    Default A frank Russian view on the Syrian War

    Hat tip to Crowbat for this Russian article, 'Why Russia did not succeed in Syria after one year of involvement' written by a ret'd Air Defence staff officer, Col. Mikhail Mikhailovich Hodarenok and in Russian is on:https://www.gazeta.ru/army/2016/09/22/10209455.shtml

    Crowbat has a rough translation, but if anyone can supply another feel free to post! In two posts, which will appear first after this thread is created. The new thread is for this article to get a higher profile.

    The main, current Syrian War thread has several recent Russian comments from open source analysts.

    Khaled Khatib @995Khaled
    Al Assad forces deliberately targeted 3 @SyriaCivilDef centres in Aleppo city just this morning. 2 of them are put out of service.

    Another attack reported on @SyriaCivilDef HQ in east Aleppo's Ansari district. It seems warplanes looped back to bomb second time in a day.

    Syria: At least 300 civilians killed, hundreds wounded across rebel-held parts of Aleppo since Assad declared end to ceasefire.

    Seems #Turkey's #EuphratesShield collapsing in northern #Aleppo against #IslamicState counter assault (IS regained 20 villages)

    Syria #IslamicState advancing closer on Al-Ra'i town against #FSA & #Turkey army

    Syria #IslamicState advancing closer on #DeirEzZor regime airbase from north & south

    INTERESTING that the German SPD Vice Chancellor and the German SPD FM now both have adopted the Russian lies that it was the Syrian AF that bombed the aid convoy AND the Russian demands that the US stop bombing IS and separate the rebels from JFS.....

    Both claimed the evidence of the Syrian bombing came from their intelligence services....

    German SPD has taken in the last few months a decidedly proRussian viewpoint and has chastised both NATO and the US starting the eastern Ukraine problem........

    The photo attached to this comment seems to indicate that the Russians are now dropping deep penetration bunker busting bombs as this is one deep crater never previously seen before....

    Aleppo: terrible pictures from E. neighbourhoods where people are being deliberately terrorized without mercy by dozens of #RuAF & Regime airstrikes.

    Now over 80 Russian and Assad air strikes AND still counting AND the West says nothing at all....just another day at the WH office it seems....

    Incendiary cluster munitions strikes now around the clock.......when used against a civilian population then it is basically a war crime....but Assad and Putin are assured by the US that will not happen as long as Obama is in the WH....

    The first photo is of a complete family that was killed in the heavy bombings from this morning.....parents and three children....caught in their bedroom seeking protection from the air strikes....

    FOR those around Obama and Kerry that have apparently never seen the face of genocide see the face of it in this photo of the mother trying to protect her children....

    The death of this family is a direct result of the so called Obama "do nothing stupid" Syrian FP.......

    WHEN Assad and Russian run out of excuses needed to deliberately target the killing of civilians...just "blame Mossad and others"....

    Russia claims Mossad, other foreign agents killed in Aleppo strike
    http://toi.sr/2cJDdFN

    APPEARS that the Russian have reached that ultimate "vodka high"...in their "parallel universe" called propaganda......

    So now both Assad and Putin just really want to go to war with anyone these days.......

    Citing ‘battlefield sources,’ state media says its warships bombed 30 officers from Israel, Qatar and Western countries

    According to the Arabic-language version of Russia’s Sputnik news agency, some “30 Israeli and Western officers” died when they were hit by three Kalibr cruise missiles fired by Russian warships in a “foreign officers’ coordination operations room” in western Aleppo, near Mount Simeon.

    In addition to the Mossad agents, the Russian report claimed, military officials from the United States, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Turkey — virtually every country hated by Iran, Syria and Russia — were killed in the strike, according to “battlefield sources.”
    The foreign officers were “directing the terrorists’ attacks in Aleppo and Idlib,” the Iranian Fars news reported, referring to the rebel groups that control the Syrian cities.


    I guess when you are losing the actual ground combat battles THEN anything to place the blame on others is a given ....

    THERE is a certain amount of frustration in this Russian propaganda piece...meaning it cannot be possible that the normal Syrian rebels on their own are beating the heck out of far superior Russian and Assad troops....there has to be another reason....a la....."western officers"....for the rebel successes.....

    SO the Assad regime knew the air strikes were coming.......

    More Aleppo bombing, aid makes it to Moadhamiyeh, & UN saying govt did not allow its staff on bombed convoy
    http://nyti.ms/2cG73sJ

    Rebels in Aleppo HAD warned the UN that bombing of the aid convoy was a distinct possibility...BUt UN pushed back and said nothing would happen.

    Aleppo: #Assad/#Russia|n airstrikes killed 43+ civilians & injured 100+ in #Aleppo City today, including many children

    Air strikes still continue.....

    Major problem with US strategy of prioritizing ceasefires for sake of ceasefires. Regime, Russia use them to regroup & then hit back harder.


    Aleppo: No breaking news or special broadcasts in Western media about the Assad & Putin massacres in Eastern Aleppo.

    Six-year old boy's letter to Obama re: Omran has 100x more internationalism, solidarity, compassion than entire global alt-left combined.

    AND that includes the entire Obama/Rhodes/Kerry WH and the 700 person NSC...

    Appears that the entire Obama/Rhodes/Kerry WH has become literally "speechless" after their latest round of failures in Syria.......

    Sources in besieged E #Aleppo confirm *at least* 81 people killed in overnight bombing by #Assad regime & #Russia

    150+ airstrikes reported
    .

    Cannot say they had any ideas anyway other than supporting Iran and Russia against the Syrian opposition.....

    They are succeeding in retaining Assad in his leadership position, they are destroying the anti Assad opposition, assisting successfully in establishing Iran as the regional hegemon and participating in genocide and war crimes against Sunni's...AND establishing massive Russian presence in the entire ME and basically abandoning all US allies in the ME in the name of the "ethnical FP strategy" called "doing nothing stupid".....

    Pity the next incoming US President

    As Putin and Assad continue their deliberate killing of civilians called normally "genocide" the Obama/Rhodes/Kerry WH keep on saying.......

    "there is no military solution"....BUT WAIT then they urgently need to answer WHY is it that Assad and Putin have a military solution and they are executing it......

    SO is the Obama WH basically "spinning" everyone AND actually allows the genocide to continue in the name of doing "absolutely nothing stupid"....

    The killing just keeps on as the entire West and the entire western MSM remains as quiet as a mouse out of fear they must at some point do and or say something....appears that the western values of humanity, humility and compassion truly no longer exist......

    Putin is definitely "winning the war of values"...as the West especially the Obama WH has lost theirs....

    Aleppo: #Syria|n mother tried to cover her child with her body, but both were killed by #Assad & #Russia|n airstrikes today

    GRAPHIC...but necessary to show the brutality of today's Russian and Assad air strikes on defenseless civilians....
