Russian marines join Hizballah in first Syrian battle
– a danger signal for US, Israel
September 24, 2015
"Before dawn on Thursday, Sept. 24, Russian marines went into battle
for the first time since their deployment to Syria, debkafile’s military
and intelligence sources reveal. Russian Marine Brigade 810 fought
with Syrian army and Hizballah special forces in an attack on ISIS forces
at the Kweiris airbase, east of Aleppo.
The offensive to regain Kweiris airbase that fell to ISIS in mid-June
is the first step in the implementation of Russia’s operational plan for the Aleppo area.
...the Russian forces launched their attack on ISIS shortly after the
announcement of Allen’s upcoming resignation ...
the most ominous aspect for the US and Israel of the Russian attack on the Syrian airbase
is that Russian marines were combined with Syrian and Hizballah special forces.
For the first time in 41 years, since the 1974 war of attrition against the IDF on the Golan,
Russian troops are fighting alongside Syrian forces."
And we are in such great shape we don’t even have borders to defend. Also our previously unacceptable soldiers won’t want to get dirty or interrupt their various trysts.
If this is a Debka trial balloon then it is for domestic Israeli consumption. I suspect certain elements of Israeli intelligence are none too happy about the arrangement Netanyahu has made with Putin and so they throw this out there stating that Hezbollah is involved in the offensive to stir things up.
I’ll wait for confirmation from a more reliable source.
Don't worry the US State Department will find a way to screw this up.
Yeah...lets root for ISIS
/smh
A good explanation and reason for clear-cutting all the trees on any golf course Obama plays on, except for the one Bill Murray loaded up with dynamite.
Pulling out of Iraq was the dumbest idea ever.
