Russia Says Syria Air Raids To Last "3-4 Months" As Moscow Releases New Videos Of Strikes
Russian warplanes bombed anti-regime targets in Syria for a third day on Friday, and as we outlined in detail earlier, both the West and Russian media have launched an all-out propaganda blitz in an effort to spin the narrative.
For their part, the US and its allies are clinging to the notion that they are shocked - shocked - that Russia is striking targets unrelated to ISIS. This, apparently, is a direct violation of the unspoken Western policy of allowing any extremists not called “ISIS” to continue to operate on the way to ousting Assad. Of course the US and its regional allies are also fine with ISIS continuing to operate, although because “establish medieval caliphate” probably wasn’t on the list of CIA-approved operational objectives, Washington has to conduct a bombing run or two every once and a while to ensure Frankenstein doesn’t escape the lab.
As for The Kremlin, the fact that the West has managed to create any number of extremists groups on the way to destabilizing the regime in Syria means that rescuing said regime can be pitched as a “war on terror” rather than what it actually is, which is a Mid-East power grab. That is, the narrative for Russia is that when no one else could get the job done, Vladimir Putin entered the phone booth, changed into his Superman outfit, and saved the world from the Sunni extremists who threatened to destroy it. Of course that narrative isn’t entirely accurate either, but as we discussed earlier today, it’s at least closer to the truth than the West’s story. Here’s Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov summing it up: "If it looks like a terrorist, if it acts like a terrorist, if it walks like a terrorist, if it fights like a terrorist, it's a terrorist, right?"
Right.
But don’t tell anyone in Washington that.
In any event, Russia now says its bombing runs in Syria are set to last “three to four months” which is amusing because that basically means that Moscow figures it will take about 100 days to eradicate not only ISIS, but every single armed group battling Assad. Contrast that with the US-led effort to “degrade and destroy” ISIS that has been going on for more than a year with little in the way of concrete results. Here’s Reuters:
Russia estimates its air strike campaign in Syria could last three to four months, the head of the lower house of the Russian parliament's foreign affairs committee said on Friday.
"There is always a risk of being bogged down but in Moscow, we are talking about an operation of three to four months," Alexei Pushkov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, told French radio station Europe 1. He added that the strikes were going to intensify.
Pushkov was speaking a few hours before Putin was due to meet leaders of France, Germany and Ukraine in Paris for talks about Ukraine which were likely to be overshadowed by the conflict in Syria.
Pushkov said the strikes mainly targeted Islamic State forces in spite of reports they had concentrated on opponents to Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
"The opponents to Bashar are very close to Daesh (Islamic State)," Pushkov said. U.S. sources have said the Russians actually hit facilities of a U.S.-backed group, some of whose rebels received training and support from the CIA.
Pushkov said the U.S.-led coalition had "pretended" to bomb Islamic State forces for a year.
"They pretended... Only 20 percent of their (U.S. led coalition) operations produced results, 80 percent of them did not lead to bombardments, they returned to base for different reasons," Pushkov said.
But make no mistake, there is no “pretending” going on with The Kremlin's strikes. Here are the latest videos from the Russian MoD:
Here's more on the bombing runs that the US swears aren't targeting ISIS (via WSJ):
Russian warplanes made their first incursion into Islamic State’s home base, as Moscow continued a bombardment of Syria that one official said Friday could last for months.
Russian aircraft flew 18 sorties in the last 24 hours, attacking 12 Islamic State positions, Russia’s defense ministry said, and destroying command posts, a communication hub and a weapons store.
Twelve Islamic State fighters, including two commanders, one from Tunisia and the other from Iraq, were killed near the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition-backed monitoring group.
Russian aircraft destroyed an Islamic State command post and communications hub in Aleppo province—where rebel groups, the Syrian government and Islamic State all have a strong presence—and hit a field camp in Idlib province, a majority of which is rebel-held, according the Defense Ministry.
Russian strikes also hit and destroyed a concealed command post in a district to the southwest of Raqqa, the ministry said.
And as we have said from the beginning, between Russian airstrikes and the increased presence of Iranian ground troops, the various Western-backed rebel groups' hopes of overthrowing Assad and taking Damascus have effectively been dashed up to and until the US decides it's prepared to engage Russia directly. Here's Reuters again:
Already out-gunned and out-manned in Syria’s civil war, U.S.-backed rebels are facing a new and possibly even more serious threat to their survival: Russian air strikes that Washington appears reluctant to thwart.
The Obama administration – blindsided by the speed of Moscow’s direct intervention and a Russian target list that included CIA-trained fighters – made clear on Thursday that the it had no desire to increase the risk of an air clash between the former Cold War foes.
While Washington took pains to insist it still considered the "moderate" opposition vital to Syria’s future and was not abandoning them, withholding U.S. air cover could further jeopardise beleaguered rebel forces.
Obama does have the power to expand the arming of moderate rebels so they can better defend themselves or to set up no-fly zones, as some critics at home have demanded, but U.S. officials note that such measures would carry their own risks of escalating Washington's involvement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be betting that Obama, wary of seeing the United States pulled into another Middle East war, would be unlikely to respond aggressively.
“Mr. Putin reads the Obama administration well,” wrote Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East adviser to Democratic and Republican administrations. “He knows that President Barack Obama never wanted to militarize the U.S. role in Syria.”
Of course if the US is unwilling to draw a line, then this "conflict" is over before it started. The memory of the Soviet-Afghan war is still fresh in Moscow's mind and The Kremlin has likely learned from its mistakes. Moreover, Russia benefits from Iranian ground support. Thanks to Moscow's implicit stamp of superpower approval, Tehran (and indirectly Hezbollah) can now play a more visible role in the conflict without worrying about the impact it will have on the optics surrounding the P5+1 deal.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but there are really only two possible outcomes here, i) the US, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and London step up to the plate and finish what they started, or ii) the entire balance of power in the Mid-East is about to shift in a matter of months.
We know who our money is on. Place your bets...

"OUCH!" they both yell.
Almost like they're bragging.
That's all very well, but have they managed to do serious damage to ISIS? You know, something comparable to thhe magnificent US strike against two excavators.

When Sergei Lavrov said: "If it looks like a terrorist, if it acts like a terrorist, if it walks like a terrorist, if it fights like a terrorist, it's a terrorist, right?"
Which national leader was he referring to?
@ The "DONALD" & VLAD... ISIS' Dayz Numbererd...
I must be missing something.....where is the audio of the 47 times they have to request permission, provide 10 clear verbal confirmations that this target is a 'bad guy', provide 15 confirmations that there is no risk of colateral damage, etc....certainly Putin also requires that of his pilots.
Maybe the Russians decided that as those procedures didn't seem to stop loads of civilians getting killed, they weren't going to bother.
PS - I know we're all Russophiliacs here now, but aren't Russian cameras shit?

@ VLAD The Impailer (of ISIS)...
It’s a good thing there were no munitions stored in those facilities or else the blasts would have been huge.
Oh, wait a minute.. oh, boy, look at that!
I wonder if they were US munitions?
WSJ: “... said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition-backed monitoring group.”

Funniest thing I have seen all day. Thanks for the link.......
Of course they were US munitions...whther they were obtained via the US, Libya, Qatar, Israel, or Saudi Arabia, they were US munitions. Now I guess the US munitons manufacturers will just have to sell them more....
The Russians have no word for "ouch".
It's more of an "I'm bored" stare, and a slight tilt of the mouth.

Why set a date/time range? Now they'll just dig in and wait for them to withdraw...
So, Obama = Gog, Putin = Magog, or vice versa?
My guess is that they can claim to withdraw acording to this timeline if it's get too complicated on the ground (Instead of having to admit failure)
They won't dig in with Syrian, Hezbollah and Iranian troops following the air strike. If they do, they'll soon be popped out.

This isn't the Afghan war the Russians were involved with in the 80s. They have legitimate government backing. I suspect they are getting target objectives (including "hidden" command posts) from locals who want to see the vermin annihilated.
Something really crazy is bound to happen before too long. As if this shit isn't crazy enough.
The difference between a man and a boy is that a man knows when to cut his losses and change his objectives. A wise man/bankster will figure out how to monetize and collateralize his losses towards achieving his other objectives.
Syria is now a fool's errand, and instead doubling down on stupid, all Obozo would have to do is load his teleprompter with something about how he was "shocked... shocked! to discover that the Clinton State Department in coordination with certain other government agencies has created ISIS in the first place..." Hang the witch, clear a path for crazy Joe, and focus on economic warfare and the other destabilization efforts towards Russia as well as moar multilateral Syrian sanctions, while appearing to be magnanimous, cooperative, and coordinating... all the while letting Russia pick up the tab for cleaning up Barry's mess.

Threat of wider war mounts as Russia continues airstrikes in Syria
By Barry Grey2 October 2015
A second day of Russian airstrikes in Syria against Islamist anti-government forces heightened the danger of Washington’s four-and-a-half-year war for regime-change triggering a clash between the world’s two biggest nuclear powers.
With Moscow’s move, aimed at frustrating the US-led drive to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Russia’s sole Arab ally in the Middle East and host to its only naval port outside the former Soviet Union, three of the world’s most powerful militaries are now carrying out uncoordinated combat missions within the country’s restricted borders: the US, France and Russia. Britain is preparing to enter the fray in the coming weeks.
Russian officials announced early Thursday that Russian planes had struck targets in the northwestern Syrian provinces of Homs, Hama and Idlib, following strikes in the same general area on Wednesday. Russia modified its earlier claim to be exclusively bombing Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) forces, adding al-Nusra, the Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria, to its list of terrorist targets. At the same time, Moscow denied US allegations that it had attacked the Free Syrian Army, a so-called “rebel” force that is openly described by the US media and American officials as “CIA trained and funded.”
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/10/02/syri-o02.html
No no no.
One of those pedo creeps Petreaus, McCain, Obola or Kerry-Kohn said we will be at war with ISIS (fictional CIA army in white pickups) for 100 years.
really??? France is counted amongst the 3 most powerful millitaries???
I remember watching with amazement how accurate the missiles where during the first gulf war as they hit their targets. It seems a bit surreal watching the Russians use this technology today. The whole world has been flipped on it's head over the last few years.
The special forces on the ground covertly tagging and lasing the targets may have something to do with that accuracy.
Yeah, the Russians can usually catch up if you give them 25 years or so.
Says the American who is way behind in implemently tech to the masses/
We had HDTV long before America. Wide screen in 1998. 3 G /4 g 4 years sooner.

How's the price of gas and diesel over there in paradise?
market price.Not subsidised as in the USA.
gas and diesel are old tech ... wind and solar farms are newer
wind and solar farms are newer and more expensive.

25 years?! LOL.
Russian needed only 25 minutes to turn all of America into a lifeless lunar surface.
The US did catch up after the Russians went to space.
and quickly, as they managed to land astronauts in a studio in a span of 11 years.

Is it to much to ask for a missel to hit the servers in Nj
Joke , look at all buyers buying the ..'markets"
Remember when one country bombing another caused the "markets" to go down in value?
If Putin can have this wrapped up in 3-4 months it would prove conclusively this guy is more than just a good political chess player. In any case I think he's learned from Ukraine- just go in and do it with your own military. This penny-ante "proxy war" bullshit drags on half of fucking forever.
DC spin: the Russians have no staying power.
Wishful thinking of desperate fools.
--
Didn'tt they say the same about Afghanistan? That really worked well no...
Remind me again just who is still in Afghanistan 14 years later.
Opium takes time to grow.
In Afghanistan, the Soviet Union fought against the whole world led by America. Nobody, not even one country did not help the USSR in Afghanistan. US delivers its MANPADS, as well as antitank weapons, the Afghan Taliban, is not it? Yes, the Soviet Union lost the war against all the world in Afghanistan.
But now consider the defeat of the US Army and NATO in Afghanistan.
All NATO countries and the whole world helped the United States in the war against the people of Afghanistan.
Nobody, not even one country did not prevent the US Army in Afghanistan. Russia does not supply its antitank weapons and MANPADS against tanks Abrams and US military aircraft, is not it?
And the United States lost the war in Afghanistan.
This is called "Feel the difference".
Think of what he did to the terrorists in Chechnya....that will give you an idea of how brutal Putin can be when necessary. The man knows how to fight terrorists - always push and never give mercy.
How does this all affect Kerry's chances of getting a Nobel Peace Prize? I hate to say it, but I have him as the front-runner, based on his absolute lack of skills as a negotiator alone.
So now when Vlado will run out of money to look macho via bombing - 3 to 4 months!

WHOA!! Did Russia just cross that line Obamy drew in the sand???
Yes. They decided it is their beach after all.
Actually, they stepped behind Obama and drew their own line.
Take no prisoners, carpet bomb them to hell.
America losing a war they never actually fought. If we're not careful, Putin could end up being our next president. Hey - can 1 guy actually be president in 2 countries at once?!?
why not?
What a dream!
I think Vlad would be content with getting Alaska back and stop at that.
American Generals say ''it would take 30 years of milking the US taxpayer'
Russia has mountains of cold war surplus bomb ammo, and GPS retro fit kits are about $100. "Out the door"
Mass accurate murder is getting way cheap.
The global bomb supply is way bigger than asshole supply.
You seriously believe a dumb iron bomb can be retrofitted to a steerable smart bomb for $100? In the military you can't buy a hammer for $100.
Yeah, I have to guess anything that cheap ain't gonna be able to do anything about all that bomb weight.
But I'm guessing also that if the Ruskies use up their own supply of modern bombs, China will have a few they kin borrow.
You confuse actual cost with bullshit MIC prices that the US taxpayer is charged.
Maybe Russia does not have that same problem.
Fucking amateurs.
For a paltry $45k, I can tell you the exact cost....in 3 months.
I can pretty much guarantee the results will say.....we need another $45k and 3 more months : )

"the US and its allies are clinging to the notion that they are shocked - shocked - that Russia is striking targets unrelated to ISIS"
Meanwhile, the U.S. rulers continue to greenlight the Turkish government bombing the hell out of Kurdish villages. The Kurds are the most effective fighters against ISIS on the ground.
Clearly John Kerry needs to post "No Airstrike Zone" signs in Sryia.
If the US and its allies are shocked by Russia bombing non ISIS targets then why have they said nothing about Saudi Arabia bombing a wedding party in Yemen and slaughtering 130 guests? are non ISIS targets somehow more shocking than innocent civilians going to a wedding?If so how?
Stupid to give a timetable. They'll last as long as they need to last.
The Iranians aren't going anywhere.
tick tock you fool.
The fucking idiot American govt stepped in shit.
Admitting that they support terrorism on eye doctors married to blonde British wife and who believes in fighting terrorits who are trying to take over his country.
If a foreign funded terrorist brigade would try to take over US govt what do you think the response would be?? Hugs and Kisses??
Russia says hello to the jihadists, and sends them love from all decent people throughout the world, even if most Americans still don't get it. Eventually, I hope they too, will wake up and understand what their leaders have done and are doing in the name of freedom. Then perhaps hope will become real and not a dream.

Where are the women and children? These all look like men of fighting age. They stay where they and fight. Oh wait - they are!
That was pretty stupid to show that video.
Now the Russians will just swing around and drop a second bomb on the building taking out even more jihadists.
"Do you realise now what you have done?"
Getting it, and getting something done about it are two completely different things.
Rowdy Roddy Piper had it right. You need to take down the TV.
..."until the US decides it's prepared to engage Russia directly".
The US would engage Russia ON ISIS' SIDE?
That will sure go down well with an audience that's been told all the US war efforts since 2001 have gone into a grandiose "War On Terror".
I wonder what crazy spin they would find to sell that one.
My, this clusterfuck is the Bay of Pigs on a staggering scale.
If -as seems to be the plan- the Iraqi Shiites, Iranian Quds, Hezbollah, the Syrian Army, and the Russian Air Force can coordinate their actions effectively, then ISIS. Al-Qaeda, and Al-Nusra would be wiped out within this timeframe. It also seems that Russia is purposely leaving the Kurds out of this alliance, which is to the benefit of Turkey as well as Iran and Iraq.
I will be very interested to learn how Russia has combined the lessons learned in Afghanistan with their military doctrine developed in WW II.

The U.S. targets a single house on the block, and tries to send a missile into one specific window. The Russians will be taking out the whole block. ISIS has done Russia a favor by chasing every non-ISIS fighter out of many of these towns and villages! The only people left are ISIS targets.
One of these countries is attempting to covertly overthrow a sovereign Syrian Government using violence. The other is acting on behalf of the sovereign government and acting in their defence. Who has the moral high ground?
The moral high ground is held by the ones who write the history.

Russian church’s declaration of holy war in Syria sparks calls for jihad
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/21407-russian-churchs...
Of course, it wasn't actually a declaration of "a holy war" nor a war against Muslims or Islam - but naturally, that won't matter one bit.
You wondered what Anglo-Zionist strategy would be?
Doubling down.
I guess growing a beard, wearing a dress and decapitating people while on a nice salary from the CIA is not so attractive anymore ?
Yep, way too much "overhead".
Three to four months? Weeks is more like it. Faced with an army that shoots back, ISIS, like all other Arab rabbles, will wet their pants, drop their guns and run.
The criminally disturbed children who volunteered for ISIS as jihadis and broodmares will turn themselves into their national embassies in droves, begging to come home to a long jail sentence in a wetsern country, because even PMITA prison will beat anything the Russians have in store for them.
Order will be restored in Syria by US Thanksgiving, at the latest.

Here's hoping the isil retreat lanes are surveiled by someone other than the nsa. Moral cover thru the shredder
If the U.S. is so good at telling which groups of terrorists are ISIS and which are not - then why haven't we hit the ISIS targets? These are headquarters, supply depots, training facilities -- things that do not 'move' -- meaning that the U.S. knows about them and has NOT hit them.
American govt knows most Americans are non thinking morons. and they are right.
It is quite simple really.
There are various maps produced by various agencies and then of course when the orders are given to attack a terrorist group no one can find the location.
They look for ISIS in town A but only find that ISIL is the force there.
Then they look at the second order, which is to attach ISIS in town B, but the force their is called IS
Third order on the list is attack IS in town C, but that town is occupied by ISIS.
It is really confusing then you cannot find the enemy.
"Of course if the US is unwilling to draw a line..." What fucking movie have you seen?
Mein Droogies,
Let’s keep our panties on (just for a minute).
A brief history of Syria…
1946, Syria became an independent republic, just as many new countries did after WW2.
1948 Arab–Israeli War or the First Arab–Israeli War was fought between the State of Israel and a military coalition of Arab states. Then for the first time since 586 B.C., a Jewish state was created. Shit happens.
1949 - “Democratic rule” was ended by a coup (the Syrian national sport).
Two more fucking coups followed that same year
1954 - A popular uprising against military rule in 1954 saw the army transfer power to civilians.
1956 - The Suez War, also named the Tripartite Aggression, and the Kadesh Operation, or the invasion of Egypt by Israel, followed by Britain and France. The aims were to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and to remove Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser from power.
1958 to 1961 a brief union with Egypt replaced Syria's parliamentary system with a highly centralized presidential regime.
1963 - The Ba'ath Syrian Regional Branch government came to power after yet another successful coup d'état.
1966 - Another fucking coup overthrew the traditional leaders of the party, Michel Aflaq and Salah al-Din al-Bitar.
1967 – The six day Arab–Israeli War, or Third Arab–Israeli War, was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Israel kicked their asses.
1970 - General Hafez al-Assad, the Minister of Defense, seized power in the "corrective movement" (yes, another fucking coup), becoming Prime Minister.
1971 - Hafez Assad declared himself President, a position that he held until his death in 2000.
1973 - Syria and Egypt initiated the Yom Kippur War by launching a surprise attack on Israel. After intense fighting, the Syrians were repulsed in the Golan Heights. The Israelis pushed deeper into Syrian territory, beyond the 1967 boundary.
1975 - Assad said he would be prepared to make peace with Israel in return for an Israeli withdrawal from "all occupied Arab land." Ya right.
1976 - The Syrian army "leaned in" the Lebanese civil war to ensure that the status quo was maintained, and the Maronite Christians remained in power. This was the beginning of what turned out to be a thirty-year Syrian military occupation.
1990 - The Syrian-sponsored Taif Agreement finally ended the Lebanese civil war. However, the Syrian Army's presence in Lebanon continued until 2005
About one million Syrian workers went to Lebanon after the war to find jobs in the reconstruction of the country (by fucking design).
1994 - The Lebanese government granted citizenship to over 200,000 Syrian residents in the country. This is called cultural fucking for an eventual land grab (when the time is right).
The Muslim Brotherhood, centered in the city of Hama, was finally crushed in February 1982 when parts of the city were hit by artillery fire and leaving between 10,000 and 25,000 people, mostly civilians, dead or wounded.
1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait. Syria joined the US-led coalition against Iraq.
1994, Assad's son Bassel al-Assad, who was likely to succeed his father, was killed in a car accident. Oops.
1998 - Assad's brother, Rifaat al-Assad, was "relieved of his post" as vice-president.
2000 - Assad dies. His second son, Bashar al-Assad was chosen as his successor. Funny how shit happens to those with a plan.
2011 - The latest Syrian civil war began. Arab Spring (read CIA/Mosad sponsored destabilization) protests, nationwide protests against President Bashar al-Assad's government. Assad responded with violent crackdowns. The conflict gradually morphed from prominent protests to an armed rebellion after months of military sieges.
October 2015, over 300,000 are dead, 7.6 million people are displaced, and 5 million people have fled the country. Russia is now bombing the U.S. (CIA trained) insurgents back to their usual stone age. So, the fuck what?
Murder, genocide, and ethnic cleansing is a special sporting event in Syria. None of what is happening today is a fucking surprise.
Cui Bono?
Assad gets rid of his anti-regime coup potential, the bulk of his useless eater population, and Russia keeps their geopolitical sphere from eroding into the hands of the Neocon fuck-brains and their White house monkey in Washington.
Russia is simply killing the Neocon fuck-brains and their CIA trained terrorists, and making the White house monkey look like what he is - an embarrassment to the American people.
The question is: What will the American people do when they find out that they are next in the sporting purge cycle?
Fatten up, and enjoy your fucking football games, viagra, part-time jobs, your popcorn and fucking shitty beer commercials.
They're coming to get ya.
2016
Russia invites in 2 million Chinese to help rebuild Syria.
They finish the job in 8 monts flat and stay there.
Do I need to learn Mandarin or Traditional?
FYI.. Russia is still dominated by the Communist Party. A good read on their past attitudes is Edvard Radvinsky's "Stalin". Putin is just a very smart commie and knows how to do it by the book (law). Our time has come and the Judge (Moscow) and Jury (Beijing) are convening. Just guess who's going to be the prosecution? It is time to be prepared to accept the socialist ways (Jesus). LoL, you heathens.
Let the Chinese have some target practice also.
They will want to do it over and over after 30 minutes.
According to some news reporterette, the savage Ruskies aren't even using precision guided weapons! LOL
NWO
The globalist are at a stand still,
Hopepedapope

Stone Age, Russian style. Yeah baby.
Upside for Saudi Arabia - fewer people to get stampeded next year.
The Russians took care of the Sixth German Army in WWII, eliminating ISIS will be like a day at the amusement park. I never met a Russian, I didn't like.....
It's been propheside about the army of the north so we already know the US no longer have a foothold in the ME. The Saudi's no longer trust the US to be the guarantor of their security and now going to switch allegiance to army of the north (Russia). The long coveted pipeline by the Saudi's going thru Syria will become a reality but it will be owned by Gazprom. In other words, the US and EU's plan to make Russia drop to their knees and beg to please give them business to survive, backfires into now Russia owns the supply of energy to the EU in everyturn. So now the master (EU, US) becomes the slave begging the master (Russia) for some energy to fuel the need of their masses.
if you follow prophesy then it would also mean USA is no longer around to defend israel
