Kremlin Calls For "Action" After Russian Embassy In Syria Hit By Mortar Fire

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Sunday we highlighted comments from Secretary of State John Kerry which seemed to indicate that Washington’s strategy is Syria may have officially unraveled. Speaking in London on Saturday, Kerry said the following: 

"For the last year and a half we have said Assad has to go, but how long and what the modality is ...that's a decision that has to be made in the context of the Geneva process and negotiation. It doesn't have to be on day one or month one ... there is a process by which all the parties have to come together and reach an understanding of how this can best be achieved." 

That, we said, “might fairly be described as the most conciliatory language yet,” as it relates to Washington’s vision for Syria’s political future.

We also noted that it now appears as though Russia and Iran will end up determining Assad’s fate which, if you know anything about Tehran’s relationship with Assad and about regional powerbrokers, should not come as a surprise. Indeed, the surprise is that the US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar ever thought the effort to oust Assad had any chance of going smoothly in the first place. 

On Monday, the Syria news flow continues unabated.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made his planned trip to Moscow to discuss how Russian and Israeli forces can avoid an “accidental” confrontation in the skies above Syria. That’s the headline anyway. Of course Netanyahu’s primary concern here is that sophisticated Russian weaponry will find its way into the hands of Hezbollah. Here’s Reuters

A rapid Russian build-up in Syria, which regional sources have said includes warplanes and anti-aircraft systems, worries Israel, whose jets have on occasion bombed the neighboring Arab country to foil suspected handovers of advanced arms to Assad's Lebanese guerrilla allies Hezbollah.

 


 

Israel is also concerned that top-of-the-line Russian military hardware now being deployed could benefit Hezbollah and one day be turned against the Jewish state.

 

"Our policy is to do everything to stop weapons from being sent to Hezbollah," Netanyahu said.

Note that this is not some far-fetched scenario. In fact, it’s more likely than not that arms will ultimately be funneled to Hezbollah if not directly by the Russians or Assad, then almost certainly by the Quds Force whose presence in Syria is seen as a “rumor” in the mainstream media even as it's so well known in regional intelligence circles as to be considered par for the proverbial course. And make no mistake, Netanyahu is also well aware of the fact that Tehran is effectively angling to make Russia a de facto member of its existing axis of power that includes Syria and Lebanon and will ultimately include Iraq given Iran’s control of the Shiite militias and heavy influence in Baghdad political circles:

The Netanyahu ex-adviser said Israel worried that Russia's reinforcement of Assad in the conflict, now in its fifth year, could effectively create an axis between its long-standing enemies, Hezbollah and Iran, and Moscow.

And speaking of Russian arms, here's what US officials have confirmed is in Syria as of now: 28 combat aircraft including 12 Su-25s, 12 Su-24s & 4 Flankers (Su-27s or Su-30s), up to 20 helicopters split of Mi-24 Hind attack & Mi-15 Hip transport copters, and up to 9 tanks.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon also says Russia has begun drone flights (via Reuters):

Russia has started flying drone aircraft on surveillance missions in Syria, two U.S. officials said on Monday, in what appeared to be Moscow's first military air operations inside the country since staging a rapid buildup at a Syrian air base.

Finally, with all of the above in mind, we close with the following rather ominous bit from Tass and a tweet from AFP which seems to portend imminent escalation:

The Russian embassy in Damascus has come under mortar fire, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday.

The ministry said Moscow condemns the "criminal attack" on the Russian diplomatic mission.

 

"At 09:00 a.m. on September 20, a mortar shell hit the territory of the Russian embassy in Damascus. The shell was driven deep into the earth and made no damage," the ministry said. "We condemn the criminal attack on the Russian diplomatic representation in Damascus."

Bet the  USSA is sending their ISIS terrorists to scare off the Russians.

Good luck with that.

 

Also the ISIS minions tried to attack a russian air force base.  According to the article below, they had: 

The agency also notes that the ambushed militants had a detailed plan of the air base and clear satellite images marked with key military installations.

Not bad for a ragged group of goat fuckers, except where did they get the satellite feed?

I'm not sure how this is interpreted on this site as some brilliant act by Putin.  It's been less than a month and the Russian embassy is being bombed.  In another month there will be retribution strikes in Russia, ISIS videos of russian soldiers being beheaded, and eventually a public reaction to being involved in wars in Syria and Ukraine while the economy shrinks 5% a year.

No telling what Nettanyahu and Putin really talked about, but you can get the gist of how this was going by the pre-meeting PR and official statements afterwards:

From DefenseNews:

“We know that the Syrian Army is in a situation where it is unable to open a new front. Our main purpose is to defend the Syrian state,” Putin told Netanyahu prior to heading into extensive talks on implications of the Russian buildup at Israel’s north.

 

Putin: you got your wish and mostly destroyed Syria - just like you did in Lebanon. Time to back the fuck off, Bibi. We ain't playin' here.

According to a transcript released by Netanyahu’s office, Putin said he understood the Israeli leader's concerns and was “very happy you came to discuss every issue in detail.”

Putin: You're trip was a waste of time, you terrorist-supporting psychopath. Go back home and patch up some more al Nusra in your Golan hospitals and send 'em back - our troops need the target practice.

In his opening remarks, Netanyahu — accompanied by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff and head of Israeli military intelligence — expressed concern that Iran and Syria are arming Lebanese-based Hezbollah with the purpose of opening a new front against Israel from the Syrian side of the Golan Heights...

“As you know, in recent years, and especially in the past months, Iran and Syria are arming an extreme Islamic terror organization, Hezbollah, with advanced weaponry,” Netanyahu said.

Putin: New front? They've been kicking your ass in the Golan for decades. And they get all the advanced weapons they need off the dead U.S.-supplied ISIS and al Nusra fucks you send over. Maybe you and your coalition pals should stop supplying them with advanced weaponry, then Hezbollah would have nothing to strip of their corpses? Hezbollah has warehouses of TOW-2As. Maybe you should complain to your little bitches in the U.S. congress, not Russia.

He reiterated Israel’s policy of responding to attacks emanating from Syrian soil and preventing transfers of advanced weapons from reaching the hands of Lebanese Shiite forces fighting alongside Iran in support of the Moscow-backed Assad regime.

Netanyahu: We like to be able to violate Syrian airspace with impunity to attack filthy Iranian-backed Shiites and your ally, Syria.

Hezbollah, Netanyahu noted, “has already fired upon us over the years thousands of missiles and rockets against our cities.”

Putin: HEY, asshole... I'm not a stupid American. Don't cry to me about non-existent missile attacks. 

As for Iran, an increasingly close ally of Moscow that trains, funds and equips Hezbollah as a forward front against Israel, Netanyahu said the Islamic Republic, “under the protection of the Syrian Army, is trying to build a second terror front against us in the Golan.”

“Our policy is to thwart transfers of these weapons and to prevent creation of a terror front against us from the Golan territory,” he said.

Putin: What a f'king coincidence. We're trying to help our ally Syria fight a terror front operating from the Golan territory. Know anything about it, bitch?

Putin, according to the Israeli readout of opening remarks, condemned shelling and mortar attacks on Israel from Syrian soil, which he said were carried out by “home networks.” That term, when translated from Russia, distinguishes homemade weaponry from industrial grade weaponry.

Putin: You're being attacked by sugar-motor homemade rockets, crybaby. 

The Russian leader told his guest, “Every action of Russia in the region has always been very responsible.”

Putin: We've been tolerant until now. Stay the fuck out of Syrian airspace or Russia might be forced to act less-than-responsibly. 

He highlighted the many emigrants from the former Soviet Union now living in Israel as having “special significance” on the bilateral relationship.

Putin: Thanks for taking our trash, but we'll still smoke your ass if you piss us off.

And this from NBCNews:

A U.S. official told Reuters that U.S.-Israeli coordination allowed the allies to share classified technologies for identifying Russian aircraft over Syria: "We know how to spot them clearly and quickly," the official said.

Netanyahu: We'll try to be careful and not accidentally shoot down any Russian jets, but accidents will happen.

Putin: That would be the last 'accident' your shitty little country ever makes, Bibi. Here's the deal: We will automatically blow away any aircraft from any nation violating Syrian airspace, so don't send any of yours over. Ever. And you'll never know if a Syrian aircraft is actually Syrian or Russian, so don't fire on any in Syrian airspace ever again. Down a Russian drone or aircraft or kill a Russian pilot, and the least of your worries will be Hezbollah and a few sugar rockets. I think we're through here - security will show you out.

If Russia prevents foreign supply planes from invading Syria, ISIS will soon find itself without weapons, food, water and money.  I wouldn't be surprised if after a severe beating, Russia/Iran turn ISIS into changing sides.

I'd love it if ISIS turned on their Saudi/Quatari masters.  Beheading is too good for those cock suckers.

Anyone know if they were using supply planes?  I know the scum were air dropping ammo, food and things like TOWs.  Russia and Syria need to shut that shit off.  They also need something like a satilite/AWACS/ground sensor type of thing for any trucks and terrorists coming in from Turkey or other countries.

Didn't that fat dwarf king from Jordan come go to Moscow?  I hope Putin told that little shit that there is a new sheriff in town named Putin.

Huge respect for the Syrians, Assad, Russians, Putin, the Syrian people, Hezbollah who protected all Syrians including Syrian christians and also the NovoRussian and Crimean people.  

I really hope the Iraqis and Libyans can have some peace and sanity in the near future. 

Sadly, these evil z-State Dept animals continue to destroy America.  Congress does nothing.

The ancient Jewish hero David, "son of Jesse the Bethlehemite," is a "curiously elusive figure" (Oxford Companion to the Bible). In turns shepherd, giant killer, court musician, poet, warlord and king, nothing and no one outside the Bible notes his existence.

If a historical 'Dawid' inspired tales of a legendary king, the original was an inconsequential bandit chieftain in the Judaean hills, nothing more. Possibly the only element of truth in the biblical story is the episode of David as renegade and outlaw leader, living from theft.

For someone who only existed as a bandit, he sure wrote some lovely Psalms. But of course, those don't count because they come from scripture, and if we through out all the sources that contradict your theories, why then, there is no evidence to contradict your theories!

 

1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, 
thou understandest my thought afar off. 
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, 
and art acquainted with all my ways. 
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, 
but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, 
and laid thine hand upon me. 
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; 
it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? 
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: 
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there
9 If I take the wings of the morning, 
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, 
and thy right hand shall hold me. 
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; 
even the night shall be light about me. 
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; 
but the night shineth as the day: 
the darkness and the light are both alike to thee
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: 
thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 
marvellous are thy works; 
and that my soul knoweth right well. 
15 My substance was not hid from thee, 
when I was made in secret, 
and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; 
and in thy book all my members were written, 
which in continuance were fashioned, 
when as yet there was none of them. 
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! 
How great is the sum of them! 
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: 
when I awake, I am still with thee. 
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: 
depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, 
and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? 
And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: 
I count them mine enemies. 
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: 
try me, and know my thoughts: 
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, 
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Don't forget that we are likewise told "Thou sendeth forth thy spirit, they are created: and Thou renewest the face of the Earth."

Note the very precise terminology; "Thou renewest"

Why oh why would the term to renew be employed as opposed to created as from scratch?
Ah, the destruction and rebirth.  It has happened before, not only as told by myth and lore as well as via the great spiritual and religious books (The flood, etc.) but confirmed by science, archaeology and out of place objects, etc.
Mayhaps the story of Gog and Megog, of the Middle East and global destruction is not all that far fetched, eh?

Correct again Latina! ISIS moved fast to attempt to force Russia to reconsider it's aid for Syria. It is now all but certain the Saudi Intelligence runs ISIS, and that the CIA and Saudi Intelligence act as all but One Unit. ISIS thrives even though the US Media says ISIS threatens the USA, and the US Military claims attacking ISIS is their main goal. YET, ISIS makes massive troop movements in broad daylight, they operate in the open against Syria Army forces, and no US Air Strike occur. Instead, ISIS is attacked only when trhe bombing can damage important Syrian economic assets, like bridges, road junctions, pipeline. Under cover of attacking ISIS, the USA really is degrading the Syrian State as far as possible without giving the game away.

The Western Media is fully onboard the Lie Machine. Telling lies about US actions in Syria. The West has nurtured ISIS via Saudi Arabia, most of the Antri Assad forces trained by the USA went over 'en mass to ISIS, and now form the core military element of ISIS. In Iraq, US Arms Warehouses left for Iraq have been looted by ISIS, giving ISIS a military capability of a very high order, including Main Battle Tanks and IFV's.

Syria's attacks against Al Qaeda over the weekend. In one day they conducted more sorties than Obama did in an entire week against the headloppers. And I also agree with your mentioning that American "attacks" against ISIS are for damaging gov't infrastructure.

Brilliant article. Russia is providing advanced HEAVY weapons, and somehow there is a threat for hezbollah to get their hands on advanced air to ground missiles and advanced heavy weapons. For their planes I guess? The planes that don't exist. Russia has provided apparently advanced MLRS systems, which are almost as useless for hezbollah in a war than air to ground missiles to use with their non existant planes since they would be sitting ducks for the israeli airforce. Then there is anti aircraft batteries, which again are fucking useless for hezbollah.

I'll ask again to cut the fucking bullshit parroting. If you're going to post western media horseshit, as I've said before, at least call it what it is. You're part of the problem here.

They can perform any "diplomatic warnings" they want, but this will not stop Russia. Their fatal and stupid mistake was meddling in Ukraine. Until that time, Russia was still quite a good, passive bear with the opinion: "Dear USA (and Israel), if you stay out of our matters (in Ukraine, Belarus etc.), we will stay out of yours (we will not give S-300 to Iran etc.). By meddling in Ukraine, sanctions and even killing Russian-speaking people, the USA (Israel) declared an outright war against Russia. So what do they now expect? They started the war, they will have to fight it till the end. Russians will certainly not give up. 

Also before Ukraine, it was unlikely that Russians would allow Putin to engage in wars in the Middle East (or to deteriorate relations with the West). Contrary to the Western propaganda, Putin is an elected leader and he must be in harmony with the majority of the population, in order to stay in power. And Russians really wanted to belong and to be part of the West, so he had to act accordingly. But the Ukraine matter changed all that and now Russians are so furious that they are prepared for anything (even a direct war with the USA!).

I talked with some Russians and although they are a bit uneasy about Syria, most of them accept Putin's decision. "Somebody has to stop the bloody USA terrorists there. And yes, unfortunately, we are aware that Russian blood may flow because of that. But this is nothing new for us. How many times in history Russian blood had to flow to save the world from some fanatics, who wanted to rule the entire world? Nothing new for us. It seems to be our destiny." So, after Ukraine, no amount of false flags and warnings will change the minds of Russians. In their view, the dice were cast on the Maidan in Kiev in 2013.

With a single bungled coup in the Ukraine, the Nudelman and stooges managed to destroy the liberal opposition in russia, lose crimea and donbass, unite the russian people behind Putin, give Russia 2.5 million new citizens who share the same race, religion, ethnic and language background, and revive russian agriculture.

The CSTO arrives in Iraq and Syria
by Thierry Meyssan

The intervention of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) against terrorism in Iraq and Syria may be the beginning of a world order based on the cooperation and defence of civilian populations, or, on the contrary, a period of East-West confrontation in which the West openly supports terrorism. Contrary to popular belief, this military deployment is aimed less at defending Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic than the members of the CSTO themselves. It is therefore not negotiable. The debates in the UNO General Assembly and Security Council on the 30th September will reveal the response of Washinton and its allies. In any case, nothing will ever be the same.

Hezbollah using Russian made Anti-Tank guided missiles turned back two Isreali tank assaults in two seperate battles. The first assault was turned back after Israeli's invulnerable tanks burned when hit by Kornet ATGM's. The second latter Tank attack met the same fate. An Israeli super Special Forces commando unit attempted to take a village by storm, the defending Hezbollah fighters ambushed the commandos of Israel, pinned them down with heavy casualties, one IDF soldier called it "the ambush from hell". Forced to leave dead and dying soldiers out in the open for a full day, only after nightfall could Israels top commando unit take wounded and withdraw to safety.

In this short war. Israel's tank forces failed, and the elite Israel commando units failed. Israel's air superiority also failed to defeat the Hezbollah troops who used tactics right from the Russian military handbook on how to operate under enemy air superiority.

This was a shock to all of Israel. Their three trump cards all failed.

I know something about Hezbollah.

They are allied with Syria and Iran (and tacitly with Russia - Bogdanovich), and they are scaring the daylights out of Israel.

They gave Israel a very bloody nose 2006.

After that, Israel decided that the only way of maybe, maybe, defeating Hezbollah, will be to first weaken it through Zionist Jihadi ISIS Al Qaeda FSA mercenaries, and then when Hezbollah is weakened enough for Israel to try to shoot fish in a barrel (that is the only time they will fight, against a defensless opponent), they will the pretext of their own (and Washington's mercenaries) to grab more land and install more puppets.

Hezbollah is an idea, and a very powerful one serving its objectives.

The more Israel resists it, the more it grows, in influence and power.

Yeah.... hard to say. I certainly wouldn't put it past Vlad to bomb his own embassy to increase his moral high ground vibe.

I think a Mossad / CIA operation is more likely.

Does Putin strike you as the kind of guy that kills the people who work for him? That's the United STates of America that does that.

MMMMMMM Popcorn for breakfast.

The propaganda fog is going to be so thick over this one, but I wish we had a true visual of what is going on. There is no way the US, Qatar and the Saudis don't pull some shit. Especially the Qataris, who will pretty much finance anything to push Assad out.

Tanks, planes and automobiles - BOOM!

The only news I see out of Syria with interviews from Assad or his military or on the Ground there is on RT.  I know that RT is slanted but I haven't seen any other source.

The Saker is slanted too. Slanted towards telling you what happened and what they think about it. Just be careful!

Russia has not gone into Syria.

There has been no massing of troops or aircraft.

Russia has not fire a shot.
