Russian Military Presence In Syria Risks "Confrontation" With US-Backed Forces, Kerry Warns Lavrov

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Friday, Vladimir Putin conceded that the scope of Russian military involvement in Syria is “quite serious.”

In a replay of the Kremlin’s official line regarding Russian involvement in Ukraine, Putin did not admit that his soldiers were on the ground to play a direct combat role.

However, the Russian President’s comments did suggest that Moscow’s logistical and technical assistance goes far beyond the purely “political” cover the Kremlin has granted Assad via Moscow’s Security Council veto. It also suggests that Russia isn’t prepared to accept a Syrian state controlled by a puppet government likely to be sympathetic to Washington and Riyadh. 

Of course the official reason for Moscow’s presence in Syria is the same as the Washington’s: they’re both there, ostensibly, to fight ISIS. 

For those who still do not understand that ISIS has become, as we put it earlier, “a kind of catch-all, go-to excuse for legitimizing whatever one feels like doing,” the situation in Syria can be extraordinarily confusing. For instance, at least one mainstream media outlet was having quite a difficult time on Saturday trying to understand why the US seems so concerned about Russia’s presence in Syria when both sides are supposed to be after the same thing - that is, defeating terrorism. The reason is because both sides are not in fact after the same thing, and neither of which cares too much about what does or doesn’t happen to ISIS unless the group’s fate somehow matters in determining whether a post-civil war Syria is still governed by Assad. In short, ISIS has played its role. The Assad regime is destabilized and Damascus is up for grabs. From here on out, it’s all about whether a coalition comprised of the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar ends up in a direct military conflict with Russia and the Assad regime. That would be the geopolitical “main event.” 

Underscoring the above is the alarm with which Russia’s stepped up presence in Syria has been greeted by Washington. Far from being elated that, amid the worst relations between the US and Russia since the Cold War, the two powers are still on the same page when it comes to combating terrorism, Washington is instead worried that the Kremlin is willing to resort to overt military support to shore up Assad’s depleted forces. As a reminder, here’s what the US claims to know (via LA Times):

US intelligence has captured evidence of a significant escalation of Russia's military engagement in Syria's civil war, including satellite images of an apparent Russian base for staging troops and heavy equipment under construction near a port city that is a stronghold for Syrian President Bashar Assad, U.S. officials say.

 

The reconnaissance photos of possible military housing being built near the international airport in Latakia province provides strong evidence of deepening involvement by President Vladimir Putin's government in the four-year-old Syrian war, according to the officials, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

 

In addition, the Russians have asked at least one country bordering Syria for a window of time to fly a detachment of warplanes over its territory and into Syria, the officials said. The officials would not name the country, but Turkey lies between Russia and Syria.

 

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has been on a diplomatic offensive in recent weeks trying to marshal support for a plan to bring peace to Syria that would include a role for Assad. But those talks with Saudi and other Middle East leaders have failed to win over opponents.

 

The new military buildup could reflect a recognition by the Russians that with those talks going nowhere, Assad needs more help from them.

 

"It's pretty obvious that all the Russian logistics preparation is to do something significant in support of Assad," said Christopher Harmer, a military analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, a nonpartisan public policy group in Washington. "At this point, it's too big to be a misdirection."

“Too big to be a misdirection,” which presumably is why John Kerry jumped on the phone with Lavrov on Saturday. The State Department says "the secretary made clear that if such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL coalition operating in Syria.”


Note that if any of what the State Department says there is true, it’s entirely because John Kerry knows that Russian support will allow the Assad regime to continue to fight for control of the country. That is, if anyone actually believed Russia was there to fight ISIS, then one would think the effect would be to decrease refugee flows and lead to fewer civilian casualties as ISIS’ forces are swiftly defeated. After all, the Soviet experience in Afghanistan notwithstanding, one would certainly think that ISIS isn’t operationally capable of waging an extended ground war against the Russian army (as an aside, it would be ironic - given the Soviet-Afghan war - if the Russians end up mired in a protracted conflict with a CIA-backed group of jihadists). However, what would increase refugee flows, lead to greater civilian casualties, and “further escalate the conflict” is if Russia is simply in Syria to help Assad fight on to the bitter end. In other words, the State Department is tacitly admitting that this has very little (and more likely nothing) to do with ISIS.

Here’s The New York Times with more on what Washington claims to know about Russia’s involvement thus far:

Russia has sent a military advance team to Syria and is taking other steps the United States fears may signal that President Vladimir V. Putin is planning to vastly expand his military support for President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, administration officials said Friday.

 

The Russian moves, including the recent transport of prefabricated housing units for hundreds of people to a Syrian airfield and the delivery of a portable air traffic control station there, are another complicating factor in Secretary of State John Kerry’s repeated efforts to enlist Mr. Putin’s support for a diplomatic solution to the bloody conflict in Syria.

 

The Russians have also filed military overflight requests with neighboring countries through September.

 

American officials acknowledge that they are not certain of Russia’s intentions, but some say the temporary housing suggests that Russia could deploy as many as 1,000 advisers or other military personnel to the airfield near the Assad family’s ancestral home. The airfield serves Latakia, Syria’s principal port city.

 


 

American intelligence analysts are also looking at ship loadings in Russia to determine what might be bound for Syria, and one official speculated that the Russian deployment might eventually grow to 2,000 to 3,000 personnel.

 

“There are some worrisome movements — logistical, preparatory types of things.”

Yes, “preparatory types of things” - the million dollar geopolitical question is this: what exactly are they preparing for?

It was fine and dandy for the US to create ISIS to topple Assad.  It was also great that Obama lied about Assad's use of sarin to try to get a major war started as exposed by Seymour Hersh. It is completely fine that US is now bombing Syria

But Russians supporting their traditional ally Syria is completely unacceptable.

Forward - to more war.

So Wrong for So Long

Why neoconservatives are never right.

No, the real problem is that the neoconservative worldview — one that still informs the thinking of many of the groups and individuals who are most vocal in opposing the Iran deal — is fundamentally flawed. Getting Iraq wrong wasn’t just an unfortunate miscalculation, it happened because their theories of world politics were dubious and their understanding of how the world works was goofy. When your strategic software is riddled with bugs, you should expect a lot of error messages.

Fucking warmongers, as if that "accidental" confrontation has not been the plan all along anyways.

Front and center and Rooshiya and Putin ( do note PUT-IN) probably very much in the same game, this is going to be the age of the proxy war.

WWIII will be fought by proxy by confused troops all over the world, with no basis for what or who they are fighting for or against.

The UN-PEACEKEEPERS (please not the ironical pun) as a prime example (it is a growing military force with everything, planes, troops, equipment/bases).

Also, last remaining monarchs and shadow turrrrrrrist groups are the enemy. And by god they will be BOMBED where-ever they go. Too bad if it is your country they decided to infiltrate/take refuge in.

Not to mention of course that all these isil/boko haram/al Q/Nusrat whathefucktri/Thefuckris all bastard spawns of old OSS plots and implantations now managed by the OSS spawned unholy triumverate of CIA/MOSSAD/MI6....

Car-ma is a'comin' for some folk...

The Caliphate, sitting front and center is twitching, eager to throw off their forced secularism at last...

Correction To Main Article...

In short, ISIS has played its role. The Syrians who have been brutally attacked by on going covert US/NATO war crimes for 4 years are hanging on with a grim but dertermined defense of their country. 

From here on out, it’s all about whether an ISRAELI coalition comprised of the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar ends up in a direct military conflict with Russia and the Assad regime. That would be the geopolitical “main event.”

The saddest part about this whole issue is that you have Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter making fun of Western media as described in this Sputnik article:

Western Media Jumped the Gun Reporting on Russian Troops in Syria

and you could replace every instance of British stenogropher's spew in The Times and The Telegraph with 'ZeroHedge said...'. Putins statements simply confirm that Russia continues to support Syria with training and logistics, which was well-known and has been happening at the same rate it always has. The only thing that's different is that Western media's sidden discovery of the refugee crisis (they engineered) coming out simultaneously with 'Twitter' and 'Facebook' tripe on the supposed Russian invasion. 

Which makes it all look like a clumsily-engineered U.S. - U.K. media spin to draw attention to the nothing-special, ongoing Russian involvement in Syria. 

ZATO's Turkish puppet Erdogan (his head, specifically) is going to end up on a pike pretty soon - much sooner than ZATO planned. Saudi Arabia and the UAE just lost a crapload of their Yemeni invasion troops and Saudi losses continue to mount, so ZATO loses their Wahabbi terrorist supply and financing arm. The Kurds are winning thanks to Russian (not ZATO) help. ZATO's terrorist headquarters in Aleppo is crumbling day by day. And now ZATO's air aggression strategy is falling apart. To top it all off, Iraq (with Iranian help) is kicking ZATO's ISIS terrorists ass all over IRAN. 

So - on cue - ZATO rolls out the U.S. and U.K. press to cry about a mythical 'escalation' in Syria when nothing of the sort is happening. Only this time, they don't even try to shine up their 'Russia is invading' hype - the rely on Twitter and Facebook. How sad is it really when the Western spinmeisters have to resort to such amateurish 'facts' to support their spin? Looks like they've given up on the 'Assad is Finished' angle - guess nobody was buying that for the last year or two.

When the Swedes start making fun of ZATO's pathetic PR attempts, you know things must be going REALLY bad for ZATO in Syria. The Swedes are pretty laid back. They never make fun of anybody that I recallexcept the Norwegians. Something about a war five hundred years ago I think.

And then there's this from Moon of Alabama:

BIG Q IS: "WTF are US backed forces doing there? (hint: Kings of Chao, Ordo ab). Russia has had Tartus Base since 1971

"Tartus hosts a Soviet-era naval supply and maintenance facility, under a 1971 agreement with Ba'athist Syria, which was—until the second year of the Syrian Civil War—staffed by Russian naval personnel. Most recently, the facility hosts the Amur class floating workshop PM-138, capable of providing technical maintenance to Russian warships deployed in the Mediterranean.[4]"

No coincidence that US, Russia and China ALL have the Pentangle star in their military insignia. All heading in the same direction, one world military, at which point it will probably be inverted, to appease Baphomet.

Kerry is lying as the Nobel Prize Winner routinely does. Here are the facts:

ISIS: The jihadist movement stamped “Made in America”

The fact remains, however, that the US, the major European powers, and their regional allies all previously lent financial, military and political support to ISIS and similar groups, which have “Made in the USA” stamped all over them. They have, until now, played a significant part in Washington’s efforts to overthrow the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, as part of a broader effort to gain control of the region’s vast energy resources and transit routes.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/07/30/isis-j30.html

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published an article demonstrating that the US government and President Barack Obama knowingly lied when they claimed that the Syrian government had carried out a sarin gas attack on insurgent-held areas last August.

Exactly! That's why the US is dropping supplies to ISIS not bombs on ISIS. The US doesn't even dare bring up ISIS, it would show how transparent their relationship is with their out of control proxy army. We have to remember Bashir al Assad has been freely and fairly elected TWICE since 2002. It's kind of hard to make the argument that Russia is the problem when they're one ones keeping the US from destroying another Middle Eastern country.

Syria and Ukraine are both about removing the Russian monopoly of gas into Europe. Putin would launch WWWIII before losing control of his energy monopoly. Once the U.S. Fails financially Europe will align itself with Russia and China to stay warm on those cold winter nights.

If Europe aligns with Asia, the U.S. Will be by herself, weak, and will crash harder then the U.S.S.R. That's why we are seeing a quickening of the action.

Rather than this being about oil is it not that oil is simply a contingent factor? I mean it is not insignificant, just that there are simply contingent factors which have led to oil being in these countries which are in the path of Asian encirclement. In other words, military plans for Central Asian control have been around for decades and the remaining countries simply contain oil, but that may not be the determining factor.

Syria is one of the remaining countries in the Russian alliance, a hard red line. Libya was unfortunately a soft red line.

That they have gone ahead after encircling Russia with nukes and defenses, and after Russia has warned of nuclear consequences, (not to mention numerous other countries falling and countless false flags) suggests to me that this is extension of plans for the final war. Economic struggle exists as an alternative to war, war does not exist only for economic motives; I think many people have this backwards. They want a world government and that will not come from economic struggles, the economy is dying and seemingly they are willing to dump it for these world struggles.

Further, science demands this extension. The idea in the scientific community is that we are not a full civilisation until we have a world government. And the problem with oil is that it will be more difficult to attain in the future, and alternative energy sources for war machines are a big randomisation factor, nothing more than a gamble. Militarily speaking, this means that war is better now than down the road when oil will be uncertain.

If this is their plan, then oil is mostly a supply lines factor rather than the end goal.

It is important to remember that American politicians are simply empty chairs, they are a facade for the fiction at home. They give their warnings to countries in other ways, ISUS, factories blowing up accidentally, etc. Russia understands these warnings quite well and realises how dangerous the US is.

The old 'bumbling idiots in charge' is a deceptive tactic, a way to confuse people with a sort of unentertainment so they focus on the wrong things. This line of thinking keeps you engaged in their politics, 'If only we had a man like Trump in charge!'.

LAST MONTH, THE BOLIVIAN GOVERNMENT expelled a senior “diplomat” from the US embassy in La Paz, whom it accused of covertly supporting efforts to depose the country’s leftist president, Evo Morales. This past week, Bolivian authorities announced they had foiled operations by a major international anti-government mercenary group operating out of the city of Santa Cruz, a hotbed of anti-government activity in the country’s wealthy eastern provinces. Three of the unit’s members, a Bolivian of Croatian descent, an Irishman and a Romanian, were killed by Bolivian security forces; two others, a Hungarian and another Bolivian of Croatian descent, were captured and are now in custody.

Totalitarian states think offensively .... that huge Norco ammo dump .... close to China .... was war prep for an invasion of the South .... when the CIA torched it .... their invasion plans were set back .... it might have been payback for making Jimmy Carte and Madeline Albright .... look soooooo stooooopid ?

I have no love for totalitarianism at all but your statement is not true in the least.  There have been plenty of dictators who never made plans to invade or conquer other countries.  My assumption is that by "Norco" you mean North Korea.  The Koreas are halves of one country where a civil war never ended.  It is not a good example for either premise.  For my example I will cite Franco's Spain.

Is that some sort of veiled threat or just naked aggression of behalf of the US?  If I were Lavrov I would just unequivocally state to Kerry, mess with us in Syria, and we park our tanks in Paris within ten days.  You don't like it go to war.  Enough with US bullshit already. 

On the upside we have an admission that the US is responsible for the mess in Syria.

Wake up folks. You're getting all hung up on the details and missing what is really going on.

The criminals who call themselves the "leaders" of both the USA and Russia actually have the same global financial elite masters. The masters know the current financial system is about to implode spectacularly and they need a proportional distraction, like a world war. The "leaders" will probably make it so at precisely the moment of greatest need for the distraction. As a bonus, they will be able to eliminate a large majority of the people that, having been completely fleeced, will be only a problematic liability. The countries with the most government liabilities and the most problematic populations will lose the most people (sound familiar amerikans).

All of this is simply the foreplay as the monsters who call themselves central government all over the world, and their owners, prepare to exterminate people on a massive scale and divide up the spoils. They plan to collapse everything, including the current central governments which are nearing the recognition of their bankruptcies anyway, and rebuild a new world order according to their own desires.

Extensive top secret plans have been made for continuation of government by the criminals who would benefit most from it. First, they want to eliminate a large majority of the population which will have been milked for everything that can be stolen from them. Then to save themselves, they will try to ban cash (control and monitor all transactions), create a new currency (still counterfeit/fiat), default on the debt owed to the people (but not their owners), and then impose martial law to ram it down our throats (wiping out your cashless accounts if you misbehave). All the while, they will be claiming that all the pain is because of the loss of central government and that we need a stronger new one to do a better job (on us).

Indeed, the inevitable self-destruction of central governments will be extremely difficult, because of what central governments have done to destroy the intrinsic value of what people use as a medium of exchange, money. If commodity backed non-government money doesn't re-emerge quickly (very unlikely), economic exchanges will be severely hindered after the self-destruction by the initial return to barter for the most part. Supply chains will collapse, and then a large majority of the populations of people whose survival depend entirely on the supply chains will perish in a few months.

When, not if, the central governments self-destruct, we need as many people as possible to remember these few simple facts:

All of the societal pain will be because of what central governments did to consume the resources of society and destroy its money, while enslaving the majority to dependence upon it's stolen and counterfeit money. The pain will NOT be because of the absence of central governments. The return of the state will only assure that future generations will experience this pain again.

...Life, Liberty and the Persuit of Happiness. To secure "these rights", governments are instituted AMONG men, not over them. No form of "government" beyond, possibly, the most local level is needed to secure "these rights". Anything more, will only serve to violate "these rights". Central government is unnecessary and only serves to violate these most basic rights.

For those of us who survive the pending calamity, and all future generations, we must do everything in our power to prevent the return of central governments after they soon self-destruct. No other lesson for the future of mankind is more important.

while you are quite correct in the globalist plans, Russia today is what Germany was in the late 30's.  The UK/USA NWO supported Germany and Hilter's rise to power but then he went off script and took the NWO stealth eugenics program to the fast track.  WWII was a fight between the socialists and nationalist fascists.  the socialists won and have since slowly implemented their plans for a NWO.  now we see the socialist NWO (UK, USA) continuing their fight against nationalism in Russia as Putin is going off script.

In Russia's May Day parades, and recently in China's celebration, leaders talked about never having another large mechanized world war.  That they would do everything in their power to stop it.

Notice that BRICs money system is at the beginning of a debt cycle.  They DO NOT NEED western oligarchs to join in their new debt formations.  The new Silk Road and Eurasia formation will create plenty of new activity for both capital and labor. 

Russia kicked out most of their Jewish Oligarchs (who attempted to take over in Yeltsin years), and  great bulk of Jewry self deported after Communism fell.  Lack of Jewry is a proxy for lack of Western Illuminist Oligarchial Control.

So, this notion that the banker illuminist cabal is in control over former communist lands of China and Russia is false.  Actions on the ground do not support this narrative.

Leaders do get together and talk at Davos.  However, Nato moving East to Russia's border and West's attempt during Yeltsin years to convert Russia to extraction economy, and to then dismember her, has convinced Russia's leaders to separate.

BRICS system is thus a direct threat to Western Banker Oligarchs and is not their child.  It started out as a Western Child, but  was seized by China and Russia. Recent attempts by Russia to shore up resources in the Artic are futher attempts to consolidate Russian Borders.  Strategic moves in Crimea and Syria can only be seen as 'against' the desires of World Government Oligarchy emanating from  illuminist banking class of the West.

 Putin also is serious about re-capitulating Orthodox Church as a full member of russia's ruling class.  Early on in Syrian gambit, Putin sent the head of Orthodox Church to Syria, to then re-assure Syrian Christians that Russia would not stand for their displacement.  

So, this conflict is much more than just oil pipelines and money, it also is civilizational, and two conflicting civilizations now stand opposed to each other.  The former godless Russia, parasitized by Jewish Bolsheveism, is no more - and is now Slavic and Orthodox.   The West, formerly Catholic is now Godless and Parastized by Jewish Finance Capitalism.

Russia and Orthodox are in alignment: they do not go for homosexual marriage, they are for family formation, and are for borders, language, culture, and sovereignty.   The West is now against the traditional Christian view of civilization; the West is post Christian and largely Jewish and/or athiest in its views;  West is fully monetized and at the end of a debt cycle.  West is for open borders and mass migrations.

Game over, Russia and China have already won, especially if they continue to form Eurasia and avoid a hot war.  Civilizational Roles have reversed, and ideals/behaviours of former Christian West are now resident in Russia, and increasingly in China.
