The Fall Of The Unipower: Russia Is Defeating More Than ISIS In Syria

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Paul Craig Roberts,

The distinguished and knowledgeable international commentator William Engdahl, in a superb statement, has expressed the view I gave you that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech on September 28 at the 70th anniversary of the United Nations changed the balance of power in the world. Until Putin’s speech the world was intimidated by the Washington Bully. Resistance to Washington brought swift retribution. In the Middle East and Africa it brought economic sanctions and military invasions that destroyed entire countries. In France and other US vassal states it brought multi-billion dollar confiscations of bank net worth as the price of not following Washington’s policies toward other countries.

Other countries felt powerless in the face of the arrogant hegemonic Unipower, which from time to time replied to noncompliance with threats, such as US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage delivered to Pakistan, to bomb noncompliant countries “back to the stone age.”

President Putin of Russia brought all that to end on September 28. He stood up before the world in the presence of the overflowing hubris of the hegemon and belled the cat.

Putin denounced Washington’s threat to the sovereignty, and therefy the freedom, of peoples and countries. He denounced the heartless criminality of Washington’s destruction of the lives of millions of peoples on the basis of nothing other than Washington’s own arrogance. He denouced the illegality of Washington’s assauts on the sovereignty of other peoples, and declared that Russia can no longer tolerate this state of affairs in the world.

Two days later he took over the war in Syria and began exterminating the Washington financed and equiped Islamic State. Cruise missiles launched from the Caspian Sea hit ISIL targets with pinpoint accuracy and showed Washington’s EU vassals that Washington’s ABM system could not protect them if Europe permitted Washington to force Europe into conflict with Russia.

Washington’s response was more lies: “the missiles hit Iran,” said the idiots in Washington. The entire world laughed at the lie. Washington, some said, is whistling past its empire’s own graveyard.

Putin’s declaration of multi-polarity was seconded by the President of China, who said in his understated mild way that every country must participate in shaping the future and not just follow the leadership of one.

The hegemonic Unipower ceased to exist on September 28.

This is a sea change. It will affect the behavior of every government. Even some of the craven vassals states, whose “leaders” are bought-and-paid-for, will move toward a more independent foreign policy.

The remaining danger is the crazed American neoconservatives. I know many of them. They are completely insane ideologues. This inhuman filth has controlled the foreign policy of every US government since Clinton’s second term. They are a danger to all life on earth. Look at the destruction they have wreaked in the former Yugoslavia, in Ukraine, in Georgia and South Ossetia, in Africa, in Afghanistan and the Middle East. The American people were too brainwashed by lies and by political impotence to do anything about it, and Washington’s vassals in Europe, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan had to pretend that this policy of international murder was “bringing freedom and democracy.”

The crazed filth that controls US foreign policy is capable of defending US hegemony with nuclear weapons. The neoconsevatives must be removed from power, arrested, and put on international trial for their horrendous war crimes before they defend their hegemony with Armageddon.

Neoconservatives and their allies in the military/security complex make audacious use of false flag attacks. These evil people are capable of orchestrating a false flag attack that propells the US and Russia to war.

The neocons are also capable of plotting Putin’s assassination. The crazed John McCain, whom idiotic Arizonians keep returning to the US Senate, has publicly called for Putin’s death, as have other former federal officials, such as former CIA official Herbert E. Meyer, who publicly called for Putin’s removal “wih a bullet hole in the back of his head.” I am confident that the neoconservatives are plotting Putin’s assassination with their Chechen terrorist friends. Unlike the US president, Putin often presents himself in open situations.

*  *  *

Here is William Engdahl’s superb statement from the New Eastern Outlook, October 15, 2015.  It is clear that the neoconservatives are not sufficiently realistic to accept this change in the power balance and will resist it to the point of war.

Putin is Defeating More than ISIS in Syria — William Engdahl

Russia and its President, Vladimir Putin, a little more than a year ago, in July 2014 were the focus of attention in Europe and North America, accused, without a shred of forensic evidence, of shooting down an unarmed civilian Malaysian airliner over eastern Ukraine. The Russians were deemed out to restore the Soviet Union with their agreement to the popular referendum of Crimean citizens to annex into the Russian Federation and not Ukraine. Western sanctions were being thrown at Russia by both Washington and the EU. People spoke of a new Cold War. Today the picture is changing, and profoundly. It is Washington that is on the defensive, exposed for the criminal actions it has been doing in Syria and across the Middle East, including creating the recent asylum crisis in Germany and large parts of the EU.

 

As a student of international politics and economics for most of my adult life, I must say the emotional restraint that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government have shown against tasteless ad hominem attacks, from people such as Hillary Clinton who likened Putin to Adolf Hitler, is remarkable. But more than restraint is required to bring our world from the brink or some might say, the onset of a World War III. Brilliant and directed action is essential. Here something extraordinary has taken place in the very few days since President Vladimir Putin’s September 28, UNGA speech in New York.

 

What he said . . .

 

What Putin said to the UN General Assembly must be noted to put what he and Russia did in the days immediately following into clear focus. First of all he made clear what the international law behind the UN Charter means and that Russia is scrupulously abiding by the Charter in actions in Syria. Russia, unlike the US, has been formally asked by the legitimate Syrian government to aid its war against terror.

 

To the UN delegates and heads of state Putin stated, “The decisions debated within the UN are either taken in the form of resolutions or not. As diplomats say, they either pass or they don’t. Any action taken by circumventing this procedure is illegitimate and constitutes a violation of the UN Charter and contemporary international law.”

 

He continued, “We all know that after the end of the Cold War the world was left with one center of dominance, and those who found themselves at the top of the pyramid were tempted to think that, since they are so powerful and exceptional, they know best what needs to be done and thus they don’t need to reckon with the UN, which, instead of rubber-stamping the decisions they need, often stands in their way.”

 

Putin followed this with a clear message to Washington and NATO governments on the subject of national sovereignty, something anathema to many who embrace the Nirvana supposed to come from globalization, homogenization of all to one level: “What is the meaning of state sovereignty, the term which has been mentioned by our colleagues here?” Putin rhetorically asked. “It basically means freedom, every person and every state being free to choose their future. By the way, this brings us to the issue of the so-called legitimacy of state authorities. You shouldn’t play with words and manipulate them. In international law, international affairs, every term has to be clearly defined, transparent and interpreted the same way by one and all.”

 

Putin added, “We are all different, and we should respect that. Nations shouldn’t be forced to all conform to the same development model that somebody has declared the only appropriate one. We should all remember the lessons of the past. For example, we remember examples from our Soviet past, when the Soviet Union exported social experiments, pushing for changes in other countries for ideological reasons, and this often led to tragic consequences and caused degradation instead of progress.”

 

Those few words succinctly point to what is fundamentally wrong in the international order today. Nations, above all the one proclaiming herself Sole Superpower, Infallible Hegemon, the USA, have arrogantly moved after the collapse of the main adversary, the Soviet Union in 1990, to create what can only be called a global totalitarian empire, what G.H.W. Bush in his September 11, 1991 address to Congress called a New World Order. I believe with conviction that borders do matter, that respect for different cultures, different historical experiences is essential in a world of peace. That is as much true with nations as with individual human beings. We seem to have forgotten that simple notion amid all the wars of the past decades. Vladimir Putin reminds us.

 

Then the Russian president goes to the heart of the matter. He lays bare the true activities of the Obama Administration in Syria and the Middle East in arming and training “moderate” Islamist terrorists to attack Washington’s bête noire, Syria’s duly-elected and recently re-elected President, Bashar al Assad.

 

Putin states, “instead of learning from other people’s mistakes, some prefer to repeat them and continue to export revolutions, only now these are “democratic” revolutions. Just look at the situation in the Middle East and Northern Africa…problems have been piling up for a long time in this region, and people there wanted change. But what was the actual outcome? Instead of bringing about reforms, aggressive intervention rashly destroyed government institutions and the local way of life. Instead of democracy and progress, there is now violence, poverty, social disasters and total disregard for human rights, including even the right to life.”

 

Then in a remark addressed to Washington and their NGO Color Revolutions known as the Arab Spring, Putin pointedly asks, “I’m urged to ask those who created this situation: do you at least realize now what you’ve done?“

 

Putin, without naming it, addresses the US and NATO role in creating ISIS, noting with precision the curious anomaly that the sophisticated new US Treasury unit to conduct financial sanctions against terrorist organizations, has utterly ignored the funding sources of ISIS, their oil sales facilitated by the Turkish President’s own family to name just one. The Russian President stated, “…the Islamic State itself did not come out of nowhere. It was initially developed as a weapon against undesirable secular regimes. Having established control over parts of Syria and Iraq, Islamic State now aggressively expands into other regions. It seeks dominance in the Muslim world and beyond…The situation is extremely dangerous. In these circumstances, it is hypocritical and irresponsible to make declarations about the threat of terrorism and at the same time turn a blind eye to the channels used to finance and support terrorists, including revenues from drug trafficking, the illegal oil trade and the arms trade.

 

And what Putin is doing . . .

 

Russia in the last weeks has completely out-maneuvered the diabolical, and they are diabolical, agenda of the Obama Administration not only in Syria but also in the entire Middle East and now in the EU with unleashing the flood of refugees. He openly reached out to invite Obama in their New York September 30 meeting to cooperate together in defeating ISIS. Obama stubbornly insisted that first Assad must go, despite the fact that Christine Wormuth, the Pentagon Undersecretary responsible for the Syrian war, confirmed Russian statements about Assad’s essential role today in any defeat of ISIS. She told the US Senate that Assad’s military “still has considerable strength,” adding, “it’s still the most powerful military force on the ground. The assessment right now is the regime is not in imminent danger of falling.”

 

Now come the howls of protest from neo-con warhawks, like the ever-ready-for-war Senator John McCain, chairman of the NGO International Republican Institute of the democratic revolution exporting US-backed NGO, National Endowment for Democracy. Or we hear flaccid protests from President Obama. This is because Washington finds itself deeply exposed to the light of world scrutiny for backing terrorists in Syria against a duly-elected state leader and government. The US warhawks accuse Russia of hitting “the moderate opposition” or civilians.

 

Emperor’s New Clothes . . .

 

Russia’s Putin is playing the role ever so elegantly, even gracefully, of the small boy in the Hans Christian Anderson classic fairy tale from 1837, The Emperor’s New Clothes. The boy stands with his mother amid thousands of other villagers in the crowd outside the vain Emperor’s palace balcony, where the disassociated king struts around the balcony naked, thinking he is wearing a magnificent new suit of clothes. The boy shouts, to the embarrassment of all servile citizens who pretend his clothes are magnificent, “Mother, look the Emperor has no clothes!”

 

What do I mean? In the first four days of precision bombing of select sites in Syria Russian advanced fighter jets firing Kh-29L air-to-surface laser-guided missiles that strike targets with a precision less than two meters, managed to destroy key ISIS command centers, munitions depots and vital infrastructure. According to the Russian Defense Ministry official reports, with photos, Su-34 bombers attacked an ISIS special training camp and munition depot near Al-Tabqa, Ar-Raqqah province,” a critical ISIS outpost captured in August, 2014 after bitter battles. “As a result of explosion of the munition depot, the terrorist training camp was completely destroyed,” the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman stated. Russian Su-25 jets have also attacked training camp of the Islamic State in the Syrian Idlib, destroying a workshop for explosive belt production.

 

Moscow states its air force has “engaged 3 munition, fuel and armament depots of the illegal armed groups. KAB-500 aviation bombs detonated the munition and armament,” and they used BETAB-500 concrete-piercing bombs to destroy four command posts of the ISIS armed groups. The facilities with terrorists are completely destroyed,” the Moscow spokesman added. Russia’s aviation conducted 20 flights and carried out 10 airstrikes against facilities of the Islamic State (ISIL) terrorist group in the past 24 hours. Then Moscow announced they had also hit key outposts of other terror groups such as the Al Qaeda-franchise, Al Nusra Front.

 

These are the so-called “moderates” that McCain and the Washington warhawks are weeping over. Washington has been creating what it calls the “New” Syrian Forces (NSF), which they claim is composed of “moderate” terrorists, euphemistically referred to as “rebels.” Imagine how recruitment talks go: CIA recruiter, “Mohammed, are you a moderate Islamist? Why yes, my dear CIA trainer. Please take me, train me and arm me in the fight against the ruthless dictator Assad and against ISIS. I’m on your side. You can trust me…”

 

In late September it was reported that Major Anas Obaid a.k.a. Abu Zayd, on completing his CIA training in Turkey, defected from the train-and-equip program to join Jabhat al-Nusra (Al Qaeda in Syria) immediately on entering Syria. Incredibly, US officials admit that Washington does not track or exercise command-and-control of its Jihadist proxies once they enter Syria. Abu Zayd’s defection after being trained in advanced warfare techniques by the US, is typical. Other elements of the New Syrian Forces directly handed all their weapons to Nusra upon entering Syrian territory at the town of Atareb at the end of September.

 

These latest “moderate” defections to join Al Qaeda’s Al-Nusra Front affiliate in Syria come less than two weeks after Gen. Lloyd Austin III, head of the US “war against ISIS,” during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Syria, admitted that the US military program that intended produce 5,400 trained fighters a year has so far only resulted in “four or five” who still remain on the ground and active in combat. The rest have all joined ISIS or Al Nusra Front of Al Qaeda, the US-backed “moderate opposition” to ISIL.

 

What the successful Russian precision airstrikes have done is expose in all its ugly nakedness the Emperor’s New Clothes. For more than one year, the Obama Administration claims it has committed the most awesome airpower on the planet allegedly to destroy ISIS, which has been described as a “ragtag band of militants running around the desert in basketball shoes.”

 

Curiously, until last week, ISIS has only expanded its web of power in Syria and Iraq under US bombings. Now, within 72 hours, the Russian military, launching only 60 bombing runs in 72 hours, hitting more than 50 ISIS targets, has brought the ISIS combatants into what the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman described as a state of “panic” where more than 600 have deserted. And, according to Moscow, the fight is only beginning, expected, they say to last three to four months.

 

The Obama Administration has been training terrorists of Al Qaeda/Al Nusra, allegedly to fight ISIS, much like the disgraced General David Petraeus did in Iraq and Afghanistan along with Obama’s special ISIS coordinator, the just-resigned General John Allen. The US-trained “moderate” terrorists were being readied, it’s now clear to all the world, in reality, to battle Assad and open the way for a Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Syria and a real plunge into darkness for the world if that were to succeed.

 

Now, with the truth in the open, exposed by the remarkable successes of a handful of Russian fighter jets in four days against ISIS, accomplishing more than the US “anti-ISIS coalition” in more than one year, it is clear to the world Washington has been playing a dirty double game.

 

Now that hypocritical Obama Administration mask has been blown off with the precision hit of a Russian laser-guided Kh-29L missile. As German and other EU governments have admitted, much to the strong objection of Washington, Putin has demonstrated that Russia is the essential part of any peaceful resolution of the Syria war. That in turn has a huge bearing on the current asylum-seeker crisis in Germany and other parts of the EU. It also has a huge bearing on prospects for world peace. The Norwegian Parliament’s Nobel Peace Prize Committee, rather than consider John Kerry, might consider Vladimir Putin and Russian Defense Minister, Sergey Shoygu, for the prize.

One of the benefits of the looming dollar crisis is that the gigantic, lumbering empire Washington has erected around the world will fold like a lawn chair.  If you can't pay your soldiers, the empire is toast.

When the middle class has been effectively eliminated by the crazed neocons and we have to create something from the ashes, we'll have to become a normal country again.  We'll have to produce actual things and trade them with others in exchange for stuff they produce.

No more interventions, false flags, invasions, occupations, torture, spying.  That shit is expensive and we won't be able to afford it.

My son is a highly placed Contractor in Afghanistan for the last thirteen years or so.

In spite of my, his mothers, and his wife's pleas to get his ass home, be a dad and husband, and resume a normal life...it looks as if he plans to stay.

My fear is when the lawn chair folds, he'll be abandoned in place like the tanks, the toyotas, the white gym shoes...and the vast amounts of arms.  Something to be siezed by the JV team.

 

I don't want that phone call.

[About ten years ago we had that helicopter go down with something like ten americans on it.  My son was on it.    The night before, he chatted with me on MSChat telling me about the plans for the next day.  Going into work I heard about the crash and the deaths. 

I had to sit through an eight hour credit meeting while I expected to see a military car pull into the yard.  It was the worst day of my life.  I got back to my desk and had a message from my wife, David had called.  He had his wisdom teeth pulled, broke his finger the day before and had the flu.  His military boss offered to take his place.

Had to rage and cry at HR for a while.  That sort of message, delivered promptly, would have changed my whole day.]

are you fucking nuts?

obama takes orders from the pentagon and the mic's play them all.

like all presidents since truman the 'cia' is the (*all)presidents sole`army [caesars 'praetorian guard] protectorate.

if not for the 'mic' in america today, our 'gdp' would be stagnant. there is no manufacturing left nor industrial sectors left.

since bush's #41 & #43, nixon, ford, reagan (all fucking neocons) have gutted the country! clinton and obama are no worse,... but remember clinton was set up by the ---'s with lewinsky that basically shuttered his presidency? the GOP were on a witch hunt.

sadly, obama wasn't qualified for the job, but america was so fucking pissed-off at 'emperor [the decider] bush baby,..they would have elected anyone. obama was handed the lousiest hand any president ever was given and that goes as far back as to harry truman. truman hated the 'mic's' but contrary to popular belief it was eisehower that gave them their wings [say one thing and mean the opposite, as in do as i say but not as i do?]. eisenhower hated truman because truman eventually saw through him as a military adventurist.[think korean war aftermath, and vietnam etel.] so take it easy on obama in regards to fucking-up. for it was bush #41 & #43 who were really the ones responsible for america's demise. but, obama is still the biggest idiot toi ever hold high office because he recruited gates and ex-bush strategist in his first two years which tells you about his administrations qualification.  

ironically we've got bush #45, jebadia ready to fuck the country into a fascist dictatorship of the 3rd world kind!?! or, hillary that's nothing moar than an idiot that thinks she is entitled [democracies entitlement program for the 0.001%] to the empress crown. afterall she's qualified. just asked the british queeny elizabeth?

the best thing that could happen,... is for america to get a strong/ dose/ shot of 'don't-do-stupid-reality', that will kick`start the plebians into paying attention to home before we don't have the financial resources to buy toilet paper.

so shut up about presidents, because the fucking bush's, cheney's, rumsfeld's, perle's, nuland/kagan's, wolfowitz's, albrights, brzezinski, kissinger's, libbey's, reagan's, rice, powell's, all general's/ admiral's on the mic's dole as corporate board members rape the country while the 'gop/ dnc gives us [the people] an ultimatum to either vote for hillary or bush...OR ELSE.

1) The Assad regime could not halt the advance of the desert rats on its own and was clearly on the way into oblivion until it was rescued by its patrons.

2) According to these reports that you all rejoice in, Russia has easily sent ISIS reeling with a very, very modest air campaign of 20 sorties a day over an area the size of Washington State.

3) Since Assad could not handle ISIS et al, yet a handful of airstrikes has totally changed the calculus, this leads me to believe that the Assad dictatorship was even weaker than the paper tigers of the desert and will never be able to stand on its own ever again.

4) Whatever it was before this intervention, the husk of Syria is now nothing more than a Russo-Iranian colony with a figurehead leader who will serve only as long as his new overlords think he is of use to them.

5) The primary target of the splashy Shock and Awe lite campaign waged by the Russian expeditionary force is not ISIS but the will to fight of Obama and the Saudis. Russia hopes to persuade them to not escalate by showing a dazzling bag of tricks and leaving the unspoken suggestion that Russia can keep this up indefinitely-- which it clearly cannot.

6) The outcome of the campaign now rests in how the anti-Assad forces choose to respond. If they elect to fold up the show and go home, Assad stays. If they prefer to marshal a response, which I believe they will, it will take time to move the necessary resources into the theater of operations. I do not believe that a head-to-head matchup is in the cards, but I do assume that the cheap, disposable desert rats will suddenly find themselves in possession of the means necessary to drive off the Russian air force and inflict casualties on the Russian base personnel.

7) At this stage, Russia needs to destroy the anti-Assad forces' will to fight before they (and their shadow backers) suck Russia and Iran into a prohibitively expensive campaign of attrition and costly nation-state maintenance payments to a bankrupt regime that has a large, expensive bureaucracy and lots of hungry people to feed.

Feels like its 1965 all over again.

The world is full of empires and vassals, as well as proto empires and future vassals. I was making a simple staff analysis on where this is likely to lead, not on whether I think that Empire A is more philosophically pure than Empire B.

If it makes you feel any better, I think Syria ends up as a vassal to one bloc or another as a result of this situation, but do not anticipate seeing a nation with the freedom to act on its own desires at any time in the foreseeable future. I would prefer to see the Syrian people free of all Dictators and Presidents-for-life. I would prefer to see bureaucrats worldwide have to go find honest work. I would like to see the wealth of a nation flow into the pockets of the individual citizens and not into the clutches of a grasping government who promises to spend it wisely on their behalf.

Tarabel does have some points.  While Russia has already shown the US to be full of shit, the way that the US could turn the tables on Russia would be to arrange for Russia to either not crush the rebels and pull out before expending too many resources on Syria, or to set the stage for Russia to get sucked into a protracted war, much like their (or our) Afghanistan, or our Vietnam.  The wild card here is Iran.  Beating back the rebels is beating back a direct threat on their doorstep.  They have little choice, because after Syria falls, there is a good chance that Iran is next in the cross-hairs. That's not the only next move that the US could make, but it is a likely one.

 

If the US wants to win this geopolitical maneuver, they need Syria to fall.  If it does not, and if Russia and Iran crush the FSA, ISIS, etc... quickly, it will be much like the Battle of Midway.  But the state department, CIA, et all, do not think that way.  If they lose in Syria, they'll still likely move on to trying to destabilizing Iran, or whatever poor fucks are next on their hit list.  (I'd guess Iran, but I haven't seen the order of their hit list.) Or even worse, they'll move on to some really stupid, unpredictable shit.  It almost feels like this is the "mad man theory" of war in play, but I think it is a dying neo-empire grasping at straws, doing stupid shit that nobody believes that any rational entity would possibly do.  What I'm saying here is that I do not believe the US government to be a rational entity.  It is either going to go on with some fucktard plan that screws us all, or it is going to go off the rails and really blow your minds by showing you what full retard really means.  The most surprising move that the US could make is to say "Ya know what?  We fucked up.  Please give our people a few years to get our affairs in order by changing how our economy works, and then yeah, go ahead and kill the dollar." 

 

Regardless of what the next round brings, if Russia wins this round, yet has to come back from time to time to quell uprisings, there will be a price to be paid.  That price will make Syria Russia's vassal.  And Syria will be happy to pay that price.

Ah here's the problem. When attacked you can't simply defend, If you do, you will simply be attacked again. You MUST respond and remove the threat. The US weakness and it's strength is the dollar.

The only thing still giving the dollar it's status today, is Saudi. When that domino topples so does the US, The next stage is already in play. Expect uprisings, social discontent and regime change in the second largest oil producing nation in the world.

The neo(conservatives/liberals) have fucked up on a monumental scale.

We'll see. Al Qaeda and the Taliban got flattened by the vastly more lethal US effort against them but they lived to fight another day. As I stated above, the war is not over yet and has a very long way to go.

Putin has shown his fastball to the crowd. Now it's time for the other side to pitch an inning. The decision on where this goes from here is no longer in his hands but in someone else's.

Farouk, the pious, moderate Muslim of the Muslim Brotherhood /s, has been driven out of Syria.  The Syrian Army that no longer has to hide from Nato bombing raids have begun their advance.  Hezbollah, which repelled the Israelis from Lebonan three times, is working with them.  And the Revolutionary Guard is not a bunch of slackers.

The reason that S&A is so effective is that the Russians are actually bombing ISIS, not funding and supplying them.

Assad will survive.  Now the House of Saud, I'm watching that bunch of pious, moderate Muslims.

Assuming that the anti-Assad coalition folds, Assad will survive. I believe I mentioned this.

But only until his new overlords decide that Syria needs a new face in front of the camera, then out he goes. He is no longer a King, as his father was, but now merely a Duke with fealty due to the ones who saved his castle for him.

But, as I also mentioned, Putin has made his big move and it is now up to the other side to craft a response. Again, I'll say that the war is not over but merely getting cranked up.

Just a shot in the dark, but I would not be surprised if all those missing manpads from Libya suddenly resurfaced in Syria. Gasp! Where did those come from?

President Putin of Russia brought all that to end on September 28. He stood up before the world in the presence of the overflowing hubris of the hegemon and belled the cat.

Indeed he did. But he did it only after Washington burned every bridge there was in Eastern Europe. He watched Washington perform a coup in Kiev using over 30 thousand fascists trained in US funded camps in Poland. Then the false flag MH-17. This was the kicker! Putin saw all those people blown to hell and he knew who did it and why it was done. Washington left Putin zero choice. The massive sanctions program that followed was an act of war by any standards.

So indeed, Putin walked over to Obama the puppet emperor of the world and tinkled the bell around his neck.

How could he dare do that? Here is where the lesson is. He could do it, because at the end of the day his country, if attacked by Washington nuts, could expunge all life in this country, mutal suicide. BUT, our rich elites don't want to die! They want to enjoy their spoils. So Putin could stand up, backed up by a large and modernized Nuclear Force, backed by anti missile and anti aircraft systems of the very best quality.

LESSON, only a nuclear armed nation can resist when the empire comes to take it's due. Syria was the line in the sand, as was Crimea and Donbass.

Western media missed this story, but Russians did not. "Putin was prepared to use nuclear weapons if NATO tried to take Crimea." He said so, in Russia, to Russians, not in western media. This was the line he would never let be crossed.

The US MENA foreign policy mess unwind, especially as it relates to Syria, may very well hasten the financial dollar hegemony unwind.  And the backstop, which was to be the TPP, is facing considerable headwinds.  Without this backstop, the hegemonic unwind could very well reach right back to the homeland.  The forward looking thinkers must be rather concerned at this point.  And that is precisely the problem, for when they get concerned, the neo cons have their leashes looseed, and the mad dogs of war start to bark and growl.  And all the while, an ever increasing number of countries start to privately contemplate - are we truly mad ......

Is Russia essentially jamming all ISIS communications plus all the phony See Eye Aye mercs like Xe, Academie, Spec Ops, Blackwater, ISISS, ISIL, NUSRA, Daesh?

If Russia is jamming most communications in Syria then the terrorists and our loveable "moderate" terrorists from Langley will be blind and (even) dumb(er).

I thought the Russians would do this with ECM and jamming stuff that no one has seen yet.  The only things that might work is satellite phones but the Russians may find those in real time and hit them.

Also could the Russians blind US satellites over Syria?

Dear Syrper‘s here some classified frontline news:

At his latest podcast, our dear Webster Tarpley, interviews Thierry Meyssan, who been living in Damascus for the past 4y, being there some sort of renegade diplomate I guess.

The interview starts at min 29:00 (World Crisis Radio, October 17, 2015, found at http://tarpley.net/world-crisis-radio/).

This week Mr. Meyssan inform us of some interesting news, that the Russian has established an electronic jamming zone from Latakia and 300km onwards, and doing that with tools that have never seen before.
Because this new device, NATO forces has NO communication to their scum terrorist and nether has the scums any communication to their Al-Saud overlords. In other words, everything is blacked out, and everything is in chaos.

And because this jamming zone does not reach east of Raqqa, therefore Russia chose to use their Caspian sea missiles frigates, so to surprise the local True-Evil-Filth-Of-The-Earth terrorists.
Mr. Meyssan informs us also, that the Russians has been heavily bombarding the fortified positions of our much hated enemies, and that by now, about all of these positions - which financing and construction the Pedophile Saudis oversaw - has been pulverized.

Miraculous news – for sure, the people of Syria are the phoenix our age.

P.S. Ziad can you confirm anything about this jamming device?

Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.

This character of this article is part of the explantion why the US, most unfortunately, will be dragged screaming and crying into war once again, but will ultimately prevail, despite terrible loss and destruction. The defeatist, pacifist, gulit-ridden or simply delusional left wing voted the man for the times, President Obama into office. He gave them what they wanted. That included abandoning that most ancient of wisdoms "If you seek peace, prepare for war". That implies not only the means but also the will to defeat one's traditional enemies by all means, diplomatic and military, but never at the expense of the latter. Obama's clarion signal was to withdraw and avoid force at all costs and the US' enemies predicatably seized the intiative as you are now witnessing. The US is no island and homeland security will be sorely tested. It gets much worse and the greatest collateral damage at this moment is the loss of confidence and faith by the US' traditional allies, most importantly Israel, which is the canary for others. 

These words will not be popular with the liberal class who remain moribound in their sweet but naive outlook. I too would like to believe in the innate goodness of mankind. Meanwhile I will prepare for the worst and leave no one in doubt that I intend to protect my strategic interests.

Well said : Pax Americana in meltdown right in front of our eyes.

I've been saying and SEEING this for the last 10 years : since GWB's disastrous invasion to ring fence the Oil patch under NWO hubris.

What you sow you now reap Neo-con Usa! And the hubris went ballistic when the Neo-cons destroyed their own poster child : WS's derivative pumped capitalism. Lehman 2008 triggered the great reset.

Putin is just the son of Charles de Gaulle; in his own neo-Romanoff despotic way.

Lets hope he doesn't go Empire crazy and make a Françafrique type bastard child like de Gaulle did !

But that is another story that still has to play out.

I wish you guys would stop the premature high fiving before the movie is offer. This only ends well with the collapse of the dollar and no ww3. So far america is still behaving like a angry dog frothing from the mouth running loose in the neighbouhood...see china. Until its been safely caught or transquilized id hold off on the highfives. 

My bet is  america and friends will be leaving a trap for russia as they advance. Thats why i said before iran and all the ground troops better have a massive army to occupy these areas after the bombing run. Thousands isnt going to cut it...they need at least 50k to 100k and china for added airsupport

I agree with you on Washington laying a few traps for Putin but he may be smarter than they are.

I can't see why there needs to be a massive army of occupation after the terrorists are blown away and Assad is restored to power. Keep in mind that Russia now has a fully functioning air base on Syria's west coast and a naval base close by. These not only give Russia a foothold in the Eastern Med for the future but also facilities to deal with any further Western terrorist invasions of Syria.

My full theory on MH-17 is that it was shot down by Ukraine air force jets, first with an air-to-air missile and then by 30mm cannonfire which is a standard fitment to these fighter jets. This explains why the plane was diverted by Kiev air traffic control and ordered down to an altitude accessible by Ukraine fighter jets.

I believe Ukraine wrongly believed it was Putin's own plane on his way home from a BRICS meeting in Brazil/Fortaleza. The colors of the two planes are remarkably similar. The aim was to bring the plane down on the Russian side of the Ukr/Russian border to help the propaganda that Russians had shot it down by mistake or as an assassination.

The plot went wrong because the missile hit one of the Boeing 777's engines which caused it to veer away from the frontier and it eventually came down inside Ukraine. The rest is history.

The Dutch investigation is a huge cover-up and is really controlled by Ukraine. No report can be issued without their explicit approval.

you think a fighter jet can't go as high as a commercial airliner?

From what I've read about the SU-xx fighter plane used in the Ukr air force, it has a ceiling of 30,000 feet which is lower than most commercial jets fly at.

If Putin ACCEPTS that pisspot then I will hold Judgement, as it will be in the same league with the likes of Kissinger, Menahim Begin,etc etc, and  Obama no less.

I hope Putin refuses and rejects such derisory offer.

Syria is just the beginning, Russia will back Iran in Iraq and eventually Saudi Arabia.  With the Saudi's threatened, oil prices will soar and if S.A. falls it will mean the end of the Petro dollar.  Keep your eye on the ball, it's the U.S. that Putin hates, he is not capable of compassion and does not care about Syrian refugees or fighting terrorists. It's about getting even with the U.S. for the fall of the USSR and now with a weak U.S. President he will take advantage of the next year while Obama is still in office.

I'll take a Byzantine dictatorship over the Islamic jihadis, thank-you.  You're right, Saudi Arabia will fall within a decade, and when it does, the price of oil will hit the stratosphere and continue into orbit.  The U.S. economy will go to hell in a handbasket.  We will have only ourselves to blame . . . except we all know that except for a very small circle in Washington some of whom are friends of some of my family's friends, we have absolutely nothing to do with setting American foreign policy.  At best we can send them a message now and then, but they tend to be deaf to any message they don't want to hear.

So, cheers to Putin!  May his bodyguards be ever-vigilant, and his reign long and prosperous!

It seems like NATO’s reckless and foolish refusal to coordinate its air sorties over Syria with the Russians could be mitigated by the behind-the-scenes  mechanism of the joint Israeli-Russian hotline, with Israel playing the role of a go between Russia and NATO. This will allow NATO to “save face” by not coordinating publicly with the Russians on the one hand, while avoiding the perils of the latest Russian jamming system which has just been deployed in Latakia, on the other hand.

Russia’s Awesome Responsibility

TND Guest Contributor: F. William Engdahl 

The Russian decision to proceed with military support to the Damascus government has shifted the global geopolitical map significantly. For the moment Washington is choosing to react with words, no doubt planning carefully its next move. The Russian intervention has exposed the fraud of the US position in the Middle East and shown the world that Washington lies, that she supports the very terrorists who allegedly were behind the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and at the Pentagon. The decisive question now is what strategic plan does Moscow have to foster world peace after the defeat of ISIS?

From the standpoint of tactics, Russia has made a brilliant, unexpected move against the war agenda of certain very bad circles in the USA by her invitation to Washington to form a common coalition to combat terrorists in Syria, to wage a real “war on terror,” an offer immediately rejected by President Barack Obama. By accepting the invitation of the legitimate government of Bashar al-Assad to help combat the grave danger of ISIS, Al Qaeda (al-Nusra Front), and numerous other outlaw terrorist gangs, most made up of foreign mercenary psychopaths from at least 80 foreign countries, Russia is scrupulously abiding by the UN Charter. The US, which has been bombing a sovereign nation for more than one year without permission, is not abiding by international law.
