized...

Of course, nobody ever bothers to wonder about, or talk about such oddities because the nanosecond you bring up the topic of 'jews' in any conversation whatsoever, your comment is moderated out of existence...

Bloomturd is a perfect example a community not being willing to self criticize.

The inbreeding and unwillingness to self criticize create separation obstacles, but also masks the fact the club isn't exclusive to its perceived membership prerequisites.

Correct the Jewish Khazar State of Israel is anti-Semitic.

The so called Ashkenazi Jews which account today for appx. 90 % of the people of Jewish believe do have very little genetic connection with the people of Palestine. They share the Jewish religion but are genetically no Semites. While the so called Palestians are Semites. 

Read the proof. A paper published in December 2012 for the first time shows clearly, that 90 % of the present Jewish believers are of Caucasian origin.  Genetically they are close related with the Georgians and the Armenians.  So to say Netanyahu is more a relative to Joseph from Georgia than to the Joseph from Israel.

http://gbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/5/1/61.full

This is a sensation but its ignored by MSM since it would pull the rug under the myth that all Jews are genetically connected and can be traced back to Abraham.

Was watching recently a (totally unrelated) documentary (about Amália Rodrigues' song writer Alain Oulman), where an interviewee who had been asked help for someone else (can't remember the exact characters or circumstances) recalls it this way: "I was asked to help her, but she was Sephardi and I was Ashkenazi, so why should I help her?"...

How about mentioning all the FACTS?

Iran and Russia qho have been supplying arms to Assad as he butchers citizens of his country after dacades of oppresing the Sunni majority by use of force and starting a couple of wars against Israel.

And Syrian knew full well that the weapons that were bombed were sent from Iran to Hezbollah in order to establish peace, or is this type of interventionism is actually a part of ongoing campaign by the oppresive/aggresive Iranian regime to biuld deterence around its nuclear plan, which is of course greared toward 'peaceful uses and research' (in multiple locations and underground)?

Might this be a well-planned Syrian/Iranian provocation, crossing red lines that the international community (including Turkey, Jordan, the Saudis and others) have communicated several times to Assad?... Na, it's all Israel and thos Joooz

Most people on ZH sound like leftist collectivists with their bullshit theories about Jews running the world, causing all wars, and that somehow Israel is the cause of Arabs own fucked-up societies.

Israel is the only advanced, modern economy and democracy in the Mid-East, and the haters blame Israel for its own success, and expect them to sit around and do nothing while Baathist dictators like Saddam Hussein or Assad or Al Qaeda's friends turn Syria into a hell-hole?

Kito - the red arrows are not from me. You have right to your opinion. Let me disagree with you - Iran will come with the aid to Syria. I don't mean attacking Israel as this would be foolish but there are other smarter ways to do it.

The modern warfare centers around the rockets and Iran has growing arsenal. They will deliver them to Hezbollah and to Syria. If needed they will finance Russian made rockets delivered to Assad. Some of these rockets achieve Mach 20 speed. All of Israels Iron Dome bs is utterly useless against it.

This is Middle East and the conflicts and memories run in thousands of years. Nothing is forgotten there. Nothing forgiven. The hell is about to break lose there and Russia and China will not sit idly. Israel will pay dearly for it.

followed by effect... the provocation of the Syrians to respond to sraeli aggression as excuse to begin full scale boots on the ground invasion by Merikan sionist-puppet forces in a repeat of the revenge invasion of Afghanistan to 'get Bin Laden' after 9-11

Assad's forces have begun mopping up the sionist bankrolled fake jihadis... leading to a crisis in the telaviv\washington control centers...though June was the original target date ... that's now too late.

The war didn't force us off the gold standard  -that was part of the plan. The Banksters needed pure fiat paper to enslave America. Of course the Vietnam war and  the bogus war on poverty, etc. was the means they chose to get the ball really rolling. Americans were on to them in the 1930's -Henry Ford, Lucky Lindbergh, Father Coughlin, etc. -almost a third of America tuned in on Coughlin's weekly radio shows  - WW2 shut down that type of free speech. The internet is causing a revival of the awakening of the 1930's -we all knew who stoled our farms, homes and prosperity. It's happening again. Get ready for the really big one  - it's no coincidence that we have the Orwellian police state being set up, with false flag terrorsit operations occurring with such frequency and HS stockpiling ammo, tanks and AR-15s for the coming war on Americans and America. This is reality-not conspiracy. It's been planned and executed for a very long time. The final chapter appears to be imminent.

"As RT further reports, during the attack, one Israeli jet was reportedly shot down by Syria's Air Force, according to Hezbollah's Manar TV channel, citing security sources in Damascus."

Destroyed or delivered?

From my ZH forum post:

 

With Israel now having conducted two airstrikes on Syrian targets in two days, it seems obvious to me that they are clearing the way for a massive strike against Iran. The Israeli military knows that the first retaliation for such a strike would come from Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, so they are restricting the weapons bound to those forces to limit retaliatory capabilities. Netanyahu declared that Israel would neutralize Iranian nuclear capabilities no later than this Spring - which is about 1/2 over. Certainly he is not now distracted by Syria and is still resolute to hit Iran. Based on his clear "red line" statements, I think it's a virtual certainty that Iran will be attacked before June 21 (the end of Spring 2013). Iran will certainly retaliate, which will radically raise the price of oil (unless this upside-down economic bizarro-world that we live in also somehow inverts this trade *sigh*). I am now positioned long Sept. 2013 Oil Calls in the form of USO Calls. I figured that Sept. contracts gave me plenty of time for Iran to retaliate and to have that impact the price of oil. Sept. contracts out-of-the-money give me huge leverage right now as they are dirt cheap. I expect ROI of more than 100x. I thought it worth posting about so that other ZHers could comment and/or position themselves in the same trade and/or provide me with counter-arguments that might allow me to rethink in the event I've missed something. Cheers!

I remember reading about US and allies preparing for naval exercises beginning tomorrow(iirc) in the Gulf and they're scheduled to last until the end of May. Interesting timing if this spring strike talk is true. ;-)

Keep in mind... if the crude inventory report is correct, the US appears to be topped off and geared up for any potential supply blockages.

I can also see a leapfrog bypassing Syria direct to Iran after all these months of pounding and degrading air defence capabilities.  A very unexpected move is usually the best. I'm sure there are reasons why it couldn't happen though.

You might want to double check what USO is and how it invests before putting significant dough in that trade.  You have the risk of both crummy correlation and being Corzined all in the form of a derivative betting on a limited partnership that invests primarily in futures!  Sounds perfectly safe to me....  /s

United States Oil Fund, LP (USOF) is a limited partnership. USOF is a commodity pool that issues limited partnership interests (units) traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the NYSE Arca). The Company’s general partner is United States Commodity Funds LLC (the General Partner) and is responsible for the management of USOF. The investment objective of USOF is for the changes in percentage terms of its units’ net asset value (NAV) to reflect the changes in percentage terms of the spot price of light, sweet crude oil delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma, as measured by the changes in the price of the futures contract for light, sweet crude oil traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (the NYMEX). USOF invests in futures contracts for light, sweet crude oil, crude oil, heating oil, gasoline, natural gas and other petroleum-based fuels that are traded the NYMEX, ICE Futures or other United States and foreign exchanges (collectively, Oil Futures Contracts) and other oil interests.

Given the number of variables involved and their erratic past behavior I'd compare your position with betting a single number on a broken roulette wheel.

We are a step closer to the Jew World Order. Israel will never risk losing population in an all out attack without the US poodle on side. The Jew controlled mainstream media will be all over this. What is Putin going to do?

putin will get to kick the shit out of the former soviet satellites  w/ O's blessing and putin will sell out assad-it was a gentleman's agreement before the last election. the US and Russia like to bully smaller countries-never to fight a heavyweight championship between themselves.

95% of america doesn't know what or who a chechen is and their history w/ russia and 99% could not find it on  map. most still don't know that these fall guys in boston were chechen. the MSM will explain it to them when putin goes back for a 2nd ass-kicking when I'm sure the CIA will again aid the chechens aginst russia.

Sorry/ the counter intel-pro circulating via the "sibel edmonds*" segment of the compromised whistle-blowersforafemamerika has it all wrong;

Russians have absolutely no need or motivation for cutting deals with the dying sionist imperium...

the decay and dissolution of the moneychangers situation is so advanced that the RUS only need watch n wait. Then drop in to pick up the spoils.

It's the Chinese whose backs are against the wall... the sionist bred and spread SARS 2.0 is a race-specific bioweapon targeting the Sino-Mongolians.

*Sibel was cool... till she let herself indulge in picking up an adopted offspring. They always get to the hard core holdouts through their kids or relatives. Those who have no fear for themselves always cave when the innocents are threatened.

The second Chechen war was long ago concluded. The Russia Republic of Chechnya has been largely restored and the capital rebuilt as a modern city. While some violence exists, it is a former Chechen rebel who rules the republic for Moscow. He does not fuck around, he knows what to do with Jihadists. Chechnya does NOT need to be dealt with, it has already been dealth with and is largely a peaceful republic at present.

Many Jihadists have slipped into Dagestan, and that is where Russia special forces operate by and large at present.

So Putin has not needed to make ANY deal connected to Chechnya. He is in the drivers seat there.  Jihadists bight the dust on a regular basis in Dagestan.

again-putin has his sights set on restoring the  russian empire to it's tsarist-era borders( which include many commodity rich countries)- so he needs the US and NATO to turn a blind eye to his lebensraum.

Extending your sphere of influence...  US, and China do this all the time.  US follows encirclement policies.  China just bought Africa while we were sleeping.

Not that I am pro Hitler, but when the Nazis imposed a quota on Jews in higher enducation, it resulted in an intellectual reniassance in Germany.
