"Since when did they sign to defend a foreign nation?"

In 1879, thanks to Russia, which suffered over 200 000 losses, of which more than 66,000 killed in the bloody war with the Ottoman Empire, after 500 years outage is restored my country. My people today remember that. As a member of EU and NATO, my country is under tremendous pressure to be hostile to Russia, but the result is 15-20% bought, pro-Western rulers, against the 80-85% of people. During World War II, Hitler also tried to send our army against Russia, but failed. Our king paid with his life for this.  I hope that's enough on the question "Since when did they sign to defend a foreign nation?"

"It's not Russia's war."

As for "It's not Russia's war", also I do not agree. Russia cover  1/6 of the Earth's land surface. Its riches are unimaginable. Even assuming stupid argument that it is "gas station with nuclear missiles", it is completely normal to protect its wealth. History has proven that Europe is always with look  to the riches of Russia. European coalitions,  headed by Sweden, Poland, France or Germany, at various times have aspired to the riches of Russia. Accordingly, it is perfectly normal that Russia is trying to keep the fire away from its borders. If  was not exported to Syria the tension  provoked  by the US and Europe in Ukraine, God only knows what we would be witnessing today.


Thanks, duts_bg for reinforcing my impression that Bulgarians, the people are still remembering their history and have not succumbed to the duplicity that Bulgarians, the "elites", are trying to impose in your country.

I am strongly suspecting "Masha Sha" of trolling...

First and foremost, the Russian servicemen, who serve (and who died) in Syria are not doing it "for Assad". They are doing it against the Obama-regime-installed terrorists, who are fully-geared to move the battlefield into Russia proper. This was aptly demonstrated by the attack on Aktobe (formerly Aktubinsk) in the Northern Kazakhstan (Southern Russia before 1917) a month ago.

Let me put it this way. What would be better (a lesser evil) if 10 Russian soldiers died in Syria now or 1.000.000 Russian soldiers and civilians died in Russia in a few years' time fighting the out-of-control IS, with all the Southern Russia being in flames like Syria is now?


God bless you Nemo! Finally someone honest about the situation. I am not trolling but as soon as I hear a guy like Peter lavel or what ever is name on RT with his line: legitimate government of Syria... I don't even fulminate or feel insulted but just ask myself:is he really that arrogant.

Now what you express is a great understandable concern, who will effectively totally fall inline with the role and duty of Russians soldiers.

Sadly I see a problem in this argumentation: the belief that the Americans or the Saudis for the matter can control those groups. Simple answer they can't.

[snip]

Personally what I would like is to punish Assad and his supporters and all the civilians who profited from the Assad regime by flattening Damascus and lataque. I know it's not fair, but Tokyo wasn't fair nor dresde. Once all those are killed, everyone, give a few hours for all belligerent to surrender their weapons or face the same destiny.

To resume: more to lose in war US vs Russia than all the terrorists combine could do and Russian or American pride is unwelcome and UN or what ever is populated with the same people as Assad, Hillary and Corzine. I hope that American will stop once the lecturer is out to make their little pussies and idiots about a few square miles on western Russia and by recognizing Crimea and dombass as part of Russia will permit Russians to compromise equally or at leat faint to get the elimination of Damascus as city (no more minaret, flatten this shit altogether)!

Thanks for reading and your reply, I much appreciate it. It's always informative, refreshing and honest!

The thing is...

1. The Syrian government is legitimate in much the same way as (or even more than) the American government. Assad is a secular tolerant leader of his country who was elected to the post. Under his rule, until ISIS got imported, people of various religions lived in peace, the country enjoyed a high level of education and medical care.

2. Punish Assad for what exactly? How does he profit - by risking his life and sticking it out with his country, defending it from an invasion, and not running off, like some of the Western politicians would have done at the first tight of danger? Why should the Syrian Army surrender their weapons? To whom? The ISIS? To the Americans? Should have Russia, using your logic, also just surrendered to the Germans in 1941?

Should we not make the same demand of the Obama's money-profiteering, warmongering regime that his belligerents, who are now roaming Europe, dotting it with military bases, surrender or Washington gets erased from the face of the Earth?

Operation #Anakonda16 and NATO Summit in Poland: Direct Threat to Russia
https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2016/07/09/operation-anakonda-and-nato-summit-in-poland-direct-threat-to-russia/

Quote
Entitled Anakonda, in June 2016 the largest ever NATO military training exercise took place in Poland. NATO talking heads still lie about the ‘defensive nature of the alliance’ and that ‘BMD bases in Europe are directed against Iran and North Korea’ – claims that only the most naive or sold-out still take seriously. But in real terms NATO, US and EU have stopped pretending.

Anakonda-16 NATO exercises took place next to the Russian border and their theme was the war against Russia.

This is a video of the Anakonda military training exercise posted on the official NATO YouTube channel:

‘Poland flexes its military muscle during Exercise Anakonda 2016′ (Note that they actually pretend like Poland was the ‘leader’ and ‘mastermind’ of the whole thing.)

...

Happy smiles aside, the Polish NATO summit’s primary objectives are: how to militarize Europe, how to keep the alliance expanding and how to attack Russia. All this is thinly camouflaged with the talk of ‘Russian aggression.’

What Russian aggression?

So far, it’s been NATO that has been encroaching on Russian borders and threatening Russian security. The newly opened BMD base in Romania and the upcoming one in Poland, attempts to drag Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, dangerous provocations against Russian ships and planes in Black Sea, Mediterranean and Baltic by the American and NATO military… As one example, recently NATO jets deliberately came too close, surrounding in dangerous proximity the plane of the Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu and forcing Russian jets to intervene for protection.

Happy like a child who just received a new toy, Polish defence minister announced that one battalion ‘will be sufficient against Russia’ until the main NATO forces arrive to protect Poland against Russian aggression. The NATO Secretary General echoed by saying that NATO will protect ‘its eastern members against Russian aggression.’ Meanwhile across the big pond, US General Breedlove (and others just like him) is publicly professing the need to attack Russia.

The instigator and the driving force behind this conflict escalation is, as usual, the United States of America. Just to refresh everyone’s memory, let’s check where Russia is located relative to the Baltics, Black Sea and Mediterranean, and where US is situated relative to the same areas.

...



******NOTE: Both the article’s top map ‘Russia wants war: look how close they put their country to our military bases’ and this map of ‘US bases near Russia’ have been found on the internet. They both have one mistake: there never was a US military base in Kazakhstan. However, there was a US Manas military base near Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, which has been closed since 2014 after Kyrgyz government sent US packing. The rest of the info is accurate enough and provides the general understanding of the situation. Actually, in some areas there are more US bases than shown.******

...

As usual, do read the complete article and imagery included there. There is a lot more, that I didn't quote here.

For these actions, Putin's Russia seems to be developing a feeling of good will within certain countries which are outwardly hostile due to current political leadership prerogatives.  Specifically the United States.  There seems to be a correlation between this sense and those who support and surround Trump (including myself.)  Whether these feelings are misplace or not, and whether these feelings will translate into future mistakes, only time will tell.  In the here and now I think it safe to say that much of the world views Russia's actions as being the ethical, responsible, and proper thing to do in the current situation.

I really hope for the sake of the ordinary Americans, as well as the sake of all of humanity, that USA gets a leader, who is more interested in his country's well-being and who at the same time can curb the colonisational globalism of the corporate USA.


The Russians are dropping bombs in Raqqa, while the Americans are busy supplying TOW missiles to the Caliphate. The Russia's bravest are fighting the ISIS, so that the Islamic State cancer is prevented from spreading further. Had the Russians stayed away from the warzone, Aleppo and Baghdad would have come under the Caliphate by now.

RT: Islamic State militants have downed a military helicopter near Palmyra, Syria, killing two Russian pilots on board.

The most important detail, not shown on the video, is the weapon with which the ISIS terrorists shot down the helicopter and killed the Russian crew: an American Stinger handheld missile launcher.

According to Syrian minister of information, since May 2016 several dozen such Stingers were delivered to ISIS in Syria through Turkey. Now ISIS-Daesh has the capability of shooting down aircraft it previously could not.

You decide who and why supplies such weapons systems to Syrian terrorists!

A speed translation of the following analytical article by Rostislav Ishenko from the 7th of July 2016, which strikes at the heart of this topic.

https://cont.ws/post/313935

Why does NATO scare Moscow with "paper tigers"?

The NATO summit will begin in Warsaw on Friday. For two days (8 and 9 July), senior officials and generals will discuss a lot of technical and political issues. We are, however, interested in only one item on the agenda of the event. In Poland, the Alliance is going to once again discuss relief measures to the "Russian threat".

As is the custom in the recent years, the "threat" is felt particularly acutely by the Balts and Poles, who demand the deployment on their territories of additional contingents of Western European and American allies.

Washington and London pretend to be impressed by the fears of the limitrophes, and agitate for meeting requests for strengthening NATO forces on the Russian border. We are talking about dislocation of four battalions.

In terms of the real military strengthening of the block's abilities on the north-western borders of Russia, this gain is negligible. The American military analysts argue that even a dislocation in the region of four additional full brigades will not allow NATO to hold out much longer in the case of a real military conflict.

In fact, we are aonly talking about whether it will take the Russian troops one or two weeks to reach the Oder line. Or more precisely, how many US troops will need to be hastily evacuated from Poland and the Baltic states, if suddenly something goes wrong and, contrary to common sense, a military conflict in this area happens.

Protection Poles and the Baltic states as a diversionary tactics

So, the United States believes that the Russian group on the Baltic borders now has absolute superiority, which it is impossible to stop by unfolding of either four or sixteen battalions. At the same time, as a result of NATO's war hysteria of NATO, Russia decided to deploy in the western direction three new high-grade divisions, and another army corps in Kaliningrad.

One must say that Moscow has the potential to deploy new divisions faster than NATO would be able to collect and deliver their battalions to the area of the limitrophe's. That is, theoretically, by provoking a military confrontation, the US and NATO impair their strategic position in the region.


"If the Russians start pushing too hard, call us."

A question: Why do they scare Moscow with "paper tigers", if they know that as a result they will be worse off?

And, yes, they know it. Not least because Washington, which was initially swearing to deliver all four of the desired battalions by themselves, insisted on the separation of the burden in half - two battalions from the US and two from Western European allies. The Germans and the French (and who else would allocate the battalions, if not them) are not enthusiastic. And quite a lot of time will pass between the principal decision and the actual appearance of the troops.

Not only in Moscow, but also in European capitals they are well aware that in case of war, a battalion or two would not make a difference. European politicians, though sometimes pretending to be naive, are well aware that millions of Germans and French, who would be happily trying on helmets and flak jackets and rushing off to the eastern front to protect "European values" in the face of Latvians and Poles, is the story of fantasy. And yet the US successfully force through the NATO program of "protection" of small but very proud Eastern European allies, who regularly pull the tiger's whiskers, feeling drunken from their own boldness.

The answer to the question - why is it necessary - could be obtained based on the area of ​​concentration of the main Russian group. Except for the Kaliningrad exclave, which is under threat simply by virtue of its isolation, more than half of the newly formed units are concentrated in the south-west of Russia, near the Ukrainian border, on which Kiev has already thrown some tantrums.

On the eve of the NATO summit, a confirmation that Moscow considers the south-western direction as the most explosive is, was given in a statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergey Lavrov.

He warned our western friends and partners that, according to the available information, in the near future Kiev can organise  a large-scale provocation that could lead to the resumption of full-scale hostilities in the area of ​​the civil conflict in the Donbass.

Who needs new territories

Let us put two and two together, and add to this the undisguised (for the past two and a half years) desire of the USA to tie the hands of Russia by drawing it into a full-scale conflict in Ukraine. Let us not forget that it was the Balts and the Poles, who  repeatedly promised to provide military support to Kiev in case of a "Russian aggression".

Recall also that a number of border states - the Eastern European members of NATO - are having problems with the Ukrainian territories inhabited by their respective minorities and formerly being part of the these countries. In addition to traditional Poland, Hungary and Romania, even the Bulgarian government has expressed concerns about the protection of the rights of compatriots and supported the idea of ​​creation in Ukraine of a Bulgarian autonomy.

What do we get? The high risk of a sharp intensification of the Ukrainian conflict together with its simultaneous internationalization, with the participation of the Eastern European members of NATO. Of these, it is Poland and the Baltic States (exactly the countries that were promised the new battalions) are the most militantly set.

And now let us turn to history. In 1939, the courage of Warsaw, which rejected all German demands and literally longing for war, was backed by the British and French guarantees. Polish army was numerically comparable with the German. They did not yet know in Poland about the real overwhelming technical superiority of the Reich, and the absolute intellectual superiority of its general staff.

The military leaders of the country believed that they would be easily able to hold out for a few weeks or even a couple of months. Then the French would start an offensive: French army at the time was considered to be strongest in the world (wrongly, but no one knew about it), and with them would come the British. And after that the Poles were going to share the spoils of war, and to acquire new territories. By the way, the very same East Prussia, a third of which now comprises the Kaliningrad region.

Is a blockade of the Kaliningrad region possible

In general, to encourage Eastern European cannon fodder for the war, it was necessary to create an illusion of security and proximity to an easy victory.

In the first half of the twentieth century, this illusion was provided by the Anglo-French guarantee. Now simple NATO guarantees are not enough. Even limitrophe's became smarter and doubt that Americans (and Europeans) will risk of full-scale war with a nuclear power because of the ambitions of Riga and Warsaw. Now contingents of US and Western Europe in their respective territories should become such a guarantee.

Limitrophes believe that in the event of hostilities, these forces will inevitably fall under attack. That is, in actuality the bigger partners would enter a war automatically - through the fact of death of their soldiers.

And the passage of the internal procedures, required for each individual NATO country would become involved in the conflict as part of the block, would be fast tracked in the event of an attack by the "insidious Russia" on the "peaceful American soldiers".

This, in turn, means that the limitrophes, who had already long since gone over the brink in their Russophobia, will now completely lose their head from courageousness.

Very simple. In the event of a start of full-scale hostilities in Ukraine, it won't be a problem to once again accuse Russia of aggression. And then, in accordance to giving assistance to the "young democracy" they would not even need to cross the border. It is sufficient to organize a blockade of the Kaliningrad region.

Not only a blockade is a hostile act, which is equated by the international law with military aggression. Moscow will in any case  have to break through it. The region, Navy and the Army can not exist without communications with Big Land. And they can fully try to sink the ships and shoot down planes, which try to break the blockade, all the while crying that it was Russia attacking.

And then the limitrophes (just like the Poles in 1939) believe that in the face of the inevitable (in their opinion) American intervention, Russia would retreat.

By moving the Baltic pawn in the form of the four battalions (half of which is not theirs), the US is trying to solve a problem that they still didn't man resolved - creating an outbreak of the Russian-European military confrontation. While they themselves  are going to remain outside the conflict.

Firstly, no one knows when more battalions will arrive. Secondly, it is a lot easier to promptly evacuate a couple of battalions, than it was for the British to evacuate nearly 340 thousand of their own, French and Belgian soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940.

So that the risk of conflict comes not from the battalions incapable of anything, but from the minds of inadequate politicians that learn nothing from history.

Crimes against Humanity: Ukraine President Poroshenko Keeps his Word: “We’ve Bombed the Schools”, Donbass Children Don’t go to School

This article by investigative reporter Olga Luzanova provides photographic and video evidence of the impacts of Kiev regime bombings directed against residential areas and schools in Donbass.

Civilians have been deliberately targeted.  

These war crimes have  been ignored by the mainstream media. They been not been acknowledged by  the UN Human Rights Commission.

The fundamental rights of children have been blatantly violated by the US sponsored Kiev regime in derogation of international law.

We recall that last October, President Petro Poroshenko contrasted the prospects for Ukrainians with those of the people from the Donbass region during a speech in Odessa. In particular, the President promised:

    “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens, while theirs will be holed up in basements!”

Thus far, the Ukrainian government has been doing its best to keep its word. Here is one of the children sitting in a basement in accordance with the Ukrainian President’s will.

Ukraine takes another step toward Nazism.

Today Poroshenko approved the new distinguishing markings for the military ranks, which will replace stars. Stars are, according to the Ukrainian law a mark of Communism, with the memory and achievements of which they are fighting. Never mind that the stars as distinctions were used by most of the world powers, including the Russian Empire.

The stars will be replaced by rhombus, which were used as a marking of the UPA Nazi collaborationist battalions in WWII:

I spent a week in Belorussia a month ago. In Minsk and surroundings. A clean, orderly, friendly place. People are open and can often come with some critical remarks (saying more as a Russian to a Russian, than they would probably say to a Westerner). It's been a long time since I felt as safe as I did there. You can walk the streets of Misnk by night. The streets are clean, the roads are in tip-top shape. Shops are filled with food. Construction activity is visible in many place (Minsk is building the third Metro line, btw).

It became known that terrorists from the Crime-Tatar Battalion of Chelebedjukhan attempted to conduct a terrorist act in the Kerch strait. Isljamov (US-sponsored Crimea-Tatar "activist", who took part in "food blockade" of Crimea) initiated the act, and bought for the terrorists an old fishing boat.

They were going to let 60 steel cables á 20m each float just below the surface, with the aim of damaging the propellers of the ferries that cross the strait and sabotaging the holiday season.

Luckily Isljamov bought too cheap a vessel, which got a motor stop en route from Azov sea and had to be rescued by Russian border patrol.

http://svpressa.ru/politic/article/151467/

One of the terrorists, Abjazimov, was questioned. He gave over video records and details. He's been released from criminal persecution following article 208, which gives amnesty to members of the terrorist organisations, who voluntarily give themselves up, and have not committed any other crime.

US destroyer gets dangerously close to Russian patrol boat in Mediterranean – Moscow
https://www.rt.com/news/348677-destroyer-patrol-boat-mediterranean/

Quote
The US guided-missile destroyer Gravely breached international navigation safety rules by coming within dangerous proximity of the Yaroslav Mudry, a Russian frigate, in the eastern Mediterranean, the Russian Defense Ministry has said.

The USS Gravely approached the Yaroslav Mudry, a Russian frigate, on June 17, passing across her course at a “dangerous” distance of 180 meters (55ft), the Defense Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

The encounter occurred in international waters. The Yaroslav Mudry did not deviate from her course and refrained from engaging in dangerous maneuvering with the US warship, the ministry added.

According to the statement, the warship’s captain and crew violated the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), which govern the conduct of two or more vessels when they meet at sea in order to prevent dangerous situations.

“The US sailors, in particular, neglected Rule 13, which stipulates that an overtaking vessel must keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken,” the Defense Ministry said. It added that the USS Gravely had also violated Rule 15, which says that a vessel that has another vessel on the starboard side must yield and avoid crossing ahead of her.

The ministry also said the Pentagon should take note of such incidents rather than accuse the Russian Air Force and Navy of unprofessional conduct. “US sailors allow themselves to neglect key foundations of navigation safety without thinking of the consequences that dangerous maneuvering in a heavily trafficked maritime area might involve.”

Here's a thought: Syrians were so fed up with Assad that may they just decided enough was enough and rose up to overthrow him. Maybe, just maybe, it had nothing to do with America or other superpowers - there have been many similar uprisings in the past. If you treat people like crap, eventually they will have enough and challenge you back. Clinton may have said this, it doesn't mean she knows what she's talking about.

5. REFERENDUMS GALORE coming up! The new GLOBAL TREND has shaped up in front of our eyes, began by the Crimean March 2014 referendum to secede from Ukraine. When politicians and elites refuse to listen to their people, people will take power into their own hands and show their strength through direct democracy.

6. The positive effects of the rising REFERENDUM TREND is that of the direct democracy and people’s empowerment. People will begin recalling that they do hold real power.

Another positive effect will be in favor of the long-suffering people of Russia and what is so far called Ukraine (the future Novorossia, plus possibly also Carpatian Rus and Kiev Rus, depending on how finalized divisions will be made).

The effect is this: after having their own referendums and the change in the rotten political system of the EU, Europeans will finally recognize the Crimean and Donbass referendums and they will finally stop harassing Russia! The voices to recognize Crimean referendum are already sounding from the saner EU politicians, and eventually it will become a norm.

Recall my prediction that Ukraine (under another name, or names) will turn back to Russia by 2018.  All this will be happening simultaneously: along with an avalanche or referendums and EU revolts and the turn of Ukraine towards Russia, not only Crimea will be recognized officially as a part of Russia by the West. Along with DNR/LNR 2014 referendums, the forgotten referendums in Pridnestrovie – Transnistria (to join Russia), as well as in Abkhazia and S. Ossetia will also be recognized. This may take a few years though.

Very few in the West know, but the USSR had the famous 1991 referendum, the information about which was buried. In that referendum the majority of the former Soviet republics voted to preserve the USSR. Just imagine what happens when the real results are made public or the 1991 referendum is repeated!

The interesting thing is that even the former Baltic republics that are considered anti-Russian (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) may surprise us, should their people are ever allowed to have their own opinion. So far the regimes there suppress the voice of the people, aided by the US tanks. And this is why Estonia and Latvia deny the right to vote to their Russian-speaking population. What will happen when millions of the so-called ‘non-citizens’ are actually allowed to vote? One thing for sure: US tanks will have to leave in a hurry…

In fact, people everywhere will be emboldened to conduct referendums on issues of importance. Some Balkans/ex-Yugoslavia mini-states, which have been artificially divided, may decide as a result of their referendums to get back together. Specifically these are: Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia.

I also foresee a new tight union (economic, political and more) eventually forming between the Balkans countries, including some of former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Greece – and Russia/Eurasian Union.

I am very curious to see what happens to Turkey after the Kurds get together and organize their referendum.

These are just some of the examples. In general, we are present during The GREAT EARTH SHIFT. The old systems, be it political, social or spiritual are falling off and the new are emerging. The new countries, new borders and new unions will emerge and strengthen, while the old will either diminish or disappear altogether.

I give NATO a few more years before it is disbanded.

While Europe discusses Brexit and how it will affect everyone, Ukraine is wanting in:

Rada deputy Gopko said: "Britain is exiting, Ukraine is entering. To save Europe as a continent. Berlin must act swiftly: having lost Britain, EU must acquire Ukraine." Se also said that "The world is changing. If we don't consolidate, we (Ukraine) will be forgotten."

Meanwhile in the East, Ukraine continues shelling civilians.



Two civilians (a man and a woman) are wounded during tonight's shelling of Gorlovka by the Ukrainian forces:

In all Ukrainians 289 shells of 82mm and 120mm calibre. They were using mortars, guided anti-tank rockets, APC cannons and small arms.

Meanwhile, DNR's army intelligence reports that there are more frequent cases of shooting between Ukrainian forces and the assorted Nazi battalions:

They also report that Ukros often move out into the pockets of the front-line (which is not a strait line) and shoot as if fire is coming from DNR (creating provoctions)
