"Insurgents" Shell Russian Embassy In Syria After Al-Qaeda Calls For Jihad Against Russian Civilians

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As the twin blasts that ripped through Ankara on Saturday underscore, being around large gatherings of people who are protesting (peacefully or otherwise) in public places can be dangerous if you’re in a Mid-East war zone. Large crowds make for easy targets and as we’ve seen in Turkey, at least some governments seem to believe that inflicting casualties on civilians is a legitimate tool for shaping public opinion.

With that in mind, consider that on Tuesday, “insurgents” hit the Russian embassy in Damascus as more than 300 people gathered to express their support for Moscow’s intervention in Syria. As AFP reports

Two rockets struck the Russian embassy compound in Damascus on Tuesday sparking panic as several hundred people gathered to express their support for Moscow's air war in Syria, AFP journalists said.

 

Some 300 people had begun to gather for a demonstration backing Russia's recent intervention in Syria when the rockets crashed into the embassy compound in the Mazraa neighbourhood of the capital, the journalists at the scene said.

 


 

There was widespread panic among the demonstrators, who moments earlier had been waving Russian flags and holding up large photographs of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Here’s a bit of amusing color from ABC:

Some held placards that read: "Thanks Russia" and "Syria and Russia are together to fight terrorism."

 

"President Putin's stances were absolutely positive for Syria," said 39-year-old civil servant Nizar Maqssoud.

 

Student Osama Salal, 18, said: "All the West stood against us. Only Russia backed us . we are all here to thank Russia and President Putin."

Interfax says no one was killed or wounded. And here's Lavrov: "This is... most likely intended to intimidate supporters of the fight against terror and prevent them from prevailing in the struggle against extremists." 

Meanwhile, the head of al-Nusra, Abu Mohamed al-Jolani, is out raising the spectre of the Soviet-Afghan war on the way to calling for a jihad against Russian civilians. We go back to AFP:

"If the Russian army kills the people of Syria, then kill their people. And if they kill our soldiers, then kill their soldiers. An eye for an eye," Abu Mohamed al-Jolani, the head of Al-Nusra Front, said in an audio recording released late Monday.

 

He pledged that Moscow's air war in Syria, which began on September 30, would have dire consequences for Russia.

 

"The war in Syria will make the Russians forget the horrors that they found in Afghanistan," Jolani said, adding: "They will be shattered, with God's permission, on Syria's doorstep."

 

"Delay the disputes until the demise and smashing of the Western Crusader and Russian campaign on Syrian land," he said.

 

"I call on all armed factions to gather the highest number of shells and rockets and to hurl hundreds of rockets every day at the Nusayri villages, just like the scoundrels do to the Sunni villages and towns, to make you taste what our people are suffering," Jolani said.

 

Nusayri is a derogatory term for Alawites, considered by Al-Nusra's extreme interpretation of Islam to be apostates.

 

"When they will stop attacking our village and cities, we will stop attacking theirs," he added.

At the risk of overthinking things, both the "incident" in Damascus and the jihad call come at a rather convenient time for the West and its various regional, Sunni allies. President Obama has insisted that Russia will get itself into a "quagmire" in Syria only so far, the gains secured on the ground by Hezbollah and other troops loyal to Iran (with Russian air support) seem to suggest that this may end up being a rather quick victory.

Given that, it's interesting that a Sunni extremist group which has received support from Assad's Mid-East enemies should come out and describe the very same quagmire that Obama suggested would unfold. Additionally, lobbing rockets at civilians who are staging a pro-Russia rally might well be construed as a helpful tool in perpetuating the idea that Moscow's involvement will make things worse for Syrians, another line parroted ceaselessly in the West. 

Then again, the suggestion that Russian civilians will be targeted in retailiation for any civilians killed in Syria will only serve to support Putin's "we must attack them before they come to our homes" pronouncement and thus isn't likely to dissuade The Kremlin. 

One should expect that the anti-Russian pronouncements from the various Sunni extremist groups fighting for control of the country will only increase in the coming days and weeks, and on that note, we suggest you first recall the following line from a leaked diplomatic cable ca. 2006 describing the preferred strategy for destabilizing the Assad regime...

-- PLAY ON SUNNI FEARS OF IRANIAN INFLUENCE:  There are fears in Syria that the Iranians are active in both Shia proselytizing and conversion of, mostly poor, Sunnis.  Though often exaggerated, such fears reflect an element of the Sunni community in Syria that is increasingly upset by and focused on the spread of Iranian influence in their country through activities ranging from mosque construction to business. Both the local Egyptian and Saudi missions here, (as well as prominent Syrian Sunni religious leaders), are giving increasing attention to the matter and we should coordinate more closely with their governments on ways to better publicize and focus regional attention on the issue. 

...and then consider the following from AP, describing more of Jolani's jihad call...

The jihadi leader promised to pay 3 million euros ($3.42 million) to whomever kills Assad and 2 million euros ($2.28 million) to whomever kills Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, whose men are fighting along with Assad's forces.

He will have to go in fast and hard...something the Islamists haven't had to deal a lot with. Putin MUST win or he is fucked. With any luck, Obama will be our sin eater. If Putin can stabilize the ME somewhat, the world is the winner, and with any luck we can bury our weakass bullshit with Obama.

Then, fill the area in with concrete and make it permanently uninhabitable. Then, outlaw all over the world holy books that in the tiniest way have anything to do with allah and yaweh, destroy all mosques and synagogues everywhere, and write laws to keep these ppl out of power, not to hold office, be in banks, or media.

Ahhhh, and finally, the world can have a little peace and quiet.

US airdrops arms in Syria as Russia escalates bombing campaign


By Bill Van Auken 
13 October 2015


Just days after terminating its disastrously failed program to arm and train US-backed “rebels” in Syria, the Pentagon announced Monday that US Air Force C-17 cargo planes escorted by fighter jets airdropped some 50 tons of arms, ammunition and grenades to anti-government forces.

“This successful airdrop provided ammunition to Syrian Arab groups whose leaders were appropriately vetted by the United States,” Pentagon spokesman Colonel Patrick Ryder said in a statement.

The Pentagon failed to disclose the names of the the groups led by these “vetted” leaders or the location where the arms were dropped. Media accounts have referred to the Syrian Arab Coalition, a name invented by the Pentagon itself, to describe various militias that it has decided to aid militarily.

An unnamed “senior defense department official” told Fox News, “All the pallets reached friendly forces.” He said that the arms had been taken from stockpiles that had been intended for the “train and equip” program to field a militia force trained and armed by the US military in Turkey and Jordan.

I disagree.  Those running "our" side of this shit-show are far from retarded.  They are actually very brilliant.  From the casual outsider, it might appear like a "full retard" strategy -- given we don't know their goals, so we substitute our goals (e.g., to live in peace and give our kids a better world than we had ourselves) for theirs intrinsically and thus it appears as if "we" are going "full retard."  

However, therein lies the problem.  We are unfamiliar with what their goals are.  I assume, if we knew what their goals actually were, we'd also be able to appreciate their genius.

You can't defend "full retard" with "inscrutable".  That is tantemount to the "wookie defense"!  At this point, I don't think they have any goals other than angrily fling shit like a monkey.  And that is exactly what it looks like.  I can;t believe anyone is still following Obama's orders.  It is possible that the quality of his policy directly reflects the kind of talentless hack that would actually work for him.

Assuming that the government ever had good intentions is going full retard.

In terms of military strategy their 'play' has been brilliant. We could liken it to go strategy when the modern shift in playstyle often seemed to observers as crude and dishonourable. Many were upset with the break from tradition. This didn't really matter as the play itself was better.

Where the US makes its potentially biggest mistake is that the observers of the geopolitical game are also part of the game, so crude moves and the character portrayed when dealing with the audience can turn them against you. This is basically what the citizenry is, an audience watching the game play out and making their judgments. The more fanatical the gameplay and the audience become, the higher the consequences. Not only do you have to make good moves, you also have to portray the crudeness of the moves in a confident way. That is the mistake, the US does not just move forward, they play like women and deny and cast blame onto the other.

In terms of the most knowledgeable people at home and abroad, they now know that the USNATO crude tactics of employing CIA terrorists and mercs suggests an overall strategy and political character which is rotten to the core - threatening the entire world and human survival. But for the state it is worth it, because progress to a world-consuming system has been the goal of civilisation at least since the trinity of monotheism.

Yeah. They're the moderates the the US Government alleges brought down the Twin Towers and murdered thousands of Yankees. You know, they people that the US Government supposedly invaded a sub-continent to destroy. As it so happens, they're the good guys now, which is why the US Government is giving them weapons, money, training, logistics, and "kinetic air support". According to the NDAA, it's only criminal to materially aid Al-CIAda when terrorist groups are engaged in hostilities against the US Government.

See? All neat and tidy.

Interesting that 2 shells fall on the Russian embassy and the MSM blames "insurgents" and "rebels."  All of a sudden the MSM (or ABC in this case) can't spell "terrorists."  This confusion is at the heart of the U.S. hypocritical "strategy" in Syria.  Listen up MSM dolts, they are terrorists and the U.S. armed them.

Fascinating. Absolutely, mind-blowingly, turbo-hurl inducingly fascinating. Average American citizens have to jump through all sorts of unconstitutional hoops and assorted tyrannical bullshit.....just to ATTEMPT to purchase a SINGLE select-fire weapon. And if they buy 'too much' bulk ammo at one time from a commercial vendor.....they run the risk of getting unwanted attention from their benevolent gobbermint. Yet....that same gobbermint has NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER.....in dropping PALLET LOADS of these same weapons and ammo to ACTUAL FUCKING TERRORISTS......at the expense of those very same, repeatedly violated American taxpayers.

WHAT. THE. FUCK. YOU. CANT. MAKE. THIS. SHIT. UP. ROLL. THE. DAMN. GUILLOTINES.

A good read pmf and I gave you an up arrow on it, but the author leaves out a lot of details on how the Russians got in there in the first place the end of last month!...

Let me be brief... I live in that place "called hell" that is 38.9047° N, 77.0164° W and you should hear the back chatter going on in that town of how the Russians "got in there" without anyone noticing to the extent that the JCS has been wearing diapers for the last two weeks because of it!

Let's just say that if what I am hearing is indeed true just like what happened to the Donald Cook last year on the Black Sea... Moscow doesn't need 12 more Su-30 and 34s because they have "other goodies" that will take care of business at the opportune time when planes on both sides start a droppin!

The American founding fathers were looked upon as terrorists  for standing up the the imperial power of their day, fighting the Brish army using unconventional tactics that were looked upon by the British as cowardly. Sound familiar?? Current terror groups are mostly regional factions sick of the foriegn meddling and are being sponsored and used as tools by the outside interests to maintain and expand the region in their ( US/Russia) sphere of influence, not much different than France's sponsorship of the American revolutionary army in their fight against King George.  Controlling Syria is a big part of a plan by a small group intent on taking down Russia and China needed to fulfil their global agenda.  Too many Americans do not understand this.

The Sunni Jihad now widens its arc; but Putin pretends to be the only person in the world who understands that. As he handled it in Chechenya; in his OWN BRUTAL WAY.

What happens in Turkey is a key to this regional conflagration where the Assad/Iran/Putin alliance is now appearing as a bulwark against the Sunni/Saud/Western coalition + Israel alliance; with Turkey as new member.

Erdogan's Turkey has upped the ante and the Kurds are now part of the equation as all three parties (Syria-Putin, Usa, Iraq) vie for their integration, all the while Erdogan bombs them!

As Putin has Gazprom ambitions with Turkey that further complicates the picture! Putin has a priority there : NO QATAR connection to EU ! That is his top priority it seems.

We have to keep in mind that the Assad regime has constantly been since 40 years the regional ally of ex-USSR; now of Putin. So he will not abandon them and Tartrus base. Secondly, he will not abandon Iran as they have a common front on energy.

But how to play with Turkey is now a geo-political challenge for Putin.

He will have to define his priorities in an airborne blitzkrieg, apparently with Qods Iran, where he has the USA by its nuts in the region.

So he can be patient and try to manipulate on the ground this half baked Sunni front of Raqqa's mad dogs and "moderate" petromonarchist condotierri tearing themselves apart in a devil take hindmost Jihad, under the noon day sun, being bombed by Putin and by USA!

What does it mean to be a Sunni in this mad game?

Mad is the ally of those pumped on CIA steroids who dare not decide who is friend and who is foe.

Time is on his side as Mutti has the refugee problem in EU and Erdogan has a poisoned election ahead whilst Saud is feeling the cold winds of Obamaism blow a hole in its big brother's military presence. Saud does not know how to fight and needs mercenaries, the same that the west detests and who now talk of Jihad in Putinistan!

We are on the cusp of a huge regional about turn, where the rivers will run red.

For those of you who are in love with everything Putin around here just remember what he and the Russian(the government part) really are, they are about power and control and, wait for it, OIL.

Same as it is now as it was then. Please read the following links and remember your history as it relates to Russia/Soviet Union and the ME.

And yes I know we are talking Syria but what do think this is all about? Oil and NG!

My point was that securing the oil gives them the power to control other nations by monopolizing the world market. Something about when they say jump you say how high.

Putin's goals are The same as the TPTB's goals are. It's just that Putin wants to do it as a country which is why he is trying to rebuild Russia into the new Soviet Union. the banisters don't care about any country as long as they control the levers of power.

But I agree with you that oil is secondary as it relates the just being about oil.

"Anti-Soviet warrior puts his army on the road to peace"

This article from Dec. 6, 1993, by Robert Fisk of The Independent

Outside Sudan, Mr Bin Laden is not regarded with quite such high esteem. The Egyptian press claims he brought hundreds of former Arab fighters back to Sudan from Afghanistan, while the Western embassy circuit in Khartoum has suggested that some of the 'Afghans' whom this Saudi entrepreneur flew to Sudan are now busy training for further jihad wars in Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt. Mr Bin Laden is well aware of this. 'The rubbish of the media and the embassies,' he calls it. 'I am a construction engineer and an agriculturalist. If I had training camps here in Sudan, I couldn't possibly do this job.'

PS: Fuckin freedom fighters and job creators.

I bet that after future destruction of Russian Embassy they going to rebuild it as part of rehabilitation program for future former freedom fighters

"This will have consequences for Russia itself, which is rightfully fearful of attack upon Russia. And I also expect that in coming days, the Russians will begin to suffer casualties in Syria--Asston Carter, Liberal Chickenhawk

"Representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry, in their evaluation of the actions of the US military and the various operations they are engaged worldwide, have never sunk down to the level to publicly express the hope for the death of US servicemen or, even less so, of ordinary Americans. Today’s announcement Pentagon chief Ashton Carter, unfortunately clearly illustrates the current level of political culture of some representatives of the US government or, should I say, their level of cynicism towards the rest of the world. I am sure that no US general would ever have allowed himself to express such feelings"

Bloggers posted images showing that the Moscow rally on October 11, aimed at forming "I Am A Patriot" in human letters, only gathered enough people for a single character.

Instead of the thousands trumpeted by Moscow 24, Varlamov said the rally drew only a handful of people despite organizers' efforts to entice passersby.

"The event was interesting in the sense that organizers decided to gather passersby who cared instead of busing in people," he wrote, referring to a scheme authorities are commonly accused of using to boost attendance at pro-government rallies. "Unfortunately, passersby showed no interest in the patriotic event and flatly refused to participate."

Indelicate- accusing me og using agitprop, a communist propaganda tool, just made me laugh genuinely more so than I have in a while. Thank you for that. I have two words for you; Ukraine & Crimea. Putin taking back Crimea and Ukraine are key. There is always more going on in what takes place in the world and to think that was a legitimate revolution going on is to be ignorant. So many things about that whole incident are not kosher in Denmark but to think that had anything to do with legitimate love for wanting Putin to rule them is laughable.

And I'm not discounting the US involvement and old Victoria Nulands comments regard F the EU and her admitting to putting $5 billion into the effort in Ukraine/. Not to mention the CIA director apparently going in the middle of the night and someone's gold sisappearing.

Like I said its FUBAR. But glad has bloody hands like everyone else.

"And I'm not discounting the US involvement and old Victoria Nuland....."

Well that's a bit like not discounting the role of the iceberg in the demise of the Titanic.

"The jihadi leader promised to pay 3 million euros ($3.42 million) to whomever kills Assad and 2 million euros ($2.28 million) to whomever kills Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, whose men are fighting along with Assad's forces."

 

I guess he got his helicopter money already?   When do we get ours?  Remember folks, clean drugs and dirty whores... not the other way around.  You can use condoms on the whores...
