Clock Ticks On US Syria Strategy As Assad Pounds ISIS Targets, Russia Sends Fighter Jets
Earlier this week, Bashar al-Assad served notice to ISIS that the tide may have just turned in the battle for Syria. The Kremlin’s move to increase its “logistical” and “technical” support for government forces at Latakia appears to have breathed new life into the regime which carried out a series of air raids in the de facto ISIS capital Raqqa on Thursday.
This came amid reports that Assad’s forces were using new “highly effective and very accurate” weaponry. "There are modern weapons that the regime didn't previously have, be they rocket launchers or air to ground to missiles," The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told Reuters.
Needless to say, Russia’s move to bolster Assad and the suggestion by Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Moualem that Damascus may soon formally request Russian ground troops for the fight has alarmed Washington which, until now, was content to bide its time until Assad finally fell before swooping in to “liberate” the country from whatever militia managed to prevail. As we outlined on Friday, that option is now officially off the table, as toppling Assad will now mean ISIS, al-Nusra, YPG, and the various and sundry other groups operating throughout the country will need to first defeat Russia, an exceptionally unlikely outcome and one that the Pentagon certainly cannot afford to wait out. With its back against the wall in terms of explaining to the public why it seems more and more like the US would rather allow ISIS to continue to operate rather than ally with Russia and Assad to defeat them, Obama and Kerry folded on Friday, instructing Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to phone his Russian counterpart to begin coordinating anti-terror activities in Syria. Here's The New York Times:
As the first Russian combat aircraft arrived in Syria, the Obama administration reached out to Moscow on Friday to try to coordinate actions in the war zone and avoid an accidental escalation of one of the world’s most volatile conflicts.
The White House seemed to acknowledge that the Kremlin had effectively changed the calculus in Syria in a way that would not be soon reversed despite vigorous American objections. The decision to start talks also reflected a hope that Russia might yet be drawn into a more constructive role in resolving the four-year-old civil war.
At Mr. Obama’s instruction, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter on Friday opened a dialogue on Syria with his Russian counterpart, Defense Minister Sergei K. Shoigu, aimed at making sure that American and Russian forces avoid running into each other by mistake.
“The Russians are going into Syria because the regime’s position in the north is deteriorating,” he noted. “The Pentagon has been unable to recruit and train a viable opposition to fight the Islamic State because the rebels’ main interest is in fighting Mr. Assad. Given divisions between Moscow and Washington, it’s hard to see how you turn convergence on tactical military issues into a collective and viable political strategy to stabilize Syria and end the war.”
But that appears to be precisely Mr. Kerry’s goal. “They allege that they also share the goal of a political transition that leads to a stable, whole, united, secular Syria,” Mr. Kerry said of the Russians on Britain’s Channel 4. “The question always remains, Where is Assad’s place and role within that? And that’s what we need to have more conversation on.”
Note that this is a bitter defeat for Washington. Moscow, realizing that instead of undertaking an earnest effort to fight terror in Syria, the US had simply adopted a containment strategy for ISIS while holding the group up to the public as the boogeyman par excellence, publicly invited Washington to join Russia in a once-and-for-all push to wipe Islamic State from the face of the earth. Of course The Kremlin knew the US wanted no such thing until Assad was gone, but by extending the invitation, Putin had literally called Washington’s bluff, forcing The White House to either admit that this isn’t about ISIS at all, or else join Russia in fighting them.
The genius of that move is that if Washington does indeed coordinate its efforts to fight ISIS with Moscow, the US will be fighting to stabilize the very regime it sought to oust.
In other words: checkmate, courtesy of The Kremlin.
And while Washington scrambles to decide its next move, Assad was back on offense Friday, launching what observers said were the heaviest air strikes yet on ISIS targets near the ancient city of Palmyra. Here’s BBC:
About 25 air strikes left at least 26 people dead, including 12 militants, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
IS captured Palmyra, which includes a Unesco World Heritage site, in May.
Elsewhere, air strikes on Idlib killed 17 people, the Observatory said.
The city of Idlib is a stronghold of an alliance of jihadist and Islamist groups calling itself the Army of Conquest.
Syrian military sources quoted by Reuters have said Syria is using new types of very accurate weapons supplied by its ally, Russia.
The latest air strikes came a day after Syrian air force jets attacked Raqqa, the de facto capital of IS.
"In the past two days, the regime has intensified its air raids against areas controlled by the Islamic State group," Observatory spokesman Rami Abdel Rahman said.
And from Al Arabiya:
Syrian warplanes unleashed a wave of deadly airstrikes on the militant-held town of Palmyra in central Syria on Friday, killing at least 15 and wounding many more, activists said, in some of the heaviest bombardment since the extremist group seized the ancient town May 10.
The Palmyra airstrikes come a day after the Syrian army carried out heavy air raids in the northern city of Raqqa, also held by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria group (ISIS).
A local activist who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons reported at least 30 air raids on Palmyra Friday. A local media collective called the strikes a “massacre” and said 15 people were killed and more than 120 wounded. It said Palmyra’s only hospital was suffering severe shortages in staff and equipment, and some of the wounded had to be taken to Raqqa, more than 200 kilometers (125 miles) away.
In short, the Assad regime appears to have gone from depleted and exhausted, to “massacring” rebel fighters in the space of just two weeks, a remarkable turnaround which certainly seems to suggest that if the US doesn’t figure out a strategy soon, the whole thing could be over and Assad restored.
Incidentally, Hezbollah claims to have beaten back a rebel advance in Foua on Friday. Here's Al Arabiya again:
Meanwhile, a coalition of rebel groups launched a major ground offensive on two predominantly Shiite villages in the northern province of Idlib, firing dozens of rockets and detonating at least seven booby-trapped vehicles on their outskirts.
The coalition, known as Jaysh al-Fateh, or “Army of Conquest,” attacked Foua and Kfarya villages earlier Friday. Both are held by pro-government forces in an otherwise rebel-controlled province.
Syrian TV and Manar, a station owned by Lebanon’s Hezbollah group, said popular defense forces - a term used to refer to Shiite militias - foiled attempts by “terrorists” to attack Foua and destroyed five armored vehicles. Hezbollah fighters are also fighting to defend the two villages.
Bear in mind that the main reason for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Moscow on Monday is to prevent Russia's presence in Syria from strengthening Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the man some suspect of masterminding the entire effort to restore the Assad regime, Quds commander Major General Qassem Soleimani, seems to understand the US strategy all too well - we close with the following from Iran's PressTV:
Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Qassem Soleimani said Wednesday that the policy of the US with regards to Daesh and other Takfiri groups operating in the region is to only have them under control and not eliminate them.

First, you have it backwards. Russia already won in Ukraine, which is why it is now able to move on to Syria.
Second, Syria is not Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, the ruling regime was not friendly with the Soviets.
Third, the entity that was the Soviet Union changed its name and released its poorest border states from central control. Big deal. It is like if the PRC released direct control of Tibet and changed its name to just China and the rest of the world was like "WE GOT 'EM BOYS! WE DEFEATED THE PRC!"
Really?
The Soviet Union's transition to "Russia" allowed it all kinds of access to the rest of the world. It has now become stronger than ever.

Terrific article. Superb narrative. Essentially Obama can no longer bleed Assad through ISIS. And he will have to coordinate with Putin or it looks mightily suspicious to Europe overwhelmed by refugees
And this aggressive Syrian air force display makes a No Fly Zone moot
Obama and Kerry come off as sore losers. Give Hezbollah all the small arms they need and tell Netanyahoo to gack to murdering Gazan children which is all he is good at
Admittedly, I am a Putin supprter, but he just caught Obama with his pants down.
Wait till Putin's speech before the UN General Assembly. America will go apoplectic over being on the brunt end of a scolding
I had been impatient with Putin over Syria. I should have had faith that he would not fold
Obama by telling Carter to callShoigu means he lost his nerve
Hope my man bangs his shoe on the podium....or throws it at a certain idiot's face!!!! Can't wait!
I too was impatient with Putin for taking the crap that Obama was dishing out to Russia with practically nothing in reprisal. But the same feelings that annoyed us, was cause for celebration in the White House and Pentagon.
The Negro and his followers in the media though that Putin was all washed up.
But Putin, covered by this 'passive defense', was busy organizing tours for displaced Syrians to Budapest and Berlin, Zagreb and Brussels, with trips to London and New York to follow.
Suddenly the hypocrite-fiends of Western Europe wanted the conflict in Syria over.
Yesterday.
When you can guess what moves military men are planning, prolly his enemy can too.
Thanks to the Russians the end is near, no more war and many of the migrants will go back once they understand the EU has very little to offer them. We Have totally different values that do not mix with the Islamic values, and these values are the back bone of Islam.
Sorry, the Islamic occupation of Europe is an Israeli protocol, you will be assimilated and destroyed to make way for the hegemony of Greater Israel.
And methinks this may soon come to pass: Isaiah 17 1
1 The burden against Damascus. "Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.To quote the great real estate developer "We're a nation being led by idiots!!" So true.
Remember that great song from the '80s?
"The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum."

fact is, it doesn't take much anymore to outwit the Yanks. about time.
Yet another neocon fiasco. Uncounted billions gone, Syriah shattered forever, oh, and our dearest allies in Europe overrun with filthy penniless refugees. Way to go Team America!
Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to collect welfare benefits and rape the white indigenous female masses because they're infidels.
I recall that in the Bush Jr years the Neocons were referring to Syria as the "low hanging fruit".
European socialism needs to be destroyed. And weak effeminate pacifist faggy European men need to be toughened up by a life time of beatings and muggings by Muslims.
David Cameron to Obama
"Now what should I do?"
Well, we will have a "gay" Secretary of the Army soon. As soon as those pesky ISIS people see the new "gay pride battle flag" they will run in terror. Next up, bestiality affectionados will be on the preferred promotion lists.
Well done.
But I wonder if the last part of the that.
My guess is that the US is losing control of ISIS through hubris. Russia got called in to save Europe. It was okay if Isis killed all the Muslims, but having them at the palace gate will never do.
Sorry
dupe
ISIS is Team Obama all the way and for the Daily Double Al Qaeda in Syria - Jabhat Al Nusra - are a jointly sponsored Netanyahoo / Obama outfit
The U.S. is probably glad that Russia has volunteered to do the housecleaning. Putin in a French maid's uniform.
No, I think it's Obongo , or high ranking US military officals that are into French Maid outfits. I'm surprised that Bruce "Cait" isn't a consultant to the US Army.
Don't worry, the new gay Sec of the Army will fix everything
And if it tight better yet.
He'll give ISIS a licking they won't soon forget.
The US government telegraphs its every move, it is a kind of hubris and ego, a superpower that barks loudly. It is Russia who walks softly and carries a big stick. I would expect Russia to lead Assad to victory, massacring terrorists.
the russian axis now in place.
Obama cedes Syria to Putin and thus allows an Iranian initiative also which will have repercussions in Lebanon (Hezbollah), in Yemen (Houthi) and Palestine (Hamas).
A major shift in the ME power structure now seems in the making as the Lausanne Deal between US/IRan has changed the game.
What will Saud do now?
And watch the French and Germans try and win some contracts both in Iran and in Saud...when alliances fold new ambitions are born.
Pax Americana...wither now?
Nice synthesis. Reads like a trailer for Jim Willie’s next newsletter.

Like the Americans in control say.........."American Interests" are what the Military fight for....Right or wrong, Obama said.....We have No Friends, only Opportunities".
That being said, and the dumbed down General American Population with an Army pumped on Roids think thier shit doesn't stink. Wrap the stars and stripes around you and die for your freedom......Well now, How did that work out?
The Congress is bought, the army is Mercinary and the financial system controls. The Biggest lobby group is Israel...who profits from this? Not mainsteet. They own you. If you don't have a problem with that.....Carry On .

Seems only Assad and Putin knows exact locations of ISIS bases... USSA has no clue, LMAO. Seriously, how stupid USSA think people are? Who in their right mind believes USSA is actually fighting ISIS? Make no mistake though, if it wasn't for the Russian support Assad would have been gone a long time ago...

With time hopefully we can say ISIS came, ISIS saw, ISIS died.
I was just reading Russian news (Sputnik) and Kerry the Horse Face is asking for a negotiated deal about Syria with Russia and Assad. It only took one week of Russian pressure. Did the other horse shoe drop?. I think it is all too little, too late.
"US State Secretary John Kerry said that the US is willing to negotiate with the Syrian government to resolve the Syrian conflict without the Syrian president's removal as an apparent precondition."Putin is tightening Kerrys twitch.
The Iran deal is done so nothing is restraing Puin anymore.
Kerry is gelded.
Anybody know if the Iran deal was the green light for Putin to act? I am not getting the Iran deal. i see the pivot away from Saudis probably because their oil may be running out.
The only reason I can see why the Iran deal was done was for mega US corps to win business and if Iran agreed to having a BIS Central Bank.
I am missing the pieces here. Any ideas???
Obama is going to have a political nightmare on his hands once people start putting it all together that the "War on ISIS" is a lie. Why is Obama not welcoming Putin's assitance in ridding the world of the ISIS scurge? Putin has pulled the curtain back, and lookey what we see. This is not going to be a pleasant revelation for the mass media to explain, particularly given the atrocites ISIS has committed.
You are assuming that the mass media will bother to explain the contradictions. Most likely, they will rewrite history and present it as Obama was always on the side of Russia, much as American media rewrote history after 9/11 and ignored that Osama Bin Laden was once an honored "freedom fighter" working for America in Afghanistan. The masses will then return to obsessing with the Kardashian / Jenner clan.
Suddlenly USSA wants to sit at the negotiating table with Assad, pronto, LMAO! They say a "political solution" is better than war... Russians making USSA look like fools on this one, but that's what you get messing with foreign countries with your "smart" strategies... even mainstream MSM is now reporting all over the place that USSA spent 400 mil on training 4 "moderate" rebels to fight ISIS... what a disgrace.
Wag the dog ain't wagging anymore.
ISIS is not a US problem, it's a US asset, and only American targets Syria and Kurds (PKK) were attacked in the region, with the West propagandized for boogeyman effect and justification.
It's more propaganda again (as some here allude to) to think that US affiliates Turkey, Israel, Iraq (other than PKK), Jordan will be attacked by ISIS when they flee Syria. Only the PKK will remain targets because they want independence from the Imperialists. The US lackeys are safe.
Think of the US as the Borg. "We Are the Borg, You Will be Assimilated. Resistance is Futile". There's never been Borg attacking Borg, once they are assimilated, they attack all non Borg exclusively
I'm all for Russia spending some money killing those fucking isis fuckers. About time. All the trash in the world heads for ISIS. What a great way to get them in the same place. BOOM, bitches, how's that flag planting on the White House going you morons. It's a good way for Russia to try and save it's last bastion in the Mid East and not look like thats what they are doing.
Two things in this collage of read(s) that caught my eye...
The disturbingly shameful comment from the ultimate two faced hypocrit "Horse Face's" mouth that the U.S. is somehow trying to preserve a "secular Syria"... And that Palmyra being bombed by Assad forces is a "protected UNESCO heritage sight that like Iraq has been obliterated by American intervention since 2003...
Vlad pummel the motherfucking shit out of us Yanks along with the bought and paid defacto Erik Prince bunch that fucked it all to hell in the first place!
P.S.
Send lots of pictures. I want to see this happen to a few U.S.and Israeli service women that get "caught"!
Two articles in a row lionising Soleimani. We are all waiting for the Ballad of Qassem.

Yeah I wouldn't worry to much Benji... It's not like BiBi was too concerned that he had to drop everything to make a special trip to Moscow!..
Good news for you my friend the Russians have the longest history and love of your people and are always ready to tell you what they think of you... Along with that whore that carries around that torch and where's a tiara that you own!
I like russians, no sarc. Just got ticked by the soleimani worshipping cult that appears to be starting, reminiscent of Che Guevara. He has been compared to Erwin Rommel by the fandom, weird, considering how Erwin lost almost every battle he was in and failed to kill Hitler with a bomb placed 2 meters away but yeah, genius..
I like russians, no sarc.
And so does BiBi...
Trust me, I'm sure if the timing is right he'll make "such a deal" to the Russians hand delivered by Jonathan Pollard himself on a silver platter.
But bring your knee pads just in case!...
Rommell lost almost every battle ? Really ?
El Alamein, the route of the British to the borders of Egypt, Kasserine Pass (Rommell wasn't even there).
Anyway, Big Jew Bibi isn't being taken too seriously by Putin - a few years back Bibi instructed Russia not to provide Syria with air defense systems - funny how the IDF AF has stopped bombing in Syria the last few years.
What would be pure genius would be for ISIS to be run out of Syria and turned on the Kike Kingdon.
Lost there, lost at normandy, lost all the time. Like Che Guevara, but the fandom always has a soft spot for photogenic martyrs.
"Lost Normandy" - so that means Rommell lost nearly all of his battles. Lee lost Gettysburg - but won most of his battles. If the Wermacht had been situated in France instead of 80% in Russia the English and Americans would have been food for the eels.USSA has always had an exaggerated sense of its military prowess - it proves it everytime it attacks and destroys a 3rd world Muzzie nation.
Lots of Ifs, we could spend a week about the Ifs. The enamored fandom will always find reasons to save face.
The guy was incompetent even as a traitor and could not kill Hitler with a bomb next to him. I'm sorry for the cognitive disssonance, but Erwin Rommel was one of the worst generals ever in terms of actually delivering results. I know, i know, always someone elses fault... you never see people getting that defensive with other german generals, only with Rommel the prettyboy.
But hey, Monty had a pic of him, how romantic with all the dunes.
Few know that, just as the Allies scored victories due to code cracking, the Germans did the same early in WW2 in the Mid East.
Much of Rommel's success could be down to knowing what the UK was doing after cracking the US diplomatic codes and not military genius.
Rommel lead the invasion of France -took about a week. His misatke was the political decision of Hitler to not destroy the British army and instead allow them to evacuate at Dunkirk.
Probably tank leader was Guderian, but who is counting?
Hitler's political decision was to use the Luftwaffe to destroy the BEF. See my comments above supporting the notion that it is, in fact, grunts who win the fucking mess. Some others lend dignity to what otherwise would be a vulgar brawl.
- Ned
rommel had the concept at normandy -- fight for the beaches. von rundstedt argued for 'mobile reserves'.
rommel's command of the 7th panzer division in france, 1940 was legendary.
some people do say that rommel was better as a divisional commander, as opposed to corps/army level.
One giant pig fuck!
I stay away from those like the plague. Like that guy Rusty's offer to go out back for a smoke.
Putin can let Western markets do the hard work.
All they need is a little push to take them over the edge and the West goes down.
The Western financial system nearly destroyed itself in 2008.
I think Putin has spotted our weakest link.
Afghanistan.
The USSA bug out of Afghanistan is comeing soon.
How about a twofer: Afghanistan and Viet Nam.
Indeed. Afghanistan... 2015.
Moral of the story: If you are a mid easterner, then don't take gifts from western militaries or they will see to it that you are killed.
Hey, the Russians are MY HEROES - they defeated the Germans in WWII...And don't confuse the Russian people with the likes of Lenin and Stalin...
The Russians were Allied with the Germans in WW2. At the start, The Poles are still not happy about that.
You must be one of those anti-Pootin bastards.
So was the US.
So were Italy and Romania.
Russia "won" easily in Afghanistan. And then they had to hold it. Top of the fourth. Rissia 1. ISIS 0.
To Vlad, the US PTB must seem like a gaggle of five-year-olds.
Does this mean that Washington isn't going to install
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as coup President of Syria??
We don't know, Nudelman & Bibi haven't agreed on a choice yet.
+100
Checkmate, indeed. America now has to accept Russian involvement, and ACCEPT their invitation to participate - so now Russia is the Leader, America the tag-along.
It's like watching a once-a-week yoga class participant fight a black-belt in Judo.
Oh, wait...
But hey, at least we've got even more Diversity in the Armed Forces now! Yaaayyyy! (throws glitterbomb)
Raiders of the Lost Artifacts: the systematic capturing of apocrypha, ancient technology and proof of human civilization's cycles of death and rebirth. Jerusalem, Babylon, Palmyra ... Paved like a parking lot.

Notice the loaded language

So a foreign inteventionist group is not villified, but stated more as a fact, but legitimate government is villified.
TODO: any time you mean to say US government or Obama, say Obama regime instead.
....
btw, fuck you Rami Abdel Rahman
Looks more and more like the US has been using ISIS as a distraction and a way to implement a totalitarian state on its population to me.
Hey we got to defend against ISIS so we need all the draconian powers in the world!
Hey look at the war over there, the wave of refugees from war torn states ... what's that about the economy? Not like we started any of this is it?
Hey Putin, wanna give us a hand to fix Iraq and Libya too because it sure looks like you can do the job, it is not just Syria.
Smart to wait for the refugees to clear out and swamp the nato countries. Now they can take the gloves off and pound the living shit out of them.

Mr. Putin and Assad have all Neocons on Prozac.
Social appointments of women and homosexuals in the Pentagon are a weak link in our security chain because they are political statements, not positions filled based on competency. The military has one purpose: to kill people and break things, to provide protection for the American people. It is to be a weapon; and it’s dangerous for a country to appoint people merely to promote feminism, homosexual rights, acceptance of bisexuality, and more, when you’re up against a brilliant military strategist.
Repeal the laws of combat, and biology, and you join the ranks of the losers. As such, nature will take back your country; for it’s natural that men should do the fighting and natural that women should not. It’s natural if you select the best man you need for the job to be done: it’s unnatural to appoint a man because he’s black or he happens to be a homosexual. All throughout civilization, the idea was to work with nature, to use what nature taught us – be it for food, life or liberty.
Defy nature, as America has done, and Robert Sherwood explains the reality of what has happened: “Nature is proving that she can’t be beaten – not by the likes of us. She’s taking the world (the US) away from intellectuals and giving it back to the apes.”
Instead of keeping the intellectual, common-sense government that our Founders gave us, we are positioning the apes to do the job -- the people without brains who would rather make a statement on their sexuality and/or nonsense agenda. Even the Marines now are trying to figure out which combat roles the women can play.
These new changes in the principles of biology are manmade: but nature, once again, is proving that she can’t be beaten.
Appointing openly gay general for a comander, has only one thing in mind.

big deal a completely undiscplined armored column on an open highway with no anti-air weaponry gets annhiliated by an enemy with uncontested control of the skies including Apaches.
this is entirely different with unclear enemies who are often in dense and highly populated civilian areas. people have this ridiculous notion from movies and video games that the 'enemy' is clear, easy to find, and sitting out in the open waiting to be picked off by air power.

US Says Ready to Negotiate With Russia, Assad on Syria
http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20150919/1027238781.html
US State Secretary John Kerry said that the US is willing to negotiate with the Syrian government to resolve the Syrian conflict without the Syrian president's removal as an apparent precondition. The statement is the first time that the US has stated that it is willing to negotiate with the Syrian president on the issue.
"We need to get to the negotiation. That is what we're looking for and we hope Russia and Iran, and any other countries with influence, will help to bring about that, because that's what is preventing this crisis from ending," Kerry said on Saturday as cited by Reuters.
"We're prepared to negotiate. Is Assad prepared to negotiate, really negotiate? Is Russia prepared to bring him to the table?" he added.
Good. The US desperately needs more realpolitik in its foreign policy and if those interests diverge from allies at times (Israel, Gulf States, Saudi Arabia) at times then so be it. If they have happen to coincide (more arms support and intelligence to Jordan since the Arab Spring, basically putting the Egyptian generals back in power and looking the other way while sweeping the atrocities & killings under the rug) then so be it although it appauls me what we did in Egypt.
Gave those fuckers the means to kill their own civilians including intelligence and are looking the other way now on a host of other issues as long as they hunt the extreme Islamists on Sinai & jail a shitload of people unfriendly to American interests again.
and everyone is asking "Who lost Germany?"
Germany is still firmly under the control of the tribe that has owned them completely for about 100 years now.
After Russia elite made military support to Assad which is hated by Sunni (look at this map) it will get revange from Islamic terrorists in Caucasus region and in heart of Russia - that will destabilze Russia.
Here you can see that islamic terrorists already has produced attack propaganda against Russia: https://youtu.be/BejSm--Usl0
US & EU seeks to create Qatar-Turkey pipeline through Syria. That would be alternative for Russian gas in EU. So it means a major problem for Russian elite as China economy slowing down and gas deal is still not working. For Russian elite Ukraine is nothing in compare with this problem. But Syria has been an ally to Russia since 1971 when Assad’s father made deal with USSR to create naval supply and maintenance base (reality on the ground is different – its hard to call a base at all). Since then Syria is a major client for Russian military complex. So what Russian elite did was veto on Qatar-Turkey pipeline project through it’s influence on Assad regime. So what Qatar did was it organized Assad overthrow and US with EU gave a helping hand – just to get rid of Assad in order to get this project going. So why Russian elite decided to step in now? Well, things for Assad regime go bad lately. Lot of territory lost and actually end of Assad is very close. So after Assad Qatar with EU, US, Turkey (they will be happy to get rid of Kurds as they will have their country on old Syria territory) and Kurds will divide Syria. In result Russia elite can lose not only that “naval base” – but most importantly major client for it’s gas – EU. And that could be devastating blow for Russian economy. So what Russian elite hope to do is to get some piece of land in Syria to control it after Syria is dived where Assad alawites can hold their ground and still block Qatar-Turkey pipeline project. I think this is too late at this stage and Russia will only lose it’s resources and this will be hard to explain at home. But I guess as Russian elite controls media it will manage to deal with that problem. Still, if this project gets through – Russia economy is in very serious trouble and there can be a collapse. So that is what’s going on in Syria.
Nice copy and paste that is outdated based on current events.
And what exactly is outdated? Hm?
I'm 100% sure that you can be killed before any Russian fighting in Syria.
Russian elites don't give a shit about Syria or Russia's status in the Middle East. What they do care about is the issues with the ruble the past 4 years, some of the roadblocks that have had with financial sanctions put in place, and the rising inflation in Russia this year which 'officially' is 15% & unofficially much higher.

America’s News Is Heavily Censored
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2015/09/16/americas-news-is-heavil...
Your crime was not jumping into the tonguebath of Putin along with the astroturfing "Web Brigade."
Aha! So that's where they replanted your potato!
Hey even a plant can be ironic I guess; "message".
US realize they face a series of shitty options in Syria and have for a long time mainly because the US-backed groups either have no legitimacy in Syria or completely ineffective in regards to combat.
If you read European publications over the past week or two, Germany and several EU countries are placing a ton of backdoor pressure on the Americans to do something because the status qua in Syria is simply unacceptable in terms of the continued numbers of refugees.
My sense is that the US is not willing to escalate in Syria because any short-term benefits outweight the downside right now especially longer-term. Instead, they are willing to let Assad and the Russians do the heavy-lifting including trying to put the Islamic genie back in the box ultimately in Syria. It is far from an ideal status for American interests if Assad stays but the alternatives (unchecked ISIS and supportive groups) and continued mass exodus to the EU are even worse.
A lot of times in foreign policy you have to pick either the lesser of two evils or simply one slightly less shitty tactical/strategical option vs another. That is where the US is at in Syria. Simply doesn't have enough clout or players on the ground to move the needle way or another.
Down thumb tards are out again. Almost guarantee they are the same folks who make all kinds of junk comments on this thread about new openly gay head of the Army, women in the military, Muslim slurs, etc. Irrevelant crap that junks up the reading.
There is a long game to be played.
Just look at US policy in Egypt the past 2 years. US has been willing to overlook continued gross human rights violations including arrests & detainments of a wide range of dissidents not just 'Islamists', a massive and unwarranted arms spending spree by the Egyptian military, and sweep the military killings under the table.
Egypt has also fallen off the radar too in concerns of Israeli interests because they know the people who were fat and happy pre the Arab Spring are back in charge running things. Israelis have long been comfortable with the Egyptian military officials & just like their American counterparts more than willing to turn a blind eye to rampant corruption, embezzlement, and the ties they have in large parts of the Egyptian economy as long as the Islamists are kept in check.
Yes the Egyptian Army is in charge again. The Muslim Brotherhood didnt count on Saudi Arabia stopping their $12B/year aid for food and other essentials. When food prices went thru the roof, along with crime, the Arny looked like a whole lot better solution and the people turned against the Brotherhood.
Yes there is corruption. Yes there are human rights abuses. But is there anarchy,civil war and mass hunger ? If you thought the refugee crisis was bad now..
OK

And the "White Chimps" next hat trick is?...
Desperate times call for desperate measures if you're a "pathetic" delusional psychopath that has lost it all financially and militarily speaking in all the places you've fucked over!
I can just see the chimp sending his hurdy gurdy Shylock boss to Moscow to tell them if you they don't get out of Syria... Why then we'll... we'll... we'll... We'll blow major shit up in Western Europe with the "new herd" and blame it on you!!!
I like Putin much more than I like O'bummer. Maybe one day I will travel to Russia to see if it's livable. Wife's mom got her PhD there.
It's great! :)

So you're saying the shitskins won't want to invade Russia to get a high quality Western European quality of life then? Where's the problem? Western Europe has gotten so soft, so pacifist, so socialist that they are literally being exterminated by a foreign invasion as we speak and they do nothing but roll out the welcome mats.
From the comment by Ashton Carter "The Pentagon has been unable to recruit and train a viable opposition to fight the Islamic State because the rebels’ main interest is in fighting Mr. Assad. " ??
This has to be the equivalent of double, possibly triple speak. The Pentagon IS ISIS! They (ISIS) were founded, funded, trained and armed by the Pentagon. The rebels' or Pentagons' (they can be used interchageably) specific and only interest has been to fight and unseat Mr. Assad for the purpose of controlling pipeline routes. Recruiting opposition against ISIS would effectively be recruiting opposition against themselves. These people are pathological liars and deviants but seriously that does not mean they are completely stupid. The American public and world opinion are believed to be that stupid however if they are willing to force feed these pablum statements upon us.
The fight against ISIS is for public display, propaganda, manipulation, show and pretense. With the exception of the 4 or 5 Syrian fighters that were trained for $500 milliion, news that has been announced in the last few days, (we were not told if these 4 or 5 were fighting ISIS or Assad?) the entire clusterfuck is a CIA proxy army doing what we do best. As the military arm of the Zionist agenda the USCIA destabilizes, usurps, and controls for the end game of world conquest.
This blanet assumption that ISIS is somehow on cohesive and orgnanized group with a clear linear top-down hierarchy where everyone follows command is utter BS. Situation in Syria is much closer to Lebanon & Beirut in the mid-80s. A hell-zone that has been at war for several years with lots of different factions under different banners with everchanging alliances and allegiances. Even in the past 2-3 there has been notables shifts in the more extreme Islamic factions in Syria/Iraq including those groups assasinating and kill each others leaders & military commanders.
What I don't get on here is that the same people who generally assume the US and in particular the CIA are a bunch of incompetent fucks (probably more true than not since the end of the Cold War) somehow assume the CIA magically commands ISIS and the umbrella of organizations under it as a proxy-secret agent. Which is it?
Giving the CIA way too much credit. What is much more likely is that just as early on and throw the middle stages of the Afghanistan invasion by Soviet Union, the CIA and MI-6 tried to back moderates/Islamists who would play nice or be friendly to Western interests. They were almost completely ineffective too just as the CIA-backed and trained guys in Syria have been. When they get out of their comfortable facilities in Istanbul or foward training bases in Turkey and have to enter the hell zone that is Syria, it is like throwing people who can't swim into the deep end.
yep, back dem "moderate terristz" folk
Yeah and the CIA and Mossad must be having a temper tantrum because their pet, ISIS, is now being bombed to hell. Therefore the pathological liars form the US and Israel now all of sudden want to talk to Putin.

However, I have a good supply of Pepsi Cola and a bunker.
Is Pepsi a good barter currency or just your favorite beverage?
Pepsi is all that is available here, and it is a good trannsacible device.
I guess the King likes Pepsi.

Assad leaving power will GUARANTEE the same results as Libia,Iraq,etc,etc the doors will open for full blown ISLAMONAZI Murderers.Just my ignorant $.02 worth, seems like our current leadership is HELPING ther radicals.
Not making everyone safer but just the opposite,never have I seen it this blatant, and obvious.
Yes, Europe will be overrun by over 100,000,000 invaders shortly. Probably 200,000,000. Basically they will keep coming as long as you keep giving them free stuff and a white quality of life they could NEVER attain otherwise.
I think it is hysterical that Russia is getting sucked into the craptank that is Syria. How many troops and for how long is Russia willing to commit? How is it losing for us if Russia does our heavy lifting with ISIS? About time someone did the job other than us. Assad not falling now isn't a problem, he is a hated (Alawite) minority in a majority Sunni country. After all this shit his shelflife isn't long no matter what Russia does.
Hoo-boy.
Can someone clue this guy in? I'm not patient enough for coma revivals.
ISIS can be defeated with one Battalion of Russians.
ISIS is CIA/Mossad
America wants to invade Syria.
America creates ISIS so that they can invade Syria without US public really knowing, this was the second atempt by America, remember the fake Assad gas attack where all the people died on TV?
Russia is calling the bluff of the US by offering to help wipe ISIS out of the picture.
I sincerely hope this makes sense as I think it's important to at least be aware of it.
"America creates ISIS so that they can invade Syria without US public really knowing". Of course that was the case.
Well clearly they have succeeded.
Do you have an alternative scenario?
The Saudis wanting to replace Russia as Europes number one energy supplier is what i'm seeing.
Russia is propping up Ngo Dinh Assad with its homeboys because the alternative is to watch the regime go down the drain swiftly.
Remember these classic words: We had to destroy the village in order to save it.They are about to acquire new potency and a Russian accent.
Your turn to play chess with Charlie, Ivan.
ISIS could have been defeated long ago had the US wanted it to be. The attack on Kobani was undertaken by a line of trucks, armoured vehicles and tanks half a mile long on an open road. It would have been a turkey shoot for the air force had the US wanted it to be. But they did not.
