Putin Orders Military To "Immediately Destroy" Any Threat To Russian Forces

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ratcheted up the rhetoric in what appears to be one step closer to the potential for direct conflict with The West. While not detailing 'who' he was focued on, amid the obvious Turkey-Russia tensions, Putin told a session of the Defense Ministry's collegium that "I order to act extremely tough. Any targets that threaten Russian forces or our infrastructure on the ground should be immediately destroyed."

During the meeting of the most senior defense officials, ITAR TASS reports that Putin also warned against "those who will again try to organize any provocations against our servicemen."

 "We have already taken additional measures to ensure security of Russian servicemen and air base. It was strengthened by new aviation groups and missile defense systems. Strike aircraft will now carry out operations under cover of fighter jets,"

Putin said that the Russian military have caused a substantial damage to terrorists in Syria, adding that the actions of the Russian Armed Forces are worthy of praise.

"The combined operation of the Aerospace Defence Forces and the Navy, the use of newest high precision weapons systems has caused a serious damage to the terrorist infrastructure, thus qualitatively changing the situation in Syria," the president said.

The president also ordered the defense ministry to coordinate actions in Syria with Israel’s command post and the US-led international coalition.

"It’s important to develop cooperation with all countries really interested in destroying terrorists. I am talking about contacts on ensuring flight safety with the command post of Israel’s air force and forces of the US-led coalition," Putin said.

According to the official, terrorists in Syria pose a direct threat to Russia and Moscow’s actions are carried out to protect the country rather than due to abstract interests.

"Our soldiers in Syria are, first and foremost, defending their country. Our actions there aren’t motivated by some obscure and abstract geopolitical interests or a desire to train our forces and test new weapons – which is of course an important goal as well. Our main objective is to avert a threat to the Russian Federation,"

As we noted previously, The Kremlin looks prepared not only to stay the course, but to ramp up the deployment. Not only is Moscow hitting terrorist targets with cruise missiles from Russia’s Caspian Fleet, but now, Moscow is shooting at ISIS from a submarine in what can only be described as an effort by Putin to use Syria as a testing ground for Russia’s long dormant military juggernaut (after all, you don’t really need to shoot at a group that doesn’t have an air force or a navy from a sub). 

On that note, we present the following update graphic prepared by Louis Martin-Vézian of CIGeography as post at The Aviationst. It documents the scope of Russia’s operation in the Mid-East and should give you an idea of just how committed Moscow is to the fight.

Obama was supported early on by a Jewish Zionist network, largely in chicago. His first chief of staff was Rahm Emmanuel and he was advised by Cass Sunstein.

Putin is simply announcing a reasonable stance; it's called, "Self-Defense."

Assad should dis-invite the US and its stooges and ask Russia to send in, say, 25,000 or so top flight ground troops to clean out ISIS in about a month and it's all over. The USSA  had wet dreams of using ISIS to destablize Russia once they were done in Syria, the USSA and its lackeys are not to be trusted.

Clickbait titles do work, eh?

So in other words the Russians will defend themselves?

The monsters!

The Israelis defend themselves too - and it is not deemed sinister, even as they defend themselves by violating syrian airspace to bomb Lebanese forces fighting their isis proxies, or by emptying clips into little girls on land they illegally occupy

With the Russian forces on a hair trigger, this could go south really quickly. If the brass at the Pentagon get their marching orders from the Zionazis in the US State Dept., we might see something quite spectacular soon. Throughout my life, every time I thought, "No way, the US wouldn't be that crazy" at the verge of yet another American war, I have been proved wrong. By all the evidence, these fuckers (Victoria Nuland et al) really are hell bent on starting WWIII with Russia and they are not going to stop. Fattening the MIC contracts are not enough for them, their ideology for a greater Israel and an empire of chaos will likely start a chain reaction of no return. These armchair strategists, these cossetted pricks are like 2nd and 3rd generation wealthy kids - they will never understand the harsh realities and consequences of their actions until they kill themselves and everyone around them.

Did Putin need to announce his stance? Yes of course. He is anticipating the series of sneaky "accidents" to kill his troops over the crowded skies of Syria to make him unpopular at home.

I want to curse reading so many posts.

How about you think about 'people of the US' and 'people of the UK' instead of 'US' and 'UK'?  With 'people' in the equation, all of their love and family, perhaps you might grasp the enormity of what you so blithely propose.

I choose the complexity of life with its need for work to achieve human and humane goals.

Any path that includes killing people is BAD, by definition. Also dumb, because you can lose at negative-sum games, bad strategy, as proven by the many amazing militaries who lose the last battle, or win all their battles and lose the war, destroy the empire with military spending.

"Come All Ye, Nudniks, Joyful and Triumphant"    

one step closer to the potential for direct conflict with The West.

Putin is so in control of the goings-on with the West, he is loathe to let the world in on that fact.  If and when there is to be "direct conflict" between Russia and the West, Putin will decide when that clock strikes.

Look how the neocons and other turds of NATO tried to get him to react to the events in the Maidan and then in Donbas.  He calmly rode out all of Kiev's provocations.

He let Obama and assorted turds bomb sand dunes in Eastern Syria for a year before sending in cruise missiles from destroyers in the Caspian Sea to tell the world that Washington and the Pentagon were just enacting a pathetic charade  --   pretending to fight ISIS for over a year.

It got the US coalition off it's pimpled butt and they began to attack ISIS in earnest.  Of course, they had to drop flyers on the tanker trucks, as they had pinky promised them they would never bomb them or their trucks.

Then NATO's Turkey blew a bomber out of the sky near it's border with Syria and everyone expected a fierce reprisal.  Putin did nothing militarily to Turkey, rather decreed some sanctions that still has Ankara worried.

And even that backfired on US/NATO.  Before you could say "dumb Negro", Russian transports were flying in countless S-400s which western military mavens had already pronounced 'hyped' and not any better than what the West possessed.

Meanwhile the West was still tasking Israel to continue to raid the warehouses outside Damascus where the Syrian Yakhont were supposedly stored, although the Pentagon didn't think very highly of them.

Israel was somewhat reluctant to bomb the Latakian warehouses what with the newly arrived S-400s there.  Besides it looked like Putin and Netanyahu had come to terms about attacking each other, especially since Ben Gurion Airport was within the range of the S-400.

When the direct conflict came, Israel would not take a flyer alongside the US coalition.

Possessed of Iskander, Yakhont, Khibiny (Putin doesn't bluff), and now nuclear torpedoes, which make so much sense, especially when your adversary has three coasts, you wonder why you didn't think of them.

The West and the Pentagon were led into this quagmire by Paul 'our other nigger' Wolfowitz who categorically believed that the US, with enough anti-ballistic missiles in eastern Europe, could so thoroughly degrade the Russian nuclear response to a western first nuclear strike that not one Russian nuclear missile would hit the homeland.

He held that this idea of his was true all through the first decade of the 21st century, after having got little Booger Bush to withdraw from the ABM Treaty in 2002.

Reality claimed what was left of Wolfowitz's sanity and now he spends his days worrying that the Negro will ship him to Elba.

Interesting stuff bid.

"Besides it looked like Putin and Netanyahu had come to terms about attacking each other, especially since Ben Gurion Airport was within the range of the S-400"

But if Putin agreed to this, it may prove to have been an error because Israel cannot be trusted.

smacker, your stuff has to be interesting or the crowd here will take its business elsewhere.

 

it may prove to have been an error because Israel cannot be trusted.

First, Putin understands this as well as any of the major players today, more than Obama and Kerry.

Second, 'Israel can not be trusted'.  That's because it's susceptible to a better offer from a third party or it perceives it is not "on the side that's winning." Again Putin would be aware of this.

None of us know how many Russians who immigrated to Israel in the '80s, continue to supply the Motherland with classified information.

At this stage of Russian-Israeli relations, I don't think Netanyahu would betray a squadron of Su 35s or reveal the coordinates of a few batteries of S-400s, and in return get all the runways at Ben Gurion bombed out of commission for 5 or 6 weeks.

You know that my main tinfoil theory is that Washington believes that "peak oil" will strike the world after mid-century and that the US must gain absolute influence in the major oil producing countries before then.

And that Russia MUST BE SHOWN WHO'S BOSS before then.

That's exactly what we have been seeing since Weasel Bush became president in 2001.

The Russian Armed Forces could soon receive the first preproduction prototypes of the next-generation S-500 air defense system, defense expert Igor Korotchenko asserted.

 

Russia is paying particular attention to developing aerospace defense systems, he noted.

"We heard figures indicating that the Russian Aerospace Forces will soon receive more S-400 systems. The S-500 will soon finish state tests and enter service," Korotchenko said following the board meeting of the Russian Defense Ministry on Friday.

Finally, russia gets it! let's hope russia realizes once and for all the zog is out for blood. If russia wants to stop zog, russia needs complete and overwhelming force: aim for the face. no one is to be trusted, especially apostate israel. that little bitch likes to hide in the back and throw turds while real fighting is going on. saudi arabia too. truth be told, russia should start lobbing nukes left and right. they're right in the middle of zogville. you can't miss hitting a bad guy.

Russians may be considering a nuclear strike on ISIS concentration in Raqqa:

 

It may be part of psychological warfare against ISIS (and not only) or may be not...

This may also be one of the reasons for such extreme approach:

'Official Washington is awash with tough talk about Russia and the need to punish President Putin for his role in Ukraine and Syria. But this bravado ignores Russia’s genuine national interests, its “red lines,” and the risk that “tough-guy-ism” can lead to nuclear war, as Alastair Crooke explains.'

'Sistani Orders Turkey Out Of Iraq - Syria Oppo-Conference Fails

After the U.S. invasion of Iraq the U.S vice consul Paul Bremer tried to install a handpicked Iraqi government. The top Shia religious authority in Iraq, Grand Ajatollah Sistani, demanded a democratic vote. The issue was thereby decided. There was no way the U.S could have circumvented Sisitani's edict without a massive revolt by the 65% of Iraqis who are Shia and mostly follow his advice. Bremer had to fold.

Now Ajatollah Sistani takes position against the Turkish invasion of Iraq:

Iraq's top Shi'ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, called on the government on Friday to show "no tolerance" of any infringement of the country's sovereignty, after Turkey deployed heavily armed troops to northern Iraq.
Sistani's spokesman, Sheikh Abdul Mehdi Karbala'i, did not explicitly name Turkey, but a row over the deployment has badly soured relations between Ankara and Baghdad, which denies having agreed to it.
...
"The Iraqi government is responsible for protecting Iraq's sovereignty and must not tolerate and side that infringes upon on it, whatever the justifications and necessities," Karbalai'i said in a weekly sermon.

The issue is thereby decided. Turkish troops will have to leave or will have to decisively defeat all Shia of Iraq (and Iran). If Erdogan were smart he would now order the Turkish troops stationed near Mosul to leave Iraq.

The Russian President Putin also increased pressure on Turkey:

President Vladimir Putin on Friday ordered Russia's armed forces to act in an "extremely tough way" in Syria to protect Russian forces striking Islamic State targets there.
"Any targets threatening our (military) group or land infrastructure must be immediately destroyed," Putin said, speaking at a Defence Ministry event.

Note to Erdogan: Beware of funny ideas...' ...
