Foreign Affairs / What Is Daesh’s Endgoal? by jnhmaxxwell: 1:47am On Nov 22, 2015
by Non-Zionist Anglo Observer

The Saker’s excellent analysis on the position in Syria ‘after Paris’ poses several possibilities as to why Daesh appears to have a death wish, but frankly confesses to finding none of them satisfactory.

Under such circumstances, it is usually the best policy to eschew inherently unprovable conspiracy theories (particularly since unrealistic ones do us all a grave disservice by potentially leading people to reject our points about the actually barely concealed and very real ‘conspiracy’ of the Anglo-Zionists and their allies to use Wahhabi terrorists as a weapon of foreign policy).

Better, I would suggest, to reach for the simple razor this predictive text stubbornly refuses me to allow to name!

Because Daesh told us what their game is (at least as far as their fighters and middle managers believe) when they called their online magazine ‘Dabiq’. It’s exactly as if a group of Christian End Time heretics named their propaganda organ ‘Armageddon’.

The thing to understand is surely that we are not dealing with rational, materialistic human beings, but with Islamist millennialist lunatics

In this, they are not so dissimilar to the Jewish ones trying to breed the pure red heifer to sacrifice at the rebuilt Temple in order to summon the long-awaited Messiah, or the Dispensationalist/Rapture Christians who rather fancy Armageddon and being part of the select band getting physically lifted to Heaven.

The precise details of their End Times fantasies/heresies differ, but the mentality is the same.

The town of Dabiq, north of Aleppo is the venue for a prophesied Last Battle at which a vast Crusader army – made up from soldiers from 80 nations – having beaten the forces of the Muslims, will be defeated by the last 10,000 survivors.

At which point Jesus appears, declares Himself a Muslim, breaks a big cross, kills all the pigs and leads the conquest of Constantinople and then Rome.

One other factor needs to be borne in mind: A related prophesy says that all this will only happen after a brief alliance between the ‘Romans’ (read NATO) and the Muslims against the Shia and a power taken to be Russia.

With this in mind, the frantic efforts of Daesh to attack everyone possible and draw down the wrath of the world on a patch of desert in northern Syria is not strategically inept at all.

It would only be inept if they wanted to live and to beat their enemies in a conventional war of physical and territorial liberation. They do not.

They want to lure Russia/Iran AND the USA and 79 allies into a ground war, with the reasonable expectation that either an accident in the crowded airspace, or their fellow End Time lunatics in Washington (hello, Mr McCain), will spark a fighting war between their two enemy blocs.

And they also look forward to seeing their own ranks reduced to 10,000 as the final prerequisite for the Last Battle at Dabiq. Every Russian bomb brings them nearer to that goal, but American, French, British etc are all welcome to the Last Party.

The only ‘mystery’ here is not the aim of Daesh, but how intelligent people (which many of them are, as The Saker notes, they are tactically extremely adept) can believe such superstitious nonsense?

To ask such a question demands obliviousness to the superstitions of the materialistic West, for we – and not just Senator McCain – have plenty of them, no less absurd.

All this is NOT automatically to discount the possibility that Daesh’s top leadership are ‘simply obeying orders’ in order to break up Arab states on behalf of Eretz Israel or American oil companies, but it is a fact-based alternative explanation for their behaviour, and it surely helps explain the stubborn courage of their “poor (and very) bloody infantry”.
Foreign Affairs / Re: 7th Week Of The Russian Intervention In Syria: Dramatic Surge In Intensity by jnhmaxxwell: 4:24am On Nov 21, 2015
As for the Syrians, Assad has just declared that he would not leave power before the defeat of Daesh. In other words, Assad has just turned the tables on the West and declared that the “departure” (i.e. elimination) of Daesh is now a pre-condition of his departure. Only time will show whether this is grandstanding or true confidence.
What about the “Indispensable Nation”:
I realize that bashing the USA is always a popular exercise, but for all my hostility to the AngloZionist Empire I also have to admit that the US is in a very bad and complicated position: it has created a bloody mess (literally), then it painted itself into a political corner, and all of its so-called ‘regional allies’ are, I believe, inherently disloyal and pursue their own interests. If you look at the relationship between the USA, on one hand, and countries like Turkey, Qatar, the KSA or Israel on the other, it really is hard to establish who uses whom and whether what we are seeing is a case of a tail wagging the dog. Take Qatar: there is no doubt that the presence of CENTCOM in Qatar gave the Qatari a strong sense of impunity which, in turn, bred arrogance and, frankly, irresponsibility. The Qatari wanted Assad “out” so they could get their gas to the Mediterranean, but now they are directly involved in the bombing of a Russian airliner. As for their much wanted pipeline, they can forget it for at least a decade now. How smart was that? More relevantly: is Qatar a good ally for the USA? What about Turkey which is actively supporting, financing, equipping and training Daesh (and al-Qaeda – same difference!) under the convenient protection of NATO.

They apparently cannot decide which is worse: Assad or the Kurds, and since they fear them both, they end up in bed with liver-eating sociopaths. Is that a good ally for the USA? I won’t even go into the Israeli issue – we all know that AIPAC runs Congress and the Neocons try run the White House. None of which elicits any big love or loyalty from the Israelis who are constantly looking at the “Russian option” (partnering up with Russia) to get things done in the Middle-East. Besides, since the slow-mo genocide of Palestinians by the Ziocrazies currently in power is continuing, being allied to the Israelis means being hated by everybody else. Still, at least and unlike the other “regional allies” of the USA, the Israeli regime itself is stable, fairly predictable and can unleash an immense amount of violence. So compared to the Saudis, the Israelis look outright attractive. Still, at the end of the day, the USA has to try to get out of this mess without alienating its allies too much, but also without being manipulated by them.

Some seem to believe that the correct policy for the USA would be to work together with Russia. While this would undoubtedly make sense for the USA as a country, it would make no sense at all for the USA as an Empire. For the US (AngloZionist) Empire and the “deep state” forces which run it Russia is, indeed, a far bigger threat because Russia directly threatens the imperial status of the USA. The USA can either be the “Indispensable Nation” and world hegemon, or a “normal country” part of a civilized and multipolar world system ruled by the rule of law. It cannot be (or do) both. So when the US “deep state” is categorical in its refusal to do anything meaningful with Russia, it does act logically, at least from its point of view. As any other Empire, the USA sees its relationship with any competitor (actual or possible) as a zero-sum game which means that anything good for Russia is bad for the USA and vice-versa. Yes, this is sick and sociopathic, but this is how all Empires function. Hence the current US policies: the only good coalition is a US-lead one, any anti-Russian force must be supported, there will be no negotiations with Russia – only demands and ultimatums, etc. Add to this the apparently total lack of well-educated and competent diplomats (Americans get killed in every single negotiation they have conducted with the Russians), and you will see why the US is so averse to any notion of being anything other than hostile and confrontational with Russia.

The US of A is in a terrible mess, the upcoming elections are only making matters worse and that makes the USA highly unpredictable. Yes, there is, I suppose, a small chance that the French might set a precedent for collaboration with Russia, but I am not holding my breath here. Maybe if another massacre is committed in Europe, especially Germany, but even that is a long shot. Still, there have been cases in history when a slave gave some good advice to his master and maybe this will happen this time around. I sure hope so.
Addendum: was I really wrong about my predictions about the Russian intervention in Syria?
I think that this is a good time to reply to those who have accused me of being wrong about the Russian intervention in Syria. I could have done that as soon as these accusations were made, but I concluded that to do so in the flagwaving “go Russia! go!” kind of atmosphere this was futile. Many at that time were sure that this was the “showndown of the century” (no less), a “game changer” and that it was all “over” for Daesh. Seven weeks into this intervention, I propose to revisit what I actually said.

First, I never said that no military intervention would take place. In fact, I repeated over and over again that I cannot prove a negative and that an intervention *might* take place, I even suggested one (limited to intelligence support, training and weapons). All I said that the kind of intervention which was discussed 7-8 weeks ago would not take place: no Russian boots, no MiG-31, no forces in Damascus, no Russian SSBNs, no Airborne Forces, etc. And, indeed, that kind of intervention did not happen. Furthermore, I also said that the notion that Russia could “protect” Syria from NATO is laughable. It still is! Does anybody still seriously believe that the Russian contingent in Syria really has that kind of capabilities?! If so, I got a bridge to sell them. Now, I will gladly admit that I did not think that Putin would agree to what I consider an extremely daring and risky option of sending a very small force into Syria, a force just barely big enough to (maybe) give enough relief for the Syrians to reorganize and counter-attack. That I did, indeed, miss. As did everybody else who predicted a *much* larger Russian intervention (with MiG-31s and all the rest of the nonsense). I will also admit that I am still amazed at the fact that the Russians, who are both intervention-averse and risk-averse, did go for such a risky move and I marvel at the superb way they executed their operation. But they way they actually did it is something which nobody predicted.

Second, I also got in trouble for raising the alarm about the limited capabilities inherent to any air operation and, specifically, to a rather small Russian one. Now that the Russians had to use their cruise missiles and strategic aviation (which I did predict, by the way) is there anybody who will deny that I was right about the limitation of using airpower against Daesh, especially with the low number of aircraft initially brought in?
Third, I did point out that the Russian law and general public are extremely foreign intervention averse. That is still very true and that is still limiting the Kremlin’s options. This is why Russian officials go out of their way to stress that the Russian intervention in Syria is primarily in Russia’s national interest.
I want to set the record straight today not because of some ruffled feathers or a hurt ego, but because I am sick and tired of having to reply to a toxic combo of strawman accusations and jingoistic predictions. High-fiving, flag waving and back-slapping are all very fine unless you are the one sent into combat. Then they become obscene.
There are those out there (quite a few, in fact), who accuse me of “pessimism” and of writing “defeatist” analyses when what is needed is “uplifting” and “inspiring” essays. If that is the accusation, then I plead “guilty as charged”. But I will also add that this is not how I see my role. My role is to write truthful and honest analyses regardless of whether they are received as “uplifting” or “pessimistic”. There are plenty of “inspiring” and “uplifting” blogs out there, so if that is what you are in to, you know where to find them.

Finally, I also got into trouble for saying early on that one ought to wait for facts before coming to conclusions about what happened to Flight 9268 and for saying that my personal working hypothesis was that it was a bomb. Then I was accused of being naïve when I said that I did not believe that the Russians would lie about it. I know that there are still those who believe that the Israelis did it or that some kind of directed energy weapon did it. Whatever. There never was a shred of evidence to support either one of these hypotheses and I very much doubt that the future will bring any. To which we will be told that “the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence”. Again – whatever. It is also possible that a swarm of subatomic UFOs did it. “Possible” is a very low standard since almost anything is possible. But is it “probable” or “likely”? As soon as the “evidentiary bar” is raise just above the “possible” level all these theories instantly collapse. Again, while others are welcome to explore all sorts of “possible” hypotheses, I personally will stick to those who are at least probable.

At the end of the day it is you – the reader – who get’s to pick and chose whatever you like. There is a big and diverse blogosphere out there and that is a very good thing. I strive to present fact-based and logical analyses and I am not trying to win a popularity contest of “inspire” you (-: unless, of course, you find fact-based and logical analyses inspiring :-)
Having clarified this, I won’t do that again the next time I am accused of writing what I never wrote or of failing to cheer on the good guys.

Third, there is no doubt in my mind, but many others do disagree, that the Zionist regime in power in Paris is making the maximal use of all these events to stir up an anti-Muslim hysteria in France. And I am not talking about the stupidity of insisting to serve an non-halal meal with wine to an Iranianleader who also happens to be a cleric, or the now “old” anti-hijab harassment in French schools. What I am talking about is the openly declared idea that traditional Islam is incompatible with the secular French Republic and that it therefore represents a danger to society. Conversely, the only “good” form of Islam is one of abject collaborationism with the Zionist regime typified by the infamousHassen Chalghoumi, Imam of the mosque in Drancy. The message is clear: the only “good Muslim” is a Zionist Muslim. All others are potential or actual, terrorists and shall be treated as such. That, in turn, makes it easier for Takfiri recruiters to find more volunteers for their terrorist operations which, in turn, make it possible to the regime to pass even more draconian laws, including laws against free speech or Internet freedom. Being a real, pious and practicing, Muslim in France will become very, very hard in the near future. It certainly appears to me that the warnings of Sheikh Imran Hosein are coming true.

The unknown “breaking point” of Daesh
After six weeks of very hard fighting Russia has brought in the big stick, but those who expect Daesh to collapse under Russian air operations should not rejoice too soon. Breaking Daesh will probably take a much bigger effort. But let me explain why I am saying “probably”.
For the first time in many weeks and months Daesh is truly in a difficult situation, not a desperate one yet, but a difficult one. Unless something changes in the current dynamic, time is now beginning to run against Daesh. Still, the resilience of Daesh in the current conditions is close to impossible to predict, at least without some very good information from the frontlines and that is something which most analysts, including myself, don’t have. When a force is put under pressure the way Daesh has been, there is a breaking point somewhere in the future at which point the force collapses really fast. The problem is that it is extremely difficult to estimate how far away in time such a (wholly theoretical) breaking point might be because it really depends on the morale and determination of the Daesh fighters on the ground. All we can say at this point in time is that such a breaking point exists in a theoretical future and that we hope that it will be reached soon. But we also have to be aware that this might not be the case at all. Not only that, but we have to take a long hard look at the most puzzling issue of them all: why did Daesh deliberately place itself in such a position. Here are a few hypotheses I can come up with:
1) Daesh leaders are crazed lunatics. They are in such a hurry to get to heaven that all they want is to die in combat against the infidels. Alternatively, they are so deluded about their power that they think that they can take on the entire planet and prevail. While I cannot discount this hypothesis completely, I find it highly unlikely simply because even if the rank-and-file Takfiri is an ignorant goat herder, the middle and top level commanders are clearly sophisticated and well-educated.
2) Daesh has outlived its utility for the AngloZionist Empire and now it is sent into a battle it cannot win, but which will kill off thousands of now useless liver-eating sociopaths. Maybe. I don’t know where any evidence to support this hypothesis could be found, but this one at least make sense to me.
3) The real purpose for Daesh has always been the same: to inflict such damage to the entire Middle-East that, by comparison, and Israeli occupation would appear as a liberation to the few “lucky” ones who would survive the medieval horrors meted out by Daesh on a daily basis on all the territories it controls. So the bigger the bloodier the fight, the better for the Israelis who have taken a relatively strong state controlled by a relatively strong Baathist leaders – Assad père et fils – and who have now turned it into a heap of smoldering ruins. The problem with this theory is that unless something changes Daesh will not win, but lose, and that Assad will come out not weaker, but much stronger. And I won’t even mention the fact that Syria now has a small, but battle hardened military whereas the putatively “invincible” Tsahal only is experienced at shooting unarmed civilians. So if there was an Israeli plan to prepare for a future “Grand Israel” it backfired pretty badly.
Frankly, I find none of the hypotheses above really convincing and that makes me nervous. The question which always haunts all analysts is “what am I missing” and, in this case, it also haunts me. I honestly cannot imagine that the Daesh leaders would sincerely believe that they can win the kind of “war against everybody” they apparently are determined to fight. I would hope that somebody with better understanding of Daesh, fluent in Arabic and well-versed in Takfiri literature would give us all the reply to this apparently simple question: what does Daesh really want? I will gladly admit that I have no idea. And that worries me a lot.


The Resistance and its options Seven weeks into the Russian intervention the Resistance to Empire is doing well and it still has the potential to intensify its struggle. First and foremost, what are most needed at this point in time are more combatants on the ground. I still believe that the Russians are not going to provide ground troops for Syria. My guess is that Hezbollah is pretty close to be maxed out. Unless I am missing something, this means that the only party capable of providing many more combatants on the ground is Iran. Right now, the official line out of Moscow, is that one of the goals of the Russian intervention is to give the Syrians enough time to reorganize and field a much bigger force. Maybe. I hope that they can do that soon enough to fully use the momentum created by the Russian intervention.
As for the Russians, are are also coming close to being maxed out. In terms of air force, they could have allocated even more aircraft, but they did not do so simply because they know that there is only that much any air force can do when intervening in a civil war. Still, this time around the Russians really “mean business”: According to the latest figures, the latest Russian strikes was formidable: ten ships from the Caspian Sea and the Mediterranean coordinated strategic cruise missile strikes on Daesh targets. 18 cruise missiles were fired by only four ships the Caspian Sea flotilla, see the footage here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf2SZ_gjtA0

According to official figures, in just four days, the Russian air force have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types. Just one cruise missile strike in Deir ez-Zor had killed more than 600 militants. Clearly, Daesh is taking a formidable beating (the “pretend airstrikes” of the US-lead “pretend coalition” probably gave them a false sense of security of what an angry superpower can *really* do went it means it).

I am quite certain that Russia can keep up this pace of operations for a long while: while the stocks of the latest “Kalibr-NK” are reportedly low, Russia is now using a lot of her immense Cold War arsenal where there stocks of cruise missiles and gravity bombs are plentiful. Russia will run out of targets long before she runs out of these strategic weapons. This is no joke, by the way: it makes no sense to fire multi-million Ruble cruise missiles at non-lucrative, secondary or even tactical targets. The situation is better with relatively cheaper gravity bombs, but the biggest problem is that Daesh targets will eventually split into two groups: destroyed ones and well hidden ones. At this point the Russian intervention will not become useless, but it will reach a point of diminishing marginal returns, both in a financial and in a strategic sense. This happened to the USA and NATO in Kosovo and it happened to Israel in Lebanon. Of course, the AngloZionists then switched their attention to what they call “infrastructure” and “support” target destruction, but which are basically terror strikes against the civilian population. Russia will not engage in such systematic policy of warcrimes and thus the option of bombing Raqqa into oblivion is not something we will see the Russians do (the US, in contrast, probably will). This leaves only the naval component of the Russian task force.

The main task of the Russian naval task force has been to protect the Russian logistics and to provide air defenses to the newly built airbase with Latakia. Apparently, Russian denial notwithstanding, there are S-400s in Khmeimim, but if not, we can assume that S-300s are. So the air-defense task for the Russian naval task force is now been replaced by a role of support for the Russian logistical effort which I expect to not only continue, but even to also sharply increase. This is where the Russians can do the most good and where they are not maxed out: help the Syrians reequip, reassemble, reorganize, retrain and *finally* provide them with relatively modern equipment (at least on par with what Daesh has). My guess is that after 4 years of war the Syrians need literally *everything* and this is were the Russians can play a crucial role.
The current Russian naval task force allocated to Syria is far from being trivial, see for yourself:
[img]http://thesaker.is/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Russian-Naval-Task-Force-for-Syria-1024x1024.jpg[/img]
Graphic by SouthFront

This is by no means a small force. Still, there have been some speculations that the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov might join the naval task force off the Syrian coast. I find that rather unlikely. Unlike the US aircraft carriers, the Admiral Kuznetsov has was designed from day 1 to be primarily and anti-aircraft platform (primarily to protect the Russian submarine bastions) and not as a landstrike aircraft carrier. The Russians are currently reconsidering this role, but for the time being the Kuznetsov has very limited landstrike capabilities. Of course, if needed, the Kuznetsov could be used to strengthen the air-defense capabilities of Syria or the Russian contingent in Syria, but that is not something which will directly affect Daesh. Still, I would not count out the Kuznetsov either: according to the latest reports, she will be sent to a patrolling area off the Kola Peninsula, but that is not set in stone.
In terms of direct attack support, a possible Russian option would be to use submarine-based cruise missiles, but with 25 long-range strategic bombers already allocated to this task, this would not be a game changer either. My feeling is that the Russians are now as strongly committed as they can. The only thing they could do now would be to increase the flow of modern weapons to Syria and to provide the technical personnel to train the Syrians. In my opinion this, along with an energetic political campaign to force the West to accept the facts on the ground, is the most likely Russian strategy for the future: continue to pound Daesh, while re-building the Syrian military and “engaging” Russia’s western “partners”.
Frankly, I will conclude by saying that I find this Russian strategy as militarily sound as it is morally correct. Russia cannot win this war “for” the Syrians. The best thing Russian can do is to provide meaningful help, and that she is very much doing.
With Hezbollah probably maxed-out, the big unknown is Iran: will the Iranians dare to bring in a much larger contingent of ground-forces to take the pressure off the Syrians? I hope not – because that would mean that the Syrian could do well even without such aid, but I still consider an Iranian surge as very likely.
Foreign Affairs / Re: 7th Week Of The Russian Intervention In Syria: Dramatic Surge In Intensity by jnhmaxxwell: 4:23am On Nov 21, 2015
Second, and this is significant, the Russians clearly decided to take advantage of the fact that the long-range aviation was not constrained by any logistical difficulties: the force they brought in this time around is a big and powerful one: not only will another 37 aircraft now join the Russian force in Syria (including the formidable SU-34: to the 4 already present in Syria another 8 will be added for a total force of 12), but 25 long-range bombers are now fully dedicated to the Russian effort, including Tu-22M3, Tu-95MC and Tu-160. Now this is a “big stick”. Even the “old” Tu-95MC and Tu-22M3 are highly modernized versions of excellent airframes who can deliver plenty of very powerful and highly accurate munitions in any weather conditions, including gravity bombs and strategic cruise missiles. In other words, Russia has at least doubled her Syria-based capabilities and much more than doubled it if the Russia-based long-range bombers are included. From being a small force, the Russian air force contingent now dwarfs what the French will bring in on their Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and what the Empire has been using until now. We can now expect the Daesh logistics, communications and infrastructure to suffer a major degradation. And just to make sure that it hurts were it counts, the Russians began their long-range attacks with strikes on oil processing and distribution networks, including depots, trucks, fueling stations, etc. The Russian long-range bombers will not make a big difference to the Daesh frontline fighters, but their attacks on the Daesh infrastructure will free the Russian helicopters and Su-25s to finally provide close air support to the Syrian forces (so far, this task was mostly limited to the Syrian Air force which cannot fly at night). I also believe that the current SU-24 and SU-34 force will also be given many more frontline attack missions to provide the Syrians with much needed firepower. Bottom line: the Russians have brought in a “big stick” and this time Daesh will really hurt. But, remember, Daesh wanted exactly that (see above).

Third. The Kremlin did an excellent job of “selling” this dramatic increase of the pace and intensity of Russian operations in Syria. Polls show that most Russians fully approve. However, from personal contacts in Russia, I am told that they approve but are getting very uncomfortable. There is no denying that Russia has now suffered from what I like to call a “mandate creep”: from going in to support the Syrians and fighting the Takfiri crazies away from home rather than at home, Russia is now promising retribution for the murder of her citizens. Putin made that absolutely clear when he said that military forces and special services will be used to hunt down the perpetrators of this atrocity. He said:
We will find an punish these criminals. We will do this with no limitation period. We will find out all their names. Will will hunt them down everywhere, regardless of where they are hiding. We will find them in any location on the planet and we will punish them. (…).


He even added a “Dubya” -like warning that anybody supporting or protecting them will be fully responsible for the consequences of doing so.
All those who might try to render assistance to these criminals must know that the consequences for such a protection will lie entirely upon them.
Keep in mind that the last time Putin issued such a warning was in 1999 when he promised that Russia would hunt down the Chechen Wahabi terrorist everywhere, “even in toilets”, and kill every one of them. At this occasion Putin used a colorful Russian slang idiom “мочить” which can very roughly be translated as “off them off” (or even to “f**king blast them”). What is less remembered is that the Russians did just that: they killed every single Takfiri insurgency leader including Baraev, Dudaev, Maskhadov, Iandarbiev, Hattab, Raduev, Basaev and many many others. Some of these executions were botched (Iandarbiev) some were superb (Dudaev, Hattab). But Putin got every single one of them. Every one. Putin has just made exactly the same threat, though in more diplomatic terms. And while most Russian agree with Putin, and while they know that he does not make empty threats, they also realize that suddenly a small and local military operation has turned into a potentially worldwide chase for terrorists. Considering how poorly the USA did just that after 9/11 there are plenty of good reasons to be worried. But I would also immediately add that most Russians also realize that Putin and Dubya are in different leagues and that while the USA seems to be chronically unable to do anything right “Russia does not start wars – she ends them” (as the expression goes in Russia). Bottom line: I believe that the Russians will not repeat the mistakes made by the clueless US Neocons and that the hunt for Daesh leaders is now on.


Fourth. There is an uncanny political dimension to this about which I am frankly very unsure. Everybody in Russia knows that Qatar is the prime sponsor of terrorism in Syria and in Egypt. How will the Kremlin square that knowledge with the publicly made promise to punish every person guilty for the murder of 224 Russian citizens in anybody’s guess. Since Qatar is basically one giant US base, there is no way to strike at Qatar without hitting the CENTCOM. Alternatively, the Russians could decided to hunt down and kill specific Qatari officials in various “accidents”. What is certain is that the Russian foreign intelligence service – SVR – has teams capable of such actions (Zaslon, Vympel), as does the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff – GRU – which has Spetsnaz GRU officer teams and special operation forces SSO units capable of such operations. For better deniability (assuming that is a goal), the Russians might also use their deep connections inside the Russian mob (quite a few of whom are ex-secret services, especially in the middle-ranks) to “subcontract” such an operation. Whatever options the Kremlin choses, I would not sleep well if I was a Qatari official involved in this atrocity. Bottom line: Putin has publicly made it a point of personal honor to get every single one of the bastards responsible, regardless of where or who they are, and I strongly believe that he will deliver on that promise.


Fifth. There are other nations besides Qatar who are also very much co-sponsors of Daesh. They include Turkey (and, by extension, NATO), the KSA and even the Ukraine (see here and here). Potentially, all of them can become targets of Russian retaliation (whatever form it takes). Finally, there are all the western financial institution who are providing crucial services for Daesh, including many involving the export of oil from Daesh controlled territory and the import of modern weapon (primarily US-made) into Daesh territory. The list is long and the fact that the Russians have now openly threatened a long list of powerful entities is certainly a dramatic increase in the scope of the Russian involvement in this war.

Sixth. As with any escalation the stakes and the risks for Russia have now sharply increased. The timeframe has now officially changed from “about three months” to “as long as needed”, the size and nature of the force committed now fully engages the Russian political prestige and all of the above makes Russia a prime target for Daesh retaliation, both inside and outside Russia. Now that Putin has officially declared that Russian special services are tasked with the elimination of those who blew up the Russian aircraft, the use of some kind of “boots on the ground”, even if these are “special boots”, becomes much more likely. For somebody like myself who has always been very reluctant about the use of military force it is disturbing to see how rapidly Russia is getting pulled-in into the war in Syria with no exit strategy I can discern, at least not in the foreseeable future. I personally do not believe that the Russians will send in boots, but I cannot say that I am categorically certain that this will not happen. Currently unpredictable events might well force them to.

The attacks in Paris
Tragic and horrible as these attacks were, the first thing that comes to my mind is the obscene difference in which the western media and zombified public treated 129 (provisional figure) murdered French and 224 murdered Russians. We had the “Je Suis Charlie” abomination and now we have the “Je Suis Paris” collective (planetary!) grief-fest. I don’t recall any “Je Suis Russie”, or “Je Suis Donbass” grief-fests? Or any “Je Suis Aleppo” or even “Je Suis Iraq”. Apparently, Russian or Arab lives matter a hell of a lot less than US or French lives (even if only in Iraq the body count is well over a million!). This is disgusting, unworthy of respect, utterly dishonest and terminally stupid. This is no “homage” to any victims, but your garden variety media-induced hysteria. The West ought to be ashamed of such pathetic lack of simple courage and maturity. Truly, did they really believe that they can play at such “terrorist games” and not eventually get hurt themselves (by a false flag or otherwise)?! Did not Putin warn the West of exactly that when he said:

[b]I’m urged to ask those who created this situation: do you at least realize now what you’ve done? But I’m afraid that this question will remain unanswered, because they have never abandoned their policy, which is based on arrogance, exceptionalism and impunity. (…) In fact, the Islamic State itself did not come out of nowhere. It was initially developed as a weapon against undesirable secular regimes. (…) The situation is extremely dangerous. In these circumstances, it is hypocritical and irresponsible to make declarations about the threat of terrorism and at the same time turn a blind eye to the channels used to finance and support terrorists, including revenues from drug trafficking, the illegal oil trade and the arms trade. It is equally irresponsible to manipulate extremist groups and use them to achieve your political goals, hoping that later you’ll find a way to get rid of them or somehow eliminate them. I’d like to tell those who engage in this: Gentlemen, the people you are dealing with are cruel but they are not dumb. They are as smart as you are. So, it’s a big question: who’s playing who here? The recent incident where the most “moderate” opposition group handed over their weapons to terrorists is a vivid example of that. We consider that any attempts to flirt with terrorists, let alone arm them, are short-sighted and extremely dangerous. This may make the global terrorist threat much worse, spreading it to new regions around the globe, especially since there are fighters from many different countries, including European ones, gaining combat experience with Islamic State. Unfortunately, Russia is no exception. Now that those thugs have tasted blood, we can’t allow them to return home and continue with their criminal activities. Nobody wants that, right?[/b]

Prophetic words by Putin indeed. But since the AngloZionists have a long and “distinguished” tradition of using death-squads, vicious dictatorships and, of course, terrorists, Putin’s words were ignored. Heck, even after the Paris attacked the West is still supporting Nazis in the Ukraine! I suppose it will take some Nazi atrocity in London, Warsaw or Munich to wake up the zombified western general public to the simple reality that sponsoring and using terrorist is always a very dangerous policy. If not, then the West will continue on a neverending cycle of terrorism sponsoring and grief-fests, over and over again.
[Sidebar: I am often criticized for stating that Russia is not part of the West, ever was, and never will be. If you believe that I am wrong, ask yourself a simple question: why is it that Russian victims of atrocities (including Western sponsored atrocities!) are treated just like Black or Brown people and not like the other putatively “civilized” Whites? QED.]

Oh how much I wish most people in the West could understand Russian read the Russians newspapers, watch Russian talkshows or listen to Russian conferences! They would see something which they have been conditioned to consider impossible: far from fearing the West, most Russians find it crippled with narrow-minded consumerism, devoid from any real moral or ethical values, fantastically ignorant and provincial and suffering from terminal infantilism. Even the tiny pro-Western minority now gave up on defending the West and, at most, it retorts against the typical tsunami of anti-western arguments something like “what about us – are we not as bad?” or even “let’s not sink down to their level!”. It is quite amazing to see that happening in a country which used to almost worship anything western just 20-30 years ago! I should add that if the most despised and ridiculed country must, of course, be Poland, France is not far behind in the list of “most pathetic”, As for the USA, it is the least despised adversary simply because most Russian respect the US for defending whatever it perceives has its national interests and for making Europe it’s “bitch”. The Russians always say that to get something done one must talk to the USA and waste time with its European colony.

If we look beyond all that rather shameful display of narcissistic self-pity, the real question is what is France going to do about it? Here again, there are two dimensions:
First, in purely military terms France will now commit the Charles de Gaulle with its wing of Rafales to the strikes on Daesh. Good, but compared to what the Russians are brining to the fight, it’s really irrelevant.

Second, in purely political terms, the French just might do something very interesting: apparently they have agreed with the Russians that the Russian forces in Syria will provide “cover” for the French. I am not really sure why a Rafale would need “cover” but whatever – what matters here is that the French have de-facto entered into an alliance with Russia over Syria and that, in turn, could open the door for other western countries. In other words, we just might (finally!) see a multi-national Russian-lead alliance take on the fight with Daesh and that, in turn, means that these countries would de-facto find themselves allied with Damascus. If northern Europe walks in lockstep with Uncle Sam, countries of souther Europe (Italy? Greece?) might decide to assist the Russians, as might Egypt or Jordan. I am not sure that such a coalition will happen, but at least now it might and that, by itself, is also an interesting development. This being said, Hollade is about to meet Obama in the US and he will probably be told in no uncertain terms that he must not “play ally” with Russia. Considering how abjectly subservient Hollande has been the the USA, I am not optimistic at all about the French meaningfully joining forces with Russia.
Foreign Affairs / 7th Week Of The Russian Intervention In Syria: Dramatic Surge In Intensity by jnhmaxxwell: 4:21am On Nov 21, 2015
This column was written for the Unz Review

This week was clearly dominated by two major events: the terrorist attacks in Paris and the Russian official declaration that Kogalymavia Flight 9268 was, indeed, destroyed by a bomb.
First, I would notice that contrary to so many prediction that the Russians, Egyptians and other nations involved would lie and cover up this attack, this did not happen. Both the Russians and the Egyptians were open and honest about this attack from day 1. There is something to be learned here: while some politicians clearly have lost the ability to speak the truth even if they tried to, others did not. While lying is the standard operating procedure for most (all?) of “western” (Empire-run) states, this is still not the case everywhere else. It is simply wrong to assume that Russia is some kind of “anti-USA” and that the Kremlin has a policy of systematic deception like the White House. To the extend that Russia could be considered an “anti-USA” this ought to include categorically different methods and motives.
Second, and this might seem highly counter-intuitive, it is undeniable that Daesh did everything in its power to invite retaliation: not only did Daesh immediately claim that it blew up Flight 9268, it also claimed the credit for the Paris attacks and even threatened more such attacks, including against the USA. Again, this might seem outright bizarre, but Daesh appears to be doing everything it can to create a large, multi-national coalition to destroy it. We must keep this in mind every time we consider the retaliatory steps taken by Russia, France and others (see below).

Third, while it is too early to call the recent French attacks a “false flag” it is logical to at least consider that possibility as likely, if not highly likely. I personally do not like knee-jerk conclusions and I would prefer waiting for more info to come out. But at this point in time whether this was a “real” attack or a “false flag” really makes no difference. Why? Because whether the French ‘deep state’ was an accomplice/culprit or whether the regime is completely incompetent, the “action is in the reaction” – that is to say that the French are getting involved with their own military operation in Syria and they are doing so in coordination with the Russians. So, at this point in time, I suggest focusing on that.
But first, let’s look at the really important development this week.
Russia dramatically increases her anti-Daesh operations
While you can read my initial assessment here, the dramatic sure in Russian strikes against Daesh is important enough to take a more detailed look at it.
First, in purely military terms, what the Russians did was both predictable (and I had predicted just that for several weeks now) and highly significant. The small Russian contingent at the Khmeimim air base in Latakia was, if amazingly skilled and outright heroic, simply too small to really hurt Daesh. Keep in mind that Russia does not have the kind of power projection capabilities the USA has and that regardless of that disadvantage, the Russian succeeded in creating a full airport capable of supporting the 24/7 night and day operation of about 50 aircraft in a record time. And they did that without the Empire ever getting any good intelligence about what the Russians were up to. By the time the Empire understood what the Russians had done, it was way too late to stop them. In terms of organization and logistics, this was an absolutely brilliant operation and the folks who organized it most certainly deserve to get a medal and promotion for it. I mention that here because it was probably simply impossible to bring in a bigger force. Even right now the Khmeimim air base is over-saturated with flights and the extra aircraft flow in will make a very difficult situation even worse. This is why I predicted that the long-range aviation would have to be brought in at least as a stop-gap measure until either a “Khmeimim 2” airport is built near Latakia or another airfield(s) become(s) available (maybe in Iran). Bottom line is this: bombing or not bombing, the Russians had no choice but to bring in the long-range aviation. Here is some interesting footage of a pair of Su-30SM escorting a Tu-160 during a cruise missile launch:
Foreign Affairs / Russia Strikes ISIL Targets In Syria With 34 Cruise Missiles (VIDEO) by jnhmaxxwell: 12:49am On Nov 18, 2015
Russia used 34 air launched cruise missiles during the strike on the terrorist targets in Syria, Russian General Staff chief Gen. Valery Gerasimov said Tuesday. The members of the US-led coalition were informed about the operation in advance, he added.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWM3fmtLT_4


“During a massive airstrike today, 14 important ISIL targets were destroyed by 34 air-launched cruise missiles. The targets destroyed include command posts that were used to coordinate ISIL activities in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, munition and supply depots in the northwestern part of Syria,” Gerasimov said.

Russian Air Forces will be strengthened with advanced 37 aircraft, including eight Su-34 bomber jets and four Su-27 fighter jets, Gerasimov noted.

"The Russian General Staff has developed a new plan of the air campaign [in Syria] which envisions deployment of 25 strategic bombers, eight Su-34 Fullback attack aircraft, and four Su-27 Flanker fighter jets," Army General Valery Gerasimov said.

Syrian army with the assistance of the Russian aviation managed to liberate 80 towns and regain control of the territory more than 500 square kilometers.


"In the Northern Syrian Province of Aleppo Syrian Army liberated 40 towns. Government troops deblocked Kweiris airbase and continue to expand security zone near the airport," Gerasimov added.
Ten imagery and signals intelligence spacecraft were deployed in order to improve the space intelligence capabilities in Syria, Russian General Staff chief Gen. Gerasimov said.

“Ten satellites are deployed. By redirecting several spacecraft and adjusting their orbit we now can photograph Syrian territory at required intervals,” he said.

The Islamic State militant’s ability to illegally export energy resources was severely hampered by Russian airstrikes, chief of Russian General Staff General Valery Gerasimov said.


"Several elements of the enemy infrastructure, including two fuel tanker truck columns, were destroyed by Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft, which resulted in “a severe decrease in militants’ ability to illegally export energy resources," Gerasimov said Tuesday during a report to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin at the National Defense Control Center.
Russian Air Forces have conducted 65 sorties and destroyed six ISIL command centers, Gen. Valery Gerasimov said.

"Russian Air Forces based on the Hmeymim airbase in Latakia have conducted 65 sorties of 98 planned for the day. During the airstrikes were destroyed six terrorist command centers, eight arm depots, six oil depots and four facilities used to manufacture explosive devices and rockets," Gerasimov said.

Russian warplanes have destroyed 140 ISIL targets in Syria, Sergey Shoigu said. The number of sorties doubled, Shoigu added.

"The number of sorties was increased two times which allows us to launch powerful precision strikes against ISIL militants deep within the Syrian territory," the Russian Defense Minister said while briefeng the president on Syrian operation in the Russian National Defense Control Center.

Strategic bombers Tu-160, Tu-95MC and Tu-22 are involved in the Russian operation in Syria, the Russian Defense Minister said.

"Tu-160, Tu-95MC and Tu-22 strategic bombers with standard strike aircraft are involved in destroying of terrorist targets in Syria," Shoigu said.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igzjX1IKULw
Twelve Russian bomber jets Tu-22M3 have hit ISIL targets in the Syrian provinces of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, Shoingu said.

“Today, from 2:00 till 2:30 GMT, twelve Tu-22M3 long-range bomber aircraft carried out strikes against ISIL targets in the provinces of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor,” Shoigu said.

Russia will continue massive airstrikes on terrorist targets in Syria. Russia's actions in Syria made it possible for Syrian army to begin an offensive against terrorists.

Russian warplanes launched airstrikes against Islamic State (ISIL) and other militant groups at the request of Syrian President Bashar Assad on September 30.

Since the beginning of the air campaign, Russian Aerospace Forces have carried out around 1,800 sorties, destroying some 2,700 terrorist targets, according to the General Staff. Several hundreds of militants have been killed, and dozens of command centers and depots have been destroyed.

Foreign Affairs / A Warning About The Paris Terror Attacks by jnhmaxxwell: 3:14am On Nov 15, 2015
Dear friends,

While it is way too early to come to any conclusions about what really happened in Paris, I want to share the following thought with you: President Hollande has just declared that what took place was an act of war. This, in turn, means that the entire NATO alliance could be called in to respond to this (under Article 5). As for the attackers, already one Syrian passport was found, and witnesses say that one of them screamed “for Syria” before opening fire. In other words, this attack has just given NATO a pretext to intervene in Syria. Last, but not least, the only French aircraft carrier was schedule to leave its port this Wednesday. For the Middle-East, precisely.

Coincidences?

You tell me.

Politics / Western "Values" Are The Bane Of Our Present Day Civilization ??? by jnhmaxxwell: 12:51am On Nov 15, 2015
This is for a more mature audience . This topic is not for children. To those agitating for the Biafra ideology resuscitated by the Anglozionist Empire. Hopefully, it will never be like Syria.

What is AngloZionist Empire - That is the Union or coalition of Anglo America, Anglo Saxons, the Zionist Israel together with all their permanent puppets (all the countries in EU,Saudi Arabia, Japan, Turkey) and temporary puppets or proxies. Stooges, Saboteurs, Radio Biafra or the Biafran ideology, Wahhabi Boko Haram terrorist franchise, the current president of Ukraine can be refereed to as temporary puppets.

What is their Aim?
Make no mistake, the Anglozionist empire's aim, this time is invade (through colour revolution), divide, conquer, destroy and rule each region like in the Berlin Conference of 1884–85. We already know Boko haram is from Saudi Arabia Wahhabi terrorist organization backed by the same Anglozionist empire. Don't forget again that Saudi arabia is a permanent puppet to the empire and Syria confirms this theory. Besides, the Saudi Family has been backed for years by the Anglozionist Empire.

Now the Biafra ideology is from the Anglozionist empire itself.. Don't be deceived, they planned Syria like Scenario for Nigeria and this is the reason they predicted Nigeria breaking by 2015. They did not predict it, they wanted it and see why bellow.

What about these questions ?
Where did the Nnamdi Kanu guy come from ?? UK..
Which passport is he using ?? British Passport..
Where did he operate the Pirated radio from ? UK
How did the Rwanda genocide started in 1994? Via the same radio station.
Meaning this is a tested theory that works.
The question is will it work in Nigeria

Our Civilization
Let me first of all define civilization for you. Here civilization is being tolerant to your fellow human being or even animals, the more tolerant you are as a people, the more human you are and more civilized as a person.

Why is Russia the most civilized country in the world ? The reason is because you have Orthodox Christians living in the same country with Islamic Chechnya republic of Russia.

This is what our fellow western propagandize media will never let you know because they are too brainwashy.. You have to dig very well because anything they write about Russia is pure propaganda except for Ron Paul institute.

Meanwhile the West or Anglozionist Empire does the opposite. If not they could have allowed Turkey, to join EU or Schenge zone after all Turkey has done for them. Turkey has been puppet to the AngloZionist Empire since the days of Ottoman Empire. They formed a coalition with France and Britain to take Crimean peninsular away from Russia.

That is one of the wars Russia lost but later took the Peninsular back from them. The same Crimean Peninsular that just re-united with Russia, about 150k Russians died back then defending the peninsular. The west will no tell you that. My point is, instead of letting Turkey to join EU, they refused and continue to use Turkey as puppet in other words NATO colonial state.

And this is why civilization is tolerating people. Religion is also a civilization. This is what you will find in Nigeria. Traditional religion, Christianity and Islam are welcomed in the Nigeria. You are even welcome to open a new religion as long as it's pointing to GOD or start a new doctrine. We see this with deeper-life.

That Civilization started from the South West of Nigeria where you have religious tolerance to maximum level and where everyone from every nook and cranny of the country comes together to do Business, have fun and live together peacefully. Now that is NIGERIAN CIVILIZATION, the one that runs counter to the western standard imposition of what a civilized world should be.

They (Anglozionist Empire) believe a civilization should be based on religious principles. In other words, political correctness and this correctness is often artificial for geo-political advantage.

Why Do they (AngloZionist Empire) Want Nigeria Broken into parts ?
1) Thesis: In their thesis, every country must be checked and any country proving to be too independent, taking independent foreign policy that runs counter their interest must be destroyed. Nigeria for long has broken this thesis several times and with the growing economic power in West Africa geo-political axis, Nigeria is an economic power to deal with. Credits to Soludo that built the banking system you see today. The banking system has grown out of Nigeria to even a country like the Gambia. That is an Economic power.

2) The second one on the list is African development bank: We all know a Nigerian is heading the Bank as we speak and this African Development Bank is a threat to IMF because IMF does not want competition, it prefers to bully the recent realities like BRICS, AIIB , SCO and even ADB.
All these banks are threat to their Rosthkid hegemony, threat to their Economic dominance. In other words, threat to dollar.

3) The Apartheid Regime:
The Anglozionist Empire in which America leads does not forget any thing that has happened in the past. History has it that Nigeria supported apartheid regime of South Africa that the current prime minister of UK once named a terrorist. It was not long after Murtala's speech about helping South Africa that he got killed.

4) Liberia: Nigeria has long been a threat to their hegemony. We liberated Liberia from U.S hegemony during the regime of U.S president Clinton. When they installed a rebel leader from Libya. and when the bargaining got terrible, Charles Tailor was ordered to leave the throne by the Emperor. They decided to support his enemies that fought against to bring Charles Tailor in. Then the Big brother of Africa Nigeria Stepped in to restore order in Liberia..Since then Nigeria has been respected by any Liberian but also a threat to U.S hegemonic in West Africa .

5) Pivot: Nigeria's pivot to China and their enemies is really unbearable. The Nigeria Britain created for its personal use or selfish interest is no longer serving the direct interest of the Brits but now serving the interest of Nigerians and these is why you have Billionaires in Nigeria. Most of which are Nigerians. These Billionaires Naturally were supposed to be British.
The Fulani ideology back then, they used on us then are now being re-used again but this time via boko haram Wahhabi Saudi Arabia terrorist organization as one of its Affiliates.

Why ?

Because the Nigeria they formed then is no longer serving their Interest. It has come out of the cage to now directly if not fully serving the interest of Nigerians. And this is why you have unprecedented Billionaires even many of which are Igbos making huge money as we speak in togetherness of Nigeria.

We are now in era of puppet government to them and any country that is taking independent foreign policy that runs counter to their foreign interest will follow this fate.

Will Nigeria Survive or follow the Syrian fate ?
Western "values" are the bane of our present day civilization. We must turn "eastward", towards China, Russia, Latin America, India. The future of the planet depends on this. The Anglo Zionist kleptocracy has defiled our planet. We need to reset our compasses to turn away from this scourge."

Foreign Affairs / Re: Breaking News: Russia Deploys S-400 In Syria (photos) by jnhmaxxwell: 4:13am On Nov 14, 2015
mazeltov:
I cancle'd it because you argu like a kid and that statement relays the deepness of your igonrance. Nobody wins a nuclear war- it's only destruction
If Russia can win nuclear war, they would have wiped out America ever since, if America can also win nuclear war, they would have wiped out Russia since
All of your comment on nairaland shows that you only read few Russian military bronchures and then you wiil run on social media and brandish your usual subterfuge to the innocent minds and to think that you've known every thing.
Again, anyone who has been involved with tactical planning knows how it's cute ti throw away comments like yours. Saying Russian IADs can neutralise fifth generation jets is just a plain tosh and demonstrates lack of understanding.
Firstly, ICBM response to F22 is strategic and the question is about Air Attack against Air Defense with S-400 and Pantsir series.
It's just so stupid to think that [b]fifth generation fighter jet such as American F-22 jet or Russian Tu-150 jet
cannot evade air defence.
These are jets Which can supercruise and also have JDAM [joint Direct Attack Munition]- surely F-22A will be able to attack S-400 at the range of atleast 44 to 60 km.
2. With the help of supercruise and JDAM - ER / SDB, F-22A will be able to attack S-300 / S-400 at the range of 100 to 150 km+ and also in possession of SMACM, F-22A will be able to attack S-300 / S-400 at the range of 322 to 463 km.
There are point defense deals like Tor and Buk available but they will have to be 100% accurate as even 1 missile/bomb gets through, the damage is done to that battery of S300/S400.
Yet these S-400 has never been tested against F22 but with their specs, one could easily say F22 can invade any integrated air defence.
Like I said, S-400 only posses threat to fourth generation jets.
It's also stupid to think that modern SAM IADs like S-400 are ineffective against aircraft, meanwhile, USAf aren't stupid, they have got HARM and thought 'that'' is good enough for the next 30 years.
This would be my last reply on this thread, and I know you will dispute this facts with your usual twaddle, but before you do that, I emplore you to do some technical diggings about those weapons thanks and good night


Your argument is baseless and illogical. What you don't know and I tell you today, S-400 can't been seen so easily, and it's now about who sees what and when first. Who first press the button. I hope you know what I mean. The first person to press the button is most likely to shoot enemy jets down. S-400 will never stand alone. It will stand with Shield and see example of the shield bellow. @mark 1.58

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t1Bw5Sea98

The kret technology blinds any space radar from seeing its installation. Now lets even assume that your 5th gen managed to fire anything. With the latest Kret technology. Never seen in anywhere in the world, what it fired will be downed in seconds once it reached the jamming space. And here is hacking any type of cruise missile and laser guided missiles. Just name it.

It will be shut down before it gets to 3km of where any S-400 or S-300 is. This is why they are so scared of these systems and another reason why nothing is flying in the SE of Ukraine as we speak. Everything is being shut down.

Let me even tell you another thing. Russia's reply to U.S re-newing atomic bombs in Germany and flying Atomic capable jets armed in the Baltics. It will harm its Isklander with Nukes to shoot them down. This has never been officially tested but when Russia says something like that.

This is what a senior military analyst says. Russia is capable of deploying multiple armaments in a cloud of a nuclear strike. What is that telling you. It will shoot all its Amos (Electronic warfare, Nukes, hypersonic missiles) in the atmosphere just to shoot down a missile strike within seconds.

You have s-400 radar that sees any in coming missile as far as 400km and and altitude of 90,000Fts. Anything bigger than this is invading the whole of Europe with Missile defense System.

Meanwhile get this point clear, if you detonate a Nuclear bomb say 100km to the Nuclear strike or in coming Nuk. It will blow it off. Here you are not detonating only Nuke. You have all the accessories provided by Kret systems.

Forget stories. Highest you will do big strike. And get a deadly retaliatory one back.

What's the point of a S-400 in Syria? While rebels/terrorists doesn't have air advantage?

Yes, it's to make all the rebel supporters understand that Russian means serious Business when it says, it's killing terrorists.. And so far has any Russian Pilot being shut down and killed ? over the 40 days of bombardment..

That is even another world record.. Compare that to your Western over rated Isreal that could not even take on Hezbollah for about 1 month invading.. Check the combat losses when Isreal invaded Hezbollah and now check Russia's combat losses. Then you will know who deserve to be super human or super heros.

And all the rebel supporters include. U.S.A, Saudi Arabia, Isreal, Turkey, all the NATO countries and Qatar. Yes.. U.S.A leading them.

This is the highest united West you could ever get.United west with their permanent and temporary puppets.

Let one of them try anything.. It's made the cost very hard to win against Assad now.. It's even almost impossible.

Ok.
They have tried economic war and Russia came out and now Oil does not determine the Ruble as we speak. Russian bouncing back.



Plus let me also add this.. Biafra will follow the same fate if it ever gets to Syrian case. This is the final answer to western orchestrated colour revolutions something they learned from the soviet union.

hahaha.. Here you go again. S-400 there is nothing in world that is compared to it. Your claim has never been tested so what makes you think like that.. Let raptor near its combat radius or installation and see how raptor will be shut down. Something you can't confirm and has never happened before.

Only a confirmation can back your theory. So far S-400 is best missile defense system on planet Earth that we know for now. Meanwhile S-500 is under development.


Did you hear, S-400 has shifted the power in the middle east for life. Ordinary S-300 they are scared, now S-400... game is over just face the fact in Syria and stop being blinded pro-anglozionist Empire.. It does not even help the face of our dear mother earth.

S-300 was designed to shoot down any future jets except that it has no counter measures but with pasntir and other kret technology. Forget it, any enemy threat will be shut down.. Now it's in Syria..

let all of them start testing their capabilities nah and see who wins...

Foreign Affairs / Kuwayres Air Base Liberated By Syrian Forces! by jnhmaxxwell: 4:09am On Nov 12, 2015
Finally!

Today the Syrian forces have liberated the Kuwayres airbase. This is the first operational-level victory for the Syrian armed forces! RT reports:

Elite Syrian army units have broken the siege of Kweires airbase, following weeks of intense fighting against Islamic State and other jihadist forces. The base, which opens up routes for offensives against Raqqa and Aleppo, had been encircled for nearly two years.
“We, the heroes of Kweires, are now celebrating this victory with our brothers,” a soldier told Syrian state television.
“We dedicate this victory to President Bashar Assad and we promise him we will continue fighting until all of Syria is liberated. We will not kneel to Daesh [Islamic State].”

The advancing Tiger Forces, the name for the commando units in the government army, who were completing a drive that began on October 16, reportedly liberated several hundred soldiers. Syrian government troops staged a counter-offensive in the north of the country, and are now pushing towards the rebel stronghold of Aleppo, where fighting has moved from street to street, and towards Raqqa, Islamic State’s (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) de facto capital in Syria. The Kweires base holds symbolic value for the Syrian people following devastating incursions by IS in August. The relatives of the soldiers inside the base had been staging public protests calling for the facility to be taken back. “Our forces are continuing our offensive, and this is leading to rifts among the Islamist factions,” General Ali Mayhoob told the media on Tuesday.
A key role in the operation was played by Russia’s air support.

Russia has made over 1,600 sorties since establishing an airbase in northern Syria in September at the personal request of Syrian president Bashar Assad, who has been battling the rebels and IS since 2011.
Al Jazeera reports that in the wake of several defeats, IS is now dispatching reinforcements from Raqqa towards Aleppo to battle against the Syrian advance.


International Military Review – Syria-Iraq Battlespace, Nov. 11, 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tOUg_KnOvY
The Syrian army continued to advance in Eastern Ghouta in the Damascus countryside on Tuesday. According to reports, the Syrian troops took full control over al-Mahalej area, to the South of Marj al-Sulatn, and the farms surrounding it. Earlier, field sources said the army made advances in the Marj al-Sultan Military Airport area, destroying several militants' vehicles, and killing at least 22 al-Nusra terrorists.

The Syrian army and Hezbollah forces launched massive operations in the Aleppo province on Tuesday. Reports say that the pro-government forces seized back full control over Maryudah in South of Aleppo countryside. Meanwhile, the joint operation allowed the Syrian forces to the recapture of Makhala village after fierce clashes against the terrorists.
Twenty-four civilians were killed and 50 others were injured in terrorist rocket attacks in Lattakia city on Tuesday. The casualties were caused by two rocket shells that landed in residential areas.

Yesterday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies reestablished a ground line of communication to the hitherto-besieged Kuweires Airbase east of Aleppo City. An advance party of the SAA established contact with about 3 hundred Syrian Army soldiers besieged by ISIS in the base. Clashes are reportedly ongoing as newly-arrived Syrian reinforcements attempt to expand the base’s defensive perimeter. The advance marks the culmination of one component of a multi-pronged offensive which began on October 15. The success of the operation relied heavily upon Russian air support.

The location of the Kuweires Airbase provides a potential staging ground for regime forces to conduct further operations that challenge ISIS’s presence in the eastern part of the Aleppo province. to contest ISIS-held terrain on the eastern outskirts of Aleppo City as well as critical ISIS supply lines connecting ar-Raqqa City to the Turkish border.
This success will definitely provide a powerful morale boost to the military forces loyal to the Syrian government. The operation constitutes a much-needed symbolic victory for the Syrian regime following major territorial losses in the first half of 2015.

In turn, the US experts point out that this event does little to change the strategic outlook at the Syrian battleground. The base remains vulnerable to an ISIS counterattacks if the pro-government forces can't seize additional terrain to provide their salient with defense-in-depth.

Iraqi military reinforcements gathered in the town of Khaldiyah on Tuesday for an anticipated assault against Ramadi. The unconfirmed reports argue that Iraqi military units were able to encircle Ramadi after multiple bloody battles with the ISIS militants in surrounding towns. Meanwhile, 65 ISIS members were slain in a military operation supported by army jets in Albu-Hayat area in Haditha district, 160 kilometers west of Ramadi.

Foreign Affairs / Russia’s Intervention In Syria – A Reality-based Evaluation by jnhmaxxwell: 1:22am On Nov 11, 2015
It has been over one month since the Russians launched their military and political operation in Syria and the time for hyperbole and flag waving has clearly passed. Gone are the “most anticipated showdown in recent history” along with rumors of MiG-31s, Russian paratroopers, “thousands” of military personnel, ballistic submarines and other such nonsense. And, contrary to what some wrote, none of what happened was “coordinated with the White House”. What I propose to do today is to evaluate what has really has happened and to look at the Russian options for the future. But first, a short restatement of what really took place.

A very daring operation by a small military force

I will never repeat this enough: the Russian military forces is a small one. Yes, they are flying an impressive amount of sorties every day (anywhere between 50 to 80). But let’s compare that to the Israeli air force effort during the war against Hezbollah in 2006 when the Israelis flew 400 (four hundred) sorties every day. Add to this the massive Israeli artillery barrage and even attacks from the Israeli Navy. Finally, let’s remember that Israel was not fighting all of Hezbollah at all, but only 2nd tier Hezbollah forces south of the Litani River totaling less than 1000 fighters (Hezbollah kept all the best trained forces north of the Litani River).

So let’s compare the two operations:

[img]http://4.bp..com/-BiNo_uL6Xpc/VkKJGy9edPI/AAAAAAAAnNQ/HEDgT06FKPQ/s1600/rus.JPG[/img]
Keep in mind that the AngloZionist propaganda always presents the Israeli military in general and the Israeli Air Force in particular as some kind of quasi-invincible super-force of uber-trained heroes who are the best of the best. One quick look at the chart above tells you who the real super heroes are in reality.

But my main point is not to ridicule the Israelis but to point out the huge difference in size between the two forces and to ask a simple question: if a huge Israeli force could not defeat about 1’000 2nd tier Hezbollah fighters, what could the small Russian force realistically achieve?

This, really, is THE key question. And, the answer, is quite obvious: the Russian force was never sent to Syria to defeat Daesh or even change the course of the civil war. The real goal of the Russian interventions were very limited in purely military terms.

First and foremost, the Russian tried to break the US and Turkish momentum for an overt military intervention. In that they undoubtedly succeeded. The second goal was to provide limited but nonetheless crucial support for the Syrian military (including moral support). Again, in that they also undoubtedly succeeded and on most sectors the Syrians are on the offensive, however slowly. Third, it now appears that one of the goals of the Russian intervention was to basically provide the Syrians with a modern air-defense capability and, in that, the Russians have also succeeded, even if partially. Why do I say partially? Because while the current air-defense capabilities of the Russian forces in Syria are adequate to defend the Syrian airspace against a limited attack, they are far from being sufficient to prevent the US from a determined large scale attack. All the Russian did is raise the costs of intervention for the USA, but they did not make it impossible. Interestingly, the Iranians have declared today that they have (finally!) finalized the sale of Russian S-300s to Iran. In doing so Russia not only helps protect Iran, but the Russian military also helps a friendly country secure an airspace which might be vital for Russian efforts in the future.

The real “action” however was never military but political: Russia literally forced the US to negotiate with Iran and, eventually, Syria by making it politically impossible not to. The mantra “Assad must go” is now gone and the AngloZionists have to at least give the appearance of being willing to negotiate. Again, this is undoubtedly a major victory for Russia.

Now let’s look at the (predictable) bad news

Of course, this is “bad news” only for those who from day 1 bought into the “game changing” narrative about the Russian military intervention. For those who, like myself, prefer facts to slogans, none of the following came as a big surprise. In fact, all this was predictable and predicted.

First, Daesh did rapidly adapt to the Russian air campaign. The first thing Daesh realized is that regardless of how intensive the Russian bombing campaign was, it would have a very limited impact on the actual line of contact, on the front line. As far as I know, the only location where the Russians did provide some limited close air support was in the Latakia province and along the main highway to the north. This is now slowly changing as the Russian are now gradually shifting from operational targets to tactical ones, i.e. instead of hitting command or training centers or ammo dumps, they are now gradually increasing their support for the Syrian military engaged in direct combat. Until last week or so, all the Syrians had to support them on the ground were 30 year old MiG-21s and MiG-23s. This is now reportedly changing in some key sectors of the front.

Second, instead of just hunkering down, Daesh went on the offensive in several sectors of the front, thereby forcing the Syrians to send troops to these sectors and that, in turn, prevented the Syrians from concentrating enough firepower and manpower along their chosen axes of attack to achieve an operational breakthrough. The lack of manpower (the 4 year long civil war took a terrible toll on the Syrians) is a crucial Syrian vulnerability which Daesh has very skillfully exploited.

A Time for Courage and Real Men (Syrian poster)[/center]


[Sidebar: for those confused by the above, let me explain this: the general rule of thumb – not an absolute rule for sure – in the military is that the defending side has a big advantage over the attacker and that therefore the attacking side needs roughly a 3:1 advantage over the defender. Again, this is a very rough approximation and in certain situations such as urban or mountain warfare this ratio might go much higher up, to 6:1 and even higher. Now, the attacked does not need to achieve this 3:1 ratio in the full length of the front, only in the primary and, possibly, secondary sector of attack, which is typically very narrow. Hence the importance of making deliberately detectable false attacks – to have the defender concentrate his forces in the wrong place. By constantly going on the offensive along various parts of the front Daesh is forcing the Syrians to send in reinforcements which they would otherwise use in the offensive. This is why the Syrians did not achieve any operational breakthrough, at least so far]

The (truly) unpredictable bad news: Flight 9268

More and more signs are pointing to the very high probability that Kogalymavia Flight 9268 was destroyed in mid-air by a bomb. Interestingly, even Egyptian experts which everybody suspected of wanting to cover this up are now saying that they are 90% sure that a bomb caused the crash. The Russians ain’t saying much, but all their actions are consistent with the same hypothesis. While we will have to wait for the official report to get the facts (yes, I trust this report simply because there are too many countries involved and the Russians have no reasons to lie) I personally have come to the conclusion that by now the destruction of Flight 9268 by a bomb is a reasonable working hypothesis. I believe that this bomb was placed inside the aircraft by one or several individuals either sympathetic to Daesh and the Muslim Brotherhood or simply for money. I am aware that there are already plenty of goofballs out there offering much more exotic explanations (from a fly-by-wire backdoor to an Israeli missile to an energy weapon) but, being a great believer in Occam’s razor, I will stick to the simplest explanation until I am provided with fact-based logical reasons to think otherwise.

As I have written in the past, I don’t believe that this tragedy will have a significant impact on the Russian operation in Syria or on Russian policies, if only because there is really nothing much the Russians can do.

In this case again, there is a lot of hyperbole around what the Russians might do if it is proven that Daesh or Daesh sympathizers placed this bomb on the aircraft. Furthermore, since Daesh is really a creation of the AngloZionist Empire, then the latter would have to be held accountable, at least under the Command Responsibility doctrine. The Washington Post has already decided to preempt any such suggestions by ridiculing any possible Russian or Egyptian statements that the CIA might be involved. And considering the “special relationship” the USA has the Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE or Qatar, any suggestions that these countries are involved would also put Russia on a collision course with CENTCOM. Personally, I think that it is perfectly fair and reasonable to place the responsibility for all the atrocities committed by al-Qaeda/ISIS/Daesh & Co on the AngloZionist Empire, including the wars in Bosnia, Chechnia and 9/11. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE, Qatar or Israel are all just parts of the “Empire of Kindness” created by the US deep state and while they might have disputes with each other they are basically all serving the same interests. And there is no doubt in my mind that Putin fully understands that. The problem is that Russia is too weak a country to be able to declare that or even to acquiesce to any such statements. Not only does the Kremlin want to avoid a direct war with the USA, but even an open-ended political and economic confrontation with the so-called “West” is something which Russia is trying hard to avoid due to her comparative weakness. I therefore don’t believe that Russia will take any direct actions against the countries sponsoring and controlling Daesh.

There is another interesting hypothesis made by some observers. According to them, the real purpose of the bombing of Flight 9268 would be to draw Russian into a ground operation against Daesh. Here again, if that was the goal behind this atrocity, I don’t believe that it will work. Just like Russia did everything in her power to avoid openly intervening militarily in the Donbass, Russia will do everything possible to avoid any ground operation in Syria (for a detailed discussion of the Russian reasons please see here and here). If 60% of Russians are opposed to an direct intervention in the Donbass, then there will be even much more opposition to any Russian ground operation in Syria. Finally, as I have written many times, the Russian military (as a whole) was never designed to operate at beyond 1000km from the Russian borders and Russia therefore simply lack that kind of power-projection capability.

Frustrating as this might be, the right thing do to for Russia is to do nothing or, more accurately, to do nothing different from what she has been doing so far.

Russia does have the capabilities to increase her military involvement in Syria and I have already mentioned these options in the past. They include using long-range aviation from Russia or, better, using an Iranian air base. Alternatively, Russia could decide to build a “Khmeimim 2″ airbase near Latakia and commit more aircraft. Maybe I am wrong here, but I don’t see that as a solution. In my opinion, there is a limited timeframe for the Syrian military to achieve an operational victory against Daesh, after that I see no other option left but an Iranian ground intervention (which, by itself, would be a very complex matter and which would trigger a massive anti-Iranian hysteria in the US-controlled part of our planet).

So all I am left with is the hope that the Russian General Staff’s modeling capabilities are as good as they are supposed to be and that the very limited but highly effective Russian intervention will be sufficient to go from having a quantitative effect to a qualitative one. I hope that the sum of small tactical victories will eventually bring Daesh to a breaking point significant enough to allow for a Syrian operational success. I will gladly admit that at the end of the day I trust Putin and the superb team of generals he has placed at the head of the Russian armed forces.

In conclusion I want to say that I am very proud of what the Russians are doing in Syria, both militarily and politically. They have shown an immense amount of courage and skills, at all levels of the game. But I also think that it is crucial for all of us, who are sympathetic to Russia and the anti-imperial Resistance worldwide, to stop presenting this intervention like some kind of “game changing” “done deal” in which the Russian Bear will crush all the terrorists and restore peace to Syria. Alas, we are still very very far from that. What the Russian have provided is an absolutely vital and very daring last minute temporary solution to a very dangerous situation about to get much worse. They did that knowing full well that they were at a huge political, geographic and military disadvantage and that their move was extremely risky. I would not say that Putin is risk averse, but he is certainly very cautious and for him to have authorized such an operation must have been very difficult. My guess is that what made him decide in favor of this intervention is the (correct) belief that the Russian forces in Syria are not only fighting for Syria, but that they are first and foremost fighting for Russia. Every Wahabi/Takfiri organization on the planet has already declared a jihad against Russia and Russia has been fighting these crazies ever since the USA and the Saudis literally federated them in Afghanistan (the “brilliant” plan of Brzezinski and, later, Reagan). The Russian people know and understand that, and Putin has repeated that often enough to have this message fully sink in. This is why the Russians will hold the course even if a major setback occurs and this is also why they will not have an events like the bombing of Flight 9268 by US-run puppet distract them from their real objective: help the Syrians, Iraqis and Iranians defeat Daesh.

I told him they won't because the Neocons of the U.S are the one running the Business elite and they want Nigeria broken into parts where they can rule one side or use one side against the order. But the plan they have for Nigeria is a very bad Plan.

They have been trying for too long and it failed.. The same Nigeria stopped U.S hegemony in Liberia. That was a big blow to the Clinton's Administration..before then, ever since we gained independent we had become existential threat to their rule or colonialism.

This is why they preferred a more broken 3rd world country where their puppets get the Aid to continue the rule system.

Can you imagine Obama threatening Zimbabwe president with more sanctions for signing a $3billion deal with Russia ? In this 2015 ?? They believe Africa is their personal gift.

Foreign Affairs / Week Four Of The Russian Intervention In Syria: Assessing The Vienna Declaration by jnhmaxxwell: 12:54pm On Nov 03, 2015
I would argue that, at least so far, Russia has achieved many important goal in her intervention in Syria. Most importantly, the Russian intervention in Syria forced the USA to agree to a conference in which all the regional actors, including Iran, would be invited. At the end of its proceedings the conference adopted a joint statement which is fully reposted here:

I believe that this statement represents a major diplomatic defeat for the USA and yet another Russian diplomatic victory. Here some points which have been agreed upon (with relevant section of the declaration indicated in brackets):

Iran will participate in the negotiations about the future of Syria (preamble)
Syria will not be allowed to break up (#1)
Syria will not be ruled by a religious regime (#1)
The Syrian military will not be disbanded (#2)
Daesh and other terrorists must be defeated (#6)
The Syrian people will get to chose their leader (#cool

Now let’s translate that into political terms and see what this implies.

The USA has failed to isolate Iran whose crucial role is now recognized by all
The USA will not be allowed to partition into a Wahabistan and an Alawistan
None of the factions supported by the US (all being religious) will be allowed to rule
The Syrian military (which is solidly pro-Assad) will not be disbanded or disarmed
All the factions supported by the US (all being Wahabi extremists) must be militarily defeated
Assad will be allowed to remain in power (since he is by far the most popular leader)


Now, I am not stupid or naive to believe for one second that the USA will truly abide by these terms. Quite to the contrary. All I am saying is that Russia has inflicted yet another massive diplomatic defeat on the USA similar to the one Lough Erne or to the Minsk-1 and Minsk-2 Agreements. In Lough Erne, for example, the USA had to accept the following statement: “We call on the Syrian authorities and opposition at the Geneva Conference jointly to commit to destroying and expelling from Syria all organisations and individuals affiliated to Al Qaeda, and any other non-state actors linked to terrorism.” In other words, Daesh-linked Wahabis were told to join forces with the Syrian military to defeat Daesh! Of course, we all know that this did not happen. But what is important here is that the US actions and policies are so indefensible that the USA has to condemn or, at least, contradict them, in any public forum.

Let me repeat this once more: what the US is doing on the ground, in reality, is in complete and total contradiction with the declaratory policy of the USA:
US actions/policies/goals
US official policy on Syria
Full military support for Daesh
Promotion of a Wahabi regime
Breakup of Syria
Destruction of the Syrian military
Removal of Assad at any cost
Sabotage of all Russian efforts
Regime change in Iran

US official policy on Syria
Categorical opposition to Daesh
Maintaining a unitary Syria
Collaboration with Russia
Syrian people get to elect Assad
Maintaining the Syria military
Promotion of a secular regime
Iran as a partner

While, at least so far, the USA has been successful in doing the exact opposite of what it has been declaring, this becomes extremely difficult once the Russian military is directly involved. This was best illustrated by the surreal moment when following US accusations that Russia was bombing the “wrong” guys the USA refused to give Russia a list of bad guys and a list of good guys.

This tactic, to force the USA to formally agree to something which they oppose is also what Putin used in the Minsk-2 Agreement where the Russians basically forced the USA and its puppet regime to accept a dialog with the Novorussians even though such a dialog is absolutely out of the question. This is what Russia is doing now: forcing the USA to negotiate with Assad and Iran.

Russia’s declared policies and actions in contrast, are as simple, straightforward and in full conformity with each other: defeating terrorists, support the legal Syrian government, uphold international law. In Russia’s case, there is no need to hide anything and, in fact, the Russians have been amazingly transparent about their operations.

For years now the USA has been dreaming of doing to Assad what was done to Hussein and Gaddafi and they most definitely have the military might to do so: what they are discovering, to their great distress, is that Russia is capable of defeating US plans by skillfully using a mix of intense diplomacy and limited military efforts. So far, the US have not found a way of coping with this situation.

On the military front the situation remain, at best, complex. The best reports about the combat situation that I have found so far are, yet again, on Colonel Cassad’s website. To make a long story short and in sparing you all the details battle by battle, it appears that the Syrian Army is making slow progress on many directions, but it has been unable to capitalize on the Russian airstrikes and these modest tactical successes have not produced any operational breakthroughs. In simple terms: the government forces are struggling very hard to achieve even modest progress.

I am, by the way, in no way blaming the Syrians for that. The frontlines are long, convoluted, the Wahabis are well dug in, the Russian air force contingent is very small and can only do so much. One Russian expert declared today that he believes that the Syrian military lost about 85’000 men since the war began. If that is true, it would explain, at least partially, the fact that the Syrians are over-stretched and are having a hard time concentrating enough forces in one location to achieve a breakthrough.

Still, it is quite possible that the combined efforts of the Russians and the Syrian will eventually yield an operational success and that the Daesh forces will suddenly collapse, at least on one section of the front. The problem with that is that both sides are in a race for time: the next round of negotiations is scheduled in two weeks already and, so far, neither side as much to show to come to the negotiating table in a position of strength. Apparently, the Americans are planning some kind of attack on Raqqa, and they want to use primarily Kurdish forces. If so, then this is a rather bizarre plan. After all, why would the Kurdish forces agree to such a dangerous and potentially costly (in terms of equipment and lives) operation far away from their own zones which they must protect on more or less all directions?! In comparison, the Russian plan of unblocking the Syrian military and helping it reconquer Aleppo and the key highway linking Damascus to Homs and Aleppo appears much more realistic, if full of potential difficulties. If the Syrians fail to achieve these goals in the next 2 weeks, then this will immensely complicate the upcoming negotiations and might forces Iran and Hezbollah to commit a much larger force to relieve the Syrian Army.

The next couple of weeks will be crucial.

I'm sure a human part of you would feel they are innocent or their husband and fathers crimes but another human part of you will tell you it serves them right because they feel the pain families of those killed in cold blood go through everyday.Someone has to pay for the sins of Russia against MH17,and Karma had its way.

What is debris when you have Black box that can easily tell you how it happened ? Don't reply him again. For the most part he may even be a Washington or Britain paid toilet troll or rather Biafra ideologist.

Stop wasting your time answering these people, they are 3rd class and it's very easy to spot a 3rd graduate or no Education or common sense at all.

Now, you said someone dropping bombs on the families of Terrorists ? haha how should anyone react to that ??

What about going back to the beginning of the conflict ? Why is Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and Israel Sponsoring terrorists in the first place ?? They started it.. With their colour revolution and this is the answer to it. You also see what happened in Egypt. Egyptians took it back from the western backed Brotherhood Puppets regime.. The same regime in Turkey.. Puppets, vassals, Protectorate states.. NATO is the new colonial master.

By the way, the Wahabi saudi Arabian Terrorist organization which has loads of franchise (Like mcDonald) and one of which is Boko haram has long been an established terrorist Organization that changes brand name like weather . Starting from the days of Chechnya War.. This terrorist organization has been on since the soviet days by the way.
Rumour or theorist has it that it was stingers(MANPAD) the American gave the Wahabis terrorist arm of saudi arabia that drove the soviets out of the middle east. That was a theory by the way but nothing has ever proved it..

Why is the same stingers not scaring Russian jets now ? Russia already fought and won war against the Wahhabi Saudi Arabia sect. Western backed terrorist organization Used as part of its 4th generation warfare. I am sure you have not heard of these things before..

According to the youtube channel that shared that made the vido

“KRET company approached us to make a short movie showing the capabilities of high-end electronic warfare system – Richag-AV. This helicopter escort air defence suppression system is designed to minimise the suppression threat by antiaircraft defence assets including land-to-air and air-to-air missiles. We’ve made Full-CG video with dramatic script of a rescue operation conducted by helicopter group. Mission is accomplished successfully due to effective performance of Richag-AV that eliminates the threat coming from terrorist rocket launcher.”

Is this the reason why those McCain backed rebels were not able to use McCain’s Stingers(MANPAD) to shoot Russian jets down and they decided to use condom bombs ? https://www.nairaland.com/2684227/nnamdi-biafra-got-isis-talent#39261431

Òmò, first things first.
We should know how many we are as Nigerians.
Then, with govts that provide proper laidout shelter, working health care, basic amenities like pipe borne water, good roads, unfailing security, usable education...
Then, we can venture into understanding various technologies. After understanding comes decision to use.

If Yaradua had succeeded, no one might be left to tell the stories in w/Africa.

You can imagine the politics/corruption that would have gone into that project. At that point, something must go wrong. Just use your imagination if something that dangerous happens,...

As a matter of fact, the only thing that can go wrong is a false flag. Russians can build highly advance reactor that can withstand even detonating a nuclear bomb 100km away from it. We saw that in its highly advance RT-2PM2 Topol-M (Russian: РТ-2ПМ2 «Тополь-М», NATO reporting name: SS-27 "Sickle B" or it's The later version, the R-36M that was produced under the GRAU designations 15A14 and 15A18 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-18 Satan.

So forget all that shit about one thing do one thing and something happen. A pivot to Russia or China will be a very smart move giving the fact that these Western and its eastern puppets have been covertly and overtly killing and destroying us for long..

We just need to be enlightened and stop hearing the story from one side of the equation.

The problem is not the size or carbon emissions it is rather how the waste would be managed effectively without causing harm to the people. Safety of the reactor itself needs to be ensured. In this times of insurgency it looks more gloomy having such located here.

You got a point here.. "insurgency".. But still balls back to the same AngloZionist Empire. Via Wahhabi Saudi Arabia terrorist Organization/franchise invading the country.


The AngloZionist Empire ==> That is The Anglo America + Anglo Saxons + The Zionist Isreal + all their permanent puppets(all the countries in EU,Saudi Arabia, Japan, Turkey, Qarta) and temporary puppets.. Radio Biafra or the Biafran ideology, Boko Haram (Saudi Arabia Puppet Armed and trained terrorist) can be refereed here to as temporary puppet.

It's history repeating itself. Just like the Berlin conference. They are playing the same old game of divide rule and conquer strategy.
As for the reactor or whatever, it's no bid deal one beat but the big deal is the AngloZionist Empire and will only take a very secured country that is free and can take decision without existential threat being launched against its National interest.

Now you see how it's related.

Politics / Nnamdi Biafra Got This ISIS Talent Already In Place To Blow Off Naija Planes ? by jnhmaxxwell: 12:39am On Oct 23, 2015
Video: ISIS got talent, makes Condom bombs to blow off Russian Airstrikes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRrnYUqZfFQ
Left with little recourse in the face of relentless Russian airstrikes, the self-proclaimed Islamic State terrorist group has apparently resorted to a fairly unique defensive strategy. According a video that surfaced online on Wednesday, the group has begun launching homemade condom bombs, hoping they’ll somehow veer into a Russian bomber.

While Sputnik cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video, it appears to show IS militants creating aerial mines out of condoms, which are then released into the skies over Idlib.

The entire arts-and-crafts project is shown, scored to look like some kind of bizarre extremist music video.

In a desperate move, the contraceptive contraptions are seemingly meant to drift into Russian bombers as they fly overhead. A clever – if fairly ineffective – strategy.

Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time IS has found creative uses for condoms. An e-book allegedly spread through IS twitter accounts back in May. Labeled “How to Survive in the West,” the book made a number of recommendations for what to include in any jihadist survival kit.

Among those items: flexible straws, fishing hooks, wire, surgical blades, and – surprise – condoms. According to Express, the book suggested that latex contraceptives could be used as water-storage containers in a pinch.

Even if this video turns out to be a hoax, it’s still pretty funny. Why IS prefers condoms to simple, run-of-the-mill balloons, is unclear. But if they think a bunch of exploding rubbers are going to scare off the military, they’ve clearly never been to Fleet Week.

Now my question is, has Nnamdi clamoring for Biafra got this type of talent in place ? As it seems the most stupidest thing ever thought of by human beings. Guess this must be McCains idea.

You already know what the western media will report.

Biafran Free ARMY
Boko Haram Free Army
The Bokoistan forces

While Naija and other Normal medias would simply report it as..

Biafran terrorists
Biafran terrorist organization
Biafran terrorist bunch
Baifran terrorist sect
Biafran Nnamdi most wanted Nigerian terrorist

Yujin:

Ok. If you have not realized it I'll lay it bare to you. Which ethnic group has invested more in Nigeria? Ndigbo. With investments in billions within all the geopolitical regions of Nigeria, the Igbos proved to be totally committed to Nigeria with them having the highest number of people who can speak other languages apart from the mother tongue. What else do you demand of us to prove to you that we are committed to Nigeria? To become your slaves? Don't you know it took great courage for Ndigbo to go back to regions where they were formally hunted and killed like rodents? I've told you that solve the marginalization and oppression problem and see the quest for secession fizzle away. A group of IPOB youths were on a peaceful protest but your security forces opened fire on them. Fulani herdsmen attack farmers in their ancestral lands and the cases were reported to the same security officials but they respond with apathy. How do we reconcile that? The time is virtually over for such patience you are expecting. All our people who have been murdered during the numerous religious and political crises in the north would be accounted for. You have made thousands orphans and forced them to crimes. Many today will never blink I eye to become suicide bombers I can reliably tell you. Nigeria is in for a big thing I tell you. Arresting Nnamdi Kanu is nothing and cannot stop our mission. He can be replaced at anytime with more daring and charismatic individuals. Its just a matter of time. The evil Nigeria created will hunt her and bring her to her knees. Do you know what influence what I saw in the north had on me? I saw those people who ate the flesh of their oppressors with my own eyes. Do you think beef was scarce that's why they resorted to doing what they did? They saw horror and are pained. All you need to do is to go among the beRoms and call the hausa/fulanis as good people and come back to tell us their response. You will see horror. Nigeria can never escape it. I pity those who are giving those oppressors the moral backing to do what they are doing. Its just a matter of time.

lol...
Nigeria has come to stay. If you don't like Nigeria, please go back to your village. Don't go to Lagos, Abuja, PH or Kano. Ok.. Let those who want Nigeria be. You are not even speaking on behalf o 000.1% of Igbo. You are just a normal cyber noise maker. Cyber rant !

Wike already replied, said " We'll crush Biafra.

If you don't want Nigeria,go back to your village and stay and allow those of us who want Nigeria to stay in peace. Make sure you leave Lagos,Abuja,PH etc straight back home. Stupidity is staying outside Igboland and be campaigning for Biafra and break up. Relocate and enjoy your eldorado in the south east and allow those who want to remain Nigerians to be in peace with the rest.

Very soon govt will clamp down on politicians using Biafra to pull down the govt of Buhari. Riding on ethnic fault lines and sentiments to threaten and destablize with an intention to topple the govt of PMB is not only unacceptable but treasonable!

Why did the agitation start immediately PDP lost?
Can PDP come clean?

How come the South South has moved on it is the south east that is being used?

Gen Sisi defeated the Muslim brotherhood and restored order in Egypt.MB is a grassroot movement with massive follwership all over Egypt.

There is no internal uprising that cannot be crushed.

Look at Libya and Iraq,they were held by strongmen who ensured peace until the US came.
PMB must very firm on issues of insurrection.

Democracy is not lawlessness! You cannot march on the streets of a serious country destroying their national flag in public.

Don't we have a govt?

No govt allows miscreants to threaten her national security.

A fraudstar operating a pirate radio will be allowed to threaten national security?

Only in Nigeria!

The DSS, DIA & NIA are expected to undertake not only overt operations BUT COVERT operations!

State Security service goes beyond wearing suits with dark glasses or inviting people for a chat.
