Russian marines join Hizballah in first Syrian battle

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."

I’d really like to see the latest organizational chart and schedule of the who hates whom and who is killing whom matches.

Is ISIS now like the official Nazi party where everyone will kill them and every enemy of my enemy is my friend against ISIS? Al Qaeda doesn’t like them, Hezbollah doesn’t like them and by extension Iran, Russia doesn’t like them and we don’t like them.

Is this pretty much how it’s going?

It’s hard for Obama to see what the Russians are doing because all the trees on the golf course block his view.

Or, Barrack Obama had this clue all along. Obama's very scheme is to yield the world, including the USA into the dictates of the Communist Internationalle.

We are the dupes thinking that Obama is simply incompetent or naive. What Putin is accomplishing is, and has been, the very thing Barrack Obama and the Communists at the U.S. State Department want.

Putin will eventually get his, but he actually has his sights set on Israel’s vast N/G reserves off the coast which dwarf anything Russia may have (so they say).

He actually called Bibi last week offering “Russian Protection” of these reserves with the might of the Russian military. Of course it was declined, so now they move in with the objective to “protect Assad”.

WE need to sit back, and let this play out. ISIS will make Russia’s involvement a nightmare. We should stay the heck out of it.

Sorry, but your scenario is total crap... Will never happen. Russia will be mired in this for years. They are not a super power. They will take a lot of losses.

We need to back off and let them do whatever they want to do over there. We in turn need to be energy self sufficient.

This is part of the deal that Obama had with Putin prior to the last election, at which time he had to caution the Russians to be patient until the election was over.

He supports old communists and islamofascists.

The "end game", given that Russia is simultaneously attempting to re-take its former Soviet states, is that Russia may ultimately control a huge chunk of eastern Europe AND the critically strategic Middle East. And you (honestly?) believe THAT is a good thing for the US and the rest of the free world? Honestly?

I did not say it was a good thing for the USA!!! In fact: it is a horrible outcome, brought about by our lack of leadership from POTUS Obama and his Democrat Party!!! Get real....Obama has lost the entire MIddle East. Putin plays Obama like a fiddle!!! A void of leadership in the world is always filled by someone...good or bad!!! Obama is not the one...he never was...he is the true deatroyer of our once geeat country!!! End of story!!!

I hope the Russians whip ISIS but I would not forget that there are a lot of Russian Nationals in ISIS as well. Over 2,000.

I thought Debka was on FR's "No Thanks" list right alongside Prison Planet.

Have they ever published anything that if not outright false, was at the very least a massive exaggeration of events?

It’s sick, but it looks like everybody but Saudi Arabia (and their ME puppets), the US, and Turkey want ISIS disintegrated. How did we ever become part of an Axis of Evil?

When I took History of Russia - since the time of the Czars. Russia has always wanted a foothold in the Middle East. Peter the Great strived to have the Black Sea in Russia’s power nearly had but lost it in a protracted war with others. Catherine the Great gained everything back with the Crimea and established Russian domination, Stalin set up his villa near the Black Sea.

Russia always has an ulterior motive - Middle east Russia’s Manifest Destiny. The only problem is that the final battle of humankind will take place on the Plains of Megiddo (Armageddon). We can only watch to see what happens - the Middle East a hotbed, ripe for many years of hardship and anguish.
