In Major Escalation, Washington Demands Greece Blocks Its Airspace For Russian Flights To Syria
Last week, when reporting that at least according to the White House,Russian presence in Syria is no longer disputed, we said that regardless if Russian troops are indeed on the Syrian ground, this admission that the current Syrian state of play "effectively ends the second "foreplay" phase of the Syrian proxy war (the first one took place in the summer of 2013 when in a repeat situation, Russia was supporting Assad only the escalations took place in the naval theater with both Russian and US cruisers within kilometers of each other off the Syrian coast), which means the violent escalation phase is next. It also means that Assad was within days of losing control fighting a multi-front war with enemies supported by the US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and Putin had no choice but to intervene or else risk losing Gazprom's influence over Europe to the infamous Qatari gas pipeline which is what this whole 3 years war is all about."
Moments ago, following ever louder hints - if still unconfirmed by the Kremlin - that Russian forces are either en route to Syria or already there (Russian soldier's VK post stating troops are in Syria, intercepted communication from a Russian An-124 military cargo plane en route to Latakia, Russian Roll-on/roll-off ship allegedly carrying military equipment to Syria), the US made a dramatic diplomatic escalation ahead of what is now assured to be the second major showdown between the US and Russia in Syria, over a Qatari gas pipeline no less, when according to Reuters, it asked Greece to deny Russia the use of its airspace for supply flights to Syria, a Greek official said on Monday, after Washington told Moscow it was deeply concerned by reports of a Russian military build up in Syria.
Reuters also notes that the Greek foreign ministry said the request was being examined. "Russian newswire RIA Novosti earlier said Greece had refused the U.S. request, quoting a diplomatic source as saying that Russia was seeking permission to run the flights up to Sept. 24."
We very much doubt Athens will refuse to comply with western (either US or European) demands: now that Greece is officially a European debt colony with permanent capital controls, and deposits whose evaporation is merely a function of Brussels (and Frankfurt's) good will, what the "democratic powers" demand - if only from Greece - the "democratic powers" get, which is why we are confident that within 48 hours Greece will fully roll over and make it clear to Putin that all Russian military flights will have to be diverted going forward.
We have previously explained the state of play, which Reuters summarizes as follows:
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Saturday that if reports of the build-up were accurate, that could further escalate the war and risk confrontation with the U.S.-led alliance that is bombing Islamic State in Syria.
Lavrov told Kerry it was premature to talk about Russia's participation in military operations in Syria, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman told RIA Novosti on Monday.
Lavrov confirmed Russia had always provided supplies of military equipment to Syria, saying Moscow "has never concealed that it delivers military equipment to official Syrian authorities with the aim of combating terrorism".
Russia has been a vital ally of President Bashar al-Assad throughout the war that has fractured Syria into a patchwork of areas controlled by rival armed groups, including Islamic State, leaving the government in control of much of the west.
Foreign states are already deeply involved in the war that has killed a quarter of a million people. While Russia and Iran have backed Assad, rebel groups seeking to oust him have received support from governments including the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The Syrian army and allied militia have lost significant amounts of territory to insurgents this year. Assad said in July the Syrian army faced a manpower problem.
Still, the simplest confirmation and the proof that the Syrian intervention was never about ISIS (which from day one was a US creation designed to remove Assad from power), is that Russia has been trying to build a wide coalition including Damascus to fight Islamic State.
But the idea has been rejected by enemies including the United States and Saudi Arabia, who see Assad as part of the problem.
But wait a minute, the only reason Assad is on the verge of losing control is because of ISIS which earlier today was reported to have captured a key Syrian oil field near the city of Palmyra. It appears that only when it comes to affairs involving ISIS, the enemy of America's enemy is double its enemy.
Then again, once one realizes that ISIS was from day one nothing but window dressing for a mythical opponent created in Hollywood, and designed to spook the masses into providing the media cover for what is shaping as an inevitable western intervention in Syria, and that the real enemy was none other than the same Assad who in the summer of 2013 was shown on a fabricated YouTube clip to have gassed his population in another transparent attempt to rally the population around the offensive war flag, then all falls into place.
Meanwhile, what we first reported is quietly but rapidly taking place behind the scenes: Russia is preparing for what appears to be the latest inevitable proxy war: one which will pit Syria (with Russian support, on and off the ground) against ISIS, the "moderate Syrian rebels", and various Turkish forces (with US support, on and off the ground).
From Reuters:
A senior U.S. official told Reuters on Saturday that U.S. authorities have detected "worrisome preparatory steps," including transport of prefabricated housing units for hundreds of people to a Syrian airfield, that could signal that Russia is preparing to deploy heavy military assets there.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Moscow's exact intentions remained unclear but that Kerry called Lavrov to leave no doubt about the U.S. position.
A Syrian military official has said Syrian-Russian military relations have witnessed a "big shift" in recent weeks.
A Lebanese newspaper reported on Monday that Russian military experts who arrived in Syria weeks ago have been inspecting air bases and working to enlarge some runways, particularly in the north, though Moscow had yet to meet a Syrian request for attack helicopters.
As-Safir, citing a Syrian source, said there had been "no fundamental change" in Russian forces on the ground in Syria, saying they were "still operating in the framework of experts, advisers, and trainers".
Well would you look at that: the US is not the only country that can send military "instructors", "consultants" and "trainers" to a distant country to prepare the locals for war.
As-Safir said the Russians had "started moving toward a qualitative initiative in the armament relationship for the first time since the start of the war on Syria, with a team of Russian experts beginning to inspect Syrian military airports weeks ago, and they are working to expand some of their runways, particularly in the north of Syria."
The newspaper, which is well-connected in Damascus, said nothing had been decided about "the nature of the weapons that Damascus might receive, though the Syrians asked to be supplied with more than 20 Russian attack helicopters, of the Mi-28 type".
Bottom line: the battle lines are now fully drawn and the only question, just like in the case of the Greek near-default, is who gets the blame: if the western full court media press to represent Syria as colluding with Putin - when in reality Assad's forces were about collapse under relentless US pressure, which with the help of ISIS, meant from day one to remove the Syrian president from power and replace him with a pro-US puppet, one who would allow the passage of the Qatari gas pipeline - succeeds, then the media spin is already prepared. It will mean that the imminent invasion in Syria by US and European powers will be portrayed as another escalation involving Russia, just like in 2013 and 2014.
And yes, we said Europe because as France's president pivoted earlier today, Europe's refuge crisis is about to be portrayed as the responsibility of Assad (but apparently not of the Western powers whose intervention in Syria has led to the country being torn by a bloody civil war), and as a result France is now preparing to bomb Syria to retaliate for a tragic refugee crisis, that has been years in the making not without Washington's, or CIA's, blessing. In other words, just like the fabricated "chemical attack" youtube clips of 2013 were the media pretext to attack Syria, so Europe's great refugee crisis of 2015 will be the catalyst for the second attempt to remove Assad from pwoer.
On the other hand, Russia will deny any involvement in Syria, a la Crimea, even as its troops are positioned deep inside Syrian territory in preparation for what will soon be the latest mid-east proxy war.
None of the above, however, should not detract from the seriousness of the situation: suddenly Syria is months if not weeks or even days away from a repeat of the summer of 2013 which some may have forgotten, but on several occasions the US and Russia were this close from launching another world war.
Which is also why while we appreciate the impact of China's economic hard landing on the price of oil, should the upcoming conflict, which now seems inevitable, spark a metaphorical (or literal) fire in, say, Saudi's Ghawar oil fields - an outcome Putin would be delighted by - then oil may be poised for substantial upside from here.
This is what we said last week:
Finally, while we have no way of knowing how the upcoming armed conflict will progress, now may be a safe time to take profits on that oil short we recommended back in October, as the geopolitical chess game just shifted dramatically, and with most hedge funds aggressively short, any realization that the middle east is suddenly a far more violent powderkeg - one which may promptly include the Saudis in any confrontation - could result in an epic short squeeze.
With every day that we get closer to the all-out Syrian war, said squeeze becomes virtually assured.

usa mic generals are jizzin' all ova zee place bitchez!
The ones who get kick backs from the mic are. The ones who actually have to lead this thing are changing their drawers.
How do the West manage to spin that Putin fighting ISIS is a bad thing after all the propaganda saying we need to invade Syria becuase of ISIS. The sheep are far more likely to hate the browm muslims than the white Russians when Obama explains we need to kill the Russians so that we can kill ISIS instead of Russia killing them...
Putin played this like a boss.
And people wonder why I can't hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes without screaming how there is NO end to the bullshit. The machine is in overdrive, hyper-drive, and makes FTL look like a tortoise.
Anyone who voices their opinion is marginalized and cast of as a kook. If Martians were to suddenly descend from outer-space and declare the Russians intergalactic criminals....oh fuck-it, i give up.
he censorship appearing on UK based newspapers is astonishing. Any time I mention Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the US funding ISIS the comment gets removed.
UK = Orwellian police state. The money-powers ate them.
When in a complex struggle and you realize you're up against a drooling retard, sometimes best thing to do is break out lawn chairs and pop corn while watching said retard hang himself as he's humping a football...
Last week, when reporting that at least according to the White House . .
Now we know that they would never lie, particularly about anything to do with Russia, right??? Give me a break!!! This is the same group of clowns whose State Department spokesman recently had the audacity to stand up in front of reporters and say that the demonstrations at the Maidan in Ukraine in February of 2014 were "mostly peaceful" and then refused to respond to the reporter from RT when she was trying to ask "Did you see the videos of the "protesters" repeatedly throwing Molotov cocktails or attacking the police?".
Newsflash: After allowing financial criminals to rape Greece and get away with it, the D.C. Empire demands military compliance from Greece (and a reacharound).
Always the reacharound.
Everytime I try to pull out they pull me back in with the reacharound.
Obama 2012
"Say, uh, listen...we know we let Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street Warlocks and the Brussels Bandits bend you over with generational theft and loss of sovereignty along with a flood of Muslim illegal immigrants but won't you please forget that you fought the Nazi's alongside Russia and tell them they can't use your airspace to protect Christians in Syria?"
Greece has every reason to tell Uncle Sam to just, "Fuck Off!"
And I'll bet that 90% of Americans who even become aware of this request hope they do.
I;m seeing an unscheduled SCO meeting in the near future,
India,Pakistan and Iran will be elevated to full membersip at it, and overflight
access to Syria will be moot at that point.
Right after the clock runs out o Congress voting on the Iran deal.
Tick tock on any side deal selling oil for petrollars.
Mate in three moves.Watch out for flying pieces.
Russia has figured out why the US Military is so damn good: LFTE
"Live Fire Training Exercises"
in our protocols its called "war", "actual combat", "armed insurgency", "hostile engagement"
What every military worldwide craves like a drug or pussy, but the USA gets the most....
*stocking up on popcorn*
Muslims invading Europe. Many are battle hardened soldiers. Wolves among the European socialist sheep.
Russia moving thousands of troops into Syria.
This is gonna be good.
I did not junk you. But instead of popcorn, I'd strongly suggest stocking up on basic supplies instead. I'll let you decide what I mean by 'supplies.'
And, prepare a plan to deal with zonked out Zoloft adicts and other assorted brain dead consumerist folk in these United States who can't reason their way out of a paper bag.
What, you can't survive on popcorn? Well I'm fucked, I went all in.
This could be biblical.
Looking at everything that is going on at the moment in the world, calling the financial "markets" a house of cards is an insult. To every decent house of cards.
PS: Could everybody please stop waging wars for a moment? Don't we have enough other problems to be solved? Jeez....
But if we're talking about war we're not talking about the economy.
You think they aren't intertwined like a ghordian knot ?
Looks to me like they'd have to fly over Bulgaria or Turkey to even get to Greek airspace.
only a flight from Kaliningrad,Russia would need to go over Greek airspace
Russia must have ok relations with Bulgaria or it could never get out. Turkey is a NATO country so Russia flying over that is a definite no. Greece is merely a poor EU gateway for immigrants stomping on every olive tree as they make their way to Germany by foot in a mass exodus after getting to Athens from Lesbos ferries.
That might be the ticket: Sell air flight routes/rights over its country and then take the flip bid so the higher the bidder (to close those rights) for the duration of say 1 week or 1 month and pretty soon Greece might actually be able to get out from Merkel's skirt.
I'd find it tough to trust the Bulgarians after Southstream.
Or simply forget Greece and simply fly over Turkey. Now we know this won't happen so this mean Bulgaria allowed then to use its airspace.
I guess the Russian could also go over the Iranian airspace and then cross Iraq.
Over flying Iraq, with a layover (and tactical drop off) in Iran, would be game changer, particularly following an SCO enlargement.
They're obviously flying over Bulgaria-Greece.
Greek Elections on September 20. This could become a Greek Election issue I suppose, but I have no idea how it would play in Greece.
The alternative route is over Iran-Iraq into Syria (over the Shiite parts of Southern Iraq). I'm sure using this route though you'd have a few planes shot down in Southern Iraq by??? (US special ops probably, but blamed on local insurgents).
I would not at all rule out the possibility that Greece tells Obama to take a hike. Russian good will is rather vital to them at this point.
The Greeks are a disgrace to their ancestors. Fat hairy greasy faggots the lot of them. Hope the get occupied by Turkey and end in a multi-generational gulag.
My bet is is that is exactly what the US wants too.
Can't have an old fashioned war without all the chess pieces in place.
Could be the idiots in D.C. want to test out technologies between us and them to see who has the edge.
More to the point they want a war in Europe and this is the starting point.
Expect offensive moves by the Ukrainians in the coming months to test Russia's ability to fight a two theater war.
Of course it could backfire if the Chinese see this as an opportunity to invade Taiwan while using NK as a distraction.
If its a world war the neocons want they may just get more than they can handle.
My bet is that it happens in about a week, when Vlad's at the UN for his speech. The Ukrainians don't have much more time before the weather turns muddy.
In any major power conflcit the Koreas blows up immediately, so does Taiwan, and then you can pull in all the US allies in Asia at the same time.
It ain't long before the nukes are flying - likely a matter of weeks.
News Flash - The Koreas are getting along. Everyone's appologizing. Maybe they saw where this is going?
Bullying. thats all the USA knows how to do.
But bullies ALWAYS get their comeuppance. Thats an ABSOLUTE
what about watching tv, shopping and posting garbage on the net?
I should say USA govt.
One bully disagrees.
USA is getting nervous that their ISIS troops in Syria might be defeated by Russia.
What makes this different from Afghanistan 79'?
It's Russian troops vs. USA supported desert rats once again.
Not trolling....what's different this time?
this time Russia defending a base and not invading a huge mountainous region.
Syrians are not Afghani's for one and the terrain is much better suited for the Russian
tactics of mass and destroy.Was never going to work in the Kush.The Soviets were goaded
into that misadventure.I don't think Putin can be judging by Ukraine.Which makes me
wonder why he's getting involved in Syria now, Its a delaying stategy, or he has something
much bigger up his sleeve.The bottom line is Assad is disposable if required, so why the change of
heart ?
Wrong Winny. Assad is not desposable. He's the glue that keeps it all together. Without Assad, if the choice is to be ruled by the wingnut jihadis or leave, millions will leave.
That was Soviet Russia in the waning days of its pathology. Putin's Russia is nationalist and realist, having thrown off the pathology.
Communism was to Russia as the banksters are to the United States. I suspect that Russia is as better able to take care of business now as America would be if we could shed our own cultural perversities.
"Communism was to Russia as the banksters are to the United States". Precisely. The same zio overlords.
I work for a U.S. Company and for the most part the yanks are pretty harmless although a bit behind the door but I'd love to see the U.S. Military get an absolute kicking, it's well overdue.
So much today is nothing moar than a CONfidence game for example reserve currency, petro-dollar. The MIC suffering a defeat would be a huge blow so expect the craziest most dangerous acts to prevent that. MSM would cover that shit up for sure like claim that US jets have completed succesful missions knocking out S-300 missiles by crashing into them.
Still smarting over losing both WWI and WWII I see.
Thanks to Russia or you might be speaking German
I am speaking a form of German.
AngloSaxon aint called that way cause all dem volk be Welsh.
Where did the Saxon part come from?
Learn some history. The brits were subjected first by the Romans, then the Saxons, then the Normans, then the Vikings, and then, well, almost the Germans again.
Well anyway, English has a lot of its roots in German, whada ya know, ja learned someding today, ja?
And, unbeknownst to you a large majority of the population in the US is of German ancestry.
- Learn some history. The brits were subjected first by the Romans, ...
Where do the conqueroring Rothchild Zionists appear in your story? Why leave them out, PureEvil? You're not a Zino-ideologue are you, PureEvil? They do own the place now and have for centuries. What an appropriate handle you have chosen for yourself. Congrats.
And fwiw, the Vikings showed up long before the Normans aka Latanized Vikings
Baloney -Russia under Stalin is 100% opposite of Russia under Putin. We were flat wrong to ally with the evil Stalin and Bolsheviks against germany. The caricature of Hitler and the Nazis that everybody spouts is complete bullshit. Stalin , Churchill and Roosevelt (and Truman) killed far more inncents than Hitler did -even if you believe the holohoax and the fraudulent numbers of dead -pure, unadulterated lies. Amazing how so many have been conned for so long. We are now lead by the true "nazis" -actually we need a better word for this slur, as the germans in WW2 were far more honorable than the Zio-dominated Western powers.
Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union not Russia, and he was not Russian.
Germans were evil as hell so don't try to rewrite history. Just because one the Soviet Union was equally evil does not make Germany saints.
As far as Allies bombing German cities and killing civilians- it is called a fucking war. That is what was is and not this sanitised crap that you have been fed by modern press.
Go ahead France. Go ahead and bomb Assad now! You'll see the full wrath of of Russian fighters waiting for you. Hollande is a little French sissy boy.
The US government has asked my country to supply planes to bomb 'isis' in Syria,Syria has not invited us there,nor is there any UN chater to be there,my country is about to become a war criminal and one that could have a confrontation with Russia.Yes the USA saved us in WW2 but do you remain indebted to something that has obviously gone insane.
Either do as you're told or we'll export our degenerate culture to your country.
How would you like nonstop 24 hours of the "Transgender Hour of Power Show: The Caitlyn Story" on all your TV channels.
we get Jerry Springer and Celebrity rehab thats enough thankyou
Vwe know vwhat's goovd for you.
More chimp outs, more LBGT agenda, more wealth destruction.
Youv will take it and youv will like it.
I don't know , the so called ''muslim'' refugees we took in from Syria and Eritrea are all wearing modern clothes. The girls are wearing makeup and skirts and dancing in the discos. They love it here.
Probably because their Muslim parents are DEAD.
Evening Al, have you poisoned any yids today?
Working on it , Sherman
Figures you'd do it that way instead of mano a mano, turgid little snake.
Why get hands dirty? and a quick death via cyanide is better than long slow fighting.
I have an aversion to PIG SHIT so won't touch a Yid. Just a nice pastramo sandwich infused with cyanide and watch the fun
An old compatriot of mine, Dr. Dan Fine died last month at age 91. He was a founding member of the local Citizens for Peace group which I joined as a junior member in 1970 at age 6. Last time I saw him was at a performance of My Name is Rachel Corrie. He was one of the most active pro-Palestinian people I've ever known.
Putin is a little behind the eight ball on this one. I wish he would have done this a year ago. Now Syria needs to regain back all of their lost territory.
Well, that seems to be common Russian tactic. Let your enemy roll up to the front door, then viciously beat them back where they came from.
Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes. thats Russias motto.
Wait till their supply lines are stretched to breaking point.
War is about logistics.
Kinda had a breakdown there. That was suppose to be included in my comment.
They did it with France, and Germany.
He knows exactly when to make his moves.
The Iran sanctions had to be lifted, he wasn't going to leave any Russian force
at the mercy of supply line cuts just as the US is trying now.
That horse has bolted.Almost like Obozo was on the Russian payroll.
He needed them to have lost territory to have the cover to move in. He also needed the US to move in first -with their bogus airstrikes against ISIS. Now he moves in and can take the moral high ground -as the only country that will actually be fighting ISIS, as compared to trying to hasten the defeat of Assad.
That's absolute bullshit. He could have moved in long time ago as Syria is an allied country. All that had to happen is for Syria to ask for assistance. Putin could have sent in the air force and let the Syrian army take care of the ground work.
Don't forget that Israel has attacked Syria multiple times during this conflict...and did considerable damage.
Presence of the Russian air force would have ensured that no other nation stuck their nose into the conflict and ISIS would have been toast a long time ago.
Of course the Russian air force might be very vulnerable and they certainly would not want that showcased. It is much better to have your enemy wonder.
You can bet your ass that if it is shown that Russian planes are easy targets the entire balance of power will shift and the US will find a pretence to invade Russia.
The Greeks have voted capons as their elected representatives, so likely Greece will close its airspace.
Why this may be more Washington/Tel Aviv BS
I'm with the Saker this is "Russia's mission statement" and as tragic as this for Syria and Syrians the smart move for Russia is to let Hezbollah manage what they already know how to manage better and let Washington/London and Tel Aviv continue to strangle themselves with more rope!
Continue dropping truckloads of $50 -$100 billion a week UST and let the flies do the rest!!!
More proof.
While the msm is finally giving it more time and attention and while the numbers naturally are far greater given the destruction of Libya, Yemen, now Syria on top of the relentless blood letting of Iraq which has been ongoing for twice as long...
The EUs version of "Jade Helm" is bringing lots and lots of undesirable mercs in to the mix with that new slave labor that is going to be the excuse for Washington and it's ass puppet NATO to rebuild the recruiting effort just like that ultimate "tool" we will be celebrating next Friday going on it's 14 Anniversary in Manhattan and Washington.
Make no mistake. All "the finest people" will be showing up to pay there respects in order to perpetuate that biggest of lies, PRing the hell out of it to tell Americans and Western Europeans they must never forget!
And we certainly won't disappoint!!!
The Criminal Fraud UNITED STATES, CORP. INC. and it's Zionist's owners are the sorriest, most degenerate Scum Fucks on the face of the earth.
Understatement
yep, just the latest in a long chain of global empires of tyranny. who is next? with nuclear weapons, possibly no one. humanity as a whole has repeatedly shown that it does not deserve stewardship of this planet.
Religious Nazis
Germany:
Thus speaketh Christ our Lord to us, “You call me Master and obey me not; You call me light and see me not; You call me the Way and walk me not; You call me life and live me not; You call me wise and follow me not; You call me fair and love me not; You call me rich and ask me not; You call me eternal and seek me not; If I condemn you, blame me not.”
How is America any better?
Herein lies the crux of the problemsolution, for the drive-by Christians:
“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than people…For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her…As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything…And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ…Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split what God has joined together.”
For State to divide and conquer anything, it must first divide and conquer marriage. They don’t call it the King James Version by accident, disordered of, by and for religious Nazis. The King needed war to save his position, and the cardinals saw an opportunity to control an empire, by transferring wealth from marriage to State, with Church as conduit.
Of course Church perverts little children. Hitler was just a stooge hired to program the last demographic phase in the cycle, when finance imploded, as it always does. War is the only possible outcome for stupid. The politicians don’t get deferments by accident, and Trump didn’t pick on McCain by accident. Don’t waste your time on derivatives.
Church and State made a spectacle of Jesus because he was holding up the sh-show, cutting out all the middlemen. Separation of power, the nation/state, is a myth imposed upon perverted children, sentenced to poverty for the purpose. When you get married and have children, the Hells Angels collecting real estate will be the least of your concerns.
If a majority is responsible, none are responsible, and any one in the minority will serve as a scapegoat, for institutionalized autistics rearing institutionalized autistics. Family Law doesn’t swap out due process and swap in feudal common law by accident. The rest is misdirection, encouraging you to spend all your time fighting stupid with stupid, gravity from and to the DNA churn pool.
It’s always a religious war, with the Nazis. Radical Islam, don’t make me laugh. If you want to print your own money, go to Afghanistan. The morons don’t need your help killing each other over a piece of desert, sitting on oil, which you don’t need, and the reserve currency of a digital ‘new world order’ is merely propping up a government army, standing in your way, any way it can.
Keep lowering the standard and drag everyone to it in the name of equality and affirmative action; that’s public education. The empire is a passive-aggressive machine designed to wear you down until you join. Take it seriously at your own cost. Taking a time-out from the empire sh-show, and going back to work, is a much better course of action.
They can fly directly over Iraq, most of it is controlled by ISIS.
Russia has satellites also. All they need to do is pinpoint where ISIS is and send a few cruise missile on them. USA/Israel will be angry for killing their ISIS troops/
The US has become NAZI Germany; once again Russia will have to kick NAZI ass. Go long fallout shelters unless you are in the South Pacific smoking French cigs witth me.
unless you are in the South Pacific
Do I have to orchestrate a full revival or will simply humming a few show tunes give me enough cover?
There is nothin' you can name
That is anything like a dame!
re Washington Demands Greece...
Uugh? Since when exactly has Greece been a constituent Soviet State of the USSA?
Um. Since 1993... Have you not been paying attention?
Germany rules Europe, and Germany is an occupied country. See all those American military bases in Germany?
Since it became a member of the EUSSR.
I would love Putin to sort out ISIS but this smells of Debka/world net daily/sorcha faal disinfo,no doubt there are advisors there but I doubt theres any great military presence if there were the Pentagon shills would be on all networks 24/7
Russia should just fly thru Greece airspace . USA doesn't ask permission so why should they?
Porque de los norteamericanos tiene uno problema con el mundo?
Paz el el nomme de la Juega.
NO se, Jose
Americanos tienes mala leche
Zion is angry. And when Zion gets angry, ZATO gets upset. And when ZATO gets upset, people die.
Zion is a scheme, not and ethnicity..
I was watching a commentator last night who stated that mankind had done some great things in diminishing government and tyranny since the Age of Enlightenment. He further stated that he could not understand what has happened since (the end of the 19th. Century). That he could not understand the backward slide of mankind and people in reembracing government and tyranny as solutions to problems.
To which I would state: Zion is what happened. A terrible yeast pf psychopaths mixed up in, and misleading and destroying our societies from within for their own personal gain--the hidden Pied Pipers marching us to penury, destruction , and death.
And for those that can't, or won't, see Zion, study the situation in the Ukraine since early 2014. It is like a Petri dish of Zion, growing the typical Zion slime: war, plunder, intrigue, poverty, misery, death, and lies.
Zion had to move quickly in the Ukraine to undermine Russia in their quest for Greater Israel and pipeline routes in Syria, so Zion's behaviors are much more out in the open there than is typical.
Yes but they would tell you they invented everything. and huge strides in medicine. (actually more ways to fleece lots of people).
Goldman Sachs has taken Zeus hostage. Free Zues arrest Lloyd Blankfein.

US GOV SUCKS FECES
Wrong!! they gobble it.
Here to ruin another thread I see.....
No. You are. What's your point?
Wrong, the feed it to the general public and they gobble it.
Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes. thats Russias motto.
Why doesn't that government in Washington D.C. move to Somalia or find some other place to operate out of where they are liked.
will vlad let the faggot jungle bunny get the best of him? don't think so.
Spear chucker. get it right
oops!
Who exactly wrote this article, and what were they thinking?
It was not "a mythical opponent created in Hollywood" that captured the oil field in Palmyra, along with half of Iraq. It is not a mythical opponent that Syrian, Iranian, Iraqi, Kurdish, US, and now Russian forces are fighting every day.
And as far as the Qatari pipeline goes, building a pipeline is not just something you do overnight. When you consider the time it takes to negotiate the purchasing contracts, survey the route, secure the necessary rights-of-way from all the national, provincial, and local governments involved (who all will want a share of the proceeds, by the way), and then to actually develop the gas fields, construct the pipeline and its associated infrastructure, along with the storage terminals and pressurization facilities--it takes decades to get these projects completed. Even if the Qatari pipeline was not insanely slated to run through thousands of miles of active war zone filled with innumerable terrorist goombas who would love to blow it up, it still would not result in Russia losing its European markets any time soon. I doubt that Russia views this situation as being primarily about a pipeline (which they could, in any case, obliterate at any time should it prove to be problematic). This is about old-fashioned national security. If Syria falls to ISIS than the Islamic State will get its hands on some pretty sophisticated Russian miliary equipment, including a first-rate air defense network and SAM batteries. The knock-on geopolitical effects would be, as you can well imagine, immensley destabilizing for all the Middle East, and that benefits nobody.
I would not predict any sort of "escalation" over Syria as a result of Russia's presence. Quite the opposite, in fact. Washington will find it all too convenient to simply ignore Syria from now on, just as they have come to ignore Ukraine. France is engaged in a desperate bid to remain relevant; and Germany, after having already communicated its willingness to take in hordes of refugees, can easily bow out under the pretense that it has already done its part.
Greek airspace, curiously enough, isn't even en route from Russia to Syria, causing me to think that this announcement was a leaked piece of routine diplomatic posturing rather than an actual geopolitical maneuver.
ISIS is a myth.
ISIS is Kaiser Sose
That's a good post, Goose...., thanks
Great post.
I think this is a step to put and end to ISIS and move on to the next phase: stabilizing Syria.
I tried to find the commuter route from Moscow to Damascus, and I was told this.
We're sorry, we cannot complete your request.

At 40 bucks bbl, who are the geniuses who think that sand nigger oil can compete with that of the Ruskies, who already have delivery infrastructure in place and paid for.
greece should grease russia's skids and make it as easy as possible to slide in anywhere they want to maintain the "balance of terror" (nods to star trek)
The USA army has tried and failed to defeat ISIS.
The Russian army will defeat ISIS and show the Americans how it is done.
USA is ISIS. Think about it. USA took down a handful of rebels in Libya with 200 cruise missiles. USA has satelltes that can pin point ISIS. (look for white shoes and Toyotas) but for some reason the USA does NOT attack ISIS. Figure it out for yourself.
Can't wait to see the faces of those ISIS goons. I bet few of them are Arabs. More like Blackwater/XE
Very likely, or they already got out.
I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but ALARM! ALARM!
This is going to be an interesting Fall. Super fun to watch the pieces moving around, from the safety of the Great Northwest. Have fun defending the castles from the hordes, Europe.
The worst that our migrant 'crisis' will bring is great drugs, ass, food, labor, Catholic family values, and hot music. And some folks to keep our prisons well oiled. I'll be having chorizo nachos and a Tecate when Europe falls, bulking up for the Holy War. USA!USA!
Just what the fuck are Catholic values? Having so many children that you can't afford to raise them? The Catholic church recently said that the US constitution is irrelevant. Here's a pro-tip for the Catholic Church, stay the fuck out of US politics with your socialist ethos. And for the socialist pope, go eat a bag of dicks. I know, probably just empowering a reformed pedophile with that statement, but it had to be said.
I like north Mexican food ( I just ate at a taqueria), but the illegal Mexicans have to leave.
Pope wants to know where he can get a bag of dicks
Vatican boys choir
True Catholics are Sedevacantists these days. Nobody at all familiar with the Catholic religion could say that Pope St. Pius X and Francis actually practice the same religion. The Catholic Church pre- and post-Vatican Council II are not the same entity. We have not had a legitimate pope since the death of Pius XII.

I wouldn't touch Mexican food until Mexicans discover bathing
When the tipping point is reached there will be a whole lot of dead people in Europe and the EU will be nothing but a distant memory.
It has happened before and will again. Europeans are highly intelligent savages with a veneer of civility on top.
The current situation is stripping that vaneer.
In a few years the last thing anyone who is not Caucasian will want to do is be in Europe.
Dear Washington, District of Criminals.
How about following the advice of our founding fathers and staying the fuck out of foreign entanglements? Why no try that for the next 40-50 years. Stop wasting our blood and treasure.
-Everyone else in the USA, and 95% of the rest of the world.
I guess the end of US-Zionist criminals is near.
Russian submarine with 20 ICBMs and 200 nuclear warheads is sailing to Syria
Israelis sub with 50 ICBMS and 500 nuke lurking nearby.
Russians fire first mssing and hitting Tel Aviv.
Israel subs respond and hit Moscow.
Land based Russian ICBM's fired at NYC and and Omaha,
Israel got not chance at all against Russia...unless they are suicidal-maniacs.
Well they think they are ''gods chosen'' so probably believe they are invincible
They will be in shocked when they reach heaven and God send them straight to hell.
Well they are god's chosen -chosen by their god-Lucifer -and Baal. And they have their little devil serpent gremlins -like Lloyd Blankfein -all over -going their gods' work.
Russia does not need Greek airspace to fly to Syria.
Correct. They can fly other routes, and Greece
isn't even that direct. Turkey is, but it is unlikely that Turkey would allow it as they are helping ISIS.
Iran and then North Iraq is the best option. North Iraq is Kurds and they are already fighting ISIS. Iran's as well.
Oh yes, use that last straw of influence you still may have left dear US, because it wont last much longer.
Greece might roll over, might not. This is a military/deep state matter and if the Greek military aren't hopping mad by now they ought to be.
Russia can divert and overfly somewhere else, like Turkey. Syria is becoming a bit crowded, especially now Russia has first boots on the ground. Looks like a parachute drop for US boots.
The Greeks fucked themselves as they are taking it up the tailpipe by the Germans and blowing the unelected ECB Troika mafia... now they will fuck Russia which I posted long time ago in ZH comments section.. Dump the EU print your own money= Drachmas and align yourself with Russia and China.. Golden Dawn is your only political party that has these views.. Now the Elite OWN GREECE and do as your masters say= ZIONIST Mafia.. it's the beginning of the end, Syria is important because of obvious reason ( NG/OIL) and to establish a Rothschild BANK.. Next is IRAN then ( NO ROTHCHILD BANKS) North Korea and then NWO is completed. VLADIMIR Putin as a Greek american you have my support at least you have BALLS to stand up to these Blood sucking Scumbags!!!
Greece told USA they wil ban Russian flights for 500 BILLION in CASH EUROS
Dude, I'm getting pretty tired of president stompy feet's shrill demands for everybody else to play by his peace prize rules. He caused this mess in the first place. If he wants war so badly, he should send his daughters to go fight.
I am sure ISIS would welcome a couple of more ''hoes''.
Actually it's just a ploy to provoke closure of Russian air space for EU, which is the real target of US....
NO problem. Russia turns the valve off and kicks out all 6000 German companies.
IN addition, Russia retrieves astronauts on ISS and tells USA to next time call Uber.
I think that closure of Russia's air space alone would make EU think twice, but it is clear by now that all the thinking for EU is done in US...
"IN addition, Russia retrieves astronauts on ISS and tells USA to next time call Uber"
That is the funniest comment of the week.????
Of course the irony is that Russians actually live up to their contractual obligations.
It would however be interesting to see the reaction to Russia go isolationist towards the EU and US.
Stop the flights and stop all imports and exports as well as throw out all their businesses.
Stopping exports also means natural gas.
It is not going to happen but it would be interesting to watch the reaction.
proxy war whats that?
It's like a proxy server.
The fabled Qatari pipeline
The Helen of our current Trojan War.
The Mystical Firebird to unseat evil Assad and beggar Russia.
i'd love to get my hands around the writer's neck and shake his head till the Qatari pipeline flies out of his mouth like split pea soup in "The Exorcist"
The Qatari pipeline is so yesteryear, I can't look at articles about it without blushing in embarrassment.
Really. The Edsel of pipelines.
It's not twice as long as the Turkish Stream it is three or four times as long. And contrary to Wall Street beliefs, there is no Pipeline Fairy who puts free pipes under the Royal Pillows of the Gulf State rulers.
The Pipeline Fairy demands that the cost of building a pipeline be reflected in the price of the valuable flatulence flowing out of the business end of the pipe.
Aside from that, I agree. Putin, Russia good. Obama, US bad.
A Neocon can't put a price on shutting out Russia from Europe's gas market.
Lets say that Russian gas can be shut out to European consumption (and I certainly don't think it can, but let's say so.) Why not run a pipe from Israel's Leviathan gas field up to Greece or Croatia? Same for the new Egyptian strike?
Does Qatari gas burn hotter or longer?
In WWII targets were bridges and rail road tracks. In The Little War Around The Corner it will be pipelines and refineries and bridges.
Mind you, I'm not saying that America won't bomb Russia's pipeline to Europe on a fridgid day in January. But it'll make them very sad to have to do so.
*********************************************
The Qatari pipeline is not the reason the US is trying to oust Assad.
Megalomania is.
Way back when, before the US got good at regime change, before Baby Bush and the Negro, and before oil drillers started hitting natural gas every time they went into a Porto-Potty, a Qatari pipeline was just pie in the sky prevented by the Assads.
If Assad falls, you will never hear about a Qatari pipeline again, unless it carries energy to Pakistan and India, who will probably have their own major wells by then.
What a friend they have in the Negro.
You raise some good points. Any thoughts on why Uncle Sam appears to be doubling down on Syria?
