Putin takes charge, orders Russian troops to Syria after Obama’s plan flops

[SassyIrishLass]

Syria is an extremely valued CUSTOMER of Russia / Putin, buying extremely large amounts of weapons. It is, thus, an ally.

Obama tried the miserably failed and embarrassing 'Red Line' strategy. He then tried to arm 'rebels'...and they became ISIS and took over mu ch of the country the US military had liberated at great cost. He then swore no 'boots on the ground' and began training / arming more rebels.

Putin is showing what must be done to defend or take control of an objective. You have to put 'boots on the ground'.

If you are not ready to FULLY commit your effort / military to achieving an objective then you REALLY must not be THAT interested in it in the 1st place. If that is the case, then DON'T stick your d@mn TOE in the WATER...because that 'TOE' is the men and women in the military, and you're going to get them killed by people who ARE serious about achieving that objective and who ARE more than ready and willing to kill your troops.

Russia covets the port of Tartus, deep and warm water

Russia covets the port of Tartus, deep and warm water

Oh definitely....one of the 'perks' of having such a convenient 'ally / customer'.

 

[eagle1462010]

The port can't handle Russia's capital ships. Too small.............but it is a resupply point even if they have to anchor first.

Russian naval facility in Tartus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tartus facility can accommodate four medium-sized vessels only if both of its 100 meter long floating piers located on the inside of the northern breakwater were operational. It is not capable of hosting any of the Russian Navy's current major warships which range in length from the 129 meter Neustrashimyy frigatethrough the 163 meter Udaloy destroyer, and much less cruisers such as the 186.4 meter Slava class, the 252 meter Kirov class, and the 305 meter Kuznetsov class.


It is a small port with limited capabilities............

[paulitician]

Russia and Iran warned us not to intervene in the Syrian Civil War. They knew who the rebel groups were. But of course we didn't listen. We funded, armed, and trained groups that became ISIS. Now Russia and Iran will have to clean up our awful mess. They're gonna annihilate all rebel groups there. It has to be done.

The Secret Stupid Saudi-US Deal on Syria. Oil Gas Pipeline War

The details are emerging of a new secret and quite stupid Saudi-US deal on Syria and the so-called IS. It involves oil and gas control of the entire region and the weakening of Russia and Iran by Saudi Arabian flooding the world market with cheap oil. Details were concluded in the September meeting by US Secretary of State John Kerry and the Saudi King. The unintended consequence will be to push Russia even faster to turn east to China and Eurasia.

One of the weirdest anomalies of the recent NATO bombing campaign, allegedly against the ISIS or IS or ISIL or Daash, depending on your preference, is the fact that with major war raging in the world’s richest oil region, the price of crude oil has been dropping, dramatically so. Since June when ISIS suddenly captured the oil-rich region of Iraq around Mosul and Kirkuk, the benchmark Brent price of crude oil dropped some 20% from $112 to about $88. World daily demand for oil has not dropped by 20% however. China oil demand has not fallen 20% nor has US domestic shale oil stock risen by 21%.

The US-Saudi oil price manipulation is aimed at destabilizing several strong opponents of US globalist policies. Targets include Iran and Syria, both allies of Russia in opposing a US sole Superpower. The principal target, however, is Putin’s Russia, the single greatest threat today to that Superpower hegemony. The strategy is similar to what the US did with Saudi Arabia in 1986 when they flooded the world with Saudi oil, collapsing the price to below $10 a barrel and destroying the economy of then-Soviet ally, Saddam Hussein in Iraq and, ultimately, of the Soviet economy, paving the way for the fall of the Soviet Union. Today, the hope is that a collapse of Russian oil revenues, combined with select pin-prick sanctions designed by the US Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence will dramatically weaken Putin’s enormous domestic support and create conditions for his ultimate overthrow. It is doomed to fail for many reasons, not the least, because Putin’s Russia has taken major strategic steps together with China and other nations to lessen its dependence on the West. In fact the oil weapon is accelerating recent Russian moves to focus its economic power on national interests and lessen dependence on the Dollar system. If the dollar ceases being the currency of world trade, especially oil trade, the US Treasury faces financial catastrophe. For this reason, I call the Kerry-Abdullah oil war a very stupid tactic.

ISIS is a U.S., Saudi, British Intelligence creation. Everyone except Americans knows that. They're still buying into the American Government/Corporate Media lies on Syria.

ISIS didn't just magically appear with all that cash and weapons. It was provided for them. All you have to do is follow the money and motives. Who wanted Assad dead? There's your answer.

 

[eagle1462010]

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United States want a pipeline through the region to Europe. So the Saudi's can supply Europe with oil instead of Russia. They need Assad out, and a friendly leader in to do this.............so they can ship oil to Europe direct and cut off Russia supplying the oil to Europe. This is about big business and the sale of Oil.

Russia has openly challenged OPEC, and wants off the Petro dollar. That is why BRICS was formed, and they have threatened to cut off oil supply to Europe. The pipeline would give Europe an out and cost Russia BIG TIME...................The problem is that Syria is allied to Russia, and they'd never allow it without ticking off Russia.

 

[eagle1462010]

The competition......................Iran, Iraq, Syria and Russia alliance wanting a pipeline as well.

Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline (called the Friendship Pipeline by the governments involved and the Islamic gas pipeline by some Western sources[2]) is a proposed natural gas pipeline running from the Iranian South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field field towards Europe via Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon to supply European customers as well as Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.[1] The pipeline was planned to be 3,480 miles long and have a diameter of 56 inches.[1] A previous proposal, known as thePersian Pipeline, had seen a route from Iran's South Pars to Europe via Turkey; it was apparently abandoned after the Swiss energy company Elektrizitätsgesellschaft Laufenburg halted its contract with Iran in October 2010 in the face of pressure over US sanctions against Iran.[3][4]

Iraq signed an agreement with Iran in June 2013 to receive natural gas to fuel Iraqi power plants in Baghdad and Diyala. The contract covers 1.4 Bcf/d over 10 years. Iran's plans to export 176 MMscf/d of gas to Iraq by 2015.[5]



It's about competition on the European markets and who controls them. Iran, Iraq, Syia and Russia on one side of the equation, and Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United States on the other.

 

[paulitician]

Americans seem to be the only ones left on earth who don't know the U.S. helped create ISIS in Syria. It was created to kill Assad. I hope Russia and Iran can clean up our awful mess over there.

I understand that Libya was about the Petro Dollar, as they wanted to go to gold on their sale of oil. Also they used Libya to proxy weapons into Syria. It is known that the weapons ended up in the wrong hands as well.

Under Reagan, they tried Reagan via Ollie North for the weapons for American hostages which is far less than what has been happening under the current administration.

Finally, the powers to be in the world are at odds and the gas prices we see today are a direct result of the West versus the East on Oil sales and the Dollar as the Worlds reserve currency.

Russia is responding with troops to protect their oil markets with Europe, and we are involved to get Saudi Oil to Europe in direct conflict with Russia.

It's always about the money. The Western Globalist Elites now control Liby'a entire banking system and oil. The same was done in Iraq. And that's what they have planned for Syria. However, it looks like Russia may have a problem with that. Looks like it's gonna annihilate all rebel groups in Syria.

Vladimir Putin views the Syrian army and its Iranian allies as incapable of defeating the Islamic State in Syria, prompting the Russian president to directly intervene in recent weeks by setting up an air base and sending in tanks, artillery and jet fighters, a report to Congress says.

Mr. Putin’s bold yet risky move of putting troops on the ground directly confronting a terrorist group contrasts sharply with the Obama administration’s strategy of an air campaign over Syria but little other military action in that country.


The Islamic State controls wide sections of territory in Iraq and in Syria, where it has proclaimed a capital of Raqqa in Syria’s east.

Putin eats Obama's lunch again and again. He has violated the Ukraine cease fire repeatedly with virtually no repercussions. He is moving arms and trioops into Syria with impunity, and will establish a zone of influence cutting out the US. He consistently out maneuvers Obama, who is simply hapless.

It's a real mess. Supporting the rebels in Syria led to the creation of ISIS. Russia and Iran warned us not to intervene. But of course we didn't listen.

1. I'm for allowing the Russians to kill ISIS. Let them bleed for their interests in the region. It saves us money and lost lives.
2. I've stated repeatedly that Assad with Russian Support is the lesser of evils in regards to the Genocide being conducted in that cursed desert.
3. ISIS would have been created with or without our support because it is a Sunni versus Shiite Holy War that has gone on forever.
4. The strategy for removal for Assad is about selling oil to Europe.
5. Iran, Iraq.........Shiites are allied to Russia, as we have lost Iraq to Russian support, are about Shiite dominance in the region. For Russia it is to block Saudi Oil
to Europe via pipeline. It is also about arms sales to Iran, Iraq, and Syria....................
6. We in debt up to our asses. If we lose the Dollar as the global currency we are fucked.
7. Europe wants the pipeline from Saudi Arabia to stop Russia from black mailing them with shutting off the oil.
8. Putin wants a return to the status of USSR............
9. Super tankers can still supply the gas and oil to Europe, just at a higher cost.
10. Iran is still a State Sponsor of Terror, and is our enemy irregardless of this. Russia supports them because they want dominance in the region instead of the West.

When Bibbi stated this is a GAME OF THRONES for dominance in the region...........he was spot on...........Shiites for dominance.........Sunni's for dominance.............Saudi Arabia for sale of oil...........United States for protecting the Petro Dollar.................Russia for arms sale and attacking the Petro Dollar................and so on...................................

In a nut shell.................it's a CAGE MATCH.........with many countries throwing clubs and weapons into the arena.
