    Literally the entire western MSM and Obama WH pundits have been totally wrong about Putin's intentions and actions in both eastern Ukraine and now Syria......

    Do no think for a moment think that Turkey and KSA are actually bluffing....the reaction of the IRGC Commander and the FARs instant reporting on the alleged 150K Sunni invasion force and the somewhat over reaction of the Russians to the Turkish cancelled Russian requested Open Skies flight..is also starting to wear on Putin.....

    Aggressive Russian air strikes on civilians is just as high today .....which will further fuel the Turks and Saudi's....

    The Obama WH seems to fail to accept the simple fact that in the eyes of the Turks and KSA Iran now controls the capitals of FOUR Arab nation states....Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq.

    If Saudis & Turks are bluffing or playing a political manoeuvre & fail to back it up with action, this will be worse than Obama's CW retreat

    Why do I say this...for Turkey and KSA to not follow through insures the regional hegemony for Iran and the Shia taking control of a bulk of the Arab/Sunni ME world......so some amount of ground forces will actually go in....

    Then Putin has a choice to make as he does not have the necessary Russian ground forces to react and his AF strength cannot match what Jordan and KSA can throw at them....make in fact explain the sudden Russian AD build out.....

    Putin has actually wanted a clash with NATO and he might just get it.....

    Right now Obama and Kerry have absolutely no creditability left with either Turkey and or KSA.... and the entire GCC.

    50 #Russia|n airstrikes destroy half the houses, a mosque & the only school in Kissin, #Homs, #Syria

    More than 12 #Russia|n airstrikes targeted civilian areas with cluster munitions in Tafas, #Daraa last night
    http://youtu.be/_5RT4vYGuCw

    Important as most if not all bread bakeries in south rural #Idlib & north rural #Hama have been destroyed by #Russia|n airstrikes

    Eilaf & Turkish IHH aid agency open new bakery to feed 3000 displaced families in rural #Idlib,
    http://youtu.be/mgeyNO1Otyc

    Yet another bread bakery destroyed by Assad artillery/rocket fire in al-Hrak, #Daraa, #Syria yesterday

    After capturing Ziyara & Khurayba, YPG have captured al-Zinkah hill (Gire Miska) south of Nubl/Zahra area after clashes with rebels this AM

    Reports that YPG are preparing to take Deir Jamal & Kafr Naya now as well. With Russian air cover anything is possible. #Aleppo #Syria

    One of the key reasons that the Turks and Saudi's are now moving....NOTICE not a single word from the western MSM and the Obama WH......

    IRGC battalions from Kermanshah, Esfahan, Qom, Gilan, Fars, Khorasan, Khuzestan… at war with Syrian people

    For those that do not believe we are seeing in Syria the extension of what Khomeini started in 1979 with what he called "revolutionary Islam" and being carried out by Khamenei

    Iran backed Shia militias in #Nubul, north rural #Aleppo, #Syria
    “Labayk Ya Khamenei”


    Would highly recommend finding this on the net and downloading and thoroughly reading the very long analysis.....well worth the efforts in the end and it will place the current Khamenei mindset into a perspective that is not talked about by the Obama WH who is "hoping against hope" Iran will "moderate"...but it never will as long has the religious theocracy is in place and defended by the IRGC.....
