Pentagon officials are reporting that the are hiking the US military “footpriint” as well as “combat power” in southern Syria in recent days, sending more troops into the area with a specific eye toward fighting against the Shi’ite militias that are trying to advance, hoping to connect Syrian government territory to the Iraqi border.
Shi’ite militias who had been involved in the Mosul invasion in Iraq have been making for the Syrian border, looking to help the Shi’ite militias inside Syria with fighting ISIS. The problem is that US-backed rebels are smack in the middle of these two sides, and the US has even targeted the militias inside syria to some extent to keep them away from the border region, accusing them of “threatening” the rebel territory.
At this point, US military spokesmen are now insisting that they are specifically scaling up their military presence in Syria just to deal with the “threat” posed by pro-government forces inside Syria. Though the US has been hostile toward Syria and sought regime change as a matter of policy, this suggests the Pentagon is moving directly toward a military confrontation.
That would be a huge shift, particularly as President Trump panned the suggestion throughout the 2016 campaign, warning that efforts to remove Assad from power militarily risks open war with Russia. For some reason, that concern appears to have been scrapped by the administration, with the US both determined to impose regime change in Syria, and unconcerned by the obvious consequences.
Ominous … but we have known that this was the plan all along in the pentagram. I wonder if Trump is even aware of these developments considering his political sideshows and media woes. Could it be that Trump’s full confidence in his generals to do what is needed on the battlefield is being taken to a point of no return. A nexus of events is occurring as US Troops begin the invasion of another sovereign nation shrouded in the smokescreens of media distractions, supported by the usual omission of facts to an unquestioning public, ultimately allowing the complete cover-up of what is now unfolding in Syria. Its a Trap for Trump and Putin. But it is what the Deep State wants and it looks like they shall have their way. Checkmate planet Earth.
This is something that Putin will have to fix. The US hawks are beyond civilian control, certainly anything Trump might consider. They’ve wanted this for a long time, and expected to get it from Hillary. Now they act to seize it from Trump.
US hawks are Israeli hawks are Zionist hawks. And as you say, they have little concern for civilian opinions. What is going on in Syria is the “Yinon Plan”. It is a decades long power and land grab for “Greater Israel”. “A Strategy for Israel” has succeeded in weakening and fracturing neighboring Muslim countries where they will profit from the chaos. Muslims just see it as another bunch of Crusaders.
Zionists who control the US economy and media have turned the US military a Zionist attack dog with little regard for international law. Putin of course knows all about this but would rather postpone conflict until the attack dog is weakened when its economic teeth fall out. No body in Russia wants another war, but they didn’t want the last one either.
This indeed makes the US fascist regime an occupier but not only that, US is now officially siding with the same cutthroat mercenaries they say they are fighting against, which right there removes the raison d’etre for illegally being there in the first place, you cant make these things up.
So what do we have here? We have US, English and covert israeli forces together with said cutthroat mercenaries, mainly isis, occupying a dusty abandoned toll station in the desert border to Iraq, the gameplan is to march north to Deir Ezzor and cut Syria in half, the oil rich part and the part Qatar wants for it’s gas pipes to Europe and of course permanent “israels” occupation of the Golan and snatch them the rest of it plus a “buffer zone” too
Against them a few kilometres to the north-west, effectively blocking their way, we have an enormous force of SAA troops increasing by the day, forces that are freed from other areas thanks to the cease fire agreement made between Russia/Turkey and Iran in Astana and not only that, we also have Russia covering the airspace, Russian “advisers” and Russian intel, Hezbollah and Iranian forces, Iraqi forces working in tandem with this Syrian operation of defence has now from the south reach a point, again just a few kilometres away from this US ZioWahhabi occupation force.
The next move is US’s (israels) If they strike again it will be US’ ZioWahhabi alliance WITH isis, official declaration of war against Syria and all of the above.
Really? Can you please inform us as to your source for the “enormous force of SAA troops? I’ve never heard any account of an “enormous” force. And there has been no mention as to the SAA being in the area at all. The USAF and I think the Syrians both said that the people murdered by the USAF were a “militia”. And the above article by Mr. Ditz does not mention the SAA but only “militias” approaching from both sides.
The SAA appears to be busy in other theaters. Palmyra and trying to get to Raqqa first to keep the US from dividing their country permenently. The SAA doesn’t have many extra troops, and instead for the last couple of years has been trying to rush forces from hotspot to hotspot as a fire brigade style of response. So, I am a bit curious since this is the first time I’ve heard any mention of an enormous force of SAA in this isolated border area. And I don’t think I’ve heard any reports of the SAA pulling out of other areas.
Probably the one thing that would make the pentagon mad would be if Shite militas were interfering with the move of ISIS forces out of Mosul and over to the preferred US target of Syria.
Can we call this a US invasion yet?…
If another country had its troops inside America and was bombing targets inside America, all without the permission of the US gov and all actually in opposition of the stance of the US gov ……. then you can bet it would be called an “invasion”. The cable bull networks would be in 24 hour a day crisis mode and they’d even have the special graphics made up stating “America Invaded 2017”.
As I said before, the Trump goal now is an “internal invasion” – incrementally increasing US troops inside Syria to conduct the invasion of Syria rather than building up forces outside Syria (only) for an invasion. This is a more subtle approach than merely invading from outside Syria – although that, too, will be done once the internal forces are sufficient to disrupt Syria and Russia’s response.
Remember, the USAF responded to the ‘threat’ from within Syria by blowing up a bulldozer that got within 20 miles of the pro-US jihadists.
Does that mean I can claim to be threatened by every DOT work site and claim some sort of compensation? 🙂
And from the other direction, its US allies that are approaching.
Unmentioned is why the US wants this border crossing open, and why the Syrians want it closed. Its obviously being used to funnel weapons and other nasty stuff to the pro-US jihadists.
So, taxpayers are paying millions I’m sure, and now risking the lives of young Americans, to defend against a bulldozer 20 miles away and our allies in Iraq in order to make sure the jihadists in Syrian have plenty of weapons and ammo and explosives. With no gurantee that those weapons won’t end up as machine guns in the hands of jihadists in Paris or that the explosives won’t go off outside an arena in Manchester. Welcome to Pax Americana.
The biggest mistake that Trump could possibly make would be to take sides in a Sunni vs Shiite religious war.
That is exactly what Empire USA would love for the world to think.
Truth is, the Western war materials industry and dictators of the oil rich Gulf states, they are laughing all the way to the bank.
