The game is now set for the big boys to rob shoulders. The only regretable thing is that, it is going to increase the level of escalation on all fronts , particularly for the rebels.

But what do you expect when the big boys strive to outwit one another in their pipelines geopolitics! God help the poor.

Interesting but ambiguous video

Check out this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JYEmXJ60Yc


This video was supposedly made near Homs and supposedly shows a “large Russian aircraft and 4 escorts”. Maybe. The large aircraft could be either Il-76 (transport) or Il-78 (refueling). The four smaller aircraft are not escorts, but probably SU-24, and if that guess of mine is correct, then this is interesting. Careful now! Iran also has Il-76 and SU-24s, so we don’t know for sure that these are Russian. But if these are, indeed, Russian SU-24s that would significant as the Syrian Air Forces does not have such aircraft.

The SU-24 is an old but still very capable ground attack aircraft, roughly similar to the US F-111. It’s main purpose is to accurately deliver about 8’000km of bombs, including in night operations and bad weather. Right now, in Russia, this aircraft is being phased out and replaced by the much more capable SU-34, which means that there could soon be a lot of unused SU-24 (and parts!) with a fairly modern avionics and targeting suites available. If confirmed, the presence of Russian SU-24s would mark a quantum leap for the capabilities of the government forces.

Again, let’s not jump to conclusions – at this point in time this is an unconfirmed video showing unidentified aircraft. But in the general Syrian context, this video makes sense. SU-24 could be operating out of Latakia and they could be very effective against Daesh.

We will have to keep an eye on this one.

The Saker
Believe it or not, Russia planes are already in Syria. Even the US confirms it, and Russia is not denying it either.

I see events reshapening in Syria.

Keep waiting for the Fulani dominated army to help you.

When GEJ ordered troops from a garrison in Benue to intervene in the Nassarawa crisis between Fulani militias vs Eggon community wherein several Fulani militias where killed what did the likes of El Rufai say?
[img]http://oregie.files./2014/09/el-rufai-tweet-fulani.jpg?w=558[/img]

The problem with you sw people is that you assume wrongly that the Hausa Fulani consider you as their fellow nationals.

Go to Kano and see first hand how a Sahelian from Chad, Mali, Niger, Sudan and even Senegal is welcomed more than you in your supposedly one nijeriya.

You people are living a lie and by the time you wake up to the realisation that the Hausa Fulani are all out for absolute control of the polity the better of you will be prepared when they start killing you.

I see you guys in the sw in the same state of mind as the middle belt people who used to assume the Fulanis as allies. Today,they are crying for help.

Don't put yourselves in that position.

A prominent Katsina elder statesman was on Tuesday shocked to his marrow when his trailer load of rams as Sallah to Muhammadu
Buhari was outrightly rejected.

According to Newsrescue, President Buhari, a native of Katsina is reported to have immediately directed that the trailer be turned back and returned to the sender without delay.

This development further confirms Buhari’s statement during his swearing-in ceremony, where he said he belonged to everybody and to nobody.

Just recently, WashingtonPost adjudged President Buhari as the least corrupt leader in Africa.

Stop assasinating the character of Buhari! GEJ was there for six years, but he didn't do anything to address the issue, even when it was raised repeatedly. The problem lies in policy formulation and the failure on the parts of our security forces to live up to expectation.

Insurgency must be crushed in this nation. But we can't win this war with lies coming from the government.
American envoy said the same thing that Nigerian military is lying last week...
APC should tell us what's up
Make i hear word jare! They are lying, but we see the women and manourished children freed from Boko haram enclaves by the military. What about the multitudes of women freed so far from the Sambisa forest, whose footage has been widely seen on media bodies like Aljazeera? Did they just appear from thin air, or na stroll them stroll come from their? ;-/

The fact that a person do'nt like the government or the person of the President, should not be an excuse to deny reality. Boka haram has taken serious beating recently to the extent that the only reprisals they could muster, was suicide bombings in market places and refugees camps, as they could no longer carry out the large scale raids on military targets and civilian populations like before when they had control over many local governments.

The US embassy can say sh*t as she like, after all, they have never wanted the survival of Nigeria. It is completely useless and outright nonesense to even make reference to them when discussing Nigeria and Boko haram, knowing their motives against Nigeria.

Boko Haram has lost its bite, and from the story so far, you can see true the veil that it is a foreign sponsored organization now losing the war.

Underground:
I am afraid that this is certainly a ploy to buy more time whilst the neocons re strategize and come up with a counter plan.
Once the neocons decide to embark on a regime change exercise, no form of appeasement can make them change their mind.
They tricked Ghadaffi even after he had given up on his nuclear weapons ambitions- so much so that they labelled him an important partner in their fictional war against terror.
The neocons bidded their time when Putin was able to forestall an attack on Syria by forcing it to give up his chemical weapons even though it was found out later through a study at MIT, Massachusetts and investigations by several other bodies that the 2013 Ghouta chemical attack was perpetrated by the Islamists.
The much celebrated Iran nuclear weapons deal, mark my words, will be rescinded as soon as another president occupies the White House - no matter who he/she is. MARK MY WORDS.
These blood thirsty, evil, depraved men won't stop until Assad is unseated and their proxy terror armies are moved over to the Caucusus, Iran and Xinjiang province, China to destroy all remaining resistance to Washington's insatiable appetite for world preeminence.

The best thing Russia can do at the moment is to vigorously continue on the diplomatic front - while expanding its military support to Syria- by forming a coalition involving the likes of Iran, China, Lebanon and any other willing nation cos if they fail to fight ISIS here in the Levant, they will definitely fight them on their home soil.
So much sense, brother. But believe it or not, Putin has been able, and will continue to preempt their every move, even before they will think of it. Syria provides the platform with which Russia can clearly send the message clear to the US and its accomplice in global crimes against the world order that it will no longer be business as usual. Russia now knew it must act in the face of any antagonism by the hegemon due to what happened to Gaddafi and Libya, which is the eye opener that the West can never be trusted for their words. The Ukrainian issue further allowed Russia to see for it self that, failure to act now will not only allude weakness on its part as it is, but on the long run, it will greatly adverse its strategic and geopoliical interest.

Anyone thinking that Russia does'nt care much about Syria or Assad, is still unable to comprehend what really is at stake here; why Russia will not hessitate to go the extra mile in ensuring the status quo remains in Syria.

Syria is in the middle of the battle to satisfy the insatiable hydrocarbon needs of Europe, for which the US wants its own gas (along with that of its allies) to be sold to Europe via its allies in crime, Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc, building the pipelines cutting through Syria. But the Assad regime refused to play ball, thus, the move to remove him and install a puppet government like in Ukrain to step in. It is common knowledge that the US and its allies have spend over $50 billion to aid the rebels, whoch of course was out of their own making, while at the same time, Russia continue to pour in weapons in droves for the Assad regime. Failure to do so would weaken the leverage Russia have over Europe in Gas needs, and also would diminish the high prices enjoyed by Gazprom, should the Hegemon have its way. Not to mention that gas is the primary source of Russia's wealth, and that Europe is it's major buyer.

One can now see why Russia can't give up on Assad, and though she will definitly act with caution and diplomatically, she will not blink twice if the need arises that she must go it alone, with or without any coalition. And its decisions when taken, would definitly be decisive.

This much the US understands, and for once, the mad heads in washington knew they must talk to the Russians "military to military", for the obvious reasons. cheesy
For, once any Russian jet starts flying in the skies of Syria, no coalition fighter jet or anti plane guns dares target it, except you want an open confrontation between nuclear powers.

Lavrov even made this clea to the US recently.
This much they understand. Thus, the needs for the "talks."

I honestly wonder what is it they would be talking about when both sides knew what they are primarily after.cheesy

And the news just coming in now via the pentagon is that Russia has deployed and landed four fighter jets in Syria.cheesy

Never doubt the power of the Russians to go it alone; and never mind the freaks in Europe or the US complains hereafter. Russia would be seen as a great nation that takes on the greatest terrorist of all the globe-ISIS. Public opinion would sway thier way, and at the end, it wont matter what the US thinks or says then.cheesy

This also they understand!cheesy
Only the innocent fansters and the ignorants that doesnt know.

Foreign Affairs › Lavrov: US Knows Location Of ISIS But Does'nt Strike Them by Appleyard(op): 8:01pm On Sep 18, 2015
"Lavrov: Russia has information that the US knows the position of the IS, but does not bomb them".
Russia has information that the US know the specific location points of the "Islamic State" (extremist organization banned in Russia), but did not give an order to strike on the positions "of the IS," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
In the program "Sunday times" on "Channel 1" Lavrov said that the US government "was not originally very careful in creating a coalition, or conspired towards goals that were not the declared ones."
According to the foreign minister, the coalition was created spontaneously, "within just a few days it was announced that it includes a number of countries and then begun strikes."
Lavrov said that the analysis of aviation operations in countries included in the coalition, "creates a strange impression," - as if in addition to fighting "the IS" "there is something else which is a concern of the coalition."
The minister said: "I hope not to disappoint anyone in saying that some of our colleagues from the incoming coalition of countries have information on where exactly and on what positions are "IS" or other subdivisions, and the commander of the coalition (the United States ) does not give consent to striking them. "

@Appleyard, It can be on any topic. Zemandi gets thousands of writing orders from their clients and they distribute the orders to their writers (You and I). When ever you request for assignment, one of the pending writing orders will be sent within 5 minutes with accompanying instructions. You have just 8 hours to write and submit the article otherwise it will expire and you won't get paid for it. But you can write and submit your article within one hour and request for another assignment.

The assignment can be web content, promotional articles, awareness articles or even adverts. Whatever it is, all you have to do is... read and understand the instructions (exactly what the client wants) and then do your research on google. They are not difficult articles. However, you can be given a highly technical article to write. If you think it is too difficult for you, just reject the assignment and request another one. The links to submit, request and even reject assignments are already there in their website.


@Tommy: Will get across to you soon.
Honestly, to write over there is a problem, Cause i did some fact finding and came accross alot of talks that the zemandi is a fraud. They will refuse all ur works, only for them to later submit it to the client and get all the. pay for themselves. They are not even rated by the rating body.

A foreign policy championed by Putin trumps anyone supported by Obama in my books

Below are excerpts of Washington's foreign policy through the lips of key government officials in case you have forgotten:

"I have met with these brave fighters, and they are not Al-Qaeda. To the contrary: They are Libyan patriots who want to liberate their nation. We should help them do it." - John McCain, Benghazi, Libya April 22, 2011 - as an Al- Qaeda flag was hoisted over a Benghazi courthouse......

“Of course they are Muslims, but they are moderates. I guarantee you that they are moderates — I know them, and I have been with them.”- Senator John McCain speaking about the rebels in Syria, Washington, September 3, 2013

“Not true, not true! Frankly, I just disagree… There’s about 70 percent still who are Free Syrian Army.” Senator John McCain Washington, September 18, 2013

“This is an acknowledgment that U.S. stated goal to degrade and destroy ISIS is not working. If it were, we would not be talking to these not quite foreign terrorist groups.”

Retired Army general and former CIA Director David Petraeus advocating for the use of Al-Qaeda (perpetrators of 9/11) to fight ISIS.
