Caught On Tape: Chaotic Aftermath Of A Russian Strike On ISIS Oil Tankers

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Tuesday, Lieutenant General Sergey Rudskoy, chief of the main operations department of the Russian General Staff, gave reporters an update on Moscow’s efforts to squeeze ISIS by dismantling the group’s illicit oil trade from the air. 

“The intensity of air strikes at Islamic State and other terrorist targets has been increased, Rudskoy told reporters, adding that The Kremlin’s warplanes have destroyed six oil production facilities and seven truck convoys in the past three days alone. 

The Russian MoD - which had made a habit of documenting Moscow's military exploits in Syria on the way to making Washington’s 15-month effort look ineffectual by comparison - was also out with some fresh commentary on the effort to cripple Islamic State’s illegal crude trafficking business. “Russian air strikes have helped to halve the Islamic State’s proceeds from illegal oil trade from $3 million to $1.5 million,” TASS reported, citing the defense ministry. 

According to the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights - which, you're reminded, is essentially one man operating from London on tips he receives from a network of "sources" on the ground - Russian warplanes struck "a fuel market in Idlib on Tuesday, destroying tanker trucks, setting huge fires and killing 16 people."

While it's impossible to conclusively verify the death toll or who actually conducted the strikes, it does indeed appear that someone "struck oil" (so to speak) in Idlib yesterday and for those wondering what the situation on the ground looks like after the Russians hit terrorist oil convoys, we present the following video with no further comment:

you are correct insofar that this video is a good example how a Muslim (particularly from the ME), when stressed, cries "Allahu Ackbar" in a similar manner as some other people would cry "OMG"

additionally, he would lay his hands on his head to reinforce the words with this gesture, which is a complex one which includes sorrow and asks for pardon

but note that in Islam the whole isn't, at all, judged as blasphemous. on the contrary, it's fully permitted and completely normal, up to nearly expected

As everyone should know, it's a reference to Muhammad the Prophet {tm} in his future reincarnation, as has been prophesiced by our current generation's great prophet Lucas fortelling the great coming of he warrior monk that will lead the rebellion to great victory against the evil empire.

He will be a great warrior, leader, and man of peace to warn us of The Trap

 

And his name is repeated by the holy warriors to hurry his arrival:

 

Admiral Ackbar  (how glorious and googlie may his eyes always wobble!)

 

On the possibly more useful side, the pronouncement of "Allah Ackbar" {tm} is to "praise his name" [before death] so that the dying words are "God is great!" {R} so that all of the sins of life can be wiped out in one simple [and final] prounouncement... think of it as Muslim shorthand for Catholic's "Hail Mary" {tm} and "Mea Culpa" {tm}

This isn't the result of a Russian strike. The US showered the convoy with so many 45 minute warning notices that the tanker drivers skidded on the mass of slippery shiny paperwork and crashed into one another.  Middle eastern drivers are renowned for smoking hence the conflagration.

So hasbara or stupid, how shall we choose?

'distancing' is the propaganda technique, put people in an inferior caegory, dehumanize them.  Can you be so sure they are deluded?  Some of the studies I have seen recently say 'surprizing complex motivaions'.

I think you don't have the information you would need to make a good judgement in this, so we should ignore your opinion.

About you, however, we have much better evidence ...

Quite right re: propaganda technique. Some of the most indoctrinated low-rank military veterans refer to their opponents as 'sub-humans.'  And there are many instances of propaganda depicting enemies as deformed or alien.  Run a search for anti-Nazi or anti-Japanese propaganda posters.  The goal is dehumanization. But in point of fact, if we define 'humanity' in terms of sympathy or compassion and unwillingness to perform acts of cruelty or brutality, it's fair to describe psychopaths as inhuman.

rapetrain,

janus has for a very long time been solicitous of something specific relative to this concept of 'racism'.  that is to say, what is 'racism'?

by my understanding, the very essence implicit in the accusation of 'racism' is itself racist.  let's move through this logically:  you say there is no difference in the races, but by segregating humanity through the spectrum of race as a premise, are you not being racist?  the very acknowledgement of races is, in the present age, 'racist'.  it natrually follows that an anti-racist must purge all sense of race, and cannot therefore level any accusations of racism in that there are no races to begin with...we are all 'one'...right?

but your wicked racism doesn't end there.  generally (and this may not be true of you), the do-gooders will only sanction 'racism' when it's found in the attitudes of dominate groups.  when despicable racism is espoused by 'underserved communities' it is only part of their 'struggle' and is merely their reaction to the 'racism' within the dominate group.  obviously, this is bigotry masquerading as charity.  tacit in you people's temerity is the presupposition that one group is superior to another, and it is therefore incumbent of the superior group to tolerate the racism of the 'under-served communities', advocate and apologize for it, erode the position of the dominate group and hope that whatever groups prevail will, by virtue of their triumph, heal the world by reducing it to a homogenized and indistinguishable group of 'equals'.  i very much doubt that that will result.  

for my part, i will start believing that you people detest racism when you stop making accusations of racism. 

all of the world is 'racist'.  and, call me crazy, but i don't think the concepts of 'racism' (as it's presently understood) and tolerance are incompatible.

i happen to believe strongly in tolerance...alas, the do-gooders do not.  they will tolerate sentiments of superiority so long as they are not found in this world's successful (and dominate) cultures/races.  

ironic, isn't it?...in campaigning against racism you exacerbate people's racist tendencies.  for whenever you stoke the sense of victimization based on race, you thereby inflame racism within the 'victimized' group which inevitably provokes a reaction on behalf of the 'victimizers'.  

the truth of the matter is that the western world is the most tolerant and least racist of all the world's peoples.  china is not internationalist/communist, they are instead hard-core racists who believe that the han chinese are destined to rule the world.  same for the slavs.  same for the hindu.  same for the arab.  same for the african.  same for all the world's peoples.  

but i do agree that our 'interventions' have gone way too far...time to focus on our own.  the world is weary of our interventions -- so be it.  let them rip one another to shreds.  presently, we are the only thing standing in the way of helter-skelter...and if the solution to 'racism' is to let this world's factions battle it out to the death, i suppose it's time that happen.

so please, i repeat, define racism for janus -- we'll have us some fun, rapetrain.

also, please provide for janus an alternative to western dominance that isn't so 'racist'.

i eagerly await your response.

thanking you in advance,

janus publicus

'rapetrain',

far be it from janus to impede your efforts to alleviate the world's racial/cultural tensions and smooth the natural disparities amongst these disparate groups; but, my good friend, if you presume to assuage these grievances and bring all the world's factions to an egalitarian equilibrium premised on this inane modern notion of 'equality', it may behoove you to change your username from 'rapetrain' to 'captainequality' or some-such other appellation reflecting this platitudinous dreck you peddle.  

it is one thing to crusade for tinsilated causes contrived to serve as contrast to the Natural Order of life on earth, but if one seeks to be the arbiter of altruism, 'rapetrain' does not conjure the kind of imagery conducive to global harmony through 'equality'.

no, God does not judge among 'peoples' -- but people do.  God appraises an individual's worth by the heft of his heart; humans esteem their fellows by more quantifiable calculus; and until this species is transmogrified into a more divine incarnation, homo sapiens will go on being homo sapiens.  and that, my do-gooder friend, is the rub.  

in this material world, EVERYTHING around us conducts the thinker to a recognition  of inequality (whether were ranking animal, vegetable or mineral)...nothing, and particularly things within their own kind, is 'equal' to any other thing.  and while the basis of that evaluation is subjective, when more than one subjective entities engage in ranking 'things' according to qualitative preferences held in common, 'discrimination' soon sets in -- actually, discrimination is apriori of bias and preference.  anyway, here's the rub of the rub: the power and magnitude of 'discrimination' is in direct proportion to the number of subjective entities engaged in this ranking of 'things' according to -- admittedly subjective -- biases.

now, here's the rub of the rub of the rub (as it relates to racial/cultural bias):  NO culture or race in this world exists that does not have 'superiority' encoded in its primordial DNA.  every single family, tribe, village, city, state and nation on planet earth -- if it is to survive and thrive -- believes (and acts) as if it is better than the neighboring family, tribe, village, city...

is it wrong for humans to think they are superior?  no (except when superiority is employed to justify the elimination of their peers), in point of fact, it is a vital component for the endurance of our species and the various permutations comprising its constituents...over the eons, by the threshing and sifting consequent of time's passage, The Natural Order decides which among these various families, tribes, villages, cities, states and nations are correct in their claims of 'superiority'.

nothing is equal, and through the aggregate action of many endorsing certain traits, beliefs and modes of living within their own and in competition with 'others', the various groups hone and sharpen whatever of these traits are collectively understood to be superior.  

all the same, i would encourage you to continue in your convoluted thinking.  if you feel there is nothing special about you informing your sense of purpose and improvement of your kind viz. procreation/raising the next generation, you are most likely correct.  in other words, if there is nothing 'superior' in you, do us all a favor and get thee to a vascetomist.

certain cultures esteem leaping, foot-speed and aptitudes related to dancing/performance...some prize religious zealotry and tribal anime with all its associated & antique customs (stuff like female genetial mutilation, brutality, an aversion to learning and knowledge)...some cultures focus on tradition and believe a static immobility is the preferable state of being...others, like we occidentalists, glorify inventors, scientists, poets, engineering...legitimate progress -- that kind of thing.  it's a matter of priority, not prejudice.

i, for one, do not begrudge the world's other cultures their peculiar priorities -- live and let live.  however, when these same peoples will not leave well enough alone, and instead camouflage their intent to subsume our culture and convert us to their retrograde thinking...well, at that point it's time to stop being so nice and 'egalitarian'.  janus, more than anyone else, believes in equality before the law -- but that's where it ends.  

forcing humaity to ignore their five senses and bow before the alter of this plastic notion of 'equality' is a trojan horse.  if you think for one minute that the people insisting that you abase your self-esteem and sacrifice it to their inverted version of 'equality' don't think they are themselves superior, i'd say your thinking is not only simplistic, but that there is no independent thought in you at all.  moreover, whenever people are forced to subvert logic and reason in deference to faith in a false notion, it creates a lot of pressure.  and so, paradoxically, your promotion of 'equality' will only make the resolution of these tensions all the more ferocious.  

verily, there is great and profound evil in your do-goodery.

do you not ever puzzle over the shrewdness of the jew?  i mean, for all the world's peoples they endorse 'equality', but in the same breath, with shocking insolence and a rather cavalier arrogance, refer to themselves as "God's Chosen"?

again, and by extension, i do not begrudge the jew his 'superiorty' -- without it, the jew would've long ago perished.  it is only that janus has other ideas on 'superiority'.  for example, i on the one hand understand shrewdness to be a favorable trait (in that it abets a people's endurance), just not a 'superior' trait.  

forgive me for saying so, my hebrew friends, but a very strong case can be made for the 'superiority' western europe's progeny...particularly from the english isles.  is it not something to consider...this tiny little island-nation made the whole world an empire...and right now, all the world's educated people speak their language...their people dominate two continents...and i hope this doesn't hurt, but more jews speak english than speak hebrew.

maybe, just maybe, God hath chosen a different people.  at least if empirical evidence is a sufficient demonstration. perhaps it had something to do with their rejection of His firstborn Son.  

oh, jews, don't get all huffy with janus...i'm your friend.  janus has faith in you, and believes you will be made into a virtuous people, functioning in a virtuous society, structured according to virtuous ethics, and will consequently contribute to this world's culture in a demonstrably virtuous fashion.

seems at this point inevitable that you're going to get what you want...but after this, no more monkey-business.  let's jettison the shrewdness and graft in its place righteous benevolence.  

anyway, in my opinion, God has no chosen 'people', only chosen persons...even so, people will go on choosing people based on bias and preference -- try and contain it and it explodes in reactionary vitriol and subsequent violence...which is what you're seeing develop in real time right before your eyes.

and so, 'rapetrain', i wish you all the success in the world in your efforts to convince others like yourself to 'equalize' your selves with all other selves...and godspeed with the whole infertility thing. 

 

full disclosure: janus has only visited 'stormfront' once -- and that was following a link posted here on ZH. 

janus, more than anyone else, wishes to live and let live...but if it comes down to it (and it's looking like it is), well, all i can do is play Sir Paul's eulogy:
