This Is How Russia Handles Terrorists: Moscow Releases Video Of Syria Strikes
Now that Russia has officially begun conducting airstrikes on anti-regime forces operating in Syria, commentators, pundits, and analysts around the world will be keen to compare and contrast the results of Moscow’s efforts with the year-old US-led air campaign against ISIS targets in Syria and Iraq.
Clearly, Russia has a very real incentive to ensure that its airstrikes are effective.
Preserving the global balance of power means preserving the Assad regime and, by extension, ensuring that Iran maintains its regional influence.
On the other hand, the US and its regional allies actually have an incentive to ensure that their airstrikes are minimally effective. That is, for the US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, the idea is not to kill Frankenstein, but rather to ensure that he doesn’t escape the lab.
As we documented earlier today, Russia wasted no time launching strikes against anti-regime targets once the country's lawmakers gave the official go-ahead and the West wasted no time accusing Russia of breaking protocol by targeting "modetrate" Syrian rebels (like al-Qeada) that aren't aligned with ISIS.
It's against that backdrop that we present the following footage released by the Russain Ministry of Defense which depicts the opening salvo in The Kremlin's battle against terrorism in the Middle East (note the vehicle traveling towards the compound at a particularly inopportune time towards the end).
And predictably, Western media reports regarding civilian casualties and Russia's alleged targeting of "moderate" rebels (as opposed to ISIS) were countered by Moscow's sharp-tongued spokeswoman and US foreign policy critic extraordinaire Maria Zakharova.
Via RT:
Russia has struck eight Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) targets in Syria, the country’s Defense Ministry said, adding that "civilian infrastructure" was avoided during the operations.
“Today, Russian aerospace force jets delivered pinpoint strikes on eight ISIS terror group targets in Syria. In total, 20 flights were made,” spokesperson for the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov, said.
“As a result, arms and fuel depots and military equipment were hit. ISIS coordination centers in the mountains were totally destroyed,” he added.
Konashenkov said that all the flights took place after air surveillance and careful verification of the data provided by the Syrian military. He stressed that Russian jets did not target any civilian infrastructure and avoided these territories.
“Russian jets did not use weapons on civilian infrastructure or in its vicinity,” he said.
Reuters reported that Russia targeted opposition rebel groups in Homs province instead of Islamic State forces. The agency cited Syrian opposition chief Khaled Khoja, who put the death toll of the bombardment at 36 civilians.
"Russia is intending not to fight ISIL [Islamic State], but to prolong the life of [Syrian President Bashar] Assad," Khoja said.
Similar claims were made by the BBC, Fox News, Al Jazeera and numerous other news outlets.
Moscow harshly criticized the reports, labeling them an information war.
“Russia didn’t even begin its operation against Islamic State… Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov didn’t even utter his first words at the UN Security Council, but numerous reports already emerged in the media that civilians are dying as a result of the Russian operation and that it’s aimed at democratic forces in the country (Syria),” Maria Zakharova, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, told media.
“It’s all an information attack, a war, of which we’ve heard so many times,” she added.
Zakharova also said that she was amazed by the scale and speed of what she called “info injections” into social networks such as “photos of alleged victims” that appeared on the web as soon as the Russian operation began.
“What can I say? We all know perfectly how such pictures are made,” she said, remembering a Hollywood flick ‘Wag the Dog,’ which described the US media reporting on a fake war in Albania.
For those who missed it, see here for our assessment of the Western media's take on the first round of Russian airstrikes (and by the way we, like Maria, were surprised at how quickly the propaganda machine kicked into high gear). Here is the bottom line:
The bottom line going forward is that the US and its regional and European allies are going to have to decide whether they want to be on the right side of history here or not, and as we've been careful to explain, no one is arguing that Bashar al-Assad is the most benevolent leader in the history of statecraft but it has now gotten to the point where Western media outlets are describing al-Qaeda as "moderate" in a last ditch effort to explain away Washington's unwillingness to join Russia in stabilizing Syria. This is a foreign policy mistake of epic proportions on the part of the US and the sooner the West concedes that and moves to correct it by admitting that none of the groups the CIA, the Pentagon, and Washington's Mid-East allies have trained and supported represent a viable alternative to the Assad regime, the sooner Syria will cease to be the chessboard du jour for a global proxy war that's left hundreds of thousands of innocent people dead.

so now youre a self-proclaimed expert on Russian military equipment? lol
huh? Have a look at the video. All of the bombs used more or less missed their targets, no direct hits! i.e. they are using cheap-as-chips iron bombs (dumb-bombs) so they are missing, they are not even using cheapish LGBs here. So what is being shown, so far, is not a precision attack at all.
Compare it to western precision weapon attack footage, of the past 25 years. When western jets and weapons attack a target it is a direct hit pretty much every time, they almost never miss their targets. You don't see that in that video above. They are missing, and pretty badly.
It means the Russians are using their cheapest bombs. They are not employing much more expensive precision-guided bombs within those attacks at all, for if those were the Russian's version of 'precision-guided' attacks, well, they're absolutely bloody rubbish. But of course, they're not, they're just unguided dumb bombs.
Now you may not like it but I don't care how you feel about it and nor does reality. But that is iron bombing happening there, and it is the same thing US F-4s were doing over North Vietnam in 1967, and the exact same thing Assad's air force has been doing (and getting shot down doing it). The Russians are doing it at a higher altitude and that means they will keep missing - a lot! They are doing it that way because if they go in lower to get much improved accuracy, with iron bombs, they will start taking losses regularly too ... just like Assad's air force has been shot down doing that ... and just like US F-4s were shot down doing the very same thing.
So either they use much more expensive actually precision-guided bombs, from a safe altitude, or their aim is not going to improve, and they will keep missing their targets far more often than they will hit them.
Yeah think there using their old crap off, going to need the new sheet for what may become. But release a video showing how bad it hits, come on atleast uses a guided before u release a youtube video. How amateurish! I'm still laughing 24hours or more later.
was mad deleted
They may be terrorists, but they are our terrorists, so hands off Putin.
I was under the impression that there were only 4 or 5 US trained rebels left in existence. What are the chances they were the ones hit?
Incidently, didn't that US general say he wasn't aware of where' those rebel remnants were after their unscheduled ISIS sponsored strip search? Surprising that all of a sudden, they've reappeared just in time for another shanking.
"the idea is not to kill Frankenstein, but rather to ensure that he doesn’t escape the lab."
As we all well know eventually Dr Death and his "lab" of psychotic horrors will have to be obliterated (considering the other cages with their beasts in various stages of development). If USSANS like their beloved NAZI cousins before them aren't capable of removing the stench then obviously someone else will.
Onward to the end of the Golem monstrosity!
ISIS IS ISRAEL, ISIS is Israel Secret Intelligence Service, it is a covert Mossad Army, a proxy army of Israel and it's goal is to drive Muslims out of Greater Israel. But now Russia has landed Syria and conducted the first airstrikes against the enemies of Assad. This portends the end of the drive for GREATER ISRAEL WHICH ENCOMPASSES MUCH OF SYRIA.

All is well for those who make Money their ''god''
Today criminal putin regime continued to attack on Syrian civilians and their supported groups that stand against ISIS and assad regime. So once again criminal putin regime slaughtered Syrian population.
Russia 'launches air strikes again', targeting rebel alliance in Syria - live updates"According to Nabih Bulos, there are reports of additional strikes on Talbiseh. An opposition activist there just posted another picture of a missile strike.
The Syrian civil defence says on Twitter the strike on Talbiseh hit the bread distribution depot. which is also home of the local civilian council."
By attacking Syrian people - putin regime tries to get away russian attention from war in Ukraine where putin regime has failed at his plans. So what better way to hid one failed war by starting another war in Syria. Criminal regimes never chnage their behavior.
Criminal regimes never change their behavour.
This is very true and the USA is the biggest criminal of all.

How to spot Psychopaths: Writing Patterns Give them Away...
Every time we topple a dictator, we make things much worse due to the ensuing vacuum and what it brings about.
Instead of continuing toppling Middle East dictators, who do not bend to our will - maybe we ought to realize that we are living under our own dictatorship.
US DICTATORSHIP = FED, Wall Street (banksters), MIC, Intelligence branch, Mega-Corps, Big Pharma, etc.
In our case though, once we topple the dictatorship we have a shot at something resembling democracy and something closer to a free market economy.
How Psychopaths operate and how to deal with them:
As humans, we need to confront this threat and DEAL with it.
We need to remember that cooperating with evil, on ANY level, is a MISTAKE and it will ultimately come back to bite you.
So why we spend so much ink and time to explain how to American (Predatory) Capitalism works?!
When relationship with reptilian host is killing us…

Inside the Mind of a ZEROHEDGE Psychopath.
{ http://bit.ly/1MgUyTk } Defense against the Psychopath full length version -------------------Humanity is in trouble!...----------------“Psychopaths are unable to form emotional attachments or feel real empathy with others, although they often have disarming or even charming personalities. Psychopaths are very manipulative and can easily gain people’s trust. They learn to mimic emotions, despite their inability to actually feel them, and will appear normal to unsuspecting people... When committing crimes, psychopaths carefully plan out every detail in advance and often have contingency plans in place. Unlike their sociopathic counterparts, psychopathic criminals are cool, calm, and meticulous.” - Psychology Today
I used to know a sociopath. He was all that, but he couldn't think himself into another person's thought processes except on a superficial level. He would piss off everyone around him because of that. Imagine someone not understanding that being rude or abrasive to another person might result in concequences and ill feeling that would last beyond that instant. He thought that he could protect himself by being the worst brown-noser imaginable to the top managers, but being what he was, did not understand that all his brown-nosing was wasted on the individuals receiving it.
You can spot a sociopath by how they react to being denied something eg -
Normal people
Them - Polite request
You - Polite refusal
Them - Polite exceptance of refusal.
Sociopaths
Them - Polite request
You - Polite refusal
Them - Rage, insults etc
They can go from super polite (they want something from you) to rage (denied) to super polite again in the same conversation because they don't realise that there are consequences to their rage. They only have a superficial understanding of how other people think.
HOT OFF THE MSM !!!
Russkis are killing our "moderate" terrorists sponsored by CIA.
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/russia-pouring-gasoline-on-the-fire-in-...
There is no such thing as a ''moderate'' terrorist.
Go Russia, kill them all and also hunt down ''message'' and kill that son of a bitch also. But save his body, I want to take a crap into his mouth,
Apparently, their bombers can't hit anything.

The idiot American govt is now admitting they support terrorism.
Assad was voted in by the people and over 50 percent support Assad.
And yet the USA govt would rather have terrrorists run the govt like in Libya.

Good luck to us, Humans!
When the Luftwaffe starts bombing Berlin and Dortmund to keep the Jihadis down no doubt the US and UK press will bemoan the fate of the 290,000 strong army that entered the country in September 2015
Didn't anyone notice that they didn't hit anything?

The evil Zionists are losing their deranged plan for a NWO. The really good news? The Reptillians, who literally own the Zionists, will eat every last one of the scumbags for failing!

I'm curious.
Post-9/11 premise: Anyone who provides support in any way to The Terrorists is our enemy. We've spent trillions and killed millions of people based on this premise.
Who are the "moderate rebels": al Qaeda (AQ) according to WSJ. AQ are unquestionably terrorists. So, the neocons, with Obama at the helm, are providing aid and support to known terrorist groups. According to US documents leaked to WikiLeaks, this is so our new AQ allies can fight Assad's regime AND ISIL at the same time.
Is this m/l correct?
Fact is the USA is responsible for over 200,000 deaths in Syria with their support of terrorists who want to overthrow the elected President of Syria.
Imagine a bunch of terrorists in the USA trying to overthrow Washington.
What would the USA govt do?

I see the mainstream media is all over Russia for bombing the wrong guys.
It's ironic that when the west bombs countries back to the stone age and conduct drone strikes it's called are fighting terrorism.
The west are hypocrites of the highest order!

ooooooooooow, just so intimidating ain't it. Shock and awe type shit. That worked well for the US, huh.
Yes it did. of course, the USA should have been supporting Saddam who was secular and HATED terrorists and islamists.
Instead they killed Saddam and installed islamists in power in Iraq.

I see the pressure is already starting to get to you. Stop stuttering. heh
No question the US loses wars not because they don't have the military might to win. The problem is politicians have more of a will to ameliorate war activists at home than to win a war. For this reason, we should not enter into war with any other country in the future. Either go for the win or stay home.
All we need is an iron fisted President because the Congress already given all the war powers to the BushCo regime and all future regimes. The next President has all the fixin's to, "make a statement." Woe be to everybody. I believe the next President will show you why Obama got a Nobel peace prize. Seriously.
