Is Donald Trump's Campaign A Spoof?

Mind when there was that multiple drone attack on the Russian air base in Syria which was successfully repelled, well it seems the equivalent US air defense system can’t cope. The world will be queuing up for the S400 and S500. 

The Saudis have been shafting Yemen for years, they strike back, claim responsibility, but of course the US blame Iran. Very boring, very predictable.

The fact Netanyahu is most likely now finished is a light at the end of the tunnel... or a train.

That's why we got the Epstein stuff Bibi was tweeting pictures of Epstein with Ehud Barak as part of a negative campaign to keep Bibi in power. As Barak was running and heavily implicated with Epstein.

I was reading somewhere they ran a simulation against Iran and it came out very badly. Huge Warships aren't the most effective way to battle in the straits of horruz apparently.

Let's hope no one goes about trying to kill anyone else.

I read a while ago that the real reason for attacking Yemen was to secure a seaport that could by pass the strait of hormuz. It was seen as necessary before any attack on Iran.

With tha now very unlikely (victory in Yemen) and with Bolton gone and Netanyahu now seemingly done it feels like the mentalness may be getting dialed back a bit. (Que mass bombing raids...)

[phart]

Talking about Yemen, holy shit

 

"Houthi rebels in Yemen say they have captured a large number of Saudi troops after a major attack near the border between the two countries.

A Houthi spokesman told the BBC that three Saudi brigades had surrendered near the Saudi town of Najran.

He said thousands of soldiers had been captured and many others killed. Saudi officials have not confirmed the claim."

Brigades can be up to 4000 troops. 😮

Mon the Houthis.

That'll be the Kurds abandoned by Trumpy after aiding the defeat of ISIS then ?

[phart]

You'd think the Kurds would have learned the other couple of times they took American Gold and then got abandoned.

 

Also Putin just set up a meeting with the leader of Kurds, Russia has started drilling in their territory so they wont let that be affected or their base in Tartus.

[phart]

Leader of the Kurds

"I need to know if you are capable of protecting my people, of stopping these bombs falling on us or not. I need to know, because if you're not, I need to make a deal with Russia and the regime now and invite their planes to protect this region"

Also Turkey in NATO, the weird thing is this is getting put in the context of Trump betraying folk but it could also be put in the context of a de-escalation of the encriclement of Russia as opposed to some mad capitulation.

Kurds will make a deal with Assad to some sort of government that stops short of self rule and that part come back under the Syrian umbrella, Assad regains the country after a huge multi-billion dollar coup attempt by the CIA finally fails. So Syria goes back to where it was.

Turkey becomes less in favour of NATO and we get less missle systems and military build up in that area.

Obama administration was obsessed with Russia, which is no surpise having Zbigniew Brzezinski in the halls of power again. So state department had Russian puppet in Ukraine replaced by their own. Which along with the Syria situation threatened two Naval bases which were tactically vital to Russia Tartus and Sevastopol, In Syria and Crimea respectively.

Trump seems pathologically obssessed with removing any thing Obama did.

Radio 5 live had an excellent interview with an English fella who had fought with the Kurds against ISIS

Being a BBC programme I was surprised they let it go on so long as it exposed Turkey for what they really are 

Turkey is ISIS

ISIS is Turkey

Should get them fucked right out of NATO immediately

That's the deal done Syrian Army now on way to stop the Turkish privateer army , Russia will make sure everyone is out of the area and then establish a no-fly zone, which the Turks would be wise not to break considering they shot down a Russian jet in 2015 for breaching air defences which is disputed but i'm sure the Russians want any excuse to even the score.

Huge celebrations in north east Syria as the army comes in. I wonder how it will be spun by the BBC.

 

 

[phart]

No fly-zone is established but Turkey can still hit targets in Syria without entering their airspace.

[phart]

No pretense now from US.

GAZIANTEP, Turkey—U.S. forces battled to contain the deployment of Syrian regime troops on Monday, as President Bashar al-Assad ordered his forces into several sensitive areas. 

Although still seemingly prepared to withdraw from Syria—according to statements from Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and other administration officials—sources on the ground told The Daily Beast that American forces continued to try to prevent or at least rein in the full scope of the Assad regime’s deployment throughout the region. 

Late Sunday night, local news sources such as Raqqa Is Being Silently Slaughtered, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and other outlets reported that U.S. aircraft launched airstrikes against pro-Assad positions near Tabqa, Mansour, and in Khasham, killing and injuring an unspecified number of fighters.

In case you missed it, they could almost be quoting you. Nice to see you and the BBC sharing the same views.

'Turkey-Syria offensive: Syrian army enters Ain Issa

Syria's government forces have entered the town of Ain Issa in the north of the country, hours after Damascus agreed to help Kurdish forces facing a Turkish offensive in the area.

State television showed images of what it said was the entrance of the town, where residents were seen welcoming the arrival of the troops.

Ain Issa is located next to the area where Turkey plans to create a "safe zone" in northern Syria, cleared of Kurdish fighters."

I see the US is "adopting" the children of migrants deported.

They say adopted but it's somewhere between trafficking kidnapping and genocide. Depending on what weight you put on each definition.

Basically re-education camps in America and China while they stand atop their ivory towers reaching for the moral high-ground.

[phart]

Got to love a wee bit of propaganda though

 

[phart]

So the Syrian chemical attacks have been investigated quietly.

"On October 15, an independent British civil society organisation, Courage Foundation, convened a panel of experts from the fields of disarmament, international law, journalism, military operations, medicine and intelligence in Brussels, to meet a member of the OPCW’s team that investigated the Douma incident. Based on the whistleblower’s “extensive presentation, including internal emails, text messages and draft reports”, the panel “unanimously” expressed its “alarm over unacceptable practices in the investigation of the alleged chemical attack in Douma”.

The panel, consisting of Nobel Peace Prize nominee Jose Bustani, Brazilian diplomat and the first Director General of the OPCW; Richard Falk, professor emeritus of International Law, Princeton University; Kristinn Hrafnsson, editor in chief of WikiLeaks; Dr Helmut Lohrer, MD, Board member of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War and others, concluded that: “A critical analysis of the final report of the Douma investigation left the panel in little doubt that conclusions drawn from each of the key evidentiary pillars of the investigation (chemical analysis, toxicology, ballistics and witness testimonies) are flawed and bear little relation to the facts.”

[phart]

The panel stated that is was “particularly troubled by organisational efforts [by OPCW] to obfuscate and prevent inspectors from raising legitimate concerns about possible malpractices surrounding the Douma investigation.” Professor Richard Falk, one of the panel members, wrote that: “Not only did the panel find that OPCW tampered with the evidence to produce an outcome desired by the geopolitical actors involved in this instance, it tried to silence its own senior civil servants to such an extent as to produce what I would call ‘a reluctant but extremely credible whistleblower,’ a senior inspector with 17 years of experience with OPCW, and a member of the team that carried out the on-site investigations of the Douma allegations.”
