Russia and Syria on the Offensive Against ISIS

Russia and Syria on the Offensive Against ISIS by Stephen Lendman Russian air power together with Syrian ground forces constitute a potential death blow to Washington’s anti-Assad campaign - for the first time challenging it effectively, why US officials are flummoxed about what to do next. Counterattacking with propaganda won’t work - a worthless exercise doing nothing to constrain Putin’s righteous mission, displaying Russia’s formidable military might at the same time. On the one hand, Putin wants terrorism defeated and Syrians alone deciding who’ll lead them. On the other, he wants ISIS and other terrorist threats prevented from spreading, especially to ...

Russia bombs terrorists, USA bombs hospitals 04.10.2015 21:46 Pravda.Ru photo archiveIt goes against every fiber of human decency to use a tragedy involving the murder of civilians by a terrorist in an aircraft to score political points. This is about murder, not politics. One day after warning Russia for its airstrikes in Syria, what happens? The USA precision-bombs a MSF hospital in Kunduz. Whoosh-BANG! God Bless America!The bombing went on for half an hour yesterday after the alert was given that there was a Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in the area where the US air force was operating, in bombing raids to remove the Taliban from Kunduz. Nine of the medical staff were ...
Russia's Impressive First Week of REAL War on Terror

Russia’s Impressive First Week of REAL War on Terror by Stephen Lendman In over a year of Washington’s phony war on ISIS, they’re stronger with more territory than when US bombing began - targeting Syrian and Iraqi infrastructure, not terrorist forces or facilities. On September 30, things changed markedly. Washington wants no interference in its policies. Putin’s intervention leveled the playing field. ISIS forces are panicking, retreating, hiding in residential areas and mosques, using area residents as human shields - knowing Russia won’t attack noncombatants or civilian infrastructure, Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov explained, citing video evidence. ...

Assad’s Struggle Against US Imperialism by Stephen Lendman The late Syrian expert Patrick Seale once said Assad’s popularity stems from his “standing up to Israel and its American backer, and for” providing security and stability in a troubled region. Obama’s war changed things. Early in the conflict, Seale said “Assad may be on the ropes, but he is far from finished.” The longer conflicts continues, the greater his popularity. Western leaders and media demeaned his landslide June 2014 reelection - a process independent international monitors judged open, free and fair, the first ever for the nation’s top job. Syrians want no one else leading ...
That Awkward Moment When One Nobel Peace Prize Winner Bombs Another

US/NATO planes bombed a hospital operated by Doctors Without Borders in Afghanistan on Saturday. The attack lasted an hour, and continued even after medics “frantically phoned NATO and Washington” to tell them what they were bombing. It was no use. The attackers already knew full well what their target was. Doctors Without Borders had long ago provided them with the GPS coordinates of their facilities. And the US-installed Afghan government, which had raided that very same hospital in July of this year, had requested the strike, claiming the hospital was being used by insurgents. The attack killed 22 people, including 12 medical workers and 10 patients. Three of ...

Irresponsible NYT Putin Bashing by Stephen Lendman The Times is an establishment publication - a longstanding mouthpiece for wealth, power and privilege, militantly anti-Russian. All the news it calls fit to print isn’t fit to read! Its latest anti-Putin editorial salvo headlined “Mr. Putin’s Motives in Syria,” falsely accusing him of “sending ‘volunteer’ ground forces into Syria” - repeating the same Big Lie about nonexistent “Russian aggression” in Ukraine.” Spuriously claiming he’s bombing nonexistent “Syrian rebels,” so-called moderates no one can find, “phantoms” according to Sergey Lavrov, not ISIS and ...

Well, I mentioned a Doomsday Falafel on here, so we might as well have a Doomsday Turkey since Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Yeah, I know, there’s the question of what stuffing to use on such a bird. It certainly won’t be stuffed with sanity, I’ll tell you that. But we won’t need to worry about it getting done quickly, since the flash from a nuclear weapon detonation will make that tricky cooking time guesswork a thing of the past. Whooosh! Ah, nice and crispy! Say, where’s the gravy? A Doomsday Turkey?! Why…yes! Have you seen the news? Evidently, there’s already been a border kerfuffle between some other birds, those being Turkish F-16s and Russian ...

Lunatics in Washington Want Direct Confrontation with Russia by Stephen Lendman Russia’s sovereign independence sticks in Washington’s craw, longterm US policy determined to replace it with governance it controls - even at the risk of WW III. Putin’s most responsible policies are bashed, notably his forthright efforts to end conflicts in Ukraine and Syria diplomatically - now his real war on terrorism, polar opposite Washington’s phony one, a pretext for ravaging one country after another. Irresponsible propaganda war against him rages. Deputy State Department spokesman Mark Toner lied saying the Obama administration “welcome(s) a constructive role for Russia if ...

Anti-Russian Propaganda War Rages by Stephen Lendman John Pilger calls journalism the first casualty of war - “a weapon of war, a virulent censorship,” by omission and commission. Free and open societies are jeopardized. Presstitution substitutes for real journalism. News and information are carefully filtered, dissent suppressed in mainstream reporting. Major media contributors are agents of wealth, power and privilege. Victims are blamed for high crimes of state. Big Lies substitute for honest reporting and analysis. A culture of deceit persists. Russia is public enemy No. one, despite Putin’s forthright efforts for world peace and stability. He’s the leading ...

The apparent U.S. slaughter of at least 22 people at an Afghan hospital, including Doctors Without Borders medical staff, is part of the grim reality of indiscriminate death when U.S. Special Forces undertake their secret raids and often toss aside the rules of warfare, reports Nicolas J S Davies. On Dec. 26, 2009, a U.S. Special Operations team flew from Kabul to Ghazi Khan village in the Narang district of Kunar province. They attacked three houses, where they killed two adults and eight children. Seven of the children were handcuffed before they were shot. The youngest was 11 or 12, three more were 12, and one was 15. Both the United Nations and the Afghan government conducted ...

NYT Falsely Claims Russia Sending Troops to Syria by Stephen Lendman The New York Times is militantly anti-Russian, an over-the-top lying machine, featuring all propaganda all the time on major geopolitical issues, systematically suppressing hard truths. Its latest misinformation piece falsely headlined “Russian Soldiers Join Syria Fight,” claiming Moscow “said Monday that its ‘volunteer’ ground forces would join the fight and NATO warned the Kremlin after at least one Russian warplane trespassed into Turkey’s airspace.” More on the so-called air space violation below. The Times shamelessly accused Moscow of “saber-rattling,” challenging ...

Pentagon Lies: Covering Up Its Latest War Crime by Stephen Lendman US warplanes deliberately and maliciously terror bombed Kunduz, Afghanistan’s hospital, the only one in the area - striking it multiple times for over an hour, despite knowing it was not involved in ongoing fighting in the city. The death toll stands at 22, dozens more injured, including Doctors Without Borders (MSF) physicians, other medical staff and patients. Those unable to be moved were immolated in their beds. US General in charge of Pentagon operations in Afghanistan John F. Campbell lied, claiming the Kunduz hospital was “accidentally struck.” His additional comments reflected typical US coverup ...

You’d almost think mass murder is a new reality show on TV. Here we go again, another one in Oregon. And, of course, the usual calls for gun control. Excuse me, but we’re asking the wrong questions and having the wrong conversations. The REAL one we need to have, we never will. Has anyone at all noticed that a couple days after this shooting, it was announced the U.S. military had “accidently” bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan? And killed double the number of people murdered in Oregon? Where will the candlelight vigils be for these poor people? We have politicians foaming at the mouth with the desire to bomb innocent people in Iran and Americans ...

The Latest NYT Propaganda Piece on Syria by Stephen Lendman The Times is a virtual US administration/Pentagon house organ. Its articles read like imperial press releases, real journalism entirely absent, making sensationalist tabloid operations look good by comparison. It’s latest propaganda piece headlined “US Aims to Put More Pressure on ISIS in Syria” - polar opposite its agenda, ISIS and other takfiri terrorists its proxy army battling Assad, what Times editors, columnists, correspondents, and contributors disgracefully suppress, what’s vital to report. The Times claiming Washington and rogue allies are “preparing to open a major front” against ISIS in ...

US and Rogue Allies Plot Plan B in Syria by Stephen Lendman Putin’s righteous intervention in Syria disrupts Washington’s regional imperial agenda - neocons infesting Obama’s administration on the back foot, flummoxed on what to do next. Their reaction awaits. Expect endless propaganda war, as well as increased support for ISIS and other takfiri terrorists, maybe plans to destabilize other regional countries - Iran, Lebanon and perhaps greater conflict in Iraq than already. Possibly another US direct or proxy war elsewhere. London’s Guardian got it backwards suggesting Moscow’s intervention was “more provocative than decisive” - the same notion ...

Whitewashing US/Saudi War Crimes in Yemen by Stephen Lendman America is a rogue state of unparalleled pure evil, masquerading as a democracy, run by bipartisan criminals, fascist neocons, serving powerful monied interests and their own. Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s vilest regimes, a fascist police state, partnering with America’s regional aggression, supplying chemical and other terror weapons to ISIS and other takfiris, ruthlessly waging war on Yemen, committing horrendous high crimes - Obama’s war, planned and orchestrated in Washington, the US and Riyadh complicit in creating a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.

Putin Irresponsibly Bashed for Doing the Right Thing by Stephen Lendman The entire free world wants terrorism defeated. Russia leads the effort to confront it head-on, a righteous undertaking despite the risks. Putin’s initiative deserves universal praise. Contrary to US propaganda, it’s already making a difference. More on this below. Administration and Pentagon officials claiming it’ll strengthen ISIS, prolong war, and increase human suffering is pure rubbish - willful misinformation and Big Lies. They keep coming nonstop, part of longstanding anti-Putin US policy for outrageous reasons - his independence and support for nation-state sovereignty, urging mutual ...

Coverup! US Bombs Slaughter Doctors Without Borders Team, Crush Hospital By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor on October 3, 2015 Afghanistan: MSF Staff Killed, Hospital Partially Destroyed in Kunduz Editor’s note: The Pentagon and President Obama have failed to take responsibility for this war crime, certainly not an accident. Only a few days earlier, the Taliban shot down an American C130J aircraft with 11 onboard, also another American secret as well. It seems making up bizarre accusations about the very successful Russian air campaign in Syria which is magically finding one major target after another that America’s drones and satellites could not, is taking up all of ...

US Warplanes Willfully Attack an Afghan Hospital by Stephen Lendman A same day article discussed what happened briefly. This one covers updated information. US- claimed “collateral damage” when explaining civilian targets struck reflects willful coverup and denial. America has precision munitions, able to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy. Its forces knew the coordinates of the Kunduz, Afghanistan hospital. The only plausible explanation for what happened was cold, calculated, deliberate murder. US warplanes bombed the hospital for over an hour - the first strike at 2:10AM. Hospital staff notified NATO officials in Kabul minutes later. Bombing continued until 3:13AM. It ...

"Fighter jets have performed 20 sorties and hit nine Islamic State installations.” A surgical airstrike by Russian fighter jets has knocked out the battle headquarters of a jihadist group near Raqqa, according to Russian Defense Ministry. Operating from the Khmeimim airbase, the Russian Air Force continues to inflict pinpoint strikes on Islamic State installations. “Over the past 24 hours, Sukhoi Su-34 and Su-24M fighter jets have performed 20 sorties and hit nine Islamic State installations,” Igor Konashenkov, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman, reported.

Group works closely with al-Nusra in Syria A Soros linked NGO operating in Syria with the al-Qaeda terrorist group al-Nusra is fabricating reports of civilian casualties, according to Twitter posts. The group, dubbed the “White Helmets,” posted the image on Twitter. The image was subsequently revealed to be misleading — it shows a girl injured on September 25, 2015, days before the Russian bombing campaign against the CIA’s jihadist “rebels” operating in the country. According to Sputnik, a Russian news website, the photo was tweeted hours before the Russian Parliament authorized the use of military action in Syria. Investigative journalist and peace ...

It had to happen. It was always inevitable that the U.S. government’s much- vaunted “war on terrorism” would devolve into absolute chaos, especially by attracting authoritarian and totalitarian regimes into the “war on terrorism” maelstrom. Ever since President George W. Bush declared his much-ballyhooed “war on terrorism,” we have seen authoritarian and totalitarian regimes infringe on or destroy the civil liberties of their citizenry, citing the “war on terrorism” as their justification. Bashing down people’s doors in warrantless searches, arbitrary arrests, indefinite detention, torture, assassination. The war on terrorism has become a ...

Polar Opposite US/Russian Agendas in Syria by Stephen Lendman Washington wants regime change, replacing Bashar al-Assad with a US selected puppet. Its strategy features naked aggression, transforming a peaceful nation threatening no one into an endless cauldron of violence, chaos and instability, causing enormous harm to millions of Syrians. Words can’t explain their suffering. US imperial policy bears full responsibility, complicit with Israel, wanting a regional rival removed, more Syrian territory stolen, both nations pursuing their Greater Middle East agenda, strategies involving endless wars of aggression. Russian policy is polar opposite. Putin, Dmitry Medvedev, Sergey Lavrov ...

Obama Irresponsibly Bashes Putin by Stephen Lendman Obama is responsible for more deaths, destruction and human misery than any of his predecessors - continuing Bush’s AfPak and Iraq wars, waging his own on Libya, Syria, Donbass, and Yemen, as well as partnering with Israeli aggression three times against defenseless Gazans. He’s an unindicted war criminal multiples times over, a serial liar, a moral coward - an embarrassment to legitimate governance. Removing him from high office should be a national priority. On Friday, he held his first press conference since Putin declared REAL war on ISIS in Syria, polar opposite his PHONY humanitarian intervention - using ISIS and other ...

Obama’s Phony War on ISIS by Stephen Lendman Obama’s so-called intention to degrade and destroy ISIS is a complete fabrication - a Big Lie blasted worldwide by Western media, concealing what’s really going on. Washington uses ISIS and other takfiri terrorists as Pentagon foot soldiers, waging war on Assad, wanting another regional country transformed into a US vassal state, no matter the cost in human lives and suffering. On August 8, 2014, Washington began bombing first Iraqi, then Syrian targets weeks later, not ISIS as claimed, operating illegally without Security Council authorization or permission from Damascus. Heavy pressure forced Baghdad to go along. The Defense ...
