In Major Humiliation For Obama, Iran Sends Soldiers To Support Russian Troops In Syria
When Zero Hedge first reported ten days ago that Russian troops, in their bid to support the Assad regime in its ongoing confrontation with various ISIS, Al Nusra, and other US-supported groups in what has become the proxy war of 2015 (one which even comes with thousands of refugees for dramatic media impact) had been quietly massing in Syria and have set up a forward operating base near Damascus, there were those who were openly skeptical.
Then, just a few hours ago, Bloomberg finally confirmed that "top officials were scheduled to meet at the National Security Council Deputies Committee level to discuss how to respond to the growing buildup of Russian military equipment and personnel in Latakia" and that Russia is "set to start flying combat missions from a new air base inside Syria."
So yes, for whatever reason (and the reason as we explained is clear: natural gas pipelines) Russia is making not only its increasing support for Assad known, but also that it is in Syria and that any further US-funded and supported incursions by ISIS or whatever is the media scapegoat terrorist organization du jour, will not be tolerated.
To be sure, none of this is in any way a surprise to the US - just as the US is using ISIS as a pretext to invade or pressure any mid-east nation it desires "in order to hold the jihadist terrorist scourge", so Russia is now using ISIS as a comparable excuse to intervene. After all, if ISIS is the friend of humanity, then surely Russian aid will be welcome. That it is not, had made it abundantly clear that not only is ISIS just a convenient diversion, but the reasons for a Syrian invasion and deposition of Assad, are purely political and entirely in the realm of real-politik. Also, Russia's return to Syria in greater numbers is no surprise to anyone in the Pentagon - this was merely the long-awaited escalation of the foreplay that started when ISIS mysteriously emerged on the scene just over a year ago.
But in the latest twist in what we have been warning for months has the makings of the biggest proxy shooting war in years, one that will come as a major humiliation to the Obama administration, today we find out that none other than America's most recent diplomatic sweetheart in the Gulf region, Iran, has deployed ground soldiers into Syria in the past few days in cooperation with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
This answers our question from earlier this week:
So as the coalition drives towards Sana'a - which the Saudi-owned al-Hayat newspaper says will be "liberated" after a "decisive battle" in Marib - and as Turkey, the US, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar mull options for the final push to oust Assad in Syria, the only remaining question is whether Iran will remain on the sidelines and allow the Houthis to be routed and Assad deposed, or whether, like Moscow, Tehran finally decides that the time for rheotric has come to an end.
And on that note, we'll close with the following from AP: "Iran's foreign minister on Monday criticized demands for the resignation of Syrian President Bashar Assad, saying such calls have prolonged the Arab country's civil war. Mohammad Javad Zarif went so far as to say that those who have in the past years demanded Assad's ouster "are responsible for the bloodshed in Syria."
And so, Iran appears to have picked its side, and knowing that it has Obama wrapped around its finger as part of Obama's huge "diplomatic coup" of restoring relations with Iran as part of the Nuclear Deal (since any backtracking would further embarrass the US president) and can pivot in any direction in the Syrian conflict, it has decided to side with Russia and Syria.
According to Ynet, a further said that the increased military involvement in Syria was "due to Assad's crisis and under Russian-Iranian cooperation as a result of a meeting between Soleimani with Russian President Vladimir Putin."
Where things get even more complicated, is that while Israel would do everything it can to turn public opinion against Iran, especially if it is now involved in the Syrian debacle, Israel still has cordial relations with Russia: "We have dialogue with Russia and we aren't in the middle of the Cold War," said the source. "We have open channels with the Russians."
So what does Iran joining the conflict really mean? "It's hard to forecast whether Russia's presence will decide the fate of Syria, but it will lengthen the fighting and bloodletting for at least another year because ISIS won't give up," said the source.
In other words, unless even more foreign powers intervene, you know "to stop ISIS" by focusing all their firepower on attacking or defending Assad, the Syria conflict will drag on indefinitely with an unknown outcome. Which in turn begs the question: how long will Israel keep out of the war, and if it decides to join whether it be using one of the more traditional, false flag methods to enflame public opinion against Iran. Who will be collateral damage then.
One thing is certain: with the GOP unable to block the Iran nuclear deal in the Senate, should it emerge and be confirmed, that Iran is indeed present, then Obama will be faced with the biggest diplomatic headache in his administration's history, namely the explanation of why he is scrambling to restore diplomatic connections with a regime that couldn't even wait for the Iran deal to be formally passed before it turned its back on its newest "best friend" in the Oval Cabinet, and promptly side with the KGB agent who over the past two years has emerged as the biggest US enemy in three decades.
Furthermore, it also means that now Russia suddenly has the media leverage in its hands: a few "leaked" photos of Iran troops to the press and the phones in the US Department of State will explode.
But the most important news is that, as we warned previously, with every incremental party entering the Syria conflict, the probability of a non-violent outcome becomes increasingly negligible. And now that Iran is involved, it means that both Israel and Saudi Arabia will be dragged in, whether they like it or not.

My God but this is getting enjoyable to watch!...
U.S. Foreign policy "on the rocks with a twist" both shaken and stirred!!!
Heck, I'm ok with them cleaning up the mess.
I just hope we keep the ships and men here at home.
It's expensive to project power in wasteful ways.
Heck, I'm ok with them cleaning up the mess.
Not sure what you meant by "cleaning up the mess"?...
If you meant the U.S. military is the mess that Russia will clean house on that fucked it all to hell to begin with starting with Iraq and ending with Syria -then we're in sync!!!
Remember the Anniversary tomorrow BC going on 14 years now... The lie that got it all started that the majority in the U.S. miltary knows is a lie and chooses to perpetuate it cause hell it's a paycheck... even if means WWIII?!!!...
Now that's the definition of a "mess" that deserves the ass kicking of a lifetime and has it's karma comin to it very soon!!!
There are graveyards full of French and British soliders who were killed fixing / creating this mess decades before George W was even born.
W should have stayed out of it, but the mess was there long before him.
PS -- read up on Winston Churchill's fubar in WW1 before you rant more western media bullshit
That's where I've been all along.
I've been having a good time at work with it:
"Hey!_____ did you see where Putin is sending in Russian troops to help Assad?"
Yeah I did, to kill those fucking monsters called ISIS.
The looks I get are simply priceless...first, they give you the "you unpatriotic bastard!" look...then it sinks into the "just damn, I didn't think about that" look...lol.
Hezbullah and Iranian led militias in Iraq have been very effective against ISIS Putin would be happy to have them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdZgkGI5h0A
Christian Singer Honors Hezbollah in 2013This woman is in Lebanon.
Hezbollah has been fighting to protect and defend innocent Syrian people including Syrian Christians from ISIS, ISIL and NUSRA. They have been working closely with the Syrian Army.
The Osama slayer is humiliation personified on the golf course.
Reggie says he's good with the ball washer though
and likes to putt from the rough.
Poor Barry.
The hits just keeping coming......
Russia and Iran team up in Syria to fight US trained CIA assets... no one saw this coming.
It's priceless how big of a domestic propaganda mess the Russians have now created in the west. The Russians are now seen as fighting CIA asset "ISIS", so people are cheering them on that would otherwise hate the Russians.
Obama created his own mess. Putin merely exploited Obama's mistakes.
" Putin merely exploited Obama's mistakes."
Need we say superior intellect ? Perhaps ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra etc etc etc need a real smart thinking Community Organizer so they can get their act together.
Hezbollah has been helping and fighting alongside the Syrian Army against ISIS, ISIL, NUSRA et al. .
Both of them have been protecting all Syrian people including Syrian Christians from the ISIS, ISIL, NUSRA and other phony scum backed by the USSA, UK, EU, Qatar< Saudis, Turkey, Israel and the American NeoLib and NeoCon scum.
ISIS are McCain's boys. John McCain and his family - Selling out American navy sailors and other Americans since the USS Liberty and USS Forrestal. Oddly, Secretary Forrestal was murdered by the NWO/ZWO gang.
Syria. Another case where America is killing Christians in the Middle East along with other innocent people.
The resident Langley Virginia guy downvotes me a bit too
How about "them" f**king retards from Foggy Bottom (aka The criminal State Department)?
State and See Eye Aye are essentially the same people anyway.
And me. I have my own personal Langley patriot, paid by taxpayers to down vote the truth on ZH.
That's me, Jack. I downvote all your posts ever since you changed your icon from Major General Poklonskaya's picture.
I can't identify your new one - who is it?
.
So Assad, the Iranians and the Ruskies are jointly fighting the head choppin ISIS/ISIL scum terrorrists I can't help but do a thumbs up!
That queer dindus fucker , I piss on all that voted for him.
That's one hell of a bladder there mister!
Meh. They can use the bath....
I you don't have character, how can you be humiliated?
I think he gives a shit as long as he can squeeze us for a few more vacations and rounds of golf, he's good with whatever.
He has ego.
Next Up.....Israel launches full strikes...and "accidentaly" kills a shitton of Russians and Iranians....
It's not truly fucked up till we have Israel on board.....
Russia will not respond like Admiral McCain or LBJ did when they sold out the USS Liberty. the McCains - like father like son and like fat daughter with shit for brains.
Ain't gonna happen that way Bud. Israel is quietly trying to slip out of the cross-hairs and survive the transition. If they're feeling frisky, a more likely scenario is they'll get Zato to "accidently" do it. Then again, the Russians say they can put up a ferocious air defence.
I wonder how Turkey will come out of this. Basicly, they've commited numerous acts of war against their southern neighbor Syria. They have antagonized Russia to the North Probably supported the Caucaus violence. Iran to the East. Greece in the West has big animosity, going way back. Edrogan just started an internal war with the Kurds. They're probably involved with the Wigurs, giving them a black eye with China.
I keep thinking Assad should cut the Kurd a deal by offering them a slice of terrories inbetween Syria and Turkey to establish a Kurdish country. Kurd can then seize more land from Turkey. That would keep the Turks busy. In exchange, Kurd can clean up the ISIS and assorted Jihadists around that region.
Fwiw, in the present climate, it is valuable to the holders, that the borders of Syria and Iraq join to cap off any transit north out of the Arabian Peninsula. But in a future world with less aggression, a way can be found to accomidate the Kurds.
"It's not truly fucked up till we have Israel on board....."
I don't believe the Israelis are suicidal.
Never gonna get that pipeline thru Syria w/o a nuclear showdown.
And then will it really matter?
Do the terrorists in DC have it in them to give up on their futile failed plans tho?
they are in desparate need of a distraction, such as another "mass shooting". suppossedly the FBI stopped a potential cookware bomber in KC today.
Did the FBI screw up and one of their pet projects ran into over zealous local law enforcement, or was it just another case of the FBI giving stupid people just enough rope (i.e. bomb making instructions) to hang themselves as a way of justifying the current budget?
The Persian / Arab conflict... now rebranded the Shia / Sunni conflict, is not about pipelines. That is just a load of crap the western media made up.
Putin might care about a pipeline (so he can keep screwing the left-wingers in the EU), but factions in the middle east were fighting each other for centuries before oil or natural gas was found.
But keep parroting western media crap. Add something about the Kardashians for good measure.
Under Saddam, there was nothing like the communal violence that took off in Iraq once US took over. Nothing comparable and I defy you to say otherwise.
Everyone who disagreed with Saddam was summarily executed. That isn't peace, that is repression.
Just because you hate W Bush doesn't mean the problems weren't there decades before he was born.
The Ottoman empire collapsed / was defeated / whatever PR spin you want to use ... at the end of WW1. Doubya was born July 6, 1946 ... almost 30 years later.
No matter how many lies you try to spin, the issues underlying Syria / Kurds and Sunni / Shia existed long before Dan Rather fucked up CBS "news"
I'm sure O'Bama will do something stupid; I'm just not sure exactly what it will be.
I am certain that more Americans will die in the Mid East for no fucking good reason.
"I am certain that more Americans will die in the Mid East for no fucking good reason."
It will be for all the wrong reasons. Seems like all the Ivy League products in the Administration have less brain power than a dead skunk. Out-thought and out manourvered by the Russkis.
When its more important where you went to school than what you learnt, then brain power comparisons are moot.
Iran Nuclear/sanctions talks/agreement still does not equal geopolitical outcomes in Syria...
Russia jumps in, aaaaaaand shit just got real
Moving the refugees out. Pretty soon the world can have some WAR!
How humane of us.
excuse us.....we were busy trying to prop up the market.........
Fucking Neo Cons. Why should anyone give a damn about Iran in the first place?
America is not supposed to be Israel's bitch.
Obama won the Nobel Peace prize for this.
...not supposed to be, but IT IS.
America = BagHoldersRUs
You said it. It took many years of creeping control over the media and the placement of dual citizens into important positions of power, but 9/11 was the "informal" announcement of israel's new colonial conquest.
HELP
This should be great news! How long can ISIS last fighting the US, Russia, Iran, Canada and who ever else the fuck is over there? Certainly Obozo will have an opportunity to claim victory! Not sure why this shouldl be a humiliation? He needs to turn this into lemonade!
It'll be interesting to see what logic they use to try and make Russia and Iran the bad guys for helping the US fight ISIS! Probably something along the lines of it'll be too crowded in the fighting zone and it'll make it more difficult to wipe out ISIS, what with having overwhelming force and technology available all in one spot.
Where did we put that "Mission Accomplished" banner?
it was rolled up and sparked in the "Choom Wagon"
Are you ready for some football!!! The most read story on the Wall Street Journal today was how Steely Dan created Deacon Blues. Not one mention of the limit up/limit down escapades of the stock market overnight. This major offensive will be nothing but a blurp tomorrow if it's mentioned at all. Did you see the GIF of Donald Trumps hair? Wow. Kim K has a big ass. Cait Jenner was micro-aggressed! What the fuck? Just when you think it can't get any worse.. it exceeds your expectations. The ink hasn't dried on Obama's biggest accomplishment and our counterparty is already sticking his finger in our eye.
This is going exactly as "Hoped for Change." We are dumb. Really dumb.
Stop the planet. I want off.
Now wait just a minute there pilgrim, we've still got ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank to fall back on!
Thats sumpin! ;-)
Has anyone implicated Putin in Deflatgate, yet?
We know Brady didn't do it.
Vlad did take that ring off that [Koch Bro.?] poser. Which I thought was hillarious.
Tough being ISIS right now, are you allied to Russia against the US etc or are you allied to the US against Assad. Since ISIS wants to remove Assad, I guess that makes ISIS a US ally, thats even worse than the US ousting the democratically elected government in the Ukraine and putting in Neo-Nais to govern.
What is the world coming too?
For sure 2 things will happen- More americans will die and more money will go from taxpayers to the MIC.
and Obozo will still fuck it up
what did they expect??? let USA and Israel just make waste to all nations as they did in Iraq and Syria? Putin said enough after Libya... he was quoted saying it.
FU Nuland and CIA... roast in hell.. time for the US people to restore the constitution
Where's that poster Stumpy who things he can front run Vlad?
I think Russia may have weapons that the Empire can't fight.
What if Assad declares a no fly zone and Russia turns on the apparatus that scared Donald Cook?
And Assad deployed missiles like the ones that killed the Israeli jet a few days ago?
I can see you tubes of Rafale jets being scattered across the sky.
Bankster War
All wars are bankster wars.
Anyone have any more news about that F-16 that was supposedly shot down? Ziad at Syrian Perspective said the Syrians launched the cheaper and older SA-2 and SA-9 as a decoy then launched an S-300 to finish it off.
http://syrianperspective.com/
I think the Russians have some sort of short range EMP thing going. Some have said it is a virus.
ISIS Broke? I wonder if Sec. Jack Lew is moaning for money from Congress cause McCain's ISIS may be going broke? The Suaid and Langley checks may be bouncing.
I like Ziad who is a Syrian Christian attorney in Michigan but he sometimes engages in some hyperbole but he loves the Syrian people.

There is no magic. The pension and social security crowd will be robbed.
If New York has to be cooked, New York will be cooked.
so can we start placing bets on who will win WW3
WTF should you expect,Russia is not a plaything their not europeans willingly doing as their told. American policy has created this whole mess beginning with encirleing russia, beginning in complete earnest in the Ukrane and putting them in an impossible circunstance. Iran has been jacked by American falsehoods,bullying and complete lack of consideration of their rightful interest. Our political system is complete BS, whose running the show I dont know, I cant blame any one except maybe all of us who have tolerated this crap system and years of BS policy that has used up lives and resourses to get elected, how sick are we? Its not even selfish interest its just make war while our house falls down around us, please do not respond with identifying the usual groups of evil doers. this is America and we are americans and we need to get our house in order, we should stand up and put a stop to this nonsense.
"we should stand up and put a stop to this nonsense."
Nah, one more day. Let’s see what develops.
"top officials were scheduled to meet at the National Security Council Deputies Committee level to discuss how to respond to the growing buildup of Russian military equipment and personnel in Latakia" and that Russia is "set to start flying combat missions from a new air base inside Syria."
They are in a panic because their phony terrorists who love making green screen videos with Rita Katz may actually get their asses shot off by the Syrian Army, Hezbollah and the Russians?
Ha ha. I hope those Xe, Blackwater, Academie boys have their life insurance policies paid up cause they will sell you out like they sold out those See Eye Aye paramilitaries in Benghazi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqGUkVLot6I
Go to 2:34 - this ugly MF'er who was supposedly Bureau Land Management at Bundy Ranch was one of them Blackwater boys because his ugly mug was seen in videos in Afghanistan and Iraq. Ugly MF'er traitor.
They were using mercs at the Bundy Ranch.

as soon as the S400 is turned on... Israeli skies belong to Russia.... and I am sure it is already on...
no IDF f16's better try any stunts again.. or whammo - blown to bits...
perhaps S500 there too, of course on the ships... Israel better stay home and act all not guilty and shit.
Israel's recent M.O is to use others to fight their battles if possible.
That said, during the 1973 Arab Israeli war, Israeli planes were getting blown out of the sky in Syria by SA-6s. They altered their tactics to target the SAM sites first, and overcame the Syrian air defenses. This thing is just getting started I'm afraid.
Syria didn't have these in 1973...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY90V44aTqM
Sure they did. 40 years later I can still vividly remember seeing it on TV while at a college class in Cambridge. Many of the students were Jewish and were distraught.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1985/MML.htm
"Like Egypt, Syria also organized its surface-to-air missile batteries and anti-aircraft artillery into a separate air defense command under the control of Colonel Ali Saleh. This command was built around approximately 32 SA-6 batteries and 12 to 20 SA-2 and SA-3 batteries."
Also, from an Air War College pdf file, "Flexible Air Strategy and The 1973 October War"
"One of the most prominent factors in the October war was the battle of technology."
"The Israelis took heavy losses, especially on the Syrian front, from the SA-6's with some estimates as high as 25 aircraft in the first 100 hours of the war."
On the other hand, the score in air-to-air kills was 79-1 for Israel.
To the best of my knowledge, that one loss was the last US-built fighter lost in air-to-air combat. 42 years and counting.
It looks a few US US built fighters have been lost in air-to-air combat after 1973, but not many.
http://www.migflug.com/jetflights/the-combat-statistics-for-all-the-airc...
Anyway the point I was trying to make is that even with Russia's latest technology, war is not static and their opponents can adjust.
I for one look forward to the day we see the bodies of IDF terrorists raining down from the skies above Syria.
Break out the popcorn and enjoy.
The responsible world power, Russia. Arming the psychos with nukes, proping up brutal dictators and invading its neighbors. Neo-mafiaism, Russia's new export commodity. Right there on a level with terrorism.
u wot m8?
This is not a CNN (Cartoon Narrative Network) site; please go back to CNN or MSNBC.
.
The responsible world power, USA has cleared the way for Iran to get nukes.(even after Iran vows to vaporize Israel with said nukes) They overthrow brutal dictators when they no longer support US policy using IS, Isil, Isis, and a host of other warlords who will take all arms and training the us will send. Then use those arms to wage war on our own troops.
Need the drone attacks which are heavy in collateral damage be mentioned?
Don't know your precise definition of terrorism, but the US actions are certainly terroristic in nature.
The US no longer resembles even remotely the country as it was founded.
The worst part of all; with the US now well on its way to becoming a totalitarian state...
There is nowhere on the planet to ecape to.
Obama does not represent the people of the USA.
Neither does the cry baby supposedly representing the republicans in the US house of representatives.
Please stop confusing what Obama wants with what US voters want. He may have been born in Hawaii, but he was raised outside the USA by parents who openly hated US values and interests.
The Democrats and GO-PEE sell out Americans at every turn when they are not bowing to Bibi and Israel.
Don't look now Colonel Klink but the ISIS troops are about to refugee their way home. They'll be fixin to talk with your banksters.
Ziad's Syrian Persepctive said that ISIS may be broke.
Anyone get the feeling that much of ISIS is in those columns of "refugees" streaming into Europe? I wonder if they will be relocated to Langley, VA and Fort Detrick, Maryland?
"It's hard to forecast whether Russia's presence will decide the fate of Syria, but it will lengthen the fighting and bloodletting for at least another year because ISIS won't give up," said the source.
should read
"It's hard to forecast whether Russia's presence will decide the fate of Syria, but it will lengthen the fighting and bloodletting for at least another year because the parties supporting ISIS (US, Israel, Turkey, etc.) won't give up," said the source.
Just because the Obama regime is supporting (creating) ISIS does not mean the average US voter could find Syria on a map of the middle east...
And those who do know where Syria is, also know it is none of our business. The French and British have graveyards in Syria and Iraq from 100 years ago -- long before the criminals in Washington DC tried to "help". The meddling didn't work 100 years ago any better than it is now.
Obama created ISIS. Obama wants war (don't tell the Nobel Peace Prize idiots).
Don't know what Israelis or Turks want -- but I know this: US voters want the US economy to benefit someone outside Washington DC for a change.
Iran picked its side? They have been supporting Assad for years.
Me? I believe in competition. Let all gas suppliers bid for European business.
You are only saying that now, because the smash and grab attempt to grab what you wanted looks to be going terminal.
You only die once, don’t be a coward.
Born Once and die twice OR Born twice and die once...there is the eternal state. That voice in your head is the inner-man and does not cease. If it did, then there is not point to life; you start from nothing and end in nothing which makes everything in between equally nothing. We were made for much better purpose; hope you discover it or Him. It is life transforming in the purest sense, but only a few ever experience it; yet the Few are great in number.
Ah man, we were bred to stack.
It all goes black in the end, get over it.
Ditch Rand Draft Ron
But Obama rhymes with Osama, Obama killed Osama. Everything is awesome.
/s
Go PUTIN!! The US uses the Shiites against the Sunnis both under the intended confusion of IS, ISIS & ISIL & create a civil war. In Iraq we fund and train the Sunnis and in Syria we fund and train the Shiites; nice of U.S. to create such devastation.
Obama vows to speed up ‘training ISIL’, WH edit adds confusion (VIDEO) http://www.rt.com/usa/272470-obama-training-isis-slip/RT?
Can't we just some nice nationalistic Bloomberg or NYT's propaganda for once? ;-)
is ISIS better than the Georgian Army?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY90V44aTqM
I read somewhere that the Georgians were told Russia had some Chechen volunteers loyal to Russia and Putin. Like a small contingent of 100 + men. The Georgians supposedly pissed in their pants because the Chechens are as mean as Gurkas.
I know the leader of Chechnya has vowed to Putin to provide 20,000 volunteers if Putin ever needed them. Syria could probably use about 1,000.
I wonder if we will see any phony ISIS green screen Rita Katz videos with the orange prison outfits, perp walks and phony murders of hostages. Maybe Spielberg can help Rita with these hostages being eaten by sharks or dinosaurs.
it would be comical if it all wasn't so sickening. Meanwhile, the Saudis, Qatar, UAE and other scum loyal to USA are having another genocide in Yemen. Endless wars for the NWO.
Food is being blockaded by the Saudis to starve the people of Yemen. Sickening.
http://www.moonofalabama.org/
WTF! When are they going to send a batallion to US to help us to overthrow the traitors and dual-citizens (Jews) who have taken over our government?
Theater of the absurd revisited. The only groups truly fighting ISIS are Assad, Hezbollah and Iran. Russia is a long time ally of Syria and has a military base in Tartus (the US has >700 military bases in foreign countries). Is this surprising that Iran and Russia are supporting the government in Syria?
Saudi retards are doubling down in Yemen according to Moon of Alabama:
Moon is a great blog site.
More Saudi clown fuckery.
http://www.moonofalabama.org/
The invasion force in Yemen is growing. The invasion troops now include:
All together the force ha now nearly the size of an infantry division in a "western" army. That is not really much should these want to advance from Marib towards the capital Sanaa through the mountainous terrain inhabited by an unfriendly and well armed population.
If this IS meme gets exposed the implications for the US/Israeli intelligence terrorist apparatus are quite dim. They have really left themselves (and us) vulnerable with this batshit crazy ISIS facade. If things continue to worsen I would expect RT to blow the lid off the whole thing with evidence in hand, you know their intelligence has to have evidence, worldwide people have already been drawn into Russian media because while they do a shit job at covering their own corruption, they have actually done a decent job on covering stories that are linked to US/Israeli corruption so the audience is already there. RT's coverage has been perceptively tightening recently as they are obviously not going to announce all of their moves, one has to wonder if one day they will drop the hammer.
That narcissist Obama is going to blow his patholigical lid if this Russia and Iran thing is going down.
This is where it gets a bit wacky. Why don't the Russians just come out with all of it? 9/11? The Moon? JFK? Russia should start a Radio Free America to break all the idiots out of their propaganda mind-prisons.
Never interupt your enemy when he's making mistakes.
Maybe they know better than to waste their time exposing truth to a bunch of asshats with their heads up their ass who wouldn't believe the truth if you shoved it down their throat. Anyway, who won last night? Pats or Steelers?
Maybe. Still an interesting question to me.
seriously? what does the world expect when 'Turkey' having the largest standing army in NATO only behind the USSA has fragrantly crossed into n.w. iraq's sovereign territory.
last i check, that was an act of war!
Russia, Syria, Iran and now Iraq are opening their skys for any russian fighter jets. they can't trust Turkey for obvious reasons, but greece certainly is on board with bulgaria on the precipice of coming around? Big if, though?

The country behind 911 is not SA, but rather that other US ally just north on the coast of the Med, that starts with the letter "I". Check out the Chesed Gomel incident:

Ha ha ha - Iranian troops? As soldiers, they aren't much, but they make fine targets.
And yet they look like Spartans compared to Saudi Arabian soldiers.
Those last three words make me laugh.
I wonder who's really flying their jets.
I see now, from the ynet link that the source of the annonymous quote, used repeatedly above, stating that Russian involvement "will lengthen the conflict", is according to ynet, "an Israeli analyst".
I call bs on this "lengthen the conflict" meme. Look at the chaos in Lybia, in Iraq after we deposed those governments. Is that what he means by the conflict being over? Who knows? Maybe Russia will get it done in a matter weeks?
wonder how the naked gold shorting will work when this gets underway
This is kind of wacky - "and [Iran] can pivot in any direction in the Syrian conflict, it has decided to side with Russia and Syria."
Like this is a surprise? Iran and Syria have been allied for a long time. Over all, I appreciate the article, but TD, or at least this TD, no need to dramatize an already dramatic situation, imo. Wordy for words sake is not the ZH-style.
"top officials were scheduled to meet at the National Security Council Deputies Committee level to discuss how to respond to the growing buildup of Russian military equipment and personnel in Latakia"... Alas, Babylon
Can't wait for China to send troops to defend Assad. Checkmate suckers.

Bomb the Chinese Embassy in Damascus ! Booyah
I wondered how long it would take for Iran to move to support their fellow Shia(ish).
Bullshit.
Unless Obama promised to protect Russia, Syria and Iran from ISIS, then Russia, Iran, and Syrians have a bloody right and duty to defend themselves, They fuc*ing LIVE there or uncomfortably close to where these asshats are roaming free, blowing up world heritage sites, beheading men and raping women (and avoiding platoons of female Kurdish sharpshooters) like MAD MAX villans. We invaded Granada over CONSIDERABLY less.
Last I checked, the Iran deal was with Iran and did not in any way midigate the threat of Watanabi ISIS to other parites in the region.

The "Cult of the Personality" .... Stalin The "Cult of the Cipher Idiots" .... Obama, Kerry, Hillary Having a personality .... implies a certain level of intelligence !

A brilliant use of Monedian Logic !

The Giant Bear in the North has finally woken up and enraged, Helping the Snake with support from the Scorpion.
The Biggest question that remaings, will the Iron Dragon awaken from its Den or watch and wait for the appropriate time
It seems that these events were inevitable, just like a game of chess the pieces are finally moving into positon.
To think this (the current sistuation) hasn't been war gamed by all sides is absurd.
Don't be too quick to cheer any move by anyone. There will be counter moves. And then moves to counter those moves.
What do I expect? "Mysterious" explosions at Iranian refineries. Russia's Muslim population gets restive.
Maybe the Sauds decide to "fight" ISIS. Maybe the Russian people get demoralized when the body bags start coming home, Maybe Putin/Iran start running short of cash.
Maybe France gets in.
Maybe ISIS is revealed as a US proxy. Maybe Russia and Iran run out of cash.
Or something else.
whatever , USA may run out of shekels.
Don't worry Stanley Fischer got off the plane from Tel Aviv last year weighted down with shekels
Nelson, Rubio, Buchanan you have unleashed a whirl wind. The death of one American or one Jew is on your hands. God help you.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. It sucks to be a liberal.
If it's a liberal American or Black Lives Don't matter protester - not so much! But a Jew or any Conservative - God help OBAMA
What did Pat Buchanan have to do with this? He was against all the meddling from the beginning.
Ethnic politics in action.
Agreed. There will be some dead Mercs on the ground soon.High risk/High yield.The brits captured some in the Falklands/Malvinas conflict.No geneva convention for white guys shooting at you.I find it interesting that everyone is using drones over there.Airspace must be getting crowded.All these dead civilians for a pipeline? Why not twenty years ago? Fairly peaceful in Syria until all this Arab Spring stuff started. Hmm....
What this means is that the Saudis will back ISIS even more strongly.

This was't widely reported:
Israel has shot down a Syrian Fighter Jet flying into Israeli Air Space
2 Sept.
prolly means Golan
Russia will make sure that they get evidence that ISIS is CIA/Mossad directed.
There seems to be some evidence of US training.
With all those down votes I must be mistaken. Evidently it was widely reported.
Arab Spring .... gives way to .... Russian Winter !
Obummer and Kerry are looking like real chumps now. Dumb and dumber.
I spend every minute of my day focused on who rules Syria. I just can't be a whole American unless I'm preoccupied with someone else's government.
Where is Syria on the map again?
