Going nuclear?

Here is the paradox: in purely military terms, using nukes on Iran will serve no pragmatic purpose. Nuclear weapons can be used in one of two ways: against military assets (“counterforce”) or against civilians (“countervalue”). The point is that by the time the Neocons and their Israeli patrons come to the point of considering using tactical nuclear forces against the Iranians, there won’t be a good target to hit. Iranian forces will be dispersed and mostly in contact with allied (or even US forces) and nuking an Iranian battalion or even a division won’t fundamentally alter the military equation. As for nuking Iranian cities just out of savagery, this will only serve one purpose: to truly get Israel wiped off the map of the Middle-East. I would not put it past the Neocons and their Israeli bosses to try to use a tactical nuclear weapon to destroy some Iranian civilian nuclear facility or some underground bunker with the very mistaken hope that such a show of force and determination will force the Iranians to submit to the AngloZionist Empire. In reality, this will only infuriate the Iranians and strengthen their resolve.

As for the currently “macronesque” Europeans, they will, of course, first show “solidarity” on the basis of “highly likely”, especially Poland, the Ukies and the Baltic statelets, but if nuclear weapons start going off in the Middle-East, then the European public opinion will explode, especially in Mediterranean countries, and this might just trigger yet another major crisis. Israel wouldn’t give a damn (or, as always, blame it all on some totally mysterious resurgence of anti-Semitism), but the USA most definitely does not want the Anglo grip on the continent compromised by such events.

Maybe a Korean scenario?

Is there a chance that all the huffing and puffing will result in some kind of peaceful resolution as what seems to be in the works in Korea? Alas, probably not.

A few months ago it sure looked like the USA might do something irreparably stupid in Korea (see here and here) but then something most unexpected happened: the South Koreans, fully realizing the inanity of Trump’s reckless threats, took the situation in their own hands and began making overtures to the North. Plus all the rest of the regional neighbors emphatically and clearly told Trump & Co. that the consequences of a US attack on the DPRK would be apocalyptic for the entire region. Alas, there are two fundamental differences between the Korean Peninsula and the Middle-East:

On the Korean Peninsula, the local US ally (the ROK) does not want war. In the Middle-East it is the local US ally (Israel) which pushes the hardest for a war.
In Far-East Asia all the regional neighbors were and are categorically opposed to war. In the Middle-East most regional neighbors are sold out to the Saudis who also want the US to attack Iran.
So while the risks and consequences of a conflagration are similar between the two regions, the local geopolitical dynamics are completely different?

What about Russia in all this?

Russia will never *choose* to go to war with the USA. But Russia also understands that Iran’s security and safety is absolutely crucial to her own security, especially along her southern borders. Right now there is a fragile equilibrium of sorts between the (also very powerful) Zionist lobby in Russia and the national/patriotic elements. In truth, the recent Israeli attacks in Syria have given more power to the anti-Zionist elements in Russia, hence all the talk about (finally!) delivering the S-300s to Syria. Well, we will see if/when that happens. My best guesstimate is that it might already have happened and that this is simply kept quiet to restrain both the Americans and the Israelis who have no way of knowing what equipment the Russians have already delivered, where it is located or, for that matter, who (Russians or Syrians) actually operate it. This kind of ambiguity is useful to placate the pro-Zionist forces in Russia and to complicate AngloZionist planning. But maybe this is my wishful thinking, and maybe the Russians have not delivered the S-300s yet or, if they have, maybe these are the (not very useful) S-300P early models (as opposed to the S-300PMU-2 which would present a huge risk to the Israelis).

The relationship between Russia and Israel is a very complex one (see here http://www.unz.com/tsaker/the-neocons-are-pushing-the-usa-and-the-rest-of-the-world-towards-a-dangerous-crisis/  and here http://www.unz.com/tsaker/debunking-the-flagwaving-myths-about-an-attack-on-north-korea/), but if Iran is attacked I fully expect the Russians, especially the military, to back Iran and provide military assistance short of overtly engaging US/Israeli/NATO/CENTCOM forces. If the Russians are directly attacked in Syria (and in the context of a wider war, they very well might be), then Russia will counter-attack regardless of who the attacker is, the USA or Israel or anybody else: the Zionist lobby in Russia does not have the power to impose a “Liberty-like event” on the Russian public opinion).

Conclusion: ...

Satan is an European language and it's best interpreted by the same European people.

Conceptually, in Yoruba culture, ESU and Satan remains different in meaning and does not mean the same. While Satan relates to wickedness of people, Yoruba ESU provide reliefs to people!

The knowledge acquired on Yoruba ESU deity revealed that Esu do provides, protects, guides and offer blessings to Yoruba people....that's why there were many ancestral Yoruba names like ESUGBURE, ESUGBOHUN, ESUDARE, ESUNIGBAGBE, ESUYEMI, ESUFARE.....etc

Esu belonged to the categories of our ancestral deities that deserves our honours..... Esu concept remained a very unique spirituality in our Yoruba race.

Therefore, the Europeans needs to explain further about the concept of their Satan; because Satan remain an English word and with all European language analysis... Satan relates to Satanic action !

Please argued without biased and provide facts as to how ESU hurt you or your family other than Satanic concept.......

So what the Israelis really want to do is:

inflict a maximum amount of economic damage upon Iran
punish the Iranian population for daring to support the “wrong” leaders
overthrow the Islamic Republic (do to it what they did to Serbia)
make an example to dissuade any other country who dares to follow in Iran’s footsteps
prove the omnipotence of the AngloZionist Empire’s
To reach this objective, there is no need to invade Iran: a sustained cruise missile and bombing campaign will do the job (again, like in Serbia). Finally, we just have to assume that the Zionists are evil, arrogant and crazy enough to use nuclear weapons on some Iranian facilities (which they will, of course, designate as “secret military nuclear research” installations).

The Israelis hope that by making the USA hit Iran really hard, they will weaken the country enough to also weaken Hezbollah and the other allies of Iran in the region sufficiently and break the so-called “Shia crescent”.

In their own way, the Israelis are not wrong when they say that Iran is an existential threat to Israel. They are just lying about the nature of this threat and why it is dangerous for them.

Consider this:

IF the Islamic Republic is allowed to develop and prosper and IF the Islamic Republic refuses to be terrified by the IDF’s undisputed ability to massacre civilians and destroy public infrastructure, then the Islamic Republic will become an attractive alternative to the kind of repugnant Islam embodied by the House of Saud which, in turn, is the prime sponsor of all the collaborator regimes in the Middle-East from the Hariri types in Lebanon to the Palestinian Authority itself. The Israelis like their Arabs fat and corrupt to the bone, not principled and courageous. That is why Iran must, absolutely must, be hit: because Iran by its very existence threatens the linchpin upon which the survival of the Zionist entity depends: the total corruption of the Arab and Muslim leaders worldwide.

Risks with Israel’s plan “B”

Think of 2006. The Israelis had total air supremacy over Lebanon – the skies were simply uncontested. The Israelis also controlled the seas (at least until Hezbollah almost sank their Sa’ar 5-class corvette https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INS_Hanit). The Israelis pounded Lebanon with everything they had, from bombs to artillery strikes, to missiles. They also engaged their very best forces, including their putatively ‘”invincible” “Golani Brigade”. And that for 33 days. And they achieved exactly *nothing*. They could not even control the town of Bint Jbeil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bint_Jbeil right across the Israeli border. And now comes the best part: Hezbollah kept its most capable forces north of the Litany river so the small Hezbollah force (no more than 1000 man) was composed of local militias supported by a much smaller number of professional cadre. That a 30:1 advantage in manpower for the Israelis. But the “invincible Tsahal” got it’s collective butt kicked like few have ever been kicked in history. This is why, in the Arab world, this war is since known as the “Divine Victory”.

As for Hezbollah, it continued to rain down rockets on Israel and destroy indestructible Merkava tanks right up to the last day.

There are various reports discussing the reasons for the abject failure of the IDF (see here or here), but the simple reality is this: to win a war you need capable boots on the ground, especially against an adversary who has learned how to operate without air-cover or superior firepower. Should Israel manipulate the USA into attacking Iran, the exact same thing will happen: CENTCOM will establish air superiority and have an overwhelming firepower advantage over the Iranians, but other than destroying a lot of infrastructure and murdering scores of civilians, this will achieve absolutely nothing. Furthermore, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is no Milosevic, he will not simply surrender in the hope that Uncle Sam will allow him to stay in power. The Iranians will fight, and fight, and continue to fight for weeks, and months and then possibly years. And, unlike the “Axis of Kindness” forces, the Iranians do have credible and capable “boots on the ground”, and not only in Iran, but also in Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan. And they have the missiles to reach a very large number of US military facilities across the region. And they can also not only shut down the Strait of Hormuz (which the USN would eventually be able to re-open, but only at a cost of a huge military operation on the Iranian coast), they can also strike at Saudi Arabia proper and, of course, at Israel. In fact, the Iranian have both the manpower and know-how to declare “open season” on any and all US forces in the Middle-East, and there are plenty of them, mostly very poorly defended (that imperial sense of impunity “they would not dare”).

The Iran-Iraq war lasted for eight years (1980-1988). It cost the Iranians hundreds of thousands of lives (if not more). The Iraqis had the full support of the USA, the Soviet Union, France and pretty much everybody else. As for the Iranian military, it had just suffered from a traumatic revolution. The official history (meaning Wikipedia) calls the outcome a “stalemate”. Considering the odds and the circumstances, I call it a magnificent Iranian victory and a total defeat for those who wanted to overthrow the Islamic Republic (something which decades of harsh sanctions also failed to achieve, by the way).

Is there any reason at all to believe that this time around, when Iran has had almost 40 years to prepare for a full-scale AngloZionist attack the Iranians will fight less fiercely or less competently? We could also look at the actual record of the US armed forces (see Paul Craig Roberts’ superb summary here) and ask: do you think that the USA, lead by the likes of Trump, Bolton or Nikki Haley will have the staying power to fight the Iranians to exhaustion (since a land invasion of Iran is out of the question)? Or this: what will happen to the world economy if the entire Middle-East blows up into a major regional war?

Now comes the scary part: both the Israelis and the Neocons always, always, double-down. The notion of cutting their losses and stopping what is a self-evidently mistaken policy is simply beyond them. Their arrogance simply cannot survive even the appearance of having made a mistake (remember how both Dubya and Olmert declared that they had won against Hezbollah in 2006?). As soon as Trump and Netanyahu realize that they did something really fantastically stupid and as soon as they run out of their usual options (missile and airstrikes first, then terrorizing the civilian population) they will have a stark and simple choice: admit defeat or use nukes.

Which one do you think they will choose?

I can only agree with this evaluation. As does [url="https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Report-US-officials-say-Israel-preparing-for-war-with-Iran-in-Syria-553249"]The Jerusalem Post[/url], NBC News, and many others. Regardless of how crazy this notion might sound to rational people (see below), there are all the signs that the Israelis are now demanding that the USA start a war against Iran, either by choice or more likely, to “stand by our Israeli allies and friends” after they attack Iran first.

Israel is truly a unique and amazing country: not only does it openly and brazenly completely ignore international law, not only is it the last overtly racist country on the planet, not only has it been perpetuating a slow-motion genocide against the Palestinians for decades, it also constantly uses its considerable propaganda resources to advocate for war. And in order to achieve these goals, it does not mind allying itself with a regime almost as despicable and evil as the Zionist one – I am talking about the Wahabi nutcases in the KSA. And all that under the high patronage of the United States. Some “Axis of Kindness” indeed!

What is their plan? Actually, it is fairly straightforward.

The Israeli plan “A” (failed)

Initially, the plan was to overthrow all the secular (Baathist) regimes in power and replace them by religious nutcases. That would not only weaken the countries infected by that spiritual rot, it would set them backwards for many decades, some of them would break up into smaller entities, Arabs and Muslims would kill each other in large numbers while the Israelis would proudly claim that they are a “western country” and the “only democracy in the Middle-East”. Even better, when the Daesh/ISIS/al-Qaeda/etc types commit atrocities on an industrial scale (and always on camera, professionally filmed, by the way), the slow-motion genocide of Palestinians would really be completely forgotten. If anything, Israeli would declare itself threatened by “Islamic extremism” and, well, extend a couple of “security zones” beyond its borders (legal or otherwise), and do regular bombing runs “because Arabs only understand force” (which would get the Israelis a standing ovation from the “Christian” Zionist rednecks in the USA who love the killing of any Aye-rabs and other “sand niggers”). At the end of all this, the Zionist wet dream: unleashing the Daesh forces against Hezbollah (which they fear and hate since the humiliating defeat the IDF suffered in 2006).

Now I will readily agree that this is a stupid plan. But contrary to the propaganda-induced myth, the Israelis are really not very bright. Pushy, arrogant, nasty, driven – yes. But smart? Not really. How could they not realize that overthrowing Saddam Hussein would result in Iran becoming the main player in Iraq? This is a testimony of how the Israelis always go for “quick-fix” short-term “solutions”, probably blinded by their arrogance and sense of racial superiority. Or how about their invasion of Lebanon in 2006? What in the world did they think they would achieve there? And now these folks are taking on not Hezbollah, but Iran. Hassan Nasrallah is absolutely correct, that is a truly stupid decision. But, of course, the Israelis now have a “plan B”:

The Israeli plan “B”

Step one, use your propaganda machine and infiltrated agents to re-start the myth about an Iranian military nuclear program. And never mind that the so-called “The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” was agreed upon by all five of the UNSC Permanent Members, and Germany (P5+1) and even the European Union! And never mind that this plan places restrictions on Iran which no other country has ever had to ever face, especially considering that since 1970 Iran has been a member in good standing with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) while Israel, of course, is not. But the Zionists and their Neocon groupies are, of course, quite exceptional people, so they are constrained by neither facts nor logic. If Trump says that the JCPOA is a terrible deal, then this is so. Hey, we are living in the “post-Skripal” and “post-Douma” era – if some Anglo (or Jewish) leaders say “highly likely” then it behooves everybody to show instant “solidarity” lest they are accused of “anti-Semitism” or “fringe conspiracy theories” (you know the drill). So step one is the re-ignition ex nihilo of the Iranian military nuclear program canard.

Step two is to declare that Israel is “existentially threatened” and therefore has the right to “defend itself”. But there is a problem here: the IDF simply does not have the military means to defeat the Iranians. They can strike them, hit a couple of targets, yes, but then when the Iranians (and Hezbollah) unleash a rain of missiles on Israel (and probably the KSA) the Israelis will not have the means to respond. They know that, but they also know that the Iranian counter-attack will give them the perfect pretext to scream “oy vey!! oy, gevalt!!” and let the dumb Americans fight the Iranians.

You might object that the USA does not have a mutual defense treaty with Israel. You are wrong. It does, it is called AIPAC. Besides, last year the USA established a permanent US military base in Israel, making it a “tripwire”: just claim that “the Ayatollahs” tried to attack the US base with “chemical weapons” and, bingo, you now have a pretext to use all your military forces in retaliation, including, by the way, your tactical nuclear forces to “disarm” the “genocidal Iranians who want to wipe Israel off the map” or some variation of this nonsense.

You might wonder what the point of all that would be if Iran does, as I say, not have any military nuclear program?

My answer would be simple: do you really think the Syrians have been using chemical weapons?!

Of course not!

All this nonsense about Saddam’s WMD, the Iranian nuclear program, the Syrian chemical weapons or, for that matter, Gaddafi’s “ Viagra armed raping soldiers” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/29/diplomat-gaddafi-troops-viagra-mass-rape , and before that the “Racak massacre” in Kosovo or the various “Markale market” atrocities in Sarajevo for that matter: these were just pretexts for aggression, nothing more.

In Iran’s case, what the Israelis fear is not that they will be “ wiped off the map” https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-wiped-off-the-map-the-rumor-of-the-century-fabricated-by-the-us-media-to-justify-an-all-out-war-on-iran/21188/ (that is a mistranslation of words originally spoken by Ayatollah Khomenei) by Iranian nukes; what really freaks them out is to have a large, successful Muslim regional power like Iran openly daring to denounce Israel as an illegitimate, racist state. The Iranians are also openly denouncing the US imperialism and they are even denouncing the Wahabi dictatorship of the House of Saud. That is Iran’s real “sin”: to dare defy openly the AngloZionist Empire and be so successful at it!

[ [url="http://www.unz.com/tsaker/the-warmakers/"]This analysis was written for the Unz Review.[/url] ]



Between the US strikes on Syria in April and the recent developments on the Korean Peninsula, we are in somewhat of a lull in the Empire’s search for a new war to start. The always helpful Israelis, in the person of the ineffable Bibi Netanyahu, are now beating the drums for, well, if not a war, then at least some kind of false flag or pretext to make the USA strike at Iran. And then there is the always bleeding Donbass (which I won’t address in today’s analysis). So let’s see where we stand and try to guesstimate where we might be heading. To be honest, trying to guess what ignorant warmongering psychopaths might do next is by definition a futile exercise, but since there are some not negligible signs that there are at least a few rational people still left in the US White House and/or Pentagon (as shown by the mostly “pretend strikes” on Syria last month), we can assume (hope) that some residual degree of sanity is still present. At the very least Americans in uniform have to ask themselves a very basic and yet fundamental question:

Do I want to die for Israel? Do I want to lose my job for Israel? How about my pension? Maybe just my stock options? Is it worth risking a major regional war for such a “wonderful” state?

A lot depends on whether the US military leaders (and people!) will have the courage to ask themselves this question and, if they do, what their reply will be.

But, first, let’s begin with the good news:

The DPRK and ROK are in direct talks with each other.

This is indeed a truly great development for at least two reasons. First, of course, the main and objective one: anything which lowers the risks of war on the Korean Peninsula is good. But there is a second reason which we should not discount: Trump can now take all the credit for this and claim that his (empty) threats are what brought the North Koreans to the negotiating table. I say – let him. In fact, I hope that they organize a parade for Trump somewhere in the USA, with confetti and millions of flags. Like for an astronaut. Let him feel triumphant, vindicated and very, very manly. MAGA, you know?!

Yeah, that will be sickening to the thinking (not to mention counter-factual), but if a little bit of intellectual nausea is the price to pay for peace, I say let’s do it. If Trump, Bolton, Haley and the rest of them can feel that they “kicked ass” and that their “invincible military” is what brought “Rocket Man” to “give up his nukes” (he never said any such thing, but never mind that) then I sincerely wish them a joyful and highly ego-pleasing celebration. Anything to stop them from looking for another war to start, at least for a now.

Now the bad news.

The Israelis are at it again

Amazing, isn’t it? The Israelis have been whining about “imminent” Iranian nukes for years, and they are still at it. Not only that, but these guys have the nerve to say “Iran lied”. Seriously, even by the already unique Israeli standards, that is chutzpah elevated to a truly stratospheric level. If it were just Bibi Netanyahu, then this would be comical. But the problem is that Israel has now fully subjugated all the branches of the US government to its agents (the Neocons) and that they now run everything: from the two branches of the Uniparty to Congress, to the media and, now that Trump has abjectly caved in to all their demands, they also run the White House. They apparently also run the CIA, but there still might be some resistance to their lunacy in the Pentagon. The USA is now quite literally run by a Zionist Occupation Government, no doubt about it whatsoever.

So what are these guys really up to? Listen to the one man who knows them best, and whose every single word you can take to the bank, Hezbollah General Secretary Nasrallah (ever wondered why Hezbollah, which has not committed anything even remotely looking like a terrorist attack since the 1980s is called the “[url="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jan/23/hezbollah-retains-a-team-of-terrorists-title-richl/"]A-Team of terrorists[/url]”? Just saying…):

The first event is the Israeli blatant and manifest aggression against the T-4 base or airport on the outskirts of Homs, that targeted Iranian forces from the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution of Iran who were present there, hitting them with a large number of missiles, causing 7 martyrs among its officers and soldiers and wounding others. This was a new, significant and important event. Maybe some people do not pay attention to its importance and magnitude. In this operation, Israel has deliberately killed (Iranian soldiers). This is an unprecedented event. In the past, Israel has struck us [Hezbollah] for example in Quneitra, and it turned out that coincidentally Guardians [of the Islamic Revolution] officers were with us. Israel declared hastily that they did not know it, and thought that all (targeted soldiers) were Hezbollah’s. This is an event that has no precedent since 7 years, it is unprecedented since 7 years, that Israel openly targets the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution in Syria, killing deliberately, in an operation that caused a number of martyrs and wounded (…) I want to tell the Israelis that they must know – I wrote that statement accurately and I read it to them – they must know that they have committed a historic mistake. This is not a simple blunder. They committed an act of great stupidity, and by this aggression, they entered in a direct confrontation with Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran. And Iran, O Zionists, is not a small country, it is not a weak country, and it is not a cowardly country. And you know it very well. As a comment on this incident, I stress that it constitutes a turning point in the situation of the region. What follows will be very different from what preceded it. This is an incident that cannot be considered lightly, contrary to what happens with many incidents here. It is a turning point, a historic turning point. And when the Israelis committed this stupid act, they had some assessment (of the situation), but I tell them that their evaluation is false. And even in the future, since you have opened a new path in the confrontation, (you should ensure) not to be wrong in your evaluations. In this new path you opened and initiated, don’t be wrong in your assessment, when you are face to face, and directly (in conflict) with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

bigl:


Exactly my thought. I don't believe this pictures being shown jare.

Russian will through with any propaganda to make their defense system look 100% effective when they are not.

Lets wait for sat feeds/videos

It's not today Russia has been shooting down missiles off the sky. It even shut down its own missile off the sky.. During Obama, Donbass/Russia shot down Torka Y balistic missile the puppet in Kiev fired to the donbass. This is what even made Obama pause and re-calculated his moves in Syria.

Two of such missiles were fired by the puppet in kiev. The first one hit the target and this prompted the Donbass to arm themselves further and the second one was shut down by same Russian machine..

See first video of the large crater made by impact of the Tochka-U ballistic missile (Nuclear capable) the puppet in kiev fired into a populated area.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H87Q_4Z_M4g

Now see the second one that was intercepted..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWltZt2fCq4

The the large crater it formed above. It's not today Russian is shooting down illegal objects from the sky. Russia has been doing that since 1960. Russian machine rocks anyday. Dont worry Russia will soon supply S-300 to Syria and lets see how far.

Again the Anglozionsit empire stand no chance.... Over Russian tech.

bigl:


So, by simply showing shrapnels of tomahawk cruise missiles and labelling it, that's your proof, abi? I'm not surprised anyway. You're brainwashed by russian propaganda.

This is the reason I really don't comment on NL cause I don't have time for argument.

Believe ruskies at your own risk.

Shut up joo.. See them.. They were shouting proof proof proof proof proof proof.. Which other proof do you need asside the wreckages of the shot down missiles...

All these wannabe anglozoo fanboiz self. Even your wardlord anglozionist empire itself has not denied the super proof above.

This crook is saying Brainwash.. At first there were live videos showing the missile going poof on air. Crooks like you were asking for proofs.. Now see the proof by any military standard... 71 missiles were defeated. Many of it were shot down. There were videos showing it going poof on air, intercepted and now wreckages ok.

Even if the bomb exomploded on target you will still see Proofs of the kind of bomb used but not in the unit above.. it will be smaller. Crooks saying brainwash., Who is your mate here. Abeg get away with your Propaganda up and down, fake news and lies.

You have seen proof above. Big proof.. Massive undeniable one. Big one.
Lol Crook is saying Brainwash.. Which brainwash is in this proof again??


Without even showing the wreckages, the proof is even in what the drunken general said.. How can you use 107 missiles to destroy 3 targets.. Kilode ? What sort of rubbish lie is that.. And the 3rd target is even in shape full shape, like nothing happened..

Then comes how the liars will share 107 into 3 targets.. 32 in one.. 32 in one.. RUbbish lies. Have you seen 450Kg explosion before ?. Without even waiting for the shut down wreckages, the proof is in what the general revealed from the so called satalite images.

Common sense here. Now super proof is here again. showing unexploded missiles and intercepted ones. Then this one says brainwash and the other time said Decong Decoys ? Get away from the keybaord. Again the anglozionist empire stand no chance. Continue living in lies and denial.

[s]

bigl:
And somefin tells me not all missiles fire were meant to explode.

Some were decoys to awaken the SAM defense.

Infact, a large no of such would be fired to confuse the SAM while the few missiles that would do the job will be sent just amongst those.

So, russia/syria could be right: they shot down the decoys while the few bombs did their job.

But u can be sure, US/other coalitions would never tell you the technicalities involved.

They were adequately prepared for the russian s300, s400, s500, s600 and even s1000 SAM system which would be defeated by flooding the skies with decoys. Decoys that are cheap to manufacture.

Trump was somehow right about the missiles coming in "smart".

Do you have an idea how much 1tomahawk cruise missile costs US?

And they would waste such amount on just 3 buildings? Think again.

They've done this trick before and would do it again.

Watch raytheon documentaries on how some of their missiles are build to work to defeat SAM defense systems.

Lets wait and see how good the s500 is cos somefin else is going to come up and they would have to prove their worth

[/s]

Do i need to copy and paste the same thing again. Stop this rubbish again..
If you type again after the proofs, i will slap you via this screen now... Decoys ko Decong ni.
See update of the wreckages here again.

Stop dreaming and wake up. The anglozionist empire stand no chance even against the syrian outdated airdefense syste, not to talk of Russian.



Lol Anglozionist wannbe fanboys always find something to say.. Never gree. You lie lie media said all missile delivered. No one never said no missile struck.. What everyone is saying is 71 was shot down and see proof of some of them bellow.

The Pentagon says that the US, the UK and France launched 105 missile on targets in Syria on April 14. According to the Pentagon, no missiles were intercepted and all of them hit their targets.

Lie lie lie fake news.

Any system that can stop 75% of air raid is a super system. What if Syrian now gets S-300, they would stop 95% of the attack.. S-400 nko.. 99%.. Open your eyes again. the anglozoo stand no chance.

Open your eyes and see it very well. No need to lie again or continue living in denial. Many were shouting proof proof of wreckage.. This is some of them.. Even after seeing video of the missile going kaboom on air exploding.

AutoReportNG:
In recent times, President Buhari has come under fire from different quarters over various issues one of which is his approval of the withdrawal of about $496million from the excess crude account. While some members of the National assembly have called for his impeachment, his media aide has tried to justify this action with claims that the President's actions were in most part due to the deadline from the US government.

AutoReportNG decided to review the A29 Super Tucano fighter jet for which this money was approved and what makes it so special as to warrant the President breaking protocols to ensure the country purchases them. The review will amaze you.

Overview

As fighters become more complex, the need for highly effective trainer aircraft is on the rise. Embraer’s Super Tucano - a single-engine, stepped-tandem, multi-purpose military turboprop - delivers both training and operational effectiveness at low acquisition and operating costs. It offers advanced solutions for basic to early advanced and weapons familiarization training, such as in-flight virtual training, and also provides the superb operational characteristics required for successful internal security operation support and counter-insurgency (COIN) missions.

The plane is manufactured by Embraer S.A. (EMBR3.SA), a Brazilian aerospace conglomerate. A second production line is in Florida, in a partnership between the privately-held, U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corp. of Sparks, Nev., and Embraer.

More than 200 Super Tucanos are operated by 10 nations, according to Embraer. The plane is used for training and security, surveillance, reconnaissance and counter-insurgency missions.

The plane can carry a wide array of armaments, including precision-guided munitions, is equipped with advanced avionics, communications, and sensors and can operate from remote, unpaved airstrips.

It has a maximum speed of 590 km per hour (367 mph) and a flight ceiling of 35,000 feet (6.6 miles).

Militaries in Afghanistan, Angola, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Indonesia and Mauritania fly the Super Tucano. Guatemala, Senegal, Ghana, Mali, and Lebanon have ordered the aircraft, according to Embraer.

The Super Tucano costs more than $10 million each and the price can go much higher depending on the configuration. It is powered by a Pratt & Whitney (UTX.N) Canada PT 6 engine. Embraer declined to comment on the unit costs.

Weapons

The aircraft is fitted with two central mission computers. The integrated weapon system includes software for weapon aiming, weapon management, mission planning and mission rehearsal. The onboard recording is used for post-mission analysis.

The aircraft has five hardpoints for carrying weapons and is capable of carrying a maximum external load of 1,500kg. The aircraft is armed with two wing-mounted 12.7mm machine guns with a rate of fire of 1,100 rounds a minute and is capable of carrying general-purpose bombs and guided air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. Brazilian AF aircraft are armed with the MAA-1 Piranha short-range infrared guided air-to-air missile from Orbita.

Navigation

The aircraft is equipped with an advanced laser inertial navigation and attack system, a global positioning system (GPS) and a traffic alerting and collision avoidance system (TCAS).

Engine

The EMB-314 Super Tucano is powered by a PT6A-68A turboprop engine, developing 969kW. The power plant is fitted with automatic engine monitoring and control. The ALX aircraft has a more powerful engine than the EMB-314.

Performance of Super Tucano

The EMB-314 can fly at the rate of 24m/s. The maximum and cruise speed of the aircraft are 530km/h and 593km/h respectively. The range and service ceiling of the Super Tucano are 4,820km and 10,670m respectively. Its maximum endurance is six hours and 30 minutes. The aircraft weighs 3,020kg and has a maximum take-off weight of 5,200kg.

How can you even call this thing that looks like jet made since first world war a Super anything ? It looks like drone self, something that can be shot down with RPG.. You heard, RPG will shoot this thing down. RPG is anti-tank weapon but if you point it at this thing, it will destroy it 100% bet.

chrisbaxtian:



how come this superior knowledge could not save the old order from the foreign invaders? if you are so knowledgeable/powerful, how come a large mass of your people abandoned IFA and it's "super-structure" for foreign religions like Christianity and Islam? all what you have typed is a glorious hyperbole of the system you practice.

Via brainwashing, lies, fakenews, corruption, Jihad and Crussade. All these you will find in Foreign ideologies but not in IFa which is the father of all of them. The Truth always win any day ! No matter how long, the Truth always prevail.

Isese Lagba... Agba ti o binu ni omo e Posi. A father that does not get agree will surely have more children arround him. This best define Ifa. Again they did not abandone Ifa. They only accpeted their foreign ideologies into the system and even Yorubanize it. They have Yorubanize the western and eastern ideology. This is what is known as cultural uniformity which already exist in the Totality of Yorubaland ! Which can only be found in Ifa, you will learn this.

Again these arrogant eastern and western ideologies could humble themselves and try to learn (They do this each time they come back to the source as you said too) from these Anterior Cultures, invisiible religion, learn from Ifa and using the ethical values within these cultures, African traditional identity, Culture to suppress, marginalize the ethical values, to arbitrate their conflict with eacth other (often times very artificial conflict for a geo-political struggle of Economic control).

chrisbaxtian:



the "ifa is not a religion, but a spiritual system" is a smooth and somewhat slippery way of dodging the simple truth I have put forward to you. I have heard similar arguments from Christians and Muslims alike, who claim they do not practice religion, but a system/way of life/relationship that links them with their creator. there is no power in what you are involved in. that is my position and I stand by it. the whites flocking towards you are just after exoctic things (for tourism, arts and academic knowledge) not that they really dig the orisa stuff you are all about. ifa is just exoctic, that's why the foreigners are interested in it, no need to make a big deal out of it!

Lol. You are funny again.

What is Power ?
Knowlege is Power.
There is super power in the Ifa Super structure of Knowledge !
This is where you are missing the real deal again.

Ifa is a system of Knowledge ( a way of life, spirituality...) and the first of its kind ever. Let me remind you also of the first ever coding system ever known to Omoeniyan is Ifa 16 digits coding system.

What is similar to your/the western/Eastern Invention of Religion in Ifa spirituality is Orisa which is in Ifa super structure. Everything is in Ifa.
Let me also remind you that before the west even started using injection to pass drugs (ewe) to the blood stream, the Ifa system of Knowlegde already had what is known as Gbere. Then your western warlords were still drinking blood of each other during that Era.

So the Knowlege goes on and on and yes they always come to Ifa at the end of the day to learn more( You are right at least about that). Same goes to those pastors, imam name it. They always come to ifa at the end of the day.

That is just an example.

chrisbaxtian:


ogbeni! war was a tool for the spread of religion! eg Islam. as for the other stuff you are yapping about, your orisas couldn't stop Christianity and Islam from tagging them as demonic and winning over converts. face it oga, you are powerless

Again you are missing the basic principles of Orisa. What you are saying is Political correctness working against cultural openess. The first muslim to enter Oyo were welcomed and were practising their belief without political correctness.

Yes, the Jihadist war only removed the Oyo Empire but dont frget that Alafin Atiba in New Oyo again pushed the Jagidist advances back to Kwara where a treaty was reached. ( Check history of omo Eniyan worldwide) Empire always come and go. This is a fact ok. Where is Greek empire today ?
You can ask the same question as to where is Oyo Empire today ?

So to be realistic, Empires will always come and go. Orisa is still practiced till date and you still have followers of Orisa. Same goes to other African traditional identity.

Converts could be those looking for their Ori. If your Ori is in other ideology, so be it, you are free.. This is the basic principle of Orisa itself. You are just mixing everything up.

Those that were forced to convert, this is Jihad and Crussade religious war at play which is usually more political rather than religious. What you will never find in Orisa. This is why re-investigating your traditional identity is very important so you can know the truth.

What you are saying is Orisa should also set up something like Jihadi and Crussade. This is wrong and we dont have such and will never have it.

Do you know why they say IseSe Lagba ? It's deep. ISESE = Yoruba civilization, Culture, Tradition, Orisa, Cultural identity, Ifa...

Truth always win anyday any time ok. I am not disagreeing with the fact that Jihad and Crussade went on. I am just telling you Islam was even the first to enter Oyo and were practising their beliefs without any issue. Even before the war ok. So get it right for once pls.

chrisbaxtian:



excuses! your post is filled with lame excuses! African traditional religion was almost uprooted entirely by invading religions such as Islam and Christianity! if the JuJu was strong, no such thing would have occurred. the truth is something superior came along and the inferior bowed out

Read it again... You dont know anything about wars and please learn something about Wars and Relgion. Two different things.. The two are different ok. No excuse, it's still what it is. Even though Oyo empire were pretty much backing the tradition of Yoruba people (This is known as Politically correct ideas which often work against cultural openess). The technological advancement was more important in the system of Knowlege Ifa.

' African traditional religion almost uprooted entirely' - Then you don't understand the basic principles of Orisa.
If you dont know please stop typing already because of iggornance. I believe other invisible african religions follow this bacis principles too.

Just one that you may not know... If Jesus were born in Oyo. He would be elevated to the status of Orisa OK.
Now you have over 400 of them that you can choose from. This is known as looking for your Ori.

The Basic principles of Orisa even allow a new ideology entirely to come and starts its own ideology (christianity and Islam here) except that it must not use war or force. This is the Basic principle of Orisa. Looking for your Ori so you can live its lifestyle.

Learn about your traditional identity again and stop the same hearsay.

MrRichmond:


Despite all the powerful jazz, the gods of old, our "able" ancestral spirits, the babalawos and the dibias, Africa was still conquered, plundered and colonized by white skin invaders.

Sad!

....

chrisbaxtian:



the jazz was not powerful jare

You are very funny lol to 'Jazz was not powerful'

First of all you are making a big mistak onto thinking one jazz is what wins war, that is a very big mistake. 'Jazz' as you may call it is just something that exist and does not exist as such. It was more like something lifting the morale of the Warriors.

The whites never conquered the Oyo as such, they did not stand a chance when they came first time as potugese and even the brits were delts with massivly. They were being killed like ants by the then Benin Empire. Go and read history.

Meanwhile Empire always come and go. Ottoman empire (What the North Arewa reffer to as Ousman danfodio) were the main tools used to attack kawara and benin. it was more of a betrayal of trust which the brites then used to their advantage. Dont forget the Ottoman empire too was conquered by the Brits finally. In Oyo the new Oyo under alafin Atiba conquered the Ottoman Jihadist but the Brits used that to its advantage.

Now going back to Jazz or no Jazz.
During the first world war, the Ottoman empire had the biggest army in the world but was technologically lacking behind and it was obvious that they could not win that war as the west were more technologically advance.

same thing goes to many African nations that were conquered. It was more of technological superiority but not Jazz or Orisa religion.

If for anything, Orisa religion has nothing much to do with fighting wars but the warriors do. There is never anything in Orisa that supports using its pricinples laid down by Olodumare handed over to Orumila to fight a religious war like you have in crussade(Christinity) and Jihad(Islam).

And this is how you will know Orisa religion is more superior to the arrogant east and west mere ideology parading itself as a religion.

Please don't get it twitted.

Rewind to the days of Esu ija. Read about the story of Esu Ija. During his rain, all the invaders were killed and prisoners of war were turned to slaves. These were more like stone age where there was no much technology but Ifa.

Many do not know that there is Mathematics, Physics, Philosophy, Peotry, Music, Religion, Chemistry, Medicine in Ifa super structure. It's a super structure of knowledge.

What was needed in Ifa would have been continous research by the branch in ifa known as Elewe Omo(my opinion here). They could have continued the technological advancement but did not.

So please stop saying one Jazz or no Jazz mantra in 2018. Study and try to understand your traditional identity first.

Let us read an article on PRIESTHOOD 
1. Oluwo:


This is a man who has studied and practiced Ifa as a priest for many many years and has not only seen Orisa Odu but owns Orisa Odu (Olodu: owner of Odu) and works with this deity. The Oluwo is the only person who can initiate men into Ifa (Itelodu style). Itelodu is a male Ifa initiation where the men see Orisa Odu as part of their Ifa initiation. And of course, he is the only one that can give someone Orisa Odu.


2. Babalawo:

This is a man who has been initiated into Ifa and has completed a minimum of 5 years of apprenticeship with an Elder Awo, and eventually earns the title of Babalawo. They may or may not have seen Orisa Odu. During the period of apprenticeship, all Ifa apprentices are known as Omo Awo.

If a male has gone through Ifa initiation in which they saw Orisa Odu, this type of Ifa Initiation is called Itelodu. These Ifa Initiates if they decide to be practicing priests (Babalawo) can participate in any type of ceremony where Orisa Odu is being used.
If a male has gone through Ifa initiation in which they didn’t see Orisa Odu, this type of Ifa Initiation is called Itefa. These Ifa Initiates if they decide to be practicing priests (Babalawo) cannot participate directly in any ceremony where Orisa Odu is being used. They are not allowed in the room if Orisa Odu is being propitiated and worked with but they can do other things that do not pertain to Orisa Odu during a ceremony. These are the Babalawos known as Awo Elegan.
Note: Depending on the region, everyone does things a bit different. Some regions make all male Ifa Initiates see Orisa Odu while some regions select only a few chosen men. The reason behind allowing only certain men to see Orisa Odu is something I haven’t investigated yet but these regional differences are real.

3. Iyanifa:


© Araba Ifatola Onifade

This is a woman who has been initiated into Ifa and has completed a minimum of 5 years of apprenticeship with an Elder Awo, and eventually earns the title of Iyanifa. During the period of apprenticeship, all Ifa apprentices are known as Omo Awo.

Note: By default, all women Ifa initiates who are practicing Ifa priests (Iyanifa) also fall into this category of Awo Elegan because women under no circumstance can see, work with, or possess Orisa Odu. The reason for this is beyond the scope of this website.

Note: There are many regional differences in existence around women being Ifa Initiates and/or Ifa Priests:

Some areas do not allow women to be fully initiated into Ifa at all and the women only go through a ceremony called Isefa which is the ceremony of Owo ifa kan (One hand of Ifa) or another ceremony called Isode (Where the woman receives the Ide of Orunmila and must marry a Babalawo and then becomes an Apetebi)
Other areas allow women to be initiated into Ifa (Itefa) and allow them to become Iyanifa one day but they only allow them to cast Ifa with Opele.
Then you have other areas which women are initiated into IFA (Itefa) and they cast Ifa with both ikin and opele.
However; after research conducted around Yoruba land and surrounding areas I have found that there is no odu in existence that prohibits women casting Ifa with ikin.

4. Awo Atemaki:
These are men initiated into Ifa (Itelodu or Itefa) and women initiated into Ifa (Itefa) who after Ifa Initiation decide that they do not want to take on an apprenticeship and be Ifa Priests (Babalawo or Iyanifa). These are the people who initiate into Ifa to simply receive their full destinies.

These people can go on to practice as Olorisa priests, Egungun priests, Oro priests, etc… if they so desire or some can decide not to be priests at all but just worshipers.

Olorisa:
They must learn all the taboos and praise names of the Orisa they are initiated into.
They must know how to feed (Akunlebo) and take care of their Orisa.
They must know how to prepare and give their Orisa to others.
They must know how to initiate others into their Orisa.
They must know how to greet their Orisa.
They must know how to solve peoples problems effectively through their Orisa, help people in their community, and be role models of character to others.
Non Priests:
They should perform the 5/5 day Ose Ifa ritual.
They should be initiated into Ifa to at least have their full Destiny. These are the Awo Atemaki.
They must pray every morning before starting their day to Olodumare, Ori, the Irunmole, the Orisa, and the Egungun.
They must act with good character and teach their children the same.
Code of Conduct for Priests and Non-Priests
Within our tradition; the display of good character is essential but what is good character? Following are the four areas of character which Priests and Non-Priests need to be displaying in their lives 24/7.
Remember… There are consequences for acting without character. Esu is always watching… Olodumare is always watching…

I – Honesty:
According to Ifa, Honesty means thinking, speaking, and acting in truth without bitterness, deceit, or hidden agendas. Being honest also means being able to recognize our limitations, having the courage to accept our guilt or misdeeds, and the ability to refuse to reap the rewards off of others hard work. Basically you must be open minded, rational, realistic to yourself, others, nature, and to Olodumare. Ifa says that Olodumare sent human beings into this world to do good and nothing more and this is how human beings will be judged.

II – Patience:
In Ifa patience means perseverance, endurance, and being level headed. Perseverance is the power of showing care and close attention to work or situation that proves difficult or tiring.

Endurance is the power of bearing pain or discomfort without complaining. Level headed is the ability to wait for something calmly for a long time and the ability to control oneself when angered, especially at slowness or foolishness. In Ifa, rushing into things or looking for magical instantaneous solutions to any problem is out of place. One must be patient at all times.

III – Humility:
An Ifa follower must never behave as if all their achievements in life were from self-effort alone. They must recognize that all their achievements were through Olodumare and the deities. No knowledge or power was brought into this world from heaven. We all acquired such knowledge and power through formal observation, imitation, and learning from others. Because of this there is no room for any Ifa follower to display arrogance or look down upon others. We all learn from each other and no one is self-taught anything and this is why humility is so important.

IV – Hopefulness:
In Ifa being hopeful means having the belief that tomorrow will be better than today. The belief that no matter how bad the present situation may be, it is just temporary and the painful situation will soon give way to peace, joy, gains, and prosperity. Ifa followers must be hopeful at all times and realize that heaven is home and the world is the market place, so one must always be prepared to confront obstacles in ones life and realize that we can overcome and learn from all obstacles.

Good one. As long as Trump is the President. He knows the real enemies

Trump is the real enemy, an existential threat to Nigeria and its environ. It has been like that for years. He even mince no words when he said Africa needs to be colonized again, in reality this is what the Anglozionist empire have been hell bent on and doing for years slowly via soft power and regime change to a puppet regime. They are re-using the same old Jihadi Strategy with their Mujaheedin puppets or proxies.

if you tell nigerians,they will not listen....

in their minds,white jeeeeeeeeesus christ cant do anything wrong....

Thanks a box. We need to keep telling them. They are being brainwashed everyday. This is too much.

How I wish they will build one in Benue right now

You wish not please. It got even worse when american boots was invited by GEJ back then. My good Friend was even jailed for something he knew nothing about during that time(They claimed Mutiny, Go check Jasper http://saharareporters.com/2014/09/16/nigeria-sentences-12-soldiers-death-mutiny). it became terrible. Nigerian soldiers were being sold out to their Boko haram proxies and were just dieing any how. The Nigerian army got infiltrated even more and GEJ finally did the right thing. Told the hegemony soldiers or boots on the ground to leave Nigeria. GEJ shot himself in the leg when he told the empire to leave. GEJ played too much Politics with Nigerian lives and this is the main reason he could not win. He could have deleted the whole Boko haram formation but was trying to please his western master. When he sent all the Boots on the ground out, this move killed the political outcome of Boko Haram(the western proxies) and automatically signed all the angloziost puppets in Nigerian against him and notice how they immediately turned to the next more loyal Puppet, Buhari.. Again you would wish not... When they turn Benue to Next Syria.

Using boko haram as pretext to set up an Air base arround Nigeria is an act of total war since Boko haram failed to provide the pre-determined result, the hegemon went on to plan B. Surround Nigeria with base as if Base is what Nigeria needs at the moment.


The US Air Force is building a base for armed drones in Niger in order to combat militant groups in Africa’s vast Sahel region.

On April 16, the US and Niger flag were raised side by side at the base camp for air forces and other personnel supporting the construction of Niger Air Base 201 in Agadez, Niger, Military.com reported.

The drone base, costing $110 million, features a runway that is 6,800 feet long and 150 feet wide as it not only needs to accommodate drones such as the MQ-9 Reaper, but also the much heavier C-17 cargo planes. The MQ-9 Reaper is one of the most advanced drones available to the US Air Force. Niger Air Base 201 is expected to be functional early next year.

The drones at the base are expected to target several different al-Qaida and Islamic State group-affiliated factions in countries throughout the Sahel, a sprawling region south of the Sahara, including the area around Lake Chad, where the Nigeria’s Boko Haram insurgency has spread.

The intelligence gathered by the drones can be used by Niger and other U.S. allies for combating extremists, said Commander Brad Harbaugh, who is in charge of the new base.

The US-Africa Command spokeswoman Samantha Reho also welcomed the construction of the military facility:

“The location in Agadez will improve U.S. Africa Command’s capability to facilitate intelligence-sharing that better supports Niger and other partner nations, such as Nigeria, Chad, Mali and other neighbors in the region and will improve our capability to respond to regional security issues.”

However, there are some more incredulous opinion over the US aims in the Sahel region. Ibrahim Maiga, a Mali-based researcher for the Institute for Security Studies, pointed that more information needs to be known about the U.S. military presence in the region.

“The U.S. military footprint in the Sahel is difficult to grasp, just as it is not easy to assess its effectiveness,” he said according to AP. “There isn’t nearly enough information in the public space on this presence.”

E.J. Hogendoorn, the director of the International Crisis Group’s deputy Africa program in Washington said that the deployment may increase local hostility.

“The deployment of armed drones is not going to make a strategic difference and may even increase local hostility to the U.S. and the central government in distant Niamey”, the New York Times quoted Hogendoorn as saying.

The civic leader Nouhou Mahamadou also expressed concerns, according to the New York Times:

“The presence of foreign bases in general and American in particular is a serious surrender of our sovereignty and a serious attack on the morale of the Nigerien military.”

JUHABACH:


any tom, dick and Harry can gather a bunch of scrap and label it whatever they like. sorry to dash your hopes, but the burden of proof is much higher than what any local panel beater can cook up.
if they can be kind enough to show raw data from the air defense systems showing that targets were intercepted and actual satellite images , then I will take them seriously.
don't tag me for this nonsense.

[/s]

Lol Anglozionist wannbe fanboys always find something to say.. Never gree. You lie lie media said all missile delivered. No one never said no missile struck.. What everyone is saying is 71 was shot down and see proof of some of them bellow.

The Pentagon says that the US, the UK and France launched 105 missile on targets in Syria on April 14. According to the Pentagon, no missiles were intercepted and all of them hit their targets.

Lie lie lie fake news.

Any system that can stop 75% of air raid is a super system. What if Syrian now gets S-300, they would stop 95% of the attack.. S-400 nko.. 99%.. Open your eyes again. the anglozoo stand no chance.

The Pentagon says that the US, the UK and France launched 105 missile on targets in Syria on April 14. According to the Pentagon, no missiles were intercepted and all of them hit their targets.

See why the west stand no chance even against Syrian outdated missile defense system even though panstir Ad was added to its missile defense systems.

Last week, the fact-finding mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) visited a site in the Damascus suburb of Douma to collect samples in connection with the alleged April 7 chemical attack.

Sergey Rudskoy has announced that the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had confirmed that there were no chemical weapons found at the Barzeh research center in Damascus despite the US officials' claims.

The official further noted that thousands of people could have died if there was any chemical weapon on the sites that were attacked by the US-led coalition.

"Shortly after the airstrikes, many people visited those sites without any protective equipment. No one got any signs of gas-poisoning," Colonel-General Sergey Rudskoy said.

On US Airstrikes in Syria

Russian specialists are examining missiles of the US-led coalition, including Tomahawk, which were captured in Syria to improve Russian weapons, Rudskoy said Wednesday.

"Two [missiles] including Tomahawk cruise missile and a high-precision aviation missile were delivered to Moscow… They are now being examined by our experts. The results of this work will be used to improve Russian weapons," he told a briefing.

Rudskoy further noted that only seven western missiles struck the Syrian Han Shinshar facility, which allegedly housed chemical weapons, not 22 as the Pentagon claims.

The senior official stressed that chemical weapons were never developed or stored in Han Shinshar, located in the province of Homs, adding that the storage was struck twice, not seven times, as the US side claims.

"According to the statements of the Pentagon’s representatives, 22 missiles hit the above-ground facilities. We registered no more than seven hits, which is shown in the space image," he told a briefing.

At the same time, according to the senior military official, Russia will supply new air defense systems to Syria in the near future.

"Russian specialists will continue training Syrian military personnel, and will assist in mastering new air defense systems, which will be supplied in the near future," Rudskoy said.

Earlier, reports have emerged about an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria, published by an online Syrian opposition news portals on April 7, claiming that a chemical attack took place in Syria in the city of Douma near Damascus.
Reacting to the reports, the United States and the European Union said the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad was behind the attack.

Moscow has called the news reports about the attack "hoaxes" and warned against military attacks against Syrian areas where Russian troops are deployed.
The Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria representatives inspected the location of the alleged attack and questioned local doctors, who said that they had not received individuals with symptoms of any chemical poisoning.

However, despite the lack of evidence, the US, alongside France and the UK, launched a massive missile attack against Syria on April 14 in response to the alleged chemical attack in the city of Douma.

Nice work! The 'mind control propaganda machine network' https://www.nairaland.com/4467929/u.s-government-accidentally-releases-documents will obviously turn a blind eye to these revelations. Also those super brainwashed victims will keep quiet.

But one of them is speaking out big time and Im glad this is happening.

Wetin dey do this pompeo sef,you wan attack Iran militarily, a lot of Europeans country won't follow the USA to war this time around

You see person name pompeo.. How can someone be bearing pompeo (Pump -pe-o). Him think say Iran na iraq nah. Leave am make him attack and see how far. ( I wonder which Army he wan use self, Already spent army ?) Syria wey dem attack them never win, still getting full time push back.

Iraq vs Iran war..Iran won that war. Ordinary Hezbolar there, Israel and its backer no fit defeat except trying to bribe their way which ended in failure. time to end Apartheid regime and return land back to the rightful owner. South Africa is an example there. No matter how long, justice will finally come to the Palestines. No amt of Propaganda will save the Zionist regime.

Just months after the mysterious ‘brain-melting weapon’ accusations in Cuba, that left several US diplomats with long-term mental damage, something very strange has popped up… from an even stranger origin.

Earlier this year, MuckRock Journalist Curtis Waltman (who specializes in filing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests) wrote to the Washington State Fusion Center (WSFC) – a joint operation between Washington State law enforcement and the federal government – to request information about Antifa and white supremacist groups.

He received a satisfactory response to the question she had asked, but as Waltman notes, when you send thousands of FOIA requests, you are bound to get some very weird responses from time to time… and so he did – attached to the response was a file titled “EM effects on human body.zip.” Inside were documents like this:



As Waltman writes, what you are looking at here is “psycho-electronic” weapons that purportedly use electromagnetism to do a wide variety of horrible things to people, such as reading or writing your mind, causing intense pain, “rigor mortis,” or most heinous of all, itching.

Now to be clear, the presence of these records (which were not created by the fusion center, and are not government documents) should not be seen as evidence that DHS possesses these devices, or even that such devices actually exist. Which is kind of unfortunate because “microwave hearing” is a pretty cool line of technobabble to say out loud.


You know what’s even cooler? “Remote Brain Mapping.” It is insanely cool to say. Go ahead. Say it. Remote. Brain. Mapping.

Just check the detail on these slides too. The black helicopter shooting off its psychotronic weapons, mapping your brain, broadcasting your thoughts back to some fusion center. I wish their example of “ELF Brain stimulation” was a little clearer though.

It’s difficult to source exactly where these images come from, but it’s obviously not government material. One seems to come from a person named “Supratik Saha,” who is identified as a software engineer, the brain mapping slide has no sourcing, and the image of the body being assaulted by psychotronic weapons is sourced from raven1.net, who apparently didn’t renew their domain.

It’s entirely unclear how this ended up in this release. It could have been meant for another release, it could have been gathered for an upcoming WSFC report, or it could even be from the personal files of an intelligence officer that somehow got mixed up in the release.

A call to the WSFC went unreturned as of press time, so until we hear back, their presence remains a mystery.

The USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group left the east coast Naval Station Norfolk, VA on 11th April.

The aircraft carrier is accompanied by the guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy, the guided-missile destroyers USS Burke, Bulkeley, Forest Sherman and Farragut, and the destroyers USS Jason and The Sullivans. The strike group carries 6,500 sailors and Carrier Air Wing One.

Recent announcements about Russia’s hypersonic Kinzhal (‘Dagger’) missile system having made these vessels effectively obsolete, this means that the ships and their crews are essentially being sailed into a bloody scrapyard.

Even without the recent upgrading of the Kinzhal system, the experience of the British fleet in the Falklands conflict illustrates the vulnerability of warships to low-flying missiles. In addition to the sinking of the HMS Sheffield and Sir Galahad, virtually every British ship was hit by at least one of Argentinian’s French-made Exocet missiles – a weapons system which was already 20 years old at the time.

Exocet missile sinks HMS Sheffield during Falklands War:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUZu8bvxJs4
Reportedly the only thing that saved the UK force from obliteration was that the Argentinians had got their missile altimeter settings wrong. The Russians will not make the same sort of error!

These facts are of course known to the US military planners and – one would assume and hope, for it is duty to know – by Donald Trump. And yet the US fleet is now nearing the coast of Syria, where it will met up with American and other NATO warships already in position. Together, they will make one big flock of sitting ducks.

If the people pushing Trump manage to get him launch a new strike on Syria (and we must expect a new false flag attack) and if the massive increase in NATO firepower means that enough missiles get through to enough targets to kill Russians, then Putin really has no choice but to sink the US fleet.

No choice because, whatever the danger of doing so, failure to respond would signal Russian defeat and retreat in Syria, which would of course lead to a rapid escalation of military pressure against Lebanon and Iran, and mean that when the Empire then rolls on to strike Russia, her most reliable allies will already have gone and her ‘soft underbelly’ will be seriously exposed.

So Putin orders the destruction of the US fleet, and an hour later all that is left is debris and mangled corpses in some oil slicks – and some ‘great’ photos and video clips to illustrate Trump’s declaration of war on account of “Russia’s deadly sneak attack on a US humanitarian force”.

Sounds familiar? It should do. Because we’re not just thinking here of the USS Maine, the Lusitania and the Gulf of Tonkin. The Washington habit of using sunken ships as the causus belli also of course included Pearl Harbor.

Just in case you need a reminder, here’s just one example of the many short videos out there on the truth about the Japanese attack on 7th December 1941 which explain how Roosevelt had advance intelligence of the planned attack, but decided not to pass it on to the anchored sitting duck fleet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7tfoH6mVCo
The more or less official excuse (the President’s guilt never having been formally acknowledged) is that to have alerted the fleet would also have tipped off the Japanese that their naval codes had already been broken. But the truth is of course that deliberately didn’t warn the fleet because he knew that the sacrifice would goad the American people into a war against Hitler to which he and those around and behind him were committed, but which the American people opposed.

The circumstances this time are of course somewhat different, not least that everyone with even a passing knowledge of the Russian missile capability already knows that 6,500 sailors are “on their way to Samara”.

Which makes Donald Trump either a criminally incompetent fool, a bad poker player or a wholly controlled puppet of the psychotic Anglo-Zionist elite. If he is one of the first two of these, then there is of course still a chance that he might respond to the disaster by blinking and retreating. In which case, the Beltway elite will use the human tragedy and his humiliation to remove him from office (not a bad consolation prize, from their point of view).

But if he is the third, then the ‘shock’ blitz on the US fleet will lead to the immediate declaration of World War Three.

Indeed, if things get that far (and we’re probably 48 hours and one White Helmets’ video away from it) then the only thing that realistically stands a chance of stopping the racist Anglo-Zionist psychopaths in their tracks is if the Russian attack and its result are such a devastating show of ‘shock and awe’ as to make it impossible for them to ignore a simultaneous public warning by Putin to Netanyahu that any further US hostile response will place Israel directly in the firing line as well.

That might JUST be enough to make the Neocons back off. If not, then World War Three it will be. It might not go nuclear straight away, but even while it is conventional EVERYTHING will change:

Dissident anti-war voices such as this will rapidly be silenced by blanket censorship and internment; your sons and daughters will be conscripted; your taxes will go through the roof – and you will have to live with the ever-present fear that, once China enters the war against Washington and its client states, the tide will run so fast against the ‘democratic allies’ that their ‘humanitarian missiles’ will end up with nuclear tips.

If that disturbs you (and it surely should) then all I ask is that you take the Pearl Harbor analogy and get busy spreading it on social media RIGHT NOW. Because once those young sailors and airmen have been sacrificed, the demand for a war of ‘revenge’ will be unstoppable. But if the warmongers realize that plenty of people have already understood the plan, it might just spook them into backing off.

In which case the fleet can do a few face-saving manoeuvres and then sail home again and we can look forward to a summer which may be warm, but not as uncomfortably hot as it could otherwise become!

The Yoruba people of South West Nigeria, are one of the largest race south of the Sahara Desert. In several ways they are one of the most interesting and important people of the continent of Africa. Their religion is called Orisa. The population of Yoruba people as of 1962 had reached 10-11 million people. Their traditions with in urban life give them a unique place among not only other African societies as well many other societies in the World. Yoruba society has been well known and advanced in the areas of Economics, Government, and in particular Art and Religion. They rank highly among other West African ethnic groups, representing the highest level of cultural achievement in Sub Saharan Africa.

Their religion called Orisa has been misinterpreted when missionaries came into their midsts. Orisa in Yoruba perspective, according to one Ese Ifa or Ifa stanza say, Orunmila said human beings became Orisa, I said, human beings became Orisa, Orunmila said, don’t you see Ogun, he is a human being, but when he demonstrated wisdom and power he was elevated and became Orisa. I said human beings became Orisa, he said don’t you see Obatala, he is human being, but when he demonstrated wisdom and power, he was elevated and became Orisa. The other Orisa where blessed as well from human being to Orisa. They worshiped a knowledgeable person it is human being that became Orisa.

Orisa is Yoruba cosmology. Those that selected their ori became more superior than others. Èniyàn tí Orí sà dá. If Jesus was born in Yoruba land he would have been pronounced an Orisa and like wise Muhammad.

Every town and village in Yoruba Land has its foundation in Ese Ifa or Ifa stanza. Each town was established and founded with Odu Ifa. They used this Odu Ifa to established the culture and tradition of each town. Just as an adage says, Bayi ni àáse nile wa èèwò ni bomiran

The odu ifa for each town as follows

Ede – Osa Oloyan
Ila Orangun – Ofun Meji
Osogbo – Idin Ileke
Iwo – Obara Otua
Ado ibini- odi meji
Ipapo – Otura Meji
Ido Ekiti – Ogunda Wori
Ido Osure – Obara meji
Awori Ota – Irete Owonrin
Oko – Ogunda Meji
Agbada Rigi – Ogbe Ogunda
Ilu Apa – Oyeku Meji
Oyo Alaafin – Ogbe Otura
Ilorin- Okanran Iwori

Some of our Monarch in Yoruba Land are saying that their cities were founded by the Islamic Nation. This assertion is false, Islam did not establish the Yoruba Nation. The Oba or King of each town have an important role, they are the custodian of the Yoruba traditions of its inhabitants. The Yoruba people hold their Oba or King in high esteem and regard him as the owner of all power for that city.

The power of the Oba or King is like that of the Orisa. If the Oba turns against the traditions of his home city it is the wrath of his progenitors the people will seek. No Oba of any Yoruba nation has the right to create a new name for his city. It’s not the right thing to do. Although two imported religions have firmly established themselves with us, a wise one will know how to use knowledge to not practice it.

The Treasures and Heritage of Yoruba Land need to be protected by not only individuals of Yoruba Land but also the Monarchs, the Monarchs need to lead the way and set a good example. The Jews are Jewish because they believe in their way of worship. The Christians are Christian because they believe in their way of Worship. It is freedom of worship that will salvage this nation from being ruined by modern Oba’s and civilization.

A child that does not respect culture will not care to destroy it.

After winning an Economy war, one could have thought that the best way for Mr. president is to provide an asymmetric measure to reviving the Economy by setting up Ajaokuta Steel industry but after deep findings, one could argue that Buhari is another western Puppet to suppress, delay and subjugate the future of Nigerians.

Others too did virtually the same thing during their Semi puppet regimes. Lamido, who went down memory lane while insisting that Buhari must be stopped in 2019, said that when Buhari first came into power in 1983, he closed down the Ajaokuta Steel Company and the Katsina Steel Rolling Mill.

Any president that does this for whatever reason is only jeopardizing the future of Nigerians and this is strong reason to rush on to the street of Abuja to launch a massive campaign to end his tenure already. A treasonable offence would be serving the interest of foreigners first rather than that of Nigerians. Instead of waiting till 2019, this could be is a strong reason to removing Buhari before 2019.

Any president that won't get Ajaokuta Steel Company running should be ready to vacate the post.

Just a brief timeline of AjaOkuta Steel industry.

- For straight 40 years Ajaokuta has been sabotaged.

Late President Yaradua may be been assasinated because of the Ajaokuta Steel Industry and Electricity Struggle. Lets remind readers of the event that went on before Yaradua's death and what happened after his death. This way Nairalanders will know the truth.


Before Yaradua's death, OBJ went Russia to sign a deal to complete Ajaokuta. Russian experts came to Nigeria checked the damages and replied back to Russia. When the work was about starting. OBJ was threatened to death in our home land. Do you remember Lagos bomb blast ? That was the threat to kill OBJ. A few months after that, OBJ replied Putin's letter but did not mention anything about Ajaokuta, gave it to Soulgas. A saboteur that was recommended by an American.

Now, Yaradua came and canceled the concession that was given to SOulgas and its partner in crime GINL(A saboteur company known in Libya, Bulgaria and elsewhere)

Yaradua did not only do that but also signed a new deal with the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev (https://www.rt.com/news/medvedev-visit-to-nigeria-marred-by-attacks/) that visited Nigeria. He signed a Rosatom deal to build nuclear power plants that will save Nigeria finally or bring Nigeria out of total darkness.


These were Yaradua's redline and he died mysteriously in Saudi Arabia.

Now Lets check the event that took place after his death.

GEJ was installed and he re-concession the Ajaookuta back to the saboteurs not only that but also replaced the Rosatom deal with GE plants. The same GE plants Fashola today is complaining of gas sabotage to it. Is this the vicious circle our western partners want Nigerians to be in ?

Akaokuta Steel industry alone can power 2 states when it's completed and working full time for 25 years. It will power Kogi and Benue state for 25 years non stop. Not only that but also bring in massive forex for the Nigerian Economy.

There is really no time for slow motion. Instead of waiting for 2019, time to kick this puppet out of the post before 2019 and made it clear that we are voting for AjaOkuta comes 2019.

EACH “CLICK” BRINGS US ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE “BANG!”

[This column was written for the Unz Review]

Trump pulled the trigger, but instead of a “bang!” what the world heard was a demure “click”. Considering that we are talking about playing a most dangerous game of potentially nuclear Russian AngloZionist roulette, the “click” is very good news indeed. But, to use the words of Nikki Haley, the US “gun” is still “locked and loaded”.

There are a number of versions out there about what really happened, but I think that the most likely explanation for that “click” is a combination of two events:

1. The US did go out of its way to avoid even giving the appearance of attacking the Russian or Iranian forces in Syria. With these kinds of rules of engagement, the target list and flight trajectory of the US missiles was easy to predict for the Syrian air defenses.
2. The Syrian air defenses, now integrated with the Russian C4ISR networks and probably upgraded, performed way better than most people had expected.
I honestly don’t know who in the US should get the credit for doing the right thing, but that person(s) deserves our collective gratitude. Rumors say that Mattis was the man, others point to Dunford and some even to Trump himself (I doubt that). Again, I don’t know who did it, but this action deserves a standing ovation. The fact that this (predictably) dismal performance was then covered up with silly statements about a “perfect strike” and “all missiles hit their target” is standard operating procedure, a basic exercise in face-saving and an attempt to appease the always bloodthirsty Neocons. The most important lesson from this latest development is that there are still some people in key positions in the US who did what had to be done to avoid a catastrophic escalation in Syria. The question now is how long can these “sane forces” (for lack of a better identifier) continue to resist the “crazies”?

Needless to say, the Israel Lobby and the Neocons are absolutely furious. And just to add insult to injury, the Russians are now saying that they will provide the Syrians with S-300 batteries (which would be able to track and engage Israeli aircraft practically from their take-off). I would argue that the Israelis did that one to themselves with their own missile strikes at the worst possible time, but the fact this is self-inflicted does not make it less painful for the Israelis.

But the biggest problem is that this outcome, while very positive by itself, really solves nothing. The key unresolved issues are

1) Does anybody, especially the UNSC or/and Russia get to “veto” the AngloZionist Hegemony’s actions anywhere on the planet? The official US position is a categorical “no!”. The outcome in Syria, however, does strongly suggest a “yes”.

2) Is the US willing to come to terms with the fact that the Hegemony has failed to overthrow the Syrian government and that the Syrians have won the war? The official US position on this has flip-flopped a number of times, but I would argue that the “no” camp is much stronger than the “yes” camp. The current US posture in Syria strongly suggests that the USA is not quite ready yet to “declare victory and leave”.
3) Have the Skripal and Douma false flag chemical (pseudo-) attacks been sufficient to re-subordinate the post-Brexit EU to the Anglosphere and have the AngloZionists been successful in forging a united front for a “Crusade against Russia”? The majority of EU governments have been willing to endorse any nonsense or violation of international law under the pretext of “solidarity”, but there are still quite a few cracks in this apparent unity.

At this moment the situation is extremely fluid and there are too many potential variables which can determine the next developments in order to make a prediction better than a wild guess. The only thing which is certain that this confrontation between the AngloZionist Hegemony and Russia is far from over, both in Syria and elsewhere (the Ukraine).

Fundamentally, our entire planet has to make a choice between two mutually exclusive world orders.

Right now the “collective West” is engaged in a truly titanic effort to preserve the Hegemony, but the writing is very much on the wall, hence the kind of silly histrionics we now see from the likes of Trump, May and Macron. In this context, the war in Syria is primarily a war over the right of the USA to do whatever the hell it wants irrespective of international law, facts, logic or even common sense. Nikki Haley’s message to the world has been beautifully simple, consistent and blunt: “we are the Hegemon, we are above everything and everybody, above you and above any of your laws or principles. We are even above facts or logic. Bow down and worship us or else!“.

The problem for the AngloZionists is that while most western leaders have agreed to these terms (this is what “solidarity” means nowadays), the rest of the planet is quietly but actively seeking ways to explore other options and even some relatively weak and/or small countries (Bolivia for example) are still willing to openly reject this AngloZionist diktat. As for Russia and China, they are already de-facto creating a new, alternative, multi-polar world order where the Anglosphere will be limited to be only “one amongst many” and not the kind of planetary master-race its leaders fancy themselves to be.

It is interesting that the main tactic chosen by the “collective West” to respond to these challenges has been to basically go into deep denial and worry about perceptions much more than about facts on the ground. Hence the “perfect strike”. Carl Rove put it best when he said “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do”.

In the 1990s there used to be a popular, but unattributed, quote which said “you have not won until CNN says that you won”. Today, we are witnessing something similar, just reversed: you have not lost until CNN says that you lost. I felt an eerie sense of déjà vu when Trump tweeted “mission accomplished” repeating the exact same words Dubya spoke on his aircraft carrier just before all hell truly broke loose in Iraq (I can imagine how the folks at CENTCOM, who are reportedly really upset, must have cringed when they heard this!). I hope that Marx was right when he said that “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce”. The long-suffering Middle-East has surely gone through enough tragedies, but I am afraid that what we have just witnessed with the latest US strike in Syria was the farce, and that a very real tragedy still might be in the making.

The Neocons can roughly be separated into two types: first, those stupid enough to believe that the latest strikes were, indeed, a magnificent success, and those who are just smart enough to realize that it was a pathetic flop. The first type will be emboldened by the sense of total impunity (and the US did, in fact, get away with this grievous violation of all the norms of civilized behavior and international law) while the second type will continue to demand a much stronger attack. Combine the two and you have a perfect recipe for a very dangerous situation.

And now here is the really bad news: the US ground forces (Army) are pretty much useless, while the US Navy and Air Force are in big, big trouble: the USN surface fleet is now quasi obsolete due to the Russian Kinzhal missile, while the USAF doesn’t seem to be able to operate in an environment with modern Russian surface to air missiles. None of them appear to be able to get anything done other than wasting an immense amount of money and killing a lot of people, mostly civilians. Just like their Israeli and Saudi allies, the US armed forces are just not capable of taking on any meaningful enemy capable of defending itself. There is only one segment of the US armed forces which is still fully capable of accomplishing its mission: the US nuclear triad. Hence all the attempts by US force planners and strategists to find a doctrine not only for the use of nuclear forces as a deterrent, but to re-conceptualize them as a war-fighting capability (missile defense, micro-nukes, etc.). Think of it this way: the only credible (real world) means of aggression left to the Empire are nuclear weapons. Many (most?) people don’t realize that (yet), but with each failed conventional attack this reality will become harder and harder to hide.

Will the people who this time around succeeded in foiling the Neocon plans for a real, hard, strike on Syria, and possibly even on the Russian task force in Syria, succeed the next time? I don’t know. But I can’t ignore the fact that each “click” brings us one step closer to the “bang”. And that suggests to me that the only real solution to this extremely dangerous situation is to find a way to remove the finger pressing on the trigger or, better, take away the gun from the nutcase threatening us all with it.

The Saker

By Aram Mirzaei for Nairalanders

One week after the latest US aggression against Syria, the Syrian Army and its allies have spared no efforts in continuing their raging fight against terrorism. Douma was liberated last week, right after Washington and its vassals bombed Syria to “save lives”, and on Tuesday reports emerged that jihadist militants of the besieged city of Al-Dumayr, further east of Damascus, have agreed to evacuate to northern Syria. With this last pocket cleared, all of the Rif Dimashq (Damascus Governorate) will be cleared of terrorists.

Meanwhile jihadists in the Rastan pocket further north have reportedly called for the Russian center for Reconciliation to start negotiations for an evacuation as well. The pockets are falling one by one in Syria, these are areas that were previously considered untouchable but are now falling within days of fighting. I previously mentioned that Washington and its allies’ resolve in Syria had been shattered, this is how it’s manifested.

What Washington is currently doing on the ground in Syria is a mystery since their attempts to partition the country will be met with full force from the Resistance Front (Syria-Iran-Russia-Hezbollah) and even their own Turkish NATO allies who will never allow the formation of a YPG-led Kurdistan south of their borders. If anything, the failed attempt in Iraq, where all countries in the surrounding area united to oppose illegal Kurdish independence, should have taught Washington’s Kurdish proxies a lesson.

With these facts at hand, it could explain why US president Trump is considering a withdrawal of American troops. Although encouraging news indeed, I remain very sceptic to the likelihood of that happening, despite the recent Saudi offer to replace US troops with their own forces in the US occupied territories of eastern Syria. Even with France also offering to replace US troops, the chances of a US withdrawal out of Syria seems rather slim, because since when has the US truly withdrawn from a country it has invaded? Take Iraq for example, Washington supposedly withdrew in 2011, seven years later they still find ways to weasel themselves into Baghdad.

This doesn’t mean that Washington won’t attack Syria again, in fact, much like a wounded animal, Washington is even more dangerous now and will probably lash out at Syria soon again.

Once the last of the pockets are cleared, Syria will turn its eyes on the terrorist stronghold of Idlib in northern Syria. Rest assured that new false flag chemical weapons attacks will be carried out every time the Syrian Army is about to crush the terrorists, and Washington will once more find a new excuse to delay the certain defeat of these terrorists. We all saw what last weeks strikes were all about, a show of force where Trumps “smart missiles” were largely beaten by Syria’s even smarter air defence.

After Douma was liberated the day after the strikes, recent images taken by the Syrian Army showed a grotesque reality of what these throatcutters of Jaysh Al-Islam were doing in Douma. Footage of entire underground cities and massive prison complexes dug by the civilians of Douma through means of slavery and threats proves how “moderate” the Zionist backed “rebels” truly are.

As Hezbollah Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah said earlier this week “anyone still thinking about Syria’s collapse is delusional”. So what does Washington hope to achieve in eastern Syria? The truth is that Washington has no strategy in Syria, even Washington itself has admitted to this several times.

According to analyst Elijah Magnier, Washington had planned a major offensive on the Syrian capital before the Syrian Army’s East Ghouta offensive. According to Magnier, citing sources in Damascus, just as the Syrian Army’s southern Idlib offensive was reaching its peak, the offensive was ordered to halt and the spearhead forces to be redeployed to Ghouta.

Magnier explains that “Russia had informed the Syrian leadership of a large gathering of forces at Al-Tanf US-occupied military base on the Syrian-Iraqi borders, where tens of thousands of US proxies have received continuous military training. The Russians identified unusual military movements and understood that the US was preparing to push Syrian proxy forces to reach eastern Ghouta, linking itself with around 30,000 jihadists in Ghouta itself. This attack was planned to take place simultaneously with a diversion from Daraa, southern Syria, attacking south of Damascus so as to deceive the Syrian army and its allies into leaving smaller forces around the capital.”

This plan which would have severely undermined the Russian-Iranian-Syrian efforts since 2015 and given Washington the upper-hand was foiled because of Russian vigilance. With Ghouta now liberated, Washington’s hopes for a game changing move grows slim.

Washington still holds sway among its Kurdish proxy forces in the SDF, but are they ready and willing to fight Washington’s fight against Syria and its powerful allies, while trying to fend off constant Turkish attacks? I highly doubt that. The only thing Washington can do now is to delay and foolishly undermine the inevitable collapse of the West’s jihadist proxies, with the Syrian Army and its allies closing in on them at every front.



This is the end of the line for Washington, it’s time to step off because Syria will win.

Number 1) Complete the drainage in the whole state and set up Bicycle lane on the finished drainage space (Nigerian Engineers can do this one) in all the local govement area. This will reduce trafic in each local goverment area. Then increase Public transport tarrif in those Local goverment area, this will force many to buy bicycle and run on the bicyle lanes.
For example link up all the Bicycle lane in Kosofe Local government area, Badagri, Somulu , Ikeja is almost done but some are still lacking behind.

Number 2) Start 4th mainland bridge and also cable car to link up Ikorodu to Island also set up more ferries and start teaching Primary pupils how to swim. Set up Swimming course in all Lagos state primary school to teach pupils how to swim. A course they must all pass to graduate.(Outcome is to make them scare-less of water).

Extra:
Once the Bluelane (Tram) is completed and all the above is done. Set up state road tax and parking tax to force people to stop using their cars when they can ride bicycle or use the Public transport. The road tax should be ROI for those who invested in Blue lane, drainage and 4th mainland bridge (they can set up toll gate for this one)
