ISIS Update 9142015.. Cavalry Is Coming
Russia says arms supplies for Syria aim to help Damascus fight Daesh terrorists
Lavrov: US knows ISIS positions, refuses to bomb
September 13th, 2015 – Pnp.ru – translated for Fort Russ by Joaquin Flores -
“Lavrov: Russia has information that the US knows the position of the IS, but does not bomb them”
Russia has information that the US know the specific location points of the “Islamic State” (extremist organization banned in Russia), but did not give an order to strike on the positions “of the IS,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
In the program “Sunday times” on “Channel 1″ Lavrov said that the US government “was not originally very careful in creating a coalition, or conspired towards goals that were not the declared ones.”
According to the foreign minister, the coalition was created spontaneously, “within just a few days it was announced that it includes a number of countries and then begun strikes.”
Lavrov said that the analysis of aviation operations in countries included in the coalition, “creates a strange impression,” – as if in addition to fighting “the IS” “there is something else which is a concern of the coalition.”
The minister said: “I hope not to disappoint anyone in saying that some of our colleagues from the incoming coalition of countries have information on where exactly and on what positions are “IS” or other subdivisions, and the commander of the coalition (the United States ) does not give consent to striking them.
Russia positioning tanks at Syria airfield: U.S. officialsWASHINGTON | By Phil Stewart
Russia has positioned about a half dozen tanks at an airfield at the center of a military buildup in Syria, two U.S. officials said on Monday, adding that the intentions of Moscow’s latest deployment of heavy military equipment were unclear.
Moscow has come under increased international pressure in recent days to explain its moves in Syria, where the Kremlin has been supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a 4-1/2-year war.
The Pentagon declined to directly comment on the Reuters report, saying it could not discuss U.S. intelligence. But a spokesman said recent actions by Moscow suggested plans to establish a forward air operating base.
“We have seen movement of people and things that would indicate that they plan to use that base there, south of Latakia, as a forward air operating base,” Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told a news briefing.
One of the U.S. officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said seven Russian T-90 tanks had been observed at the airfield near Latakia, an Assad stronghold.
Syria: The (Russian Air) Cavalry Is Coming
In light of the catastrophic outcome of the “western” war on Libya the Russian government declared to oppose any further such “regime change” in the Middle East. But the U.S. continues to train, arm and finance insurgents against the Syrian Arab Republic and, under the disguise of fighting the Islamic State, prepares to take down the Syrian government. Eliminating the Syrian government would likely create a radical jihadist state in Damascus and lead to massacres and mass refugee movements.
But Russia means what it says and will now use its military capabilities to confront the U.S. plans:
Elijah J. Magnier
#Russia is providing #Syria with precision military and destructive equipment. #Russia will start soon operating n #Syria sky to hit rebels+
The participation of the #Russian Air Force in #Syria worries #Israel that won’;t be able to have a free sky to hit Syrian troops.+
This is THE major change in #Russia approach and support to #Damascus regime, to prevent game change on the ground in #Syria +
The decision of #Russia comes mainly from regional support 2rebels, not satisfy w/ d north f #Syria (#Idlib) and aiming to #Hama & #Damascus
Russian air-support for Syria against the various forces attacking the state will allow for additional air attacks against those forces. The Syrian air force is today already flying more than 100 sorties per day against it enemies. The Russian forces will add to that but not necessarily in a decisive amount.
The main support for Syria by Russian air assets will come by keeping away those foreign air forces forces that threaten the Syrian government under disguise of “fighting terror”. With Russian fighters in Syrian skies Israel will no longer be able to use its air force in support of Jabhat al-Nusra (and for its oil stealing endeavors in the Syrian Golan heights).
The U.S., Britain, France and others announced to enter Syrian skies to “fight the terror” of the Islamic State. Russia will use just the same claim to justify its presence and its air operations flying from Latakia. Simply by being there it will make sure that others will not be able to use their capabilities for more nefarious means. Additional intelligence from Russian air assets will also be helpful for Syrian ground operations.
The Russian air capabilities will be supplemented with air defense cover from Russian naval assets on the Syrian coast. Russia announced several air defense drills with live missile launches off the Syrian coast near Tartus. New land based air defense assets are said to be on their way. I would not be surprised to see, over time, some Chinese naval assets joining the Russian presence.
Secretary of State Kerry whined to Russia that its intervention in Syria might intervene with the U.S. intervention in Syria. Well, yes sir, that is the sole purpose:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday coordination was needed between Russia’s military and the Pentagon to avoid “unintended incidents” around Syria, where both countries have a military presence.
Lavrov said Russia would continue to supply weapons to Syrian President Bashar Assad to help the Syrian armed forces fight against ISIS militants.
He told a news conference Russia was conducting military exercises in the Mediterranean Sea, that it had been for some time, and that they were in line with international law.
The neoconned State Department childishly pressured Greece and Bulgaria to disallow Russian military air transport over their countries. But Russian planes can just as well fly via Iran and Iraq and both countries are very unlikely to ever block such flights. As Russian ground forces will not be involved in any fighting the supply needs can be kept limited.
Any attempt by Turkey, pressured by State Department lunatics, to block the Bosporus sea route between Russia and Syria would be in breach of the Montreux Convention and could be interpreted as hostile act against Russia on which Turkey depends for a large amount of its energy supplies. After losing control over the predominantly Kurdish south-eastern city Cizre Turkey also has to take care of its own civil war which Erdogan foolishly ignited to regain a parliamentarian majority. That internal war will hinder resupplies for the Islamic State through Turkey.
The U.S. plan to use the fight against the Islamic State as cover to remove the Syrian government is now in tatters. The months long U.S. supported “Southern Front” attack in south Syria failed to make any gains against the government. The Islamic State attack against Syrian government forces in Deir ez-Zor was repelled and further moves against Syria in the north will have to defy Russian air power.
Washington will now have to decide to risk war against Russia or to shelf the Syria regime change project.

Russian Tanks, Artillery Massing Near Syrian Airfield, US Officials Tell Reuters
We can only hope the “anonymous” US officials will soon provide photographic evidence of their claims.
One irony is that both Moscow and Washington say their enemy is Islamic State, whose Islamist fighters control large parts of Syria and Iraq. But Russia supports the government of Assad in Syria, while the United States says his presence makes the situation worse, which promptly eliminates ISIS as the proximal cause for any military action in the middle east and confirms that the only fulcrum issue is the political future of Syria with the latest conflict merely yet another proxy war waged on behalf of commodities.
The second irony is that the events of the summer/fall of 2015 in Syria are a replica not only of the Syrian showdown of 2013 when nobody was hiding their military intentions, or inventory for that matter, in the Syrian region but also of the summer of 2014 when the US was accusing Russia, and Russia was correspondingly denying, that Russian troops/equipment were present in east Ukraine.
That particular escalation point fizzled out, however since it was all a grand rehearsal for the Syrian Showdown 2.0, this time we expect that the tit-for-tat build up, both in the press and on the battlefield to continue as both sides play coy for media purposes, until finally it becomes clear that an armed showdown over the future of the Qatar gas pipeline is virtually inevitable.

The Russians are a little late in the game. The ISIS savages just left for Europe . . . 80% 18 to 22 year old males. Satan’s soldiers. AND . . . the Europeans are actually letting them in! Hopefully new concentration camps/EU-FEMA camps.
ISIS = Obama & Israel, CIA,Mossad control……………our military has orders not to bomb ISIS, ISIS fighters are treated at Israeli hospitals….our military bomb Syrian military…that was the whole idea..ISIS is paid for with our tax dollars no doubt….and if they attack Europe and USA it will be because Rothschild told his Obama, Israeli puppets to have them attack…
Only Russia & Iran are actually fighting ISIS…and that is pissing off the above….
Russia will not stand by as the USA under the control of jewish bankers employes these ISIS fighters to attack kurds for Turkey or take out the government in Syria and to run death squads in Iraq.
No sir, Russia is doing it’s international duty and taking out these terrorists that started life as the FSA and all carry made in US M/16′s and drive around in UN jeeps.
Don’t worry, ISIS or no ISIS we are going to get a few false flags in Europe because they want to lock down the internet to remove our freedom of speech under the guise of “Natonal Security” and the mass influx of immigrants is being allowed because slave labour competing with the rest of us will push down wages, up profits for corporations owned by banks that are under the control of jewish international banks.
Follow the money
“Washington will now have to decide to risk war against Russia or to shelf the Syria regime change project.”
And the contributor thinks this is a beneficial tactic? Beneficial for whom, exactly?
Beneficial for war weary citizens that Bashar Assad has systematically used chemical weapons upon? Beneficial for ISIS groups that run to Syria for protection, provisions and new personnel? Beneficial for Assad so that he can maintain his position?
Or most likely just beneficial for the warm water port that Putin would maintain control over…..His lease runs out in ten years. If Putin gains full control of a substantial amount of real estate during a military conflict….ahem ….or let me correct myself….an “Annexation”……then he won’t have to pay a ‘lease’ for that real estate anymore.
Putin doesn’t really care about Syria….or ISIS….Putin cares about Putin.
