At approximately 3:00 am, on September 30 2015, one of Russia’s top military officials marched into the US Embassy at Baghdad to deliver a very important letter. Inside he asked to speak to the highest ranking man on the premises. The letter, which is called a demarche, was to inform the US that Russia would begin airstrikes over Syria in approximately two hours and for the US to leave Syria.
In response Obama, shocked, sent in his Defense Secretary and Secretary of State. Obama himself, did not speak to the American people. He called on his Defense Secretary, Ash Carter, who appeared in an impromptu press conference. Ash Carter appeared like a deer in the headlights as he talked about women in the military, about military budgets, and oh yes, Russia is bombing in Syria. Watching him in totality it seemed the man was slightly confused. Later, reports start coming in that in the northern part of Syria, bombs were landing on everything but ISIS. Russia was hitting groups of militia armed by the US, as of this writing it has been confirmed civilian casualties have been sustained.
This action by Putin and Russia flies in the face of his coming to the rescue to lead the battle to defeat ISIS. Putin is doing what he said he would do, he was there to keep Assad in power. As far as Russia making ISIS go away for good, that is not his priority. Humiliating the US? Yes. Making Obama look weak and a man not in reality? Yes.
Just what are Putin’s goals for the Middle East?
Yep. For sure
Yes
No distortion here. We are in an orwellian age where we are getting half truth at best thru our own media. Its like people like getting lied to on a regular basis. once that assad guy is gone they will try to finish their planned caliphate and then what? An even bigger vaccume of extremism is what will happen
That muslim brotherhood leader morsi was caught on tape threatening to attack our nation. Im glad that punk is in a thick cell in Egypt.
Isis is opposition to Assad. With all those rebel groups working with each other, I can’t blame Putin for cleaning house.
Obama cain’t handle any problem, so what’s new.
I wish I had a video of the letter handing over, what a great bedtime story, to be enjoyed over and over….
I wonder if this is a final straw for Americans ,
This is the beginning of our next war. Obama has weakened our military, brought isis into our country, and has made Putin a world leader. No country respects the U.S. They know our leaders are weak and stupid. They can’t wait for us to vote in a powerful leader. We are next!
The difference is he is wide oped and told the OBAMA Administration he would support Assad! Did they think that he would not bomb his opposition? Really it caught the OBAMA Administration by surprise! That’s simply not true! John Kerry! Can he really be that dam stupid? They are so intent in not offending Muslims they really don’t give a Dam! As long as he had his IRAN Deal!
