The French Campaign Begins: Hollande Launches "Massive Bombardment" Of ISIS Capital
Moments ago, reports began to surface on social media that the ISIS "capital" of Raqqa was under siege from the sky.
It wasn't hard to guess whose planes were carrying out the strikes. As we noted ten days ago, in a statement by the French presidency following a meeting of its defense cabinet, the government said it would send its only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle warship, to the eastern Mediterranean for operations against Isis in both Syria and Iraq. And as you might imagine, that's not the only place Paris has warplanes stationed in the region.
Just yesterday we said that with the only French aircraft carrier already en route to Syria, meant to support to mission against Assad ISIS, France is oddly prepared for an all out attack to take out the Syrian president. Most importantly, it now has the outraged, incensed public's blessing to do just that.
Sure enough, we just got confirmation that France, with the help of US intelligence, has commenced a "major" bombing campaign against Raqqa.
AFP are reporting a "massive bombardment" of the IS stronghold of Raqqa tonight by French jets, sourced to the Defence Ministry
— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) November 15, 2015
And so it begins.
From WSj, earlier today:
The U.S. is expanding intelligence sharing with France and has agreed to speed the delivery of detailed targeting information in support of possible French retaliatory strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, officials said.
In response to Friday’s coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris, the U.S. has started sharing so-called “targeting packages” with France, identifying Islamic State targets for strikes by French warplanes. It also plans to roll back restrictions that impede intelligence sharing to make it easier for France to intensify its air campaign.
Officials said the changes amount to giving France a seat at the table alongside America’s most-trusted intelligence-sharing partners in developing future target packages for strikes against Islamic State.
France has fighter aircraft positioned at bases in the region, in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, which could be used in any retaliatory strikes against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq once targets have been identified.
Of course the US has supposedly been "bombarding" Raqqa and other ISIS strongholds for more than year, to little effect. It's not exactly like Raqqa is the Japanese mainland ca. World War II. As we noted earlier today, we're no West Point graduates, but it seems likely that a relatively small ground contingent could take the city with the help of the Kurds in relatively short order (see the recent experience with Sinjar):
And it's not like the US or the French have to worry about running into the Russians in the course of providing air cover. After all, Russia has for now pretty much conceded that airspace to the US while Moscow and Tehran restore Assad's power base in the West. Just take a look at the Russian airstrike map (it's not up to the minute, but you get the idea):
So now that the French airstrikes have officially begun, the next question is whether the attacks in Paris are enough to get the public behind sending in the ground troops to finally end this ridiculous charade and take Raqqa once and for all.
Of course that blows the whole anti-Assad gambit wide open. That is, once Raqqa falls and ISIS retreats into Iraq, what then? Then you'll have the French in the east and the Russians and Iranians in the west, and by then, Russia and Iran will have probably taken Aleppo so everyone will be just be staring at each other with Assad looking nervously back and forth in the middle.
At that point, it's either NATO versus Russia and Iran for the political future of Syria, or someone packs up and leaves and then the suits reconvene in Vienna. And given that Russia has an airbase at Latakia and a naval base at Tartus, and given that NATO would have to pry Damascus out the Ayatollah's cold dead hands, we think we know who may blink first...

This (all this) cannot end well.
Oh stop it! Just because nobody has a clue as to who's on whose side anymore has nothing to do with it.
France/Nato wanted to enter war in Syria, needed a pretext. Pretext happend / was allowed to happen yesterday. Rest is noise. Brace for WWIII.

Zero sides anymore...i cant truely trust any country.
.
Its Us vs. them.
Bombing refugees, I mean terrorists already in Paris would be a better idea.
I Can See A WHOLE Lotta Shit Headed Straight Towards A High Speed Fan...
Maybe the Russians should just bird-dog the Frogs and make each strike a two-fer.
Sure enough, we just got confirmation that France, with the help of US intelligence, has commenced a "major" bombing campaign against Raqqa.
Gee, that didn't take long, less than 48 hours later, and France is already bombing Assad, ooops ISIS. If I didn't know better, I might believe that the attacks in Paris were staged to give a USSA proxy the 'justification' to illegally bomb another nation.
In Paris, you can wait hours for a waiter to serve you, and getting a drivers license can take months.But when it comes to bombing brown people, the French government moves in record time.
Will they limit their airstrikes to 35 hour work-weeks?...
If anyone ever doubted the value of a false-flag attack, this should put that to rest.
With the Islamization of France well under way they'll have to let the pilots land and pray to Mecca five times a day.
Either that or provide a separate compartment where the Muslim pilots can spread out a prayer rug while flying at 30,000 ft.
If they're Shia pilots they'll have no compunction against bombing their fellow Sunni muslims and scream Allah Akbar while doing it.
The Zionist want France back. How conveinent.
Civilians! This is your HOPE ending in FAILURE!!
For the price of 150 civilians .
France gets to go into former colony
France gets to increase police and check the far right appeal
US gets NATO support
Is real gets lebensraum/water in Golan
Russia Iran get checked
Assad feels the heat
Saudi gets it's pipeline
Germany gets its migrant slave labor
Its beautiful, if it weren't so Satanic
We're pretty sure it's French aircraft doing the attacking because several French Pilot's passports were found on the ground among the rubble.
It won't do any good unless they bomb the ISIS warrens in Europe as well.
Tel Aviv isn't in Europe, bro.
"Massive Bombardment of ISIS Capital"...which could include Langley, VA, Wash DC, the City of London, ^Tel Aviv^, somewhere in Turkey or Saudi Arabia, etc. WWIII is well underway, unbeknownst to most US residents.
Not to mention all the no-go zones in Sweden, France and all other countries where more than 1 muslim lives.
Invite the enemy to move in with you. Feed, clothe, and house them. Then bomb the shit out of their home country. What could go wrong?
Sooooo,
"on Oct 29, 2015, a panel on “The Shared 21st Century International Mission” featuring

former UK MI6 Chief John Sawers, and former
Israeli National Security Advisor Yaacov Amidror. They brought in, you guessed it,
Director of the French Directorate for External Security Bernard Bajolet.
I wonder what was discussed over dinner? “And make sure you have illegal immigrant terrorist drop a Syrian passport at crime scene…”
And bingo, some sacraficed dead frogs and we get the Jews revived war in Syria.
It's starting to get rediculas how bad these Jews want war.

Blotto's comment...
"Zero sides anymore... I cant truely trust any country."
There is an enemy, Blotto - and it's not a "country". It's that nation-within-every-nation that foments ALL of the ills that we are witnessing today. It has been their subversive M.O. since the dawn of recorded history. So, though the task be difficult... try to look for the cui bono in every "event", every "false flag", every pre-approved statement made by one of their puppets...
Use that brain God gave you - to think - rather than react. Your logical conclusions will inevitably lead you to one source.
Some have called them, "The money changers".
Maybe it's just me, but.....
If someone entered my neighborhood, bombed the shit out of my neighbors, killed some people, and it was discovered they had a group living in the area, wouldn't the logical thing to do would be to rid them from your OWN neighborhood first, instead of to start bombing huts in the sand in some far away land?
The whole thing stinks. There are radicals living in France and if the plot originated from within the country, which I believe it did, then shouldn't the solution be to eradicate them from your own country? Just not sure about this.
The US is really on the ball with this one, I mean, battle ready plans some 48 hours later 'n all.
I'm glad the French are bombing ISIS. America and Russia need all the help they can get. What we really need are more boots on the ground. The American empire will live forever. Suck on it, haters.
WW3's Archduke Ferdinand event was in Ukraine, just no one knows it yet. Keep an eye on Victoria Nuland, trouble tends to follow her closely.
WW3 already STARTED!

I can only agree with Mugatu.
"It won't do any good unless they bomb the ISIS warrens in Europe as well."
I'm not sure the EU would survive the French bombing the headquarters of MI6 and NATO.
Exactly my thoughts. Unless they immediately close all borders and round them all up and either send them back or put them in a humane location [detention camp] Europe will see more sad events. However, ISIS has already admitted more then 4,000 of their fighters have sneaked into Europe with the refugees. When they get a hold of all those kids who wanted to travel to the ME to join ISIS but now have they livign next door, it's gonna be a disaster as we have already seen.
The French need a re-do of the Knights Templar round-up of 13 Oct 1307.
Fortunately for ISIS, their headquarters was shielded and reinforced by a wall of passports. No damage reported.
The Most Disturbing Secret Of The Obama Administration
Here is a leaked broadcast that shows real and undeniable proof of Obama conspiring against our nation…
This the real reason why he doesn’t want boots on the ground against ISIS…
And why he agreed on the Iran nuclear deal.

A sovereign country actually acting like it has a right to defend itself?
This is bad. Very bad. Others might get ideas.
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.
Joseph Stalin
macholatte this is identical to Nazi Germany attacking itself and then putting the blame on Poland as the excuse for that invasion and the beginning of WWII. Note the German false flag was outed and under Nuremberg Code this act of aggressive war got a lot of German Nazis hung after the fight ended. France and its puppet master the US-Central Bankers are acting in an identical manner!
So how long until the West carves off a chunk eastern Syria, puts it under the conttol of an international "peacekeeping force", and starts building pipeline?
Thèse-Antithèse-La Synthèse
You don't build pipelines through a war zone (I've tired). However, one can otherwise needlessly prolong a war and in the process cock block an adversary (like me) from building anything. Look at the USSA puppet state of Afghanistan, what has the US built there other than MIC bases and multi-million dollar gas stations? Jack shit, and certainly not the TAPI pipeline. Meanwhile, what haven't the Chinese & Iranians built in Afghanistan... a planned pipeline perhaps?
http://thediplomat.com/2015/08/will-the-iran-pakistan-gas-pipeline-reall...
However, the U.S. State Department said recently that sanctions on the Iran pipeline project still existed. A spokesperson also told reporters that, “We don’t consider Iran open for business yet, and there’s no new sanctions relief beyond the very limited relief under the joint plan of action that’s been in place since January 2014.” He added, “When Iran meets its key nuclear steps and we get to implementation day, then there will be commensurate relief of nuclear-related sanctions.”
According to one Islamabad-based analyst, who spoke with The Diplomat on condition of anonymity, Washington’s clarification reflects its opposition to the pipeline project. That is a position backed by recent media reports, which have Russia and China both interested in the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, with the U.S. opposed.
"Look at the USSA puppet state of Afghanistan, what has the US built there other than MIC bases and multi-million dollar gas stations?"
poppy fields.
cia black budget has to come from somewhere.
Shhh...you're distracting from the strawman argument:
"You don't build pipelines through a war zone"
It must be nice to be able to imagine a fantastic world where such engineering, logistic, and security feats are accomplished... you don't by chance have the luxury of a couch in your parent's basement?
Pretty sure the OP wasn't literally suggesting building a pipeline in a fucking warzone.
But you know, leap on it and define it by your terms. Not like the long term goal is degrading Syria, replacing Assad and establishing a regime in the next 5-10 years amenable to opposing rival pipelines from Putin and Iran...
Maybe you just need to adjust the tinfoil on your helmet to see that
And thanks for such a quick response...lol
"So how long until the West carves off a chunk eastern Syria, puts it under the conttol of an international "peacekeeping force", and starts building pipeline?"
Sounds to me like a literal suggestion. And since the US and its international peacekeeping force have literally been in Afganistan since 2002 (over 13 years) and Iraq in since 2003 (over 12 years), when is the damn construction going to start? Iraq has some of the largest oil reserves in the world and crappiest infrastructure, and even with rigged bidding and taxpayer financed subsidies they have managed nothing larger than adding minor spurs to existing pipelines (mostly by smaller and non-US firms), and nothing remotely close to the 3mbpd reconstruction of the Kirkuk–Baniyas pipeline or the 3.3bcfpd of the Iran Iraq Syria pipeline.
Speaking of "the long term goal" in Syria- Turkey, Qatar, Israel don't share the US-centric second half of your assumption (only degrading Syria and replacing Assad generally). Turkey simply wants all spice pipelines to flow through Turkey, so they can get their "fair share" of the profits. Qatar will continue to export its gas by ship, and their only concern is that Iran doesn't start pumping 3.3bcfpd of gas out of thier shared gas feild and reversing the current flow. Israel doesn't really care about pipelines in Syria, as long they get the Golan Heights and cut the Iranian rocket pipeline to southern Lebanon.
I think the rabbis (Khazars) are pissed at the russians for cause they that the Ukrain is their homeland Khazaria and the damn Russians aint givin them no respek!

The French couldn't wait to bomb, they loved it in Libya and now Syria.
My question is where the hell did they find soilders?
French Women?
Or migrants?
If we start drafting wyminz, have to change the name to Selective Cervix.
If they invade Syria and take out Assad then the possibility it was a false flag is indeed plausible. Otherwise it is looking as a very inconvenient terrorist attack, so far their response is just to drop some bombs randomly for the sake of being seen to do something, neither Assad nor ISIS are going to be particulary bothered about the current French actions, they stink of misdirection.
The French know how to book overtime too, eh. Plus, the faster they act the quicker the page gets turned away from raising interest rates. The Central Banksters don't want anyone thinking about the destroyed markets, and fundamentals. This agenda was planned months in advance, and the Syrian Refugees were merely Act 1 in the playbook. Act 2 in the playbook is obviously this false flag event in Paris, and Act 3 is the present bombing campaign to rustle up feelings of nationalism, and patriotism, so the simpleminded theater viewer gets to participate in the superordinate goal of eliminating the principle enemy of Israel.
Frankly, this bullshit global aggression campaign is the establishment plan to force World War Three upon us all because they don't have a plan to ameliorate any of the systemic chaos they have collectively been unleashing to date. In brief, the only way to stop them is to not vote for them, donate to their electoral campaigns, or lend an interest in their collective rhetoric.
Bomb for 35 hours, take a break
Repeat.
Jewish humor at its best.
a Jewish boy is called up for the war against the Turks.
His tearful mother takes leave of him at the railway station and implores him: “Don’t overexert yourself! Kill a Turk and rest. Kill another Turk and rest again…”
“But mother!” the boy interrupts her. “What if the Turk kills me?”
“Kills you?!” the mother exclaims in sheer disbelief, “But why? What have you done to him?"
I think Paris will fold, like it did in wwll. Going to war against Assad, Iran and Russia, I think not.
Up arrow'ed. Absolument
When is Putin going to start shooting ZATO planes down with S-300/400 or Su 29's? Stop dicking around or this is all kabuki ZWO with Putin in on the gag.
Poor Syria. Poor Iraq and Libya.
It does appear as though Russia/Iran has decided they don't really care what happens in the East of the country, so long as they keep the West. Which, really, makes sense from a Russian POV. In Ukraine they didn't give a crap about any portion other than the strategically important Crimea. In Syria they don't give a crap about any part other than their mediterranean bases.
I wouldn't be surprised if French planes were shot down by US ops in eastern Syria and the finger were pointed at Russia. Mother Russia will be dragged into a hot WW3 somehow.
After russia and iran clean out the east, it is logical to assume they would sweep to the west. Let's not jump to conclusions and say they only care about the east.
Why would the Russians oppose the French killing the people Russia also is there to kill?
Both are threats to Assad, and Assad's forces can go back in after the French are done bombing. There won't be anybody alive, easy to reoccupy after you get rid of the corpses and unexploded ordnance.
Insane world.

The Pope said today after Paris to prepare for the end of the world and to meet God.
No kidding, he said it right in the Vatican.
He said "do not consult astrologers or psychics to know the exact time, just be ready at all times"
yes because he knows we know.
I knew a guy who worked at the Vatican library who said they have the worlds largest astrological library.
All the books you really want, because they know.
Actually, it makes NO sense or Russia to defend only western/coastal Syria and leave northern Syria to US/France, if a key strategic objective is to deny a passage for the SA-Qatar pipeline via northern Syria into Turkey.
Unless... Unless there is agreement and progress on an Iranian-Turkey pipeline already.
Didn't take Hollande-sauce long to close (temporarily, of course) the borders to those very same brown people who are blowing up Frenchmen.
They wanna flood Europe with more whilst kicking Russia and Assad out of Syria. That's the goal.
Major bombing maybe for the French. Another site reported a "shock and awe" total of 20 bombs from 10 planes.

So... These French planes... They were already scheduled to fly anyway weren't they... This was just their normal mission.
The problem the French need to deal with is already inside the wire; they let them in at the border as refugees.
But that is terribly inconvenient, it is much easier to declare that the enemy is over there and say you bombed them in retaliation...
It does not get any easier. Short supply lines, high target density/targer rich environment, easy to keep them corraled so they don't scatter like cock roaches.
I would assume that is where the guillotines will be rolling in soon as the French show ISIS how to cut off heads in volume. /s
<i'm sooooo confused....>
I honestly think that is how most people feel other than those who hold extreme views. (Some of which just may be accurate?)
So, maybe that is exactly how they want us to feel which makes us a neutral force?! We have been castrated, are frustrated and mandated as sheeple. We are trying to stick our collective heads up from the bumhole of the sheep in front but can see nothing but wool everywhere we look.
Personally, I feel I've worked out a few things, the main ones being,
1 There is a power block/force/elite who are orchestrating all the proceedings we are seeing in this world atm. Call them Bankers, Neocons, Elite, the 1% whatever, but they have a plan. They are bhind the terrorists attacks, ISIS and the overthrow of nations such as Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria.
2. Closer to home, the plan seems to be divide and conquer. Democracy is nothing short of a reality game for the masses who, still think they have a say. They don't! We are ruled.
The influx of immigrants are orchestrated to distract and divide the populace while the real game is unfolding. The real game?? The breaking up of cultures, countries and nation states either from within or from outside. So, the real enemy is able to take the world or parts of the world as their own from a distracted, confused and unprepared populace.
3. World War is now a distinct reality. I think the sides have been drawn and the guns are loaded. Complete hedgemony is the goal and there are only 3 or 4 countries willing and able to put up a fight against the aggressors. The aggressors are our Western nations kowtailing behind the US. The 4 nations who seem to be willing and able to fight are Russia, China, Iran and India. Whether these nations will stick together is questionable but these nations seem willing at the moment.
I think I've worked out a lot more but here are the main tenets of what I believe are happening and everything that happens are simply branches and these the trunk and root.
The wackoism started on the first sentence of point one.
Aussies should keep their focus on the sheep and leave geo-politics to others.

yup you're bearing is correct
go interdimensional and a bigger darker picture emerges
I think for me personally with the French on the move, that I can now liquidate my holdings in arms, ammunition, stored food and hundreds of pounds of emergency equipment including generators, water purification, stoves, shelter items, knives, tents, blankets, fire generating tools, stored fuel, clothing, telescopes/binoculars, lead, shot, primers, shells/cases, reloading equip, lanterns, flashlights, batteries, garden seed and every known survival product known to man....yep, I don't see a need. Maybe with the money I can get into derivative mortgage securities or paper gold. My confidence in the market is back. Terrorism and all the nasty by products will join those things on histories' shelf like bubonic plague, buggy whips and whale oil. The French are here!! Viva La France! So long ISIS it's been fun knowing you. Now I may book one of those touristy things that travel all over Europe and finish at the wailing wall in Israel. Life's go'in to be great! The French are here!!
And countries like Brazil and Venezuela are being attacked by the CIA, State Dept and Wall St., to isolate them from the BRICS.
Separate/Isolate, Divide & Conquer (indebt via socialism, corrupt, destroy, remove cultural and social fabric and norms...) is SOP or globalists. Lucifer or Space Aliens could not do better than these people.
Aussie V, I think you have got it mostly. The opposing countries are also ruled by the illuminati. The only reason they are in the opposition is that it takes two sides to start a war.
Only India seems completely neutral right now but I wonder how long that will last.
The shape of the world we know will soon begin to change more rapidly. Adapt and survive. Conjecture is becoming more and more frivolous by the hour.

thanks for the link, freewolf7. Asolutely spot on. You wont't see this analysis in mainstream media (surprise).
Agreed. That's powerful journalism. Hope he lives to tell more in the future.
These French - and i mean their government - are so pathetic and predictible. Since 1939.
(pause of 1 minute, what to write more?)
Of course, now they have this reputation of being not to be trusted (true) on arms deals, and so they have to prove how good their fighters work.
And they have to attack true targets, because they don´t want to meet a S300 for a never-come-back-flight.
the french might pay a big price for reneging on the ship deal, one wrong move in syria and putin will make rafale jets into tin cans
putin understands the power the US has over the world. I dont think he will be so eager to let that political decision interfere in their relationship if it makes sense to let it slide down the road. He now shares a common enemy with them (American trained and armed terrorists).
there was more shooting on Republique this evening Sun 6pm French time - my friends who live there just told me. People were ringing their door bell to hide from shooting outside.

The end game is regime change in Saudi Arabia. ISIS is the House of Saud weaponizing human radicals. It wont' lead to strategic victory, but a tactical stalemate that prevents regime change. Now that the US isn't heaviy dependent on Saudi oil, and have open diplomacy with Iran, it will replace the Saudi regime. But the window for regime change is only a few years. It's why the Saudis are trying to increase 'market share' away from the West towards China. China is the only nation that can protect it from Western regime change.
The endgame is the loss of the Petrodollar
DormRoom,
The end game is to make the Middle East totally ungovernable. China can not protect Saudi’s kingdom. Unlikely Saudis will trust China leaders. Saudi has being spreading radical Slam since the 70’s. Saudis need the petrodollar to do that.
Interesting aspect is Saudi and Israel strategic alliance. Saudi Arabia power has much more in common with Israel than with its own people and Iran.
Anyway, no one can predict what will happen in Egypt, South of Syria, military coups, muslin brotherhood, Assad, Iran, and all the refugees.
It’s a total mess.
However, it —over there mess— keeps western masses wondering how bad things can get when governments lose control.

It should be noted that the French carrier sailed before the false flag, sorry terrorist event.
would be good if you could prove that
Hardly a secret, France announced sending their carrier back to the region a week before the attack.
The carrier Charles de Gaulle was in the Persian Gulf performing airstrikes from 22 February (after the Charlie Hebdo attacks on 7 January) till late April. The carrier launched 10-15 sorties per day during its two-month deployment. Mostly focused on ISIS in Iraq. On 5 November 2015 (a week before the recent Paris attacks) France announced the Charles de Gaulle would return to the area to conduct operations.
http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/naval/ships/2015/11/05/france-d...
The Carrier sailing before the staged event actually bolsters the argument as they strategically place their Military Assets and then...
The staged event provides the excuse to use them.
It is like Nazi Germany massing on the Western Border of Poland...and then blowing up their own Radio Station.
Convenient...Wouldn't you say???
Try again.
And then tell me how explosions do not blow passports clear without any singeing since they were in the middle of a fireball..
Hope that carrier doesnt run into a refugee ship. Be the first carrier in histroy to surrender to a garbage scow....
"France/Nato wanted to enter war in Syria, needed a pretext."
Where's the UN Security Council resolution? If the UN declines to acknowledge a blatant, textbook act of war against a sovereign nation by another sovereign nation, did it still happen?
Yeah but this time they didn't even wait a full 48 hours... really makes one nostalgic for the days of Cheney & Co's pre-Afghanistan and pre-Iraq war full-court-press PR blitzes where they at least sort of pretended to care about crime scene analysis, investigation, due diligence, international law, UN/NATO/Hague procedure, coalition building, consent-manufacturing, all of that now undeniably anachronistic 20th century BS. And from France, under Hollande, of all places and people ... truly interesting times. I eagerly await Russia's and China's responses.
France just happened to have their assets poised for a strike eh? Fucking amazing coincidence there lol. If that's not proof enough that there's been a false flag, then you're a fuckin idiot in my opinion.
France is at war, is not an insignificant statement by the President. It implies that France can retaliate. What that means is that France, or any other NATO member for that matter, can call on NATO for its defence (http://thesaker.is/a-warning-about-the-paris-terror-attacks/).
This act of terror of 13 November could be a precursor to NATO intervening in Syria and the Middle-East at large, leading to a confrontation with Russia.
It might be the beginning of WWIII – being played out primarily in the Middle-East, to spare Europe from a third devastation in the span of 100 years, though that is an illusion in the age of nuclear arms.
Europe is needed by the Washington-Wall Street led financial and industrial empire as a trading partner – TTIP – and as a stooge for promoting the master’s agenda around the world. The suddenly ‘found’ Syrian passport clearly indicates the target for a possible NATO intervention.
Incidentally, as reported by RT on 13 November, France’s only aircraft carrier and Europe’s largest, the Charles de Gaulle, is scheduled to leave Toulon on November 18 for the Persian Gulf.
“The aircraft carrier will enable us to be more efficient in coordination with our allies”, said François Hollande, and it will “bolster Paris’ firepower in the region amid international efforts to launch Syrian peace talks.”

Europe is needed by the Washington-Wall Street led financial and industrial empire as a trading partner – TTIP – and as a stooge for promoting the master’s agenda around the world. The suddenly ‘found’ Syrian passport clearly indicates the target for a possible NATO intervention.
Incidentally, as reported by RT on 13 November, France’s only aircraft carrier and Europe’s largest, the Charles de Gaulle, is scheduled to leave Toulon on November 18 for the Persian Gulf.
“The aircraft carrier will enable us to be more efficient in coordination with our allies”, said François Hollande, and it will “bolster Paris’ firepower in the region amid international efforts to launch Syrian peace talks.”

"and given that NATO would have to pry Damascus out the Ayatollah's cold dead hands"
This utter BS statement unfortunately disqualifies the whole article.
Boo!!

What's the deal with all the Mini-14s? Don't they jam alot? Did France get a big discount from Ruger?
War for the sake of war.
There's always killin' to be done on the farm.
Mr. Knuckles. Nobody has a clear map. but clues are here, there and everywhere. I share your frustration. Only side that we need to know is our own, This is like a tsunami of refuse being poured onto the simple life most families wish to lead.
I have a good clue. And throwing my hands up in the air does nothing.
< Oh stop it! Just because nobody has a clue as to who's on whose side anymore has nothing to do with it.>
Well, fspeakingor somebody reading and/or speaking Russian, the Russian not-government control internet sites state:
Putin's Syria campaign has following major objectives
- To divert Russian populous attention from Ukraine where Putin's administration is about to sellout Donbas to Ukrainian pro-US government
- After buying $30B in US Treasury Notes, Putin expects US to end its campaign against oligarchs closed to him
- Russian campaign in Syria would not take place without US permission. Russia has no boarder with Syria. Russian logistical support of its expeditionary force in Syria has to go over Turkey who at any moment (at US request) can close its airspace to Russia as well as movement of Russian ships from the Black sea through Bosphorus Strait and the Strait of the Dardanelles to the Mediterranean.
Unfortunately, we know and understand very little what the world NWO elite is doing and its real objectives.
"Russian campaign in Syria would not take place without US permission. "
NO. It would not be taking place without the permission of the government of SYRIA... which despite the West's desire is the only legitimate government of Sryia and is recognised as such by the UN!!! And Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, China and Iraq the ONLY countries having ANY right to bomb anywhere in Syria since they were ASKED to help BY THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT.
ANYONE else is invading a soveriegn country and could rightfully, under international law, be bombed out of the sky by Sryian Air Force or any of its allies.

Wait, we've been fighting ISIS for years, we had the intelligence that was just now given to the French and yet we haven't been bombing their capital?
Their kidding, right?
Crazy innit?
.
Read an interview last week with a Dutch former commando currently fighting with the Kurds against IS. I quote: "America's air support is bullshit. The US claims to want to destroy IS, but usually they hit empty buildings. Their bombardments are fake, they don't want to lose IS. Only the French are providing any meaningful air support."
Provide a link to that interview.
Verify all you want but it's in Dutch, and behind a paywall. He did literally say that though - sometimes you just gotta trust.
I've been wondering about the lack of response to his clear, succinct and absolutely damning statements, either from the interviewers or the editors. Even the article itself was buried deep inside the weekend paper.
Who were you expecting a response from? Most of the western world is controlled by the US. The CIA is in every major news outlet.
The fact the US flew over 5,000 sorties against ISIS and didn't degrade them one iota says it all. Especially after Russia flew about 300 and had them on the run with crippling attacks. It's fucking ridiculous what is going on. No one in any position of power in ANY gov't can possibly be so naive as to believe this nonsense. It's embarrassing just to read the drivel coming out of the U.S. now.
and why are the Dutch in Syria or Iraq??? Who the fuck invited them?? Should they not be sticking their fingers in some dykes instead??
In the case of this - extremely well-trained - guy, he just went over there to the YPG and asked whether there was anything he could do. They said: "There is the enemy, go ahead".
The dykes in Holland are allright you know, except of course when walking hand-in-hand in muslim neighbourhoods.
Walking hand-in-hand is not the same as sticking your fingers in dykes.

"Only the French are providing any meaningful air support."
As of today. With the new map.
He also mentioned mysterious helicopters providing support to the YPG, they never knew whose they were. "They were just there. They helped us for days on end. We were grateful but never knew where they came from".
You got it. They never really wanted to destroy ISIS. It is just one more proof.
ISIS is neocons. Meet the elite. (PS their sons and daughters always sit the conflict out) We are serfs and are being set up to die. Period. You can dissect it all you want if it pleasures you to see who holds the whip you run from and then brainwash yourself to embrace,
Therein lies the nonsense at the heart of this French response. If we had the intelligence necessary to bomb meaningful targets, why didn't we just do that already? What is the point of the French and their devastating onslaught of vingt bombs? This is nothing but a PR campaign. Hollande wants to be seen as taking action while he dithers around wondering what to do, while of course being totally uncommitted to the only effective countermeasure at his disposal: Deporting all the Muslim immigrants and sealing the border against any more coming there.
Ya see, they have to finish destroying any livable Syrian cities so the Syrian refugees won't any place to go back to.
Let the Islamization of Europe commence. Once the muslims control the nuclear weapons of Europe The Great Satan and The Little Satan won't be around for much longer.
France got two mega defense contracts from the Saudis and Qatar (or other UAE). Someone here on ZH posted the links.
1. Saudis, Qatar, USA, Israel, Turkey at desparate because Putin jumps in their shit in Syria.
2. It looks like all is lost in Syria to Russia ending this evil proxy genocide.
3. In desperation - they blow up Russian airliner. Endless BS against civilian passenger planes ove rthe last few years. ZATO/ZWO blame pretend ISIS.
4. This fails so they do French false flag - because we have to beat ISIS.
5. Brits and others ramp up the Assad must go crap all over again.
Endless lies, murder, fraud. Innocent people murdered.

$12 billion helicopters [France has already won about $15 billion of defense contracts in the region over the last year.]
QUATAR $7.1
Qatar Deal Helps France Set Export Record - Qatar's planned signing of €6.3 billion (US $7.1 billion) of contracts for the Rafale fighter jet and missiles boosts French arms exports to more than €15 billion, the highest value France has ever reached in a single year, defense officials said
UAE 5 billion in 2015. Airbus and Thales (French)
On the first two days of IDEX, the UAE announced it had spent more than $3.6 billion on weapons, equipment and services, including a $1 billion deal for new satellites made by Airbus Groups and Thales, both European defense firms.
The bread isn't too bad these days, but the circuses could use a new script...
Writers wanted too much money, so the networks switched to reality based programming.
We get the Honey Boo Boo version of war.
Hype Alert, you obviously have no concept of military tactics. ISIS hates Assad and the US want's regime change, so to ensure a smooth transition to a US/Saudi/Israeli friendly dictator and or government the US was permitting ISIS fight Assad. This did pose a moral and ethical dilemma for the US as ISIS really loves to do bad shit like chop off people's heads, destroy ancient cities and fuck goats. So Obama, the greatest military genius since General Custer and Adolf Hitler, played a cunning military hand of poker. Attack ISIS in the press, but covertly supply ISIS with cool weapons to blow the fuck out of Assad. It all fucked up when Putin, Iran and Hezbollah butted in to support Assad. The US then sent 50 Rambo special forces soldiers to train friendly AlQueada rebels and now France is blowing the shit out of ISIS. Hope that clears everything up, now please explain it to me!

WHY is it that absolutely nobody is questioning the International laws here? What gives France or US any authority to meddle in a duly elected state (Syria)? They are ignoring agreed laws. (as Russia has pointed out. Mind Russia was invited in by the gov.)
WHY are people so friggin stupid?
That's becasue the law applies to the ruled and never to the rulers. It has been like this since the dawn of history and it will be so till eternity. (It also implies that Russia is still not a ruler as FRA and USA don't care what RUS says)
In a simple manner I think you got it Gypsy. US, France, NATO, Israel have fucked up ME since day one. Saudi princes. MONEY MONEY and unlimited visions of delusional power. Ignore any inconvenient International treaty. Boots on any ground we like to take for our corps.
This is insane. And yes it has evil all over it.
Now we get the opportunity for many young people to die in defence of lies/profit/politics. Because younger people do die in all of this. Propoganda is really only starting.
Open Letter to the War Politicians of the World
Jürgen Todenhöfer is a German journalist and former media manager; from 1972 to 1990 he was a member of parliament for the Christian Democrats (CDU). He was one of Germany’s most ardent supporters of the US-sponsored Mujahideen and their guerrilla war against the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. Several times he traveled to combat zones with Afghan Mujahideen groups. After 2001 Todenhöfer became an outspoken critic of the US interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has published several books about visits he made to war zones. In recent years he twice interviewed Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad and in 2015 he was the first German journalist to visit the ‘Islamic State’.
Dear Presidents and Heads of Governments!
Through decades of a policy of war and exploitation you have pushed millions people in the Middle East and Africa into misery. Because of your policies refugees have to flee all over the world. One out every three refugees in Germany comes from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. From Africa comes one out of five refugees.
Your wars are also the cause of global terrorism. Instead of some 100 international terrorists like 15 years ago, we now are faced with more than 100,000 terrorists. Your cynical ruthlessness now strikes back at us like a boomerang.
As usual, you do not even consider to really change your policy. You care only about the symptoms. The security situation gets more dangerous and chaotic by the day. More and more wars, waves of terror and refugee crises will determine the future of our planet.
Even in Europe, the war will one day knock again at Europe’s door. Any businessman that would act like you would be fired or be in prison by now. You are total failures.
The peoples of the Middle East and Africa, whose countries you have destroyed and plundered and the people of Europe, who now accommodate the countless desperate refugees, have to pay a high price for your policies. But you wash your hands of responsibility. You should stand trial in front of the International Criminal Court. And each of your political followers should actually take care of at least 100 refugee families.
Basically, the people of the world should rise up and resist you as the warmongers and exploiters you are. As once Gandhi did it - in nonviolence, in ‘civil disobedience’. We should create new movements and parties. Movements for justice and humanity. Make wars in other countries just as punishable as murder and manslaughter in one’s own country. And you who are responsible for war and exploitation, you should go to hell forever. It is enough! Get lost! The world would be much nicer without you.
– Jürgen Todenhöfer

Bravo! Best post I've read in weeks, although you make it sound like our leaders are complete loony tunes :D
High precison attacks. No hospitals, no innocent lifes.
It's terrible.
Imagine how many tons of carbon dioxide are released from each bomb being dropped. Can feel the world getting warmer already :(
Rates right up there with banning millions of incondescent bulbs so a few dozen electric cars can be charged. Priorities.
War is definitely bad for the environment, in general.
Particularly the part of the environment where it's happening.
This is not a subject to be trivialized, FFS.
logicalman - Structures get razed for free.
You made a stupid joke. I congratulate you on your depth of caring and sharing. Your understanding of human affairs. Please contribute more of your Facebook cozy feely "please like me" opinions. I wait.
The global warming hoax is a crime against humanity.
Making 'stupid jokes' about it is acceptable.
