Caught On Tape: Russian Fighter Jets Destroy Huge ISIS Oil Convoy In Transit To Turkey
One month ago, after a farcial year-long campaign to "destroy" ISIS, which achieved absolutely nothing but made the Islamic State grow bigger and stronger, culminating with the numerous terrorist attacks in the month of November, former CIA deputy director Michael Morell told Charlie Rose on PBS that the reason the US had never actually gone after the lifeblood of the ISIS regime, its oil supply chain, infrastructure and products, was because "we didn’t want to do environmental damage, and we didn’t want to destroy that infrastructure."
In other words, the threat of a CO2 emissions spike from bombarding a convoy of ISIS oil tanker trucks far outweighs the millions of dollars in funds it would bring and fund the teaching of hundreds of new terrorists how to blow themselves up in the middle of Paris.
As to not "wanting" to destroy that infrastructure, one wonders why: was it because a down payment had been made by the "president" of NATO-member Turkey?
Luckily as the clip below shows, the Russian military, which has had dramatic success in taking out not only the front end of ISIS (such as today's elimination of the top "rebel leader" Zahran Alloush), but the all too critical back "infrastructure" end, has no such qualms.
So much success, in fact, that the "terrorists", as the Russian Ministry of Defense bluntly calls them, have been forced to deploy new oil trafficking routes to escape the Russian airstrikes.

So far, however, this is not helping, and while ISIS continues to transit as much oil as it possibly can to Turkey where it is subsequently processed and sold to the rest of the world, Russia is making sure that as little of this oil survives and can be monetized, incidentally something the US military should have been doing from day one and paradoxically, something it has yet to do.
Here is a clip released by the Russian Ministry of Defense demonstrating the most severe attack yet by Russian fighter jets on a massive ISIS oil tanker convoy.
And just in case it is still unclear where these trucks are headed, here is another clip showing ISIS oil trucks crossing the Syrian-Turkish border.

They are probably integrating the oil trucks in with lots of civilian trucks so they can blame russia for killing civilians. Russia may be trying to hit just the tankers. Just a guess.
'The Coalition of the Willing' did not have this kind of scruples in Iraq back in 1991 or even later when illegally bombing Yugoslavia/Serbia.
Which means these missile strikes are ineffective and will continue to be. Maybe 6 tankers are hit, all the rest move through. How much did Russia spend to fly their aircraft to the convoy, the cost of guided missiles, wear and tear on the plane, etc. vs the cost of a beat up tanker.
Yeah, in the initial shots I saw a lot of civvie vehicles. That might explain it.
Wouldn't see MY civvie vehicle in that lot.
Perhaps no one wants to waste all that Iraqi crude...
It seems they are concerned about AA missiles. I wouldn't be surprised if a Su-25 drops into a staffing run it will be shot at by several MANPADS.
Because some of it is Kurdish oil? That is my WAG, not information. But I recall that the Kurds owned some of the oil, and that streams were mixed together.
Does anyone know?
The cheapest and most effective way would be to strafe convoy with something like an A-10. Tracer rounds can be used in various ratios, up to all rounds.
This would turn tanker highway into a flaming highway of hell. Blasting the convoys could be done in one day of coordinated fury.
Russia has 30 mm gatling guns they could attach to an Ilyushin making something analogous to an AC-130 gunship.
Russia could also unleash MI28 helicopter gunships on the convoys.
It seems to me Russia's bombing is not going for the jugular on oil convoys, and is only sending "messages."
I don't usually comment on military tactics, but something smells fishy in Russia's restraint. There must be some sort of background politics going on to justify the anemic bombing of the convoys.
Spot on. The best weapon to attack them with is the A-10 but for some reason the US is not willing to do that. They even have them stationed in theatre.
Russia could have used its equivalent, the Su-25, but it is not, nor does it look like that it is fully loading with bombs the Su24 or Su-34 that it is using.
The Russians have shown from their actions to date that they know exactly what they are doing. There must be a reason for this.
The strategy might be to track the trucks as they flee into Turkey or turn around and run back home. See if they go to some other unknown location.
Putin wants ISIS to return to Turkey with SHIT in their underwear ! "Subdue you enemy without fighting" "ALWAYS leave an escape route for your FOE" SUN TZU - This is the way to win a war - Even Syria are giving captured ISIS amnesty - they will of course then return to Turkey where it becomes Erdogans problem.
nailed it.
Or RuAF could be laying a trap for ZATO to get caught red-handed providing cover or intel support to further caliphate convoys. This proof would not necessarily be shared with us in the peanut gallery, but called in on the private line to work other angles like easing up pressure on Combine forces in western Syria.
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
The Sun Tzu dude
Probably the above quote can be used to explain the one bomb hitting the one truck [why not all of them] and the shitty, grainy “videos” that are so bad it must be on purpose. I’m guessing all isn’t as it appears to be …….
Al-CiaDa is going to provide ISIS with singer missles to shot down the SU-34's. But it seems like they won't work, thye might need to provide them with PATRIOT system. Obama Bin Laden might have to approve it at the White House.
The Supreme ISIS leader Obama Bin Laden must be going at the WHITE HOUSE, my FORGEIN LEGIION ARMY is being masscared by PUTIN!
Filthy War Machine: US Military Industrial Complex, World’s Worst Polluter
http://earthfirstjournal.org/newswire/2012/10/02/filthy-war-machine-us-m...
Why didnt Russia annihilate them all?
Politics.
Russia has been dumping old bombs to use up expired inventory, same as we are airdropping TOWs because they are no longer frontline. When I target practice, I burn my oldest, dont you?
Its called "practice".
Putin said it 1 week ago
Yeah I was trying to educate the rest.. You dont use cuise missles when you have air superiority, most of the time.
aka FIFO
After viewing these Russian videos, it should be obvious to all that the US military still remains the best in the world by far. Too bad its not used properly.
Bring it on! If ZATO could prevent their proxy's destruction they would.
Oh for crissakes. This isn't Playstation 5. The purpose of those videos is to show the trucks driving into Turkey.
It's impossible to make excuses for American's anymore. We are the scourge of the earth. And based on these comments. Dumb as dirt too.
.
I'll buy that. Because all wars (hot, cold, financial, economic, cultural or demographic) start and end with... PR+Propaganda, i.e. 1. Shaping Perceptions and 2. Setting Expectations.
Russia knows that the West has become so currupt, and its leaders so subservient to the will of DC and NY, that they need to win the War on all fronts -- including the PR/Propaganda war. At home (first and foremost) and abroad (to wake up its dazed populace). They are hip to what the US/DOD call "Full Spectrum Dominance". Which means that they are also wise to eternal things like the political, military and economic equivalent/counterparts to: Bandwidth1, Entropy2, SNR3.
1. Implies the Max Capacity of a system (physical or informational)
2. Deals with the natural and unavoidable effects of Chaos and Random things happening (Fog of War, Murphy's Laws...), as well as its child: "The Law of Unintended Consequences"
3. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N) deals with the Quality of Information transmitted and received. Nature and human nature will always tend to degrade the quality and quantity of information.
BTW, it is the application of (2) and (3) that makes Kirk laugh at the so-called 'validity' of ancient religious texts, because they are virtually impossible to vet by modern standards. Which leads me back to my recurrent refrain: If I won't accept modern heresay, w/o vetting it forensically, then WTF would I put any stock in ancient texts and their ruminations? The answer, of course, is: "I wouldn't. If I'm rational. OTOH, if I insist on being dogmatic/irrational, well, then anything goes".
you mean our transgendered, crossdressing fighting force? i wouldn't hold my breath... sure our special forces are bad ass but that only works on small scales... with out a strong b-team to back them up, we would be handed our asses in any traditional style of engagement... fuck Obama!!!
sure our special forces are bad ass...
Are they? You might want to investigate their performance before making such claims. You may be surprised.
They are bad ass against unarmed or lightly armed opponents, especially when they can rely on air cover.
US Military is famed for leaving its equipment behind.....Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan......
you need to add: Georgia in '08
time to start bombing turkey
saudia arabia too
Time to Stuxnet their Refineries.
And for US ex-DOD guys whose employment at home (in the oil fields) is badly affected by the low oil prices, to... "take matters into their own hands".
Forming an Expeditionary Force, they could easily go to SA and do whatever it is they think they need to do, to "take care of business". Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
But the US didn't even Install a Toll Gate to at least slow them down.
Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes.
The Russians don't have to deal with the EPA.
Where the fuck are the A-10s?
Sitting in the air museum next to the P-51s, F-14s, and anything else America used to make that was affordable, troop supported, and won wars.
Apparently the hookers are too terrified to linger at those truck stop zones. Nice job Vlad and please no let up until ZATO's DAESH militias are wiped out.
Cameron will replace the hookers with little boys. He figures if they are good enough for him, good enough for Daesh
Is it haram for Daeshtards to skull fuck Porky Pig a la Cameron?
A year ago .... I said bomb the Mosul refinery and dam .... but all I got was down votes .... or much worse .... I was ignored .... LOL ?
I thought Tyler sent you a bag of 5.56 and a plane ticket.
It drives me absolutely nuts when we see them CONSISTENTLY attacking vertical conveys with missiles....
They use one missile to destroy one automobile out of a mile long convoy.
JUST FUCKING CLUSTER BOMB THE WHOLE HIGHWAY.
Agreed. The goal is to 'close' the highways and seal the border. Nothing like 40 burning oil trucks to slow things down.
Maybe that's not the goal?
Actually, one squadron of A-10's with incendiary rounds would have demolished these convoys months ago. Nothing would have been left standing.
but the USAF has no A-10s and even if they did these tankers would need a red cross on the roof for Us planes to hit them
Illegal to bomb a vehicle marked with a red cross.
How about hospitals? Whoosh...
which is much more effective huh
Beautiful, Sandman.
Sorry Sandman but the US does have A-10s and they are in Incirlik in Turkey as a minimum.
They chose not to use them.
The US didn't choose not to use A-10s on the tankers. They choose to let the tankers deliver oil to Turkey to buy Erdogans alligence.
You also assumie that the oil tanker trucks were ever considered to be beneficial and desirable targets for the US.
I asked this question before. Why don't Russians use napalm or incendiary rounds for this kind of operations?
Since the Russians clearly have the weapons to take out all the tankers, what could be the explanation for why they didn't? Turkey is paying them not to? The Russians want the tankers and oil themselves? By taking out some, they prefer to send a signal for the time being (these are Russian images, after all) and if they don't get from Turkey what they want (and God knows what THAT is, reparations, public apologies/confessions), they will unleash a shitshow later and strafe every tanker they can find? If what they want is to stop oil going out of Syria into Turkey, why not destroy the oil fields themselves? Easier (and safer) to hit the fields with cruise missiles than hundreds of tankers with a jet, no?
I agree, something dont smell right....why not go after the oil fields instead of the trucks or even wherever the crude is being refined? And if you are gonna go after the convoys why the fuck are they not cluster bombing? Why are they attacking vertical convoys with single fire missiles? Strategically it makes zero sense.....does anyone know if the oil fields or refiners are being used by legit people or does it all belong to the crazies??? Maybe thats why the Russians are doing this?
What they need is evidence on ground. Disruption. What they do not need is destroy the assets of the Syrian people.
US did more environmental damage in Libya bombing water supply. Just as they bombed electrical supply to several towns in Syria.
Russian are being tactical.
Another thing is Russians have a higher moral standing and will not used landmines, cluster bombs, phosphorous, etc. as short term solutions to an easily winnable problem.
Even the slightest chance of civilian risk is too higher price for them.
Bet the Western Axis of Evil hate this fact.
Out-manned, outgunned and outsmarted.
+1!
You can also see what appears to be civilian traffic, smaller vehicles, amongst the pirate tanker trucks.
that "civilian" traffic is vehicles that support terrorists with
weapons and goods and have used the oil convoys as cover
in the full knowledge that the supporters of ISIS have had a
hands-off policy with respect to attacking oil business convoys
I was think the same thing.
1. No, it's logistics. Each bomber only carries a few weapons. They're actually not the right tool for the job. It'd be better handled by the machine guns on a couple of Mi-24 Hinds.
2. The weapons are expensive. A lot more expensive than a tanker of oil.
3. The blast wave and heat will take out several additional tankers.
4. If you hit them enough times people will get the message.
5. In the presentation they specifically mention that A: the tankers are now being disguised as ordinary goods carrying trucks, and B: they are respecting the fact that they were invited in by Syria and they are conforming to international law.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzYHp2KiD6c
I think the Russians currently don't have(aren't using) the right planes and bombs. The planes and bombs they are using are meant for modern warfare (to make surgical strikes).
Every once in a while in war the best thing to do is go backward in history. The Russians need to use ww2 planes and bombs against the tanker convoys. The damage they are doing now is so minimal but at least they are doing something. All our guys are apparently busy trying to take 100 rebels in Iraq(after a year of fighting and bombing them) and training and equipping ISIS at our base in Jordan so they can run back and forth across the Syrian border. Who could write fiction like this?
So my advise to Putin would be: "Dust off those old planes and bombs still in storage and get them to Syria!" The Russians learned something similar to this with their T-90 tanks in Syria. The tank is virtually invincible against most modern weapons but ISIS used an old shoulder rocket and destroyed one. ISIS managed to film it. The team that designed the tank must be speechless. Who wold have thought?
Gotta give huge props to Rus military. And its diplomats. They keep showing us how its done. Don't engage in gratutious killing for the sake of "kills". Gotta figure they're pissed over all the attacks on their military and citizens. And yet. They keep within the parameters of international law. Unlike us. We just TALK about law. They prove the value of moral sanity. IDK. Maybe their kids were given books to read. Instead of being plopped in front of teevee or handed a remote control simulating "kills" from age 5.
"All was confusion in the house of Oblonsky". And yet. Those crazy Rus keep leaving us breadcrumbs. Showing the evidence. Who. What. Where. When. How. Hoping we wake the fuck up.
Instead of focusing on our OWN gov'ts hand in this clusterfuck -- and how we EACH impact these choices -- half the comments here are Playstation warriors telling Russians how to score more KILLS. As if MOAR killing is the answer. It would be amusing if it weren't so fucking sad.
So thanks VV. Hope springs eternal. Maybe enough of us are beginning to see reality. And the rest are too busy playing video wargames to care.
These oil convoys are a less pressing secondary target for Russia.
Russia's inial and most important targets are destrudtion of
armed terrorist targets that are actively gaining ground against the
Syrian Government, destroying Syrian infrastructure and culture,
and killing Syrian military forces and civilians.
RT has to do the same as the big owned mouth piece media. Repeat it again and again, loud as possible. Each time it will leak upward a little bit more. I am not convinced that everything RT says is all real. But it is a whole lot more real. Keep putting it out there. More independants will pick it up and put it out on an ever wider front. More people might see and hear. A nice aspect of the internet is it's multi threaded routes to the end. Even someone with a far right profile can still get exposed to a thread from a source they might not be funneled into. So many players in Syria and other foreign policy targets are sneaking in with needles and threads. Russia aka Putin, sees the bug and slams the hammer. Sure it isn't altruistic. But it is hopefully reversing the screwups and destruction of the other players. Exposing their dirty deeds and dirty endgames. At the very least, Russia might be able to get Syria back to the point where just Syrians were bitching and troubling the Assad government. Emphasise on " government ". Russia is of course friends with Assad. But in the long view, Assad and Russia are still the better friends to Syrians. I am still hoping to see Iran, Kurds, Iraqis and Hezbolah ground troops moving forward and stomping the creeps out. Even some Russian troops would be good.
RT does offer an alternative to the incessant anti-Russian propaganda in the WEstern MSM. But in terms of political correctness, open borders, 'equality', 'racism', the Religion Of Peace they're no different to their Western counterparts.
They tread carefully, knowing their adversaries are waiting for the slightest excuse to revoke their broadcasting licence.
It could cause +0.1C on global warming scale if russians keept bombing like that.
We didn't want to warm-up some folks...
Lavrov: "We Schlonged some tankers."
Don't kid yourselves, critics of the Russian Air Force.
Each one of those tanker truck drivers has a MANPAD and has been trained how to use it. The Russians would no more trade a MIG for one or two tanker trucks than they would trade a Queen for a pawn in a friendly game of chess.
Now the jig is up for Obama and the tanker truck drivers. The world knows that the Negro gave Erdogan half the profits of the ISIS crude oil sales for Turkish alliance.
And he gave ISIS the other half of the oil sales to fund the increase in terrorism that we've seen since Sept 30 when the Russians joined the fray and entered the Syrian plight.
Manpads are ineffectual against Kalibr
Remember, Erdogan was the First foreign head of state Bath House called from the Oval Orifice!
Those two are both crooks.
That highly likely to be wrong.
It looks as if to date no MANPAD has been used against the Russians, or even the Syrians, since September. Not even against low flying helicopters, Su-24 or Su-25.
There must be a reason for this and I doubt it is a tanker driver, with a Stinger in his cab, deciding not to use it.
Why haven't the Russians already destroyed the 12,000 tanker trucks? Why are they taking their time? Are they playing cat and mouse with the ISIS tanker pipline to Turkey?
Or are they just being super cautious? They know that to attempt to destroy over 10,000 tanker trucks in three or four days probably would result in the death of Russian air men and the loss of jets.
MANPADs were manfactured in Turkey and there are plenty to pass out to their tanker truck drivers. I doubt that you have to graduate from West Point to be able to use them
So what's gong on? In my opinion the Russians are attacking the tankers convoys with an initial surprise pass of four or five jets, which alert the other thousands of truck drivers to get out of their trucks and make for the open fields with their MANPADs at the ready for the second Russian wave.
The wave that never comes.
After the first Russian pass destroys 30 or 50 tankers and all the other drivers are in the fields with their missiles waiting for a second pass, but which never happens. Two or three hours later the drivers and their missiles return to their cabs. They drive around the burning trucks and inch their way closer to the Turkish border.
The Russians are in no hurry to demolish all of ISIS's trucks, especially if that 'haste' makes for the waste of Russian assets.
This slow death by '1000 cuts' is sufficient for the Kremlin. Nothing magically changes when Erdogan's last tanker is blown up.
This is another instance of me being wrong. Of course, no MANPAD has been used against the Russians BEFORE THE THE Su-24 WAS SHOT DOWN A MONTH AGO.
Prior to that stab in the back, or missile in the tail, we had an idea that Erdogan was either two-timing the Russians or NATO but weren't sure which one.
From the 100's of billions Erdogan was making from ISIS oil we see that he was two-timing Russia. The downing of the Su-24 was the give away.
If MANPADs had been used prior than that, Putin would have been aware of Erdogan's intentions earlier.
Did NATO and the Pentagon refrain from using MANPADs because they thought it would invite a Russian response before the one they got on September 30th or have they used them but the Russian have a defense against them and they were unable to hit a Russian jet and there were, therefore, no news stories about the Russia's ability?
Please JohninMK, don't get overly excited about my intial remark about the truck drivers and their MANPADs.
There could be a Turkish posse comitatus travelling along side the convoys with MANPADS. Erdogan is not so stupid as to let the convoy roll without some protection.
The main problem for the Russians is that the convoys are beyond range of their attack helicopters and on the limit for Su25 ground attack aircraft. Once Kuweiries airbase is open, that should change.
"Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of fried I$I$ and burning IOU petroscrip Saudi Mercan toilet paper dollahs in the morning."

For those who wonder why Russians don't bomb ALL the trucks: try thinking about whom in fact the oil in those trucks belongs? Haven't you thought about the possibility of the oil being delivered in accordance with US interests? Think again.
Turkey is here just a servant. The oil is needed by the US, not by Turkey. This is the only and main reason why US hasn't destroyed that routes yet. US needs that oil for whatever reason.
Yeahbut...if the oil was needed by the US - who were therefore leaving the tankers alone - surely that would mitigate towards the Russians trying to bomb all the oil tankers. No? There's nothing quite like giving the US an additional headache.
I rather think the problem is that the Russian bombers are not using the right ordnance. Instead of using small numbers of large bombs which only take out a coupla tankers on each sorty, they should be using small scatter bombs of some sort and just go on a turkey shoot. This could destroy or disable maybe 90% of tankers on each occasion.
They need to use their US A10 Warthog equivalent the Sukhoi Frogfoot - perfect to take out entire convoys in a single pass
Got it. I hope Putin's reading this :-)
CIA no doubt get a good slice of the oil profits since it's their moderate headchoppers and moderate cannibals doing all the actual stealing.
Israel needs oil
There is a oil glut. Why would we want any extra oil?
I suspect a smaller, scheming country wants the petrol.
More like ISIS has not made all the car (pickup/lorry) payments to the CIA yet?
LOLOLOLOLOL If that was true I would kiss my own ass.
anything that undercuts the world price of oiil hurts the Russian economy
particularly if the end price to geographical regions that would normally
buy their oil from Russia.
This reduction in oil price has backfired on US and Saudis.
The cut-rate oil business has been enormously profitable
for Erdogan and his family, and has also bought a lot of
Turkish cooperation with, the US and NATO as well as
deafening silence from the UN.
Evidently slaughtering families at Afghan weddings is more environmentally friendly.
Why can't Vlad cropdust Obama with some Pollonium?
because US voters have been supremely satisfied with Obama for the past 7 years

Sarcasm and democrat stupidity are indistinguishable on the interwebz
One must wonder how far the $$$ generated by the 'import' & sale of Syrian oil travels. Is the Sultan of Turkey's family the sole beneficiary? Or do the hundreds of million make their way throughout the 'chain' of NATO Executives & heads of state of member nations? Sounds like an old Al Capone 'protection racket'. Anybody for auditing some off-shore accounts of the HNIC, the POTUS his-own-self, Mr. Bronko Bomber? A few hundred million here, a few hundred million ther & pretty soon it's almost as if he were the MVP in the American League. Good God, things are certainly FUBAR!!!

100,000 tonnes of Methane at 72x more global warming than CO2 out of a valley in California who give a toss about the environmental impact anymore. (Hey, noticing the cali... part is california like a caliphate state?)
Any quote by anybody in power about global warming, environmental damage is by hypocrisy using it as a control and justification mechanism.
As for Putin, I think thunderbirds are go ...
Hope all ZH'ers had a good xmas, new year soon be here soon and may you all have good fortune during the year.
The 100,000 tons is only 1/4 of Cailfronias output from what I recall. According to CA's fictional growth estimates, they won't grow industrial wise but they will meet methane outputs. So basically it's ok to spew this amount as long as the billionaires are making money, but not ok if they are not?
LOL, Iraq, UK, Libya, etc etc etc all look like environmentally sound wars were waged. Fuck the US. Or the ones that are in charge of it that is.

That video looks to have been an attack by helicoptor judging by its movements. Yet the earlier video of the claimed incident was clearly carried out by a plane. Something doesn't fit.
Isn't Morrell that slimy POS that looks like George McFly and lies like the Hildebeast? I think he might have been in charge of hoovering the Kenyan Klown too... when Reggie was on Vacay...
Not to be prudish. But what's with the constant focus on sexual proclivities? IDC what they do behind closed doors. Unless they're pedo's. And then should be prosecuted and PUNISHED.
The problem with abberant behavior is it leaves them vunerable to blackmail. Which is exactly WHY and HOW deep-state is able to co-opt so many accomplises. Maybe if we focused on the substantive issues. They'd be less exposed to evil influences???
Plus. It just gets tiresome to see the constant repetition of sexual references. As if it matters.
Why is it satisfying to repeatedly point out that Obama is clearly a homosexual? Because Obama's sexuality is blatant-government-lie-number-12245345 that we are sick and tired of having to pretend we don't all clearly see.
And cracking derogatory jokes about it all is wonderfully cathartic.
He's a fake. He's a puppet. He's a 100% manufactured, privately owned entity. His name, his race, his religion, his politics, his sexuality, his parentage, his education, his birth place, his career, his associates, his every move has been meticulously scrubbed or planned or altered to make him palatable to the general population.
It simply feels good to call someone out on their shit.
Now on the other hand, if Obama wanted to run on the platform of being a homosexual, affirmative action, Alinsky-loving, muslim-born, bastard named Barry Soetoro and he won, then we wouldn't have anything to insult him about would we?
...and he sucks cocks while dildo-ing his own ass.
Oh, sorry, what were you saying?
That is true! ISIS will spend their millions in recruiting, training, and brain-washing young men into future terrorist, who will happily bomb European and American [plus Russian] cities with out blinking an eye. To bad only Putin understands this.
To bad only Putin understands this.
Actually it's a "good" thing Putin understands. It's too bad you "don't" understand it.
ISIS is a mercenary creation of the CIA and Mossad to further Zionist interests. To deal with the opposition, be the opposition. ISIS is there to further the ongoing Zionist plan. We have had the road map for a very long time.

Why did WTC7 fall down? Less than 15% people know about it yet 100% know about WTC1 and WTC2. It "is" possible to fool "most" of the people "all" of the time and we've seen it right before our eyes for my entire lifetime.

What a stunning revelation that the administration is more concerned about a carbon footprint than the lives of Europeans or Americans. What happened to cut the head off and cut the purse away from an enemy tac? Thanks Russia...at least one world power still does the heavy lifting and knows how to crush a threat. A sad day when I am thankful for Russia and their servicemen for fighting evil.

Credit where credit is due, Handle. We are not necessarily all that different.
Why is the camera so shaky and shifty?
Why all the edits?
Why no movement once fired upon?
Ever step in an ant bed? What happens next?
Why do they want us to believe everything they show us without question?
Why so many questions with no reasonable answers?
WTFO???
Never seen video taken from a helicoper before?
You certainly don't get out much, do you????
The video is not taken from the attacking aircraft, it is being taken by a drone that is either painting the target with a laser designator or simply there to capture the shot of the laser-guided bomb(s) hitting their targets.
Its circling way, way up in the sky....not a few hundred feet. The jerky picture is actually nothing more than the operator, safely away in Moscow, or elsewhere, is repositioning his viewpoint crosshairs.
I say, Vlad, good show old boy!
Why not put incendiary bombs on the wells themselves and repeat to keep them burning. Inflamed oil doesn't transport or sell very well.
NOW, the bloody jackholes are suddenly interested in the carbon footprints --- OF ENEMY TERRORIST CONVOYS????????
Bathhouse Mikey Morell, what a complete douchetarded dipshit --- ONLY Trilateral Commissions' Charley Rose (Oopsy, sorry, he's suddenly no longer a member there, after 30 years with them) wouldn't ask any logical follow-up questions!
Did blankone complain yet that russia hasnt destroyed 'all of isis oil convoys'? You gotta appreciate his tenacious and novel approach to Putin bashing, and even I will admit the man may have a point with recent strikes by israel on the Lebanese Resistance fighting isis in syria (israel like the us can violate the airspace of foreign countries at will, bomb hospitals and schools, etc.)

Of course, one might also posit that Russia is likely trying to do what it can, not more than it can, while looking after russian interests first.
The Anglo-Zionists are surely eager to reignite easyern ukraine and chechnya using, as in Syraq, their terror proxies.
I suspect the Ukrainian theater is more vital than propping up Assad.
As I recall from my former 'occupation', the ordinance is to be matched to the target. Using high-explosive, hard-target bombs on moving targets (even as slow as oil trucks move in relation to the plane releasing the ordinance) is not all that effecient. If I were advising those seeking to reek the most havoc on the moving convoys, I would suggest CBU's (cluster-bombs) as they cover a much wider area & the fragmentation of the smaller bomblets is still sufficient to set off the tankers. Maybe a C-130 with a small howitzer hanging out the left side would be handy too. Also, attack helicopters utilizing multiple rockets & 30MM cannon fire would certainly bring on the 'fireworks'. But they have to be certain to drop their leaflets (Bullshit Bombs) before they follow-up with the CBU's......LOL!!!! CBU's can be a real 'game-changer'. Go Vlad, Go!!!!
Rambo Halliburton is to blame. That guy is violence prone but his daddy builds pipelines.

There are some important questions that need to be asked about these videos.
The main question is this - WHEN was this video made? This looks like the "early situation" when the Russians first started their bombing runs in Syria. At that time, these large ISIS oil convoys existed. But do you really think that ISIS or Erdogan are so stupid that they are still putting all these tankers together in large convoys??? Nobody is that idiotic.
Just because the Russians release this video now - doesn't mean the bombs dropped last week. Russian intel is smart enough to know how to make the propaganda videos work in their favor. This is probably an old video, and it might be heavily edited.
However - the fact that these huge ISIS oil convoys did exist in the past - is damning evidence against NATO. It's a major policy SNAFU for NATO and the USA. Nobody can claim that they "never knew about this".
If the reason stated by Mr. Morell is true, then we have a bunch of high paid morons running the country.
TEPCO Confronts "New" Problem of radioactive water
This potential extinction level event (ELE) has been so digustingly mismanaged, it almost looks intentional. No, I am not playing the "culling card", it's just a comparison of ineptitude.
So now they discover that the ground water that was previously flowing into the ocean is actually a lot higher in radioactiveity than they previously thought. God forbid they ever measured it, AND reported it accurately.
So now these nuclear scientists are taking their walled up rad water, and since they stopped building storage tanks around 2 years ago, they have no where to put it, BUT IN THE FREAKING REACTOR BUILDING!
Where it will become much more radioactive!
If we had an effective New World Order, could we convict these "people" of crimes against humanity?
However, the water from four of the wells was discovered to have high levels of tritium–a radioactive substance that is hard to remove–at levels higher than 1,500 becquerels per liter, which means the water cannot be released into sea.

That sounds about right.
Obama would rather see Christians beheaded than some Hollywood Sierra Club donor upset.
Bomb the son of a bitchin' tankers even after they have entered Turkey. That's what missiles are for, to go where planes can't go. Fuck Erdocunt.
Genel Oil
ownership including murdock and a rothschild ?
"Genel Energy Plc GENL (LON) , the largest independent oil and gas operator in Kurdistan, will sell its first crude oil through a new pipeline to Turkey later this month.
The new pipeline gives Kurdistan its own access to international oil markets for the first time, through Turkey to the port of Ceyhan.
Genel Energy is a company listed on the London Stock Exchange. It has headquarters in London and operating bases in both Ankara in Turkey and Erbil in Kurdistan. Today it is the largest independent oil producer and the largest holder of reserves in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq."
"As a key player in the region of Kurdistan, Genel Energy stands to do well the more successful Kurdistan becomes in continuing to establish itself as an entity separate politically from Iraq."

hummm............rothschilds, oil, genocide, and syria sitting right in the middle. coincidence any one?
It's all fishy. First, Russia destroying only a tiny fraction of oil tankers it is capable to destroy and now Israel bombing Hezbollah in Syria again in spite of claimed Russian S-300 and S-400 presence there. Hezbollah is Syrian (Assad's) army and Iran's ally. Qalamoun is over 150 km (~100 miles) north from the Israeli-Syrian border, so the Hezbollah military units stationed there are most likely involved in fighting against Daesh/ISIS/ISIL, Al Nusra and the likes, not Israel.
Well, if the Russian General Staff had known that Field Mashall Jorgen wanted all 12,000 tanker trucks eliminated by yesterday, they'd probably take the General who ordered 'go slow' outside and shoot him. Never mind what the destruction of 12,000 tanker trucks in a day or two would have had in costs of men and equipment.
Not to mention the reaction to those 12,000 explosions and fires by the EU countries who have been leaning toward cancelling the Russian sanctions for the last year.
Take a look at a map, the ball sack of Syria (Damascus is is the large, low hanging one) dangles quite close to the borders of Lebanon, Jordan and the Jewish State itself.
And you must be be aware of International Laws which govern firing missiles into the air space of other sovereign nations (i.e.,Lebanon).
If Israel attacks Syria by flying up the Mediterranean to the middle oF Lebanon, then across that country to about 10 miles from the Syrian border where, while still in Lebanon, fires some missiles into Syria at Damascus, can Syria or Russia fire S-400 to bring down an Israeli jet flying over Lebanon?
If Syria had made an arrangement with Lebanon, it would be possible. But obviously no such deal exists.
Lastly, the man in charge of this whole show is V. Putin, who is greatly admired at ZH. Now if you are up with the latest news, you know that lately he has been much in touch with the PM of Israel and the Russian Generals are conferring with the IDF. They appear to be working out ententes and accords, which we all assume are to the benefit of the Russian alliance both in Syria and no doubt in South East Ukraine as well.
Vlad, when you're done with Isis please do DC.
and a little to the West of DC (Langley)
