Top German general praises Russian bombing in Syria
Published: 12 Feb 2016 12:46 GMT+01:00
Russian bombing in Syria against opponents of the brutal regime of President Bashar al-Assad has "enabled the peace process" to get started, a former top-ranked German general said on Friday.
"With its military intervention, Russia has enabled the peace process," Harald Kujat, former chief of staff of the Bundeswehr (German army) told the Passauer Neue Presse.
Kujat argues that the Syrian civil war was in a deadlock until September 2015, and that "neither the Americans nor the Europeans had a strategy for a peaceful Syria, nor were they ready to engage massively.
"The Russians have done that and created a window for a political solution," he believes.
Syrian regime forces were close to the brink of defeat before Russian intervention, Kujat added.
"I would only have given them a few more weeks. Then Syria would have collapsed and Isis would have taken over the country."
According to Kujat, Isis could then have targeted attacks against Lebanon and even Israel, with "far-reaching consequences" for Germany and the West.
The retired general also dismisses western governments' allegations that Russia has sought to deliberately worsen the situation of civilians in Aleppo, where its aircraft are supporting an offensive by pro-regime troops.
"Putin's goal is to support the advance of Syrian troops towards Isis areas. Aleppo has been a block on this route, because the city was held by the Syrian opposition."

I wonder if I should be afraid of a German general praising a Russian bombing campaign.
Well at least you dont see German soldiers marching in Red Square.

Uh oh...
There must be a video from the Bunker:
“Angela Merkel finds out that one of her generals praised the Syrian bombing campaign”.
Wasn’t Merkel’s job supposed to be the islamazation of Europe?
Like!

Russian air strikes in Syria 'good thing': UN War Crimes Investigator Del Ponte
ormer war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte, who is currently probing rights abuses in Syria, on Monday backed Russia's air strikes on "terrorist groups" in the war-torn country.
"Overall, I think the Russian intervention is a good thing, because finally someone is attacking these terrorist groups," Del Ponte told Swiss public broadcaster RTS, listing the Islamic State group and Al-Nusra among the groups targeted.
Angie was a commie and her mommy was a commie. Or a Nazi.
But she was hot. She was as hot as the barrel of a MG32 at Stalingrad ....
“Nevertheless, the young Angela Kasner appears to have done much to feather her nest. She not only joined the Communist Free German Youth movement — which some critics still describe as the socialist answer to the Hitler Youth — but also learnt Russian, the language of East Germany’s ultimate rulers.”
I’m going out on a limb to say she probably doesn’t care, except about her bad decision to allow these human reptiles into Germany, since the Russians are sending more.
