Syrian Crisis: What Will Happen Next?
Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,
The Syrian crisis and the confluence of clashing interests there was entirely predictable. In fact, I wrote an article on my former website in 2010 outlining the potential for Syria as a high value catalyst for global conflict titled “Will Globalists Trigger Yet Another World War?”
In it, I summarized the dubious history of wars initiated over the past century, including the nature of false flags and false paradigms created by globalists designed to divide nations and peoples and turn them against each other. This strategy of engineered war (along with engineered economic collapse) has been used time and time again by the elites to artificially generate chaos and then consolidate and centralize power while the masses are blinded by confusion.
Even back then, the problem with Syria seemed obvious:
"...We have a nuclear armed Israel itching to attack Iran. We have Iran engaged in a defense pact with Syria against Israel. We have Syria with Russian navy bases and weapons on its soil, and we have the U.S. rampaging through the Middle East encroaching on the borders of Pakistan and Yemen, essentially pissing off everyone. What we have is a Globalist made recipe for disaster, using the same ingredients they have used for the last several major wars..."
Only a year after I published the piece the civil uprising in Syria began, starting with the “Daraa protest movement”, aided by covert intelligence agencies including the CIA.
In 2012, I decided to reexamine my original theory on Syria as a global catalyst in my article “Syria And Iran Dominoes Lead To World War.”
In that article, I felt it was necessary to summarize trends in the region, where they might lead, and how globalists might exploit each scenario to achieve a false conflict between East and West. I predicted that the entire Syrian insurgency was conjured out of the ether by NATO interests, due to the suspicious nature of the Council On Foreign Relations and their public statements suddenly SUPPORTING Al-Qaida in Syria. U.S. involvement in the funding and training of the organization we now know as ISIS (or al-Qaida 2.0) has been proven.
I predicted that U.S. ground troops would enter Syria. This has happened, though the U.S. government maintains that their role and numbers will be “limited.”
I suggested that once U.S. troops were deployed in any capacity in the region, Iran would join forces with the Syrian government under their already existing mutual defense pact. Today, Iranian troops are entering Syria en masse for combat operations.
I also predicted that U.S. involvement in Syria would eventually elicit a military response from Russia and a financial response from China. Though China has not yet used the conflict as an excuse to accelerate the dumping of U.S. treasuries, Russia is now fully committed to airstrikes and is preparing a ground invasion, possibly exceeding 150,000 troops.
Some developments I suggested in my previous articles have not yet surfaced, though I believe there is more than enough momentum for them to be triggered. For instance, I believe Israel is still the ultimate wild card in the Syrian crisis. A military response from Israel is more than possible, particularly against Iran in retaliation for flooding into the region. Further U.S. involvement, including the greater commitment of major naval assets, is likely. And if the U.S. or Israel escalate, I believe Iran will shut down the Strait of Hormuz, perhaps even with the aid of Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has hinted that Israeli activity in Syrian airspace will be obstructed, and reports of some “near misses” between Russian and Israeli fighters have surfaced.
Currently, U.S. “relations” with Russia are at lows not seen since the Cold War. In the meantime, the globalists have created a perfect storm of conflicting interests that could very well lead to outright world war. That said, there are different brands of warfare. And, as I pointed out five years ago, the elites do not necessarily need the threat of nuclear war to open the door to collapse.
Economic warfare would be just as devastating to many parts of the globe and the U.S. in particular, causing massive population reduction through starvation in the span of a few months while leaving large areas of infrastructure intact. Economic warfare is also a perfect distraction of the public eye away from the crimes of international financiers. Our fiscal structure is already in the middle of an implosion set in motion by deliberately destructive central banking policies. But in the midst of economic warfare, such monetary atrocities can simply be blamed on “the treachery of the East.” The Syrian debacle makes an economic battle scenario between East and West "believable" for many people around the world.
Still, wider regional warfare of the shooting variety is certainly guaranteed in the near future.
Saudi Arabia has denounced Russian and Iranian involvement in Syria and has increased support to “moderate rebels.” Of course, as we have seen repeatedly in the past couple of years, there are in fact NO moderates in Syria as rebel groups continue to obtain Western money and weapons and then join the ranks of ISIS.
The Saudis have made it clear that they will never accept a situation in which the Assad regime continues to hold power in Syria. They have threatened a military response in the event that Assad gains superiority over the insurgency. Keep in mind that the Saudis have already committed forces to Yemen.
Tensions are also increasing between Saudi Arabia and Iran over Syrian involvement, despite recent Saudi support for the U.S./Iran nuclear deal. The European Council On Foreign Relations has warned that there are now no “mediators for deescalation” in the region. Of course, this is exactly the way they prefer it.
Turkey is also now a factor, with Turkish officials claiming airspace violations by Russia, and Turkish forces operating in at least a limited capacity in Syria and Iraq. Syria is a gasoline soaked mess and there are too many potential sparks to keep track of. The globalists have conjured an environment in which a disastrous domino effect is almost guaranteed.
Another rather unexpected consequence of the Syrian crisis is the now active effort by the elites to initiate a Cloward-Piven strategy using so-called Syrian "refugees" to destabilize the EU and perhaps even the U.S. Already, the suggested immigration count for such refugees, many of whom are not even from Syria, has risen from 10,000 bound for the U.S. to 100,000. I believe as the crisis continues to grow this number will be increased to 1 million refugees or more bound for the U.S. Expect many extremist elements to be shipped into our borders along with them.
It is absolutely imperative to remember regardless of what happens next, almost every element of this crisis has been staged. War and economic despair are the ultimate expedient world-changing tools. They wipe the slate nearly clean, as it were, and mold public perception through fear. That which you thought impossible today becomes rather reasonable tomorrow after crisis takes hold; and this includes the final deconstruction of constitutional values, the militarization of our society, the loss of financial prosperity, the extreme degradation of living standards and the ultimate centralization of everything.
It is also important to realize that there are no sides in this conflict. The East/West paradigm is a sham of epic proportions and always has been. False sides are meant to distract and bewilder the public. They are designed to create counterfeit cross-sections of blame. They are an anathema to truth.
For further and deeper analysis on possible future developments on a global scale please read my articles “The Economic End Game Explained” and “Has America Been Set Up As History’s Ultimate Bumbling Villain?”
The question today is merely one of timing. How long before a negative trigger is introduced? How long before Israeli planes come into contact with Russian or Iranian fighters? How long before U.S. troops come into contact with Russian troops? How long before Israel or Saudi Arabia strike Iran? And if the U.S. backs out completely, how long before the entire dynamic of the Middle East is flipped and America loses petro-status for the dollar? With the speed of events forming a fiscal-political riptide, it is hard to imagine we will be waiting very long to find out.

sounds like bullshit.
I agree. Why would Russia commit 150000 troops when they don't need to?
Putin is playing chess and he thinks ahead several moves. He prepares accordingly.
They don't. Aside of SF, the Iranians will be the infantry. All Russia need is specops to ID targets, handle rare situations, and have marines guard their airbase.
Don't overestmate Daesh, either. I doubt they have hundreds of thousands of fighters, and a lot of what they do have are now dead.
LC - agree. The 155k could be reasonable for all.
The brave Mossad, SAS and CIA handlers have more than likely been bussed back to their base in Jordan by now, under cover of darkness. The Turkish and Pakistani fighters left behind will take the Russian flak. There's not much the Russians can do about this, but sadly it means the beast lives to fight another day.
Some of them got the surprise of their lives. I read that the jihadis were surprised that unlike the w/ Syrian AF, the Russian ordinance made contact before they heard the planes.
If there's one thing the Russian military is good at it's raining colossal firepower down on the heads of its enemies.
It is bullshit. The 150k comes from the next round of regular conscription in Russia and some journo got hold of it, either had no clue or just puffed it up.
Just look at the Iraq war build ups, thousand of air flights and Ro-Ro ferries for months. Nothing like that on the radar.
Plus, Russia seems to learn its lessons, no way another Afganistan.
Just keep those missiles flying, jets bombing and if it comes to all out war, so be it!
go get'em
luna_man " if it comes to all out war, so be it!
If it comes to all out war and the US starts getting nuked, you will immediately change your "so be it" opinion to one of praying on your hands and knees that it ends quickly.
WAR IS HELL!
P.S.
I did not down-vote you
Now that TPP designed to move factories from China to TPP members... China should get in on this party now... not much to lose...
too funny... Russia showed some cruise missiles and now NATO is worried... did they think they were old lada missiles? Shut yer face NATO
We should not ever be in Syria. I would get the fuck out. Someone picked a fight with me today and that it is not going to end well for that guy. No reason for boring details. I have my dad's shadow box flag and dogtags ready. I will make so much of an ass out of this guy that he won't walk striaght for the rest of his life. Well, I try to help folks where I can but I guess that is not good enough. And I even believe in forgiving one fuck up but what happened today is the second time and not forgivable. I said no words. Not one word, I just gave have a stare, and this guy screamed "Fuck You" at me after he broke my personal property and tried to hide it. I never said one word. Nothing.
NO, you do not do that. Accidents happen but you do not fuck up someone's property and then tell them "fuck you". Naw, you can't do that and get away with it and the guy is 50 years old or so and should know better. I was so angry that the only reasonable thing I could do was leave. I had to because I am 41 and maybe a little wiser but if I was 25 and 247lbs, as I once was, that guy would not be walking for a while. I walked away but I am not sure that I have really walked away yet.
This guy is an independent contractor and has been taking advantage and I have brought this up before but today he broke my personal equipment and tried to hide it and then told me to fuck off. My blood is still boiling but I'll make him look like the ass he is. This jerk got paid by the city to do this job.
I will not work with this guy and that is the way it is. I am a pretty good value for the money so they don't really want to lose me. I said, someone has to go: Either he goes or I go because I don't take any shit. This guy has been saying that he helped build #17 at TPC Sawgrass. Bullshit. No, you are an asshole and I have been in this business too long to believe any bullshit you say.
It helps if your friend is the general manager and you have done favors for him the past. I have fight club going and I will not back down. In fact, I already quit the job once today but they talked me back into coming in. I don't like giving up but I am not afraid. I have 20 years in this business, a bachelor's degree, and five golf courses worth of experience. That is no accident.
I think I have always been clear that if you don't fuck with me than I will not fuck with you. Why would I? What happened happened. Not much can be done about it but I have to do something because it is career related as far as I want it to be. My dad died 41 years ago and I got a flag. I guess I should use that flag.
I would never advertise mypersonal troubles in public. Perhaps you need some couselling?
It's a short story.
He writes rather well.
i think russia should bait the israelis with flyovers to get them to shoot at their planes so the russians have a legitimate reason to bomb the shit out of tel aviv for a coupla nights. ben gurion airport should be bombed first so the useless israelis have to take a boat to cyprus to escape like a bunch of haitian refugees.
that would be 100 dollar scotch worthy to see.
here's a better way ... dress as a jew... go the mosque at temple mount and blow it up... then israel is toast.
Turkey is also now a factor, with Turkish officials claiming airspace violations by Russia, and Turkish forces operating in at least a limited capacity in Syria and Iraq. Syria is a gasoline soaked mess and there are too many potential sparks to keep track of. The globalists have conjured an environment in which a disastrous domino effect is almost guaranteed."
THIS is the most worrisome friction point, and one that'll need to be monitored carefully. Turkey is likely to respond to claimed airspace incursions by engaging Russia, which would require a retaliatory Russian response. Of course, the Turks would expect backup from NATO...and...here we go...
And somehow, someone must shut John McCain up before that crazed loon sets something off himself. I watched his CNN interview this evening where, when asked what we should do about the situation, responded by saying that the first thing we should do is tell Russia we will fly wherever we want to, and to stay the hell outta our way...
I doubt we make it another week without this shit escalating to the brink of major war.
If we continue to inject ourselves into a situation beyond our control, I fail to see how it can be avoided.
m
turkey needs some sabatours to light the place up and forget about those Russian planes
I think McCain is right. We should put him in a plane and let him fly there. He has a great track record in a cockpit.
Some even believe McInsane caused the FORRESTAL DISASTER by hotrodding and backfiring his engine(s) on the flight deck.
Of course, the Turks would expect backup from NATO...
I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. How long have they waited to join the EU?
Erdogan is blackmailing the EU. He told in Brussels the other day that he expects EU membership or he will not stop the flow of migrants. In Brussels they hate his guts. NATO spokepuppet said that NATO should send troops to Turkey to guard its souther border but there are not many Europeans willing to fight for Turkey. Expect a false flag though.
No disrespect intended but trying to predict history not only is a fool's errand but often results from the smoking of too much Mary Jane as a teen ager.
The crystal ball gazers and geezers at ZH -- knowing only something like 10 or 15% of the facts, bones of truth that the propagandists want us to know -- are ill prepared to give us anything but their hopes and fears.
sounds like disrespect intended
But you are mistaken, sir.
Too much is always better than not enough.
I'll bet you saw "Amadeus"
MOZART: So then you like it? You really like it, Your Majesty?
EMPEROR: Of course I do. It's very good. Of course now and then - just now and then - it gets a touch elaborate.
MOZART: What do you mean, Sire?
EMPEROR: Well, I mean occasionally it seems to have, how shall one say? [he stops in difficulty; turning to Orsini-Rosenberg] How shall one say, Director?
ORSINI-ROSENBERG: Too many notes, Your Majesty?
EMPEROR: Exactly. Very well put. Too many notes.
MOZART: I don't understand. There are just as many notes, Majesty, as are required. Neither more nor less.

obola surrenders, hands more guns over to the enemy, signs another secret illegal treaty giving more money away, has the nsa/cia/mic fabricate more domestic shootings using their medical field collaborators, and then signs another illegal executive order for ________?
I wonder what captured ISIS dudes are going to say about the CIA and UK ammo drop offs..
Tidying up loose ends is what the CIA is good at.
They will give the Rossians targetting data when that possibility arises.
I dont't think they are planning on taking prisoners anyway, its not the Spetsnaz MO.

Saudi Arabia is probably the biggest wild card in this evolving story. At this point, their bark is bigger than their bite, and mostly, for domestic Sunni consumption. However, as with the Turks, if they are confident that the U.S.would back them up, they could be inclined to engage Iran--especially if Iran does indeed begin a ground campaign.
Both the Turks and the Saudi's are capable of menacing the situation into a major conflict.
m
I don't believe they will be allowed to as long as Russia has nuclear subs off of ISrael, making it very clear that ISrael is the target. Instead there wil be a palace revolt and the current warmongering rules of SA will be removed.
The letter has already been circulated.
Russia will aways be free and independant or there will be no Russia. Stop dreaming about movie alike future (hunger games or whatever)
Crisis, what crisis, it's just another perfect day in Damascus, and that bright light rising in the east is shining out of Obama's ass, everything is norbal.
Saudi Arabia is the main exporter of terrorism.
I hope Washington sees that clearly very very soon.
Perhaps, but nobody creates, arms and finances terrorists better than the good ole US of A.

Does this blogger feel that the cabal can now pick and choose Sovereign leaders across the board , like YeahMen? NoMan!
America uses nuclear weapons to prevent collapse of petrodollar and mid east falling into the hands of Russia to stop oil & gas monopoly by Russia.
But alas, it will be so counterproductive and suicidal.
US makes 6500 sorties against ISIL and now Putin wraps it up in a week.
Just what exactly have you guys been bombing?
Log cannons, inflatable tanks, and abandonded pill boxes.
Just like in Serbia.
That's right. The Yugoslav army used smart tactics. They had inflatable tanks and tanks made out of cardbord. They camaflouged an important bridge and made a dummy bridge 300 meters downstream. When the dummy was bombed the Yugoslav army rebuild it in a couple of days. At one point NATO found out they were not hitting enough military targets, infuriating Wesley Clarke. Dreading having to conduct an invasion over land (only really possible via the plains in the north exposing themselves) NATO changed their tactics: they started targeting civilian objects like hospitals, commuter trains, a TV station, a market, civilian industry, random houses in random villages. At one point the sludge in Danube River was so thick that in Romania they only had half an hour to shut down a nuclear reactor in order to avoid a nuclear accident. NATO expected that the bombing campaign would take 48 hours, it took 78 days. Around 1,500 civilians died. After that at least 100,00 Serbs were ethnically cleansed from Kosovo.
6,500 sorties, but only dropped ordinance 20% of the flights.
I asked people in Belgrade what did they do during the campaign. They said they spent time in airraid shelters, had parties, organized BBQs and had a lot of sex.
This is the only realistically possible "surprise". Israel or Western forces cannot attack Russian military assets, even by "accident". However, they can, under the guise of attacking IS, bomb Iranian troops once they enter the region. However, it is extremely unlikely the West will engage in such an action directly and goad Israel into doing that. Under the belief that it is immune from any retalion from Iran, Israel might try that. However, when Iran threatens to block the Strait of Hormuz unless Israel is punished for its intransigence and Syria takes the matter to UN, the West will be" forced" to agree to sanction Israel until the demands are met.
Despite so many threats to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities if the US doesn't do so, Israel never really attempted that because they knew exactly what would happen. But this time they may be tempted into committing an action that would have the exact same consequences for them.
I wonder what Israeli command thought when they saw 26 blips coming toward them from the direction of Iran? If they didnt see any then that would be worse from a defensive point of view as they regard an Iranian attack as their biggest threat.
"A military response from Israel is more than possible, particularly against Iran in retaliation for flooding into the region."
Poor deluded Brandon, playing the last Anglozionazi card in the deck. This type of fear porn is akin to the Yellen Oracle raising "rates" babble which keeps the USSA Ponzi sewer gushing effluent into its Potemkin Village "economy" ad nauseam...at least until Russia and China finally throw their GOLD onto the table. Hegel my a$$!

You are frankly embarrassing. No NATO neither israelis will do nothing, like every coward who uses to beat children and poor cripple men, but meets a giant with a very big knotty stick. The Caliber cruise missiles launch only served to warn that if someone is so funny to knock down a russian jet, then Incirlik air base will be raze.
By the way Israel and the tale about 300 nukes, if someone decides to cancel the dwarf by the map, he needs only one nuclear missile.
At the moment there are many people, in the West, who are changing the nappies, while Putin plays hockey.

Better off dead than cock-sucking like the EU asswipes.
China has the WU-14 - capable of covering the entire planet in an hour - it arrives before it has left - nuclear capable and too quick for any missile to get near it - in fact the ultimate 'peacemaker' !
I still hold a button on Wiliam G. Carr's arguments in his book Pawns in the Game. That after the WWII and Bolshevik revolution, the elites failed to incorporate Soviet into their plans. This I think shows very clearly today.I hope Russia exposes these psychopaths in the end.
I have had enough. I'm tired of the lies with the Associated Press and our entire corporate media. Russia in 6 days crushed Isis/Isil/Is/Isus/ Whatever our CIA wants to call it. We have been arming and supporting vague elements in the middle east for 10 years with no defined goal or structured civilized society. We over throw governments and leave vacuums that create even more targets and enemies. While Killling millions of people and displacing women, children. Our American Government has been hijacked by self serving corrupt A-holes who are financed by a globalized cartel of central banks. I am so god damn frustrated.
Welcome.

Completely understandable, living in the Judenreich, like you do.
The Western cabal is losing its power. They do not like it, so there will be retaliation. However, the
continued warmongering criminality of the Western powers, which has cost millions of lives, cannot be allowed to
continue unabated. Only Russia could have pulled off a move like this. They have taken on the fascist neocons, and
will now do whatever it takes, to shore up their position in the Middle East. They should be commended.
I think we are going to see nations moving away from the US both on terms of support, and in terms of moving away from the dollar. There will be turbulance, but the world will end up in a much better place in a relatively short time.

No war between Israel and Russia this week.
USA and it's friends Saudi and Israel Turkey are so irresponsible.... as well as most western nations... And unreasonable. They need to be taken to the woodshed. Even westerners are rooting for Russia and China to give a thrashing to them... total lack of confidence in leadership... So the real issue is lack of control by the citizens of western nations to fire this loser leadership we have. That's the nerve the Trump is hitting on. Democracy is rigged. Media is controlled. This must be changed.
What will happen next?
Mindless blather about the evil or Russia saving the despicable Assad. More ravings and empty sabre rattlings over purported Russian "aggression".
Perhaps some slight testings of airspace. Nothing too heavy. They know what they're up against and don't want a piece of it.
Longer term, the question is: will the Zios show themselves to be as weak about Iraq, especially if Putin is invited and goes there as well?
Things are getting interesting.
One has to wonder how different it could be if the US government just minded its own business.
"...just minded its own business."
The Jewish empire believes this is very much its own business. Who do you think is in charge?
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that none of these articles ever come true? This site has really gone down hill in the last couple of years.

"Already, the suggested immigration count for such refugees, many of whom are not even from Syria, has risen from 10,000 bound for the U.S. to 100,000. I believe as the crisis continues to grow this number will be increased to 1 million refugees or more bound for the U.S. Expect many extremist elements to be shipped into our borders along with them."
Which, as planned, provides justification to ratchet up the militarised police state in the US and even in UK/Europe.
As always, an excellent article from Brandon providing lots to think about over the coming weeks/months.
"The Saudis have made it clear that they will never accept a situation in which the Assad regime continues to hold power in Syria. They have threatened a military response in the event that Assad gains superiority over the insurgency."
I'm sure that worries the pants off Russia/Iran.
Message to Saudi animal Kingdom: "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
You assume a direct conflict. The Saudis are the descendents of Laurance of Arabia. They will go guerilla.
Might I suggest "The Strategy of the Indirect Approach" by Hart to understand military operations?
Only fools attack strongly held positions.
If Saudi interferes with what's going on in Syria and attempts to thwart Russian actions there (which is what this article alludes to), a direct conflcit between the two on the ground or in the air is entirely possible. Even indirect actions by Saudi could prompt an explosive warning shot across the bows from Russia. Given the two are competitors in the energy markets I can't see there's much love lost between them.
Did I mention Iran? An ally of Russia but an enemy of Saudi. Plenty of opportunities for conflict.....
As usual Brandon emphasizes, "there are no sides in this conflict"
If that's true why has Russia banned GMOs and why has the BRICS been furiously buying up gold that is Kryptonite to the Globalist Central Bankers.
There are good guys in this world conflict and Putin is one of them. He intends to bring honesty and freedom to markets and money. How else would the BRICS use their gold?
Also the Asian Zone just excluded the dollar and the Euro. Does that sound like Putin is in cahoots with the Zionist Globalists?
Putin will follow his interest. As will everyone else. It has always been that way with humans.

From 2013:
Gazprom's interest in the area is more longstanding, as it wants to bolster its access to its European customers. The gas giant lost a key tender last year to take a stake in Israel's giant Leviathan gas field, where production is expected to begin in 2016.
Lebanon is lagging behind other eastern Mediterranean states, including Israel and Turkey, in developing its offshore energy reserves. Decision-making is currently hamstrung by a domestic political impasse, and the license-granting process has already been delayed several times.

My guess is that Putin and Netanyahu have come to an agreement to bring peace to the ME.
That would be the only thing that could explain Russia's "out by Christmas" plan.
Israel will deliver the Saudis and Russia will deliver Iran.
Peace will mean the gas pipeline from Iran to Syria. Everyone will be allowed to connect. Probably financed by the Saudis. Security will be Pax Russia.
Have you been up to the North Pole of late? I heard Santa Claus is ahead of schedule.
Russia will strike CIA fake ISIS where ever... even Afghanistan... perhaps make a deal with Taliban to wipe out ISIS... seems crazy... but Taliban and Russians can make a deal.
I skipped through this thread this morning to get a chuckle. And the usual suspects gave it to me. Thankx
This is a rare once-in-a-century opportunity - the Americans and Russians should combine forces and collaborate to eliminate all the islamic scum in the middle east and take control of all the land and resources - just imagine, no more islamic living garbage, what a fabulous outcome that would be !!!!!!!!!!
"Economic warfare would be just as devastating [as nuclear war]"
Ok, that is some class A1 stupidity right there. Economic warfare might result in a terrible death toll, but a true full scale nuclear war is on a totally different level. He is just undermining his own credibility with such hyperbole.
Gotta reply to myself now that I read the rest of the article. Forget him losing credibility, this writer is a nutjob conspiritard. He has none to lose. Sure there are groups like the neocons and conspracies exist, but no one is actually running everything and even if they were they would have no interest in destroying it all with a nuclear war unless their name is Davros.
