The Russia Foreign Ministry today issued a statement warning the United States against launching any attacks on the Syrian government, cautioning it would have “terrible, tectonic consequences” not just in Syria but also across the entire Middle East.
Since the collapse of the Syrian ceasefire about two weeks ago, the US has been railing against Russia and Syria, and threatening non-specific “non-diplomatic actions” against them, particularly in the city of Aleppo, where Syrian forces are fighting against the Nusra Front.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova in particular cautioned against a US-imposed regime change in Syria, saying it would quickly fill a new government with terrorists of all stripes. Russian officials have repeatedly criticized the US response after the ceasefire, arguing they’re overtly backing terrorist groups like Nusra, which is closely aligned with al-Qaeda.
In the lead-up to the failed ceasefire, the US talked of a seven-day pause on striking Nusra territory, leading to joint US-Russia military operations against Nusra, after they were separated from US-backed “moderates.” Though the ceasefire did last 7 days, Nusra never separated from the other rebels, and the US quickly ditched the joint operations pledge, and started condemning Syria and Russia for their resumption of strikes against Nusra.
WTF….. Pete Escobar sure nailed it when he wrote “The globalized world is dissolving into liquid war..” Seems the MIC just can’t control themselves, forget about others… It’s all shear madness….
“
Russia your surrounded by U.S. bases in the middle East we’ve got Nukes in Turkey reserved for you…You didn’t even bust a grape when Turkey shot one of your jets out of the sky the U.S. just bombed and killed 84 Syrian regime soldiers and there building bases and missile defense systems along your borders in Russia…Please keep your we’re a powerful nation propaganda for the Russian people who you drug into recession and whose ruble is not even worth a quarter of the rest of the modern world’s currency onthe world stage.Somebody tell Putin he doesn’t scare the American people open your eyes Putin 4 battalions on your doorstep missile defense shields in Poland another coming soon a modernized nuke campaign just for you along with a modernized version of our NUCLEAR arsenal…Russia shut up!!! Go back to defending the ONLY naval base your poor countries weak military with its attempt to gain influence on the world stage has.Hahaha like the fly threatening the spider…
Typical ziobot hatred for Russian goyim.
The only clowns who scare the American people are our current shites like Obomba,Ass Carter and the Hell Bitch,along with the zionist media which supports this incredibly stupid nonsense.
Trump for POTUS.
What are we angry about today? Is because the big bad bear spoiled your Zionist plans for Syria? Is it because big bad bear is keeping you from delivering on your promises to your Wahhabi butt buddies?
P.S. Tell Obama, thanks for Crimea, the best gift from an American president since Bush gave Russia Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
You mean why am I so happy Russia is fighting so hard to keep Assad in power while we build up our capabilities on its doorsteps.Understand it’s a distraction if we keep them occupied in a proxy war we don’t even really care about and there killing off our real enemies in the form of the old al quaeda and ISIS militants I’m asking what did the USA lose???We kept there dumb asses distracted while we snuck up on them.Russias had that naval base in Syria for decades we have several in the middle East we don’t need that one to…Its called strategy and we’re playing to win….
All the idiots in Washington are doing is extending and bankrupting the empire just like all the empires that came before. Two other points: 1)We’re not going to avoid what happened to other empires because we’re exceptional. They thought they were exceptional too.
2)You can’t win a nuclear war. Period. If we nuke Russia they nuke us back. These modern warheads are infinitely more powerful than the two firecrackers dropped on Japan. Human civilization is back in the stone age if we’re lucky. As the computer in “Wargames” said, Winner: none.
You tell that idiot (EAGLE), buddy. Give ‘im hell; let ‘im have it on all cylinders.
He’s nothing but a Zionist shill, spewing his BS everywhere on this site, but nobody’s buying it.
“He’s nothing but a Zionist shill”
I think you give him too much credit.
Freud noted that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Sometimes an idiot is just an idiot.
This idiot appears on a regular schedule for periods of time like he’s working a shift. Just saying.
LMAO…u people sure know how to make a guy feel good about himself but don’t give me too much credit I promise I’m not getting a check just supporting my country people.Wish I was earning money doing this I’d ask for a bonus every time I got a ride out of all y’all conspiracy geeks…Now I’m even part of y’alls conspiracy theories I work for the government Hahaha can’t make this stuff up…God Bless You People…I can’t even get mad cause y’all probably rode the little yellow bus to school…Yea y’all are “SPECIAL” USA….
Be nice to him. He’s just earning his USAF paycheck like most the rest of the Americans who’s other chances at a paycheck have been consumed by the giant sucking sound of Wall Street. Gotta feed his kids somehow, and if he starts WWIII tomorrow and we all go up in mushroom clouds, well that’s just collateral damage to him earning his paycheck.
On all cylinders huh??? Computer warriors launching hostile comments…calm down grandpa DON’T want you to have a heart attack while you’re guiding your troops…God bless you….
When I hear that we are an ‘exceptional’ people who must rule the world, to my ear that sounds identical to the guy who said his people were a ‘master race’ that must rule the world.
There are pictures of what the German cities looked like by the time that was done. And now we’ve all got nuclear weapons.
“What did the USA lose” in Syria? The same thing Russia won in Syria… credibility!
What did you “win” in Iraq? You spent 4-to-5 trillion dollars and 4-to-5 thousands lives there and sent the US economy in a recession in 2007-2008 that it has yet to recover from… so what did you win?
At the end of the Cold War the US was the undisputed military and economic power in the world but today, after 16 years of Bush and Obama, the US economy is in shambles, with a $20 trillion debt and you are being militarily challenged in Europe by the Russians, in Asia by the Chinese and in the Middle East by the Iranians. Even the Houthi chased the Americans out of Yemen. And don’t look to your European allies for help because the European men in having been so feminized that they are now incapable of defending the own children from the sexual abuse from Muslim men that pray of them.
Eagle, we don’t want to “win”. We just want peace and freedom in our times, and have no problem with Russia, or her actions in the world geopolitical stage. The last thing any of us want is the corrupt megalomaniacs in Washington starting a war they can’t finish. War is for losers.
American nukes cannot penetrate Russian A2/AD systems. The only method NATO has to take out Russian A2/AD is offensive airstrikes, but those are also protected against not only by anti-aircraft and Russian jets, but by electro-magnetic jamming and anti-satellite laser weapons. 99% of Americans do not have any idea how advanced Russia is. Even the Pentagon is not fully aware of what they have.
I guess you don’t know what Israel just got from America in its military package we just passed…Sell your propaganda to your Syrian Regime military if Russia’s so strong why are we surrounding them with NATO bases and missile defense systems along it’s borders??? You figure that one out….USA
F-35 RADAR EVADING JETS…
If they don’t fall apart in the air, which seems like a significant possibility based on the development and fielding problems.
Try clicking Eagle’s profile. You can’t. It is a government paid propagandist.
Anyone can make their Disqus profile private.
If he’s a government paid propagandist, they’re getting even less for their money than usual.
Can anyone make it so private that you can’t click on it?
I’m not sure what you mean. When I click on it, I see his email address, his IP address, etc.
When I click on it nothing…. nada….. not a thing happen…..oh well.
When I click on it just the constant rounds of bullets dispersing from my Bushmaster…Yall don’t scare me Mr.Wizard and popcorn nuts!! Grow up
The $1billion+ turkey of the MIC. No F-35 jets have any radar evasion capability; heck, they’re incapable of staying in the air, due to a number of defects .. starting with the pilot’s ejection seat and ending with engine and software glitches.
Is the F 35v the only American plane with enough speed to keep up or beat the planes Russia has in Syria right now ?
Tell that to the Russians if it where true they would’ve done something about NATO BASES on there borders but they won’t attack you know why NUCLEAR BOMBS that could end there countries existence.Every missile defense system anti missile shield are all vulnerable if it came to a form of a modernized compact nukes that dispersed in the form of many smaller scale missiles shot in clusters but scattered throughout the sky as they’re dispersed it could penetrate there defenses…I guess you forgot America has been working on these miniaturized forms of nuclear weapons for just the occasion of an adversary country with a standing army and a technical savvy…USA
“Tell that to the Russians if it where true they would’ve done something about NATO BASES on there borders but they won’t attack you know why NUCLEAR BOMBS that could end there countries existence.”
So more or less “we are taking the Sudetenland, Austria and Alsace-Lorraine and y’all won’t do anything about it, nyah, nyah, nyah.”
Well, OK. But I seem to recall that ended rather badly for the aggressor.
You sound like a foolish war monger
I couldn’t agree with you more. That maniac Neocon Ash (hole) Carter must be ousted yesterday. He must be Killary Rotten Clinton’s lapdog.
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama made one of the worst mistakes in his presidency when he picked this maniacal scumbag as Defense Secretary. Mike S. King of TomatoBubble.com was right on the money when he compared Carter to Edward Smigly-Rydz and Obama to FDR. It’s like history’s repeating itself.
“Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” ~ Georges Santayana, Spanish Writer/Historian
Love those names! Ash (hole) in particular.
Now what did Smigly-Rydz do that Carter is also doing?
Ah the usual my military is bigger than yours, It is simple no one wins in a Nuclear war! Facts are these the US is funding Al Qaeda might have another name Al Nusra ISIS doesn’t matter they are funding and training or have funded and trained in the recent past groups which are Wahhibi in their ideology! That makes them State sponsored Terrorists and the state providing the sponsorship is the US! No lessor person than Senator John McCain has been actually seen with these terrorists inside Syria in 2013, irrefutable proof of US complicity!
Nailed that one brilliantly, Adriann. In a thermonuciear war, NOBODY wins. In such an event, 99% of life on this planet will be gone .. not even fortified bunders 1,000 feet underground will escape; all power feeding them will have been destroyed, leaving those within dying a slow, painful death.
I totally agree with you that the US is funding al-Qaeda, which might have another moniker such as al-Nusra or ISIS .. doesn’t matter. They’re funding and training these Jihadist groups whose ideology is Wahabbism. That makes them terrorists, and the state providing this sponsorship is the US. As you said, no lesser person than Sen. John the Insane McCain has actually been seen with these terrorists inside Syria back in 2013, irrefutable proof of American complicity! A photo doesn’t lie.
Seems like I saw a headline just last week that the CIA admitted that, gee, the weapons we give the rebels seem to end up with Al-Qaida and ISIS. Hope they put Gomer Pyle in charge of that program so he can say “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise”.
America funded the beginnings of Al-Qaida to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Ronnie Raygun’s Freedom Fighters they were billed as in the NYT. There’s a DIA report that clearly spells out that the funding of ‘rebels’ in Syria directly led to the rise of ISIS.
So, no one should be shocked at this point to realize that the US is now supply weapons, air support and diplomatic support to these groups it helped to create.
And, if you want this to get worse and worse like its all on steroids, vote for Hillary.
Listen to these words “It’s a distraction” Got it???They’ve been duped into thinking they won something they’ve possessed the whole time.You can’t win your house if you already own it!!!Look at what America is doing on its borders along with NATO I can’t explain it any simpler than that…
I,am a patriot American but I did not side with Bill Clinton furnishing the air force for the KLA and Al Qeda in Yugoslavia ., And I did not side with Bush for destroying Iraq , I did not side with Obama on the Muslim spring in Egypt or any where else . I did not side with Murdering Gaddaffi or the no fly zone that destroyed his government in Libya , I did not side with the United States position in Georgia or the Ukraine , I do not side with NATO and the United States in arming and supporting the terrorist for taking over Syria . In each and everyone of these cases I have sided more with Russia’s position . I’am all most 80 yrs old Should . I now learn the Russian language and ask to migrate to Russia I think Iam on the wrong side ? it is not fun .
Why are we attacking Syrian troops and not Israeli paid ISIS mercenaries killing civilians and reporters.
Looks like the real terrorists are the USA. No wonder people from Syria are flooding foreign countries. US keeps bombing the f*ck out of their homes.
Let’s be honest here. What are we doing in Syria? Ethnic Cleaning and creating a Greater Israel. #fact
