War in Syria

According to the Russian Senator Igor Morozov, Beijing has taken decision to take part in combating IS and sent its vessels to the Syrian coast.

 

Igor Morozov, member of the Russian Federation Committee on International Affairs claimed about the beginning of the military operation by China against the IS terrorists. "It is known, that China has joined our military operation in Syria, the Chinese cruiser has already entered the Mediterranean, aircraft carrier follows it," Morozov said.

 

According to him, Iran may soon join the operation carried out by Russia against the IS terrorists, via Hezbollah. Thus, the Russian coalition in the region gains ground, and most reasonable step of the US would be to join it. Although the stance of Moscow and Washington on the ways of settlement of the Syrian conflict differs, nonetheless, low efficiency of the US coalition acts against terrorists is obvious. Islamists have just strengthened their positions.

 

As Leonid Krutakov told Pravda.Ru in an interview, the most serious conflict is currently taking place namely between China and the US. Moscow may support any party, the expert believes, and that is what will change the world order for many years.

Jisr al-Choughour has been the site of ongoing bombing and fighting in Syria, which has been engulfed in civil war for four years. As of 2011, there were about 40,000 people living in the city, though many have since fled. In April, Syrian rebel groups seized control of the city from the government of President Bashar al-Assad, though as the video report shows, nearly all of it has been destroyed. Since war broke out between Assad and opposition groups in 2011, more than 200,000 people have been killed.

VR is a cutting edge technology we have been working on for years. Much of it has been used by the military, but it will soon be present and used by the media in reporting world news - the real news - as it happens.

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to assuage Israel’s fears of potential Iranian and Syrian aggression, during talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday that also addressed concerns over Russia’s military buildup in Syria.

The two leaders agreed on ways to prevent an unintended confrontation between Israel’s military and Russian forces deployed in Syria, Netanyahu told Israeli reporters after the talks, the Haaretz daily reported.

Netanyahu told Putin that Russia needed to know that Israel would take action to prevent these weapons transfers and thus it was important to make sure there were no misunderstandings between their military forces.

During the talks, they agreed on such a mechanism, the Haaretz report said. “It’s enough to imagine the alternative — a dangerous confrontation with Russia, and dealing with these misunderstandings after the fact — to understand the importance of this visit,” the Israeli newspaper quoted Netanyahu as saying.

comment: There is a pattern here of Russia becoming the good guy in the fight against Isis as opposed to U.S. acting with indecision and complacency from when Isis was first formed to topple the government in Syria. This is a strategy gone wrong and if Russia is successful at all and starts appearing as the strong and  acting nation, there will be a great loss of credibility for the U.S.

Although I have listened to tirades against the current administration foreign policy, it really isn't appropriate to launch any personal vendettas against any single person or branch of government.

A weak and less than effective response to Russia's continuing ambitions to expand its territory and influence is creating a growing threat to the Baltic States and other areas. The same general policies can be seen in dealing with China, who continues to increase its presence and control in the South China Sea. They have now  set up a military base on an island they have taken, and now guard the air space over.

It is time  for some of the people in power in Washington to wake up and smell the international coffee and get more  involved  in the Syria conflict, instead of just watching  Russia gain more influence and power in the Middle East.

When the situation in the Ukraine became more serious, the contingency plan for a possible U.S. / Military conflict was reviewed and updated for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

CWN - Crystal World News in brief - It is possible there could be a military conflict which would result in an exchange of gunfire or missiles in Syria between the U.S. and Russia. Any progress gained by the intervention of Russian troops in the war against Isis would be a massive win in control of an area in the middle east the U.S. won for the last 70 years. While this has become a verbal battleground for the candidates for the presidential race in 2016 in the U.S., the real life event are unfolding rapidly. It is sad to see history unfold before our eyes and to lose so much so many have died for so quickly - our credibility and respect in the free and not free world.

comment: Russian ground troops are now in Syria

In depth analysis of the current situation as of yesterday in the Middle East. No doubt, we are on the verge of some type of military confrontation in Syria. Russia is back and with chilling reminders of the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis- actions speak louder than words - or even an absence of them. The delicate balance between the Sunni and Shiite

holds the future of not only the future of the Middle East but Europe in the balance.

A highly volatile balance of power which now is pulling the U.S. and world into a conflict that has gone on for thousands of years.- Medclinician CWN
