Russia is up and flying and throwing bombs

Meanwhile... Saudi Arabia silently kills UN war crimes probe in Yemen: While Washington remains eerily quiet. Ethnic cleansing anyone?

Sense would state that all govts are in on it given the UN's response. NOW, let's watch the anti-conspiracy brigade sit with their thumbs up their arses with ner a single peep

Also an interesting little read: http://www.sott.net/article/303320-I...strategic-move Note the Picture of the day cartoon - truth there perhaps?

This claim (by Putin??) will be interesting to follow up on:http://www.sott.net/article/303319-R...gs-in-72-hours

It is well known they are masters of industrial espionage and now sabotage via stuxnet. What one country wasn't fingered by wikileaks?????
Yes they produce a lot, on land illegally stolen and occupied from the Palestinians and using water they would not otherwise have access too.
Their exports are decling though as people boycott their major brands like sodastream and Motorola...
Just wait til the USA collapses and the billions in defence subsidies disappears....

You may want to actually find out who it was that Israel "stole" the west bank from, hint it certainly wasn't Palestine it was actually taken from Jordan. Jordan stole the land from Palestine in 1949.
Up until 1994 Jordan was at war with Israel it wasn't until 1988 that Jordan renounced its claims to the West Bank.

... stuxnet.

Well done. You are up to date with 8yr old technology.
Try, Duqu, Flame, etc.

Stux had a target, which it went for and destroyed (without killing people). It succeded.
Would you prefer airstrikes?

From Mike Whitney

“A senior member of Russia’s parliament says an ongoing air campaign by Moscow against militants operating in Syria is going to intensify. Alexei Pushkov, who serves as the chairman of the Committee for International Affairs at the Russian State Duma, said Friday that Moscow will be intensifying its attacks against the militants in Syria while studying the risks associated with an extensive operation.
“There is always a risk of being bogged down, but in Moscow, we are talking about an operation of three to four months,” Alexei Pushkov said, Reuters reported.
Russia started to launch coordinated airstrikes on the positions of militants in Syria on Wednesday. The move came shortly after members of the Russian upper house of the parliament, the Federation Council, authorized the operations in Syria.”

There’s not going to be any pussyfooting around. Putin’s going to go straight for the jugular and then head for the exits.


Do you think they’ve figured this out at the White House yet? Do you think they understand that Iranian troops and Hezbollah are not going to distinguish between the “moderate” terrorists and the “extreme” terrorists; that they’re simply going to “kill them all and let God sort it out”.....

The recent American failure to train and equip anti-Assad forces in Syria is not an isolated incident. It is a symptom of a systemic problem. This article, which recently appeared in the Russian press, explains why

The scandal around the “30th Divison,” which was prepared by American trainers for war against Assad, and which immediately surrendered to the Islamist An-Nusra Front as soon as it crossed the border from Turkey, is now resounding around the entire planet. There will be many such scandals. They have been predetermined by the methodology of American training of “allies”—in Syria, in Georgia and in the Ukraine.

Let's recall that as a result An-Nusra Front (a branch Al-Qaeda) received weapons, equipment and a few pickup trucks from the USA. The commander of the "30th Division" assured representatives of the Front that he fooled the American military in order to get weapons. The problems which caused this to happen can be split into three uneven categories..............................

Commenting that it was a "tin pot little country" certainly makes it sound like some backwards country that achieves nothing of note? Perhaps calling it a technological power-house which exports substantial amounts, well over any amount that a population of that size would normally be expected to, would be more appropriate?

Emphasis was about the relative size and population of the country and it's constant world wide financial/military backing - especially the USA!

This report says something like what I meant : http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/10/...-and-violence/

I'm just sick and tired of America's arrogance in appointing itself in charge of everybody! that it alone has the right to decide that it can send it's troops to any other country to 'intervene' to help them, whether they asked for help or not, and it alone has the righteousness to judge if any other country should dare take similar actions if they were right or wrong.

For once I'm behind Russia and hope they swoop in, clean up ISIS in a matter of weeks. Then sit back, pour themselves a well deserved vodka and ask the west, what was so hard about that? You guys farted around for years trying to clean up that mess. That's how we Ruskies take care of business.

The irony that Obama is criticising Russia's bombing questionable targets when the next day the Yanks accidentally bomb a hospital run by a worldwide charity. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
