Russian Paranoia over Syria at all time high

So worried is Putin that he has threatened to send special troops to Damascus should circumstances dictate .
Clearly this is nonsense , but it does show -----as did the Veto used by Russia last night for " Basher" to stand down --- how threatened they are , thanks to Putin's narrow isolationist foreign policy ( is he the stupidest strategist they have recently had ? ).
This puts matters in their full context , not in terms of per capita , but in real terms .


The Tartus “naval base,” with two floating piers, one maintenance ship and a small contingent of noncombat personnel, is a vestige of a lost empire, a matter of prestige with zero military significance. Arms trade is more important: In 2010, Syria imported some $700 million worth of weapons and wants more. Russian investment by state-connected corporations into the Syrian economy (most notably the natural gas sector) is estimated at some $20 billion. Without al-Assad, billions may be lost in arms deals and Russian investment would be at risk (Kommersant, February 1).

Since the Cold War, Russia maintains a high-level troop of military advisers in Syria. Russian military intelligence has an important foothold in a volatile region. If Sunni Muslim extremists Russia traditionally dislikes and distrusts take over Assad’s minority Alawite-sect secular-orientated government, Russia’s military and intelligence services would lose valuable assets.

Still, Russian support for the Syrian regime is predominately internal in nature, as is the constant recall of the Libyan example.
The West went after Slobodan Milosevic, Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi. They are all dead. The West will dispatch al-Assad, they will come for us, Russia’s chief justice (chairman of the Constitutional Court), Valery Zhorkin, wrote last week. The West promotes opposition movements and destroys the principle of equal sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs by humanitarian interventions. The West is promoting a malicious pro-democracy mass movement in Russia to have a pretext to intervene and destroy our nation, writes Zhorkin (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, January 26).

Russian national interests and assets at risk in Syria do not seem to validate a steadfast stand to defend a doomed butcher, disregarding international and Arab opinion. In fact, Putin and the Russian corrupt top elite are defending not al-Assad, but themselves.

 

The West is dying and is no threat to Russia.

 

You got it partly right , Bertie , so you must try harder .
Russia is in danger of being torn into pieces and if they are not very decisive and far sighted ,major parts of Europe could also soon find themselves in troubles which will last at lest a generation .

 

As it's usual for Ray the special voices whispered in his ears this special revelation. Where is confirmation of your news, Ray?

 

Don't tell me that you were not allowed to have this information !!
All news agencies reported Lavrov telling the world that Spetsnaz GRU troops were on ready alert with a view to shipping them out to Damascus .
It is known as Sabre rattling , Evil.
I see Lavrov had a miserable time in Damascus . Nothing resulted except that the Spetsnaz are presumably no longer on ready alert .
The Russians have backed themselves into a nasty corner .The Internet could further ruin Putin's election chances by painting him in a very poor light .

 

It's you say without proof, not me. Because you created this thread.
So where is proof what about Mr. Lavrov said about Syria, and his words about Russian
GRU commandos. Prove it ,Ray .Otherwise your thread ,Ray looks like gibberish from yours mind. Ray ,just point out your source.

 

Nothing like a gibberish thread to suit the Jabber Wockers who come here .
And if you sleep easier tonight thinking that Peasant Sergei did not say that, so be it . I shall not lose any sleep either .
Even though he did say it .

 

Russia has nothing to fear from America's Monkey King.

 

Piece of cake. Turkey wants the Russians to slowly leak their immense weapon supplies on Afghanistan and Syria. Turkey can sit back and watch for another thousand years. The question is "Can the US?"

 

By sheer chance this cropped up within a minute of my last Post --- part of a Israeli report , monitored no doubt by MOSSAD .One of several dozen I receive daily which is why I am not spending huge time on searching back numbers from across may be twenty sources just to keep a virtual reality guy happy .




Russians backed their hard line against the West by putting Rapid Reaction Force (aka Spetsnaz) units in Black Sea bases on the ready to set out for Syria and defend Damascus.( Such orders could have only come direct from Putin , Lavrov or Makarov . And the system demands that Putin must be aware of the decision ) A Cold War dimension has been injected into the Syrian crisis, which is fast descending into a sectarian war between Syria's ruling Alawites (Shiites) and the majority Sunnis. The regional dimension is provided by pitting Iran and Syria against Turkey and the Gulf Arabs.
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's earlier announcement that he would visit Damascus next Tuesday, Feb 7, with Russian Foreign Intelligence Service chief Mikhail Fradkov was meant to buy Bashar Assad another three days' grace to polish off the opposition before a possible UN-ordered ceasefire.
However, the US and Western powers refused to wait for further Syrian excesses to take place after various sources reported earlier Saturday that Syrian troops had shelled the Homs district of Khaldiyeh, killing an estimated 350 people there and injuring some 1,500, in the worst military bombardment of nearly 11-month-old uprising,.
Syrian government officials denied the charge accusing "gunmen" of killing civilians.
Intelligence sources note that Moscow's gesture to send the Russian foreign intelligence chief to Damascus alongside the foreign minister is supported additionally by the presence in the Syrian port of Tartus of Russia's only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov with two destroyers and a marine force.
Aside from a few Turkish brigades strung out along the Syrian border, the West maintains no troops on in the vicinity of Syria since the American military withdrew from Iraq last December.

 

The Alawaites are forcing the Sunnis to ethnically cleanse them.

 

So what you are telling us is that they have discovered and developed ways of turning an enemy into a Zombie -- without free will and the power to make choices .
The US will be most interested in that ,
as they have been officially working on that very route for the last thirty years . Get hold of John Ronson's book which details all of this in chapter after chapter of almost impossible to believe reporting . The book is, '" The men who stare at Goats"
It covers the subjects of making oneself invisible ( see Aurora project) and walking through walls based on mind control .
I tell you in all seriousness that the first person in charge of this part of US Military Intelligence in 1981-4 was Major General Albert Stubblebine the Third .
Who needs fiction when you have the US Military ?
