Report: Russian Marines Battle ISIS In Syria, IS Possesses “Satellite Imagery” Of Base By Brandon Turbeville As the conflict in Syria continues to escalate, it has been reported by Russian media that Russian Marines stationed at an airbase in Latakia have now engaged ISIS fighters in direct combat. According to Russian news website, Segodnia, ISIS militants attempted to ambush the Russian soldiers stationed at the base but were fought off by the Russian marines, with a number of ISIS fighters being killed and some captured. Russian military activity has been increasing at the airbase near Latakia over recent days with the arrival of new and advanced Russian fighter jets, according to reports. Combat between Russian forces and ISIS militants marks a drastic increase in the level of conflict in Syria, adding an even greater international aspect to it as well. With Russia now openly providing the Assad government with missiles, missile defense systems, advisers, helicopters, satellite imagery, and fighter jets (particularly those being flown by Russian pilots), the Russians now stand directly in opposition to the United States pilots, jet fighters, and special forces operatives on the ground in Syria supporting the death squads (even if the official U.S. line is publicly opposed to ISIS and supportive of “moderate” cannibals). Thus, we now have the growing potential for direct military confrontation between the two major world powers, both of them armed with nuclear weapons. The United States has supported terrorists in Syria since the very beginning of the conflict while the Russians have provided tangential but growing support for the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. The fact that Russians are now engaged in combat in Syria now greatly increases the likelihood that the two opposing superpowers may “accidentally” or even intentionally find themselves in direct conflict with one another in Syria. Yet, while the Russian marines fighting off ISIS attacks is news enough, perhaps the most important revelation is that, according to Segodnia, the ISIS fighters apparently had detailed plans of the base as well as clear satellite imagery of the military installations located there. The question then becomes, how did ISIS, a terrorist organization which has yet to launch its own satellites into orbit, acquire such sensitive and important material? If the Segodnia report is to be believed, and with the United States, NATO, Israel, and the GCC, having supported the death squads in Syria, it seems we may have some idea of where they were able to procure satellite images.

We'll see who is dumb when this plays out. So far Putin is proving to be the far more superior chess player.

You remind me of Obama, big on rhetoric and hyperbole, while Putin quietly initiates actions. Better reserve your pity for the needy.

Yey because, nevermind, how the USA let Putin know 3 weeks ago that they see right through his chess plays. Wow. You really are dumb. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/09/kerry-nato-warn-russia-military-acts-syria-150910052623584.html Kerry and NATO warn Russia over military acts in Syria Images reportedly shows Russia pressing ahead with a military buildup in Syria, but Moscow says it is only bringing aid. 10 Sep 2015 Kerry warned his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in a phone call that Moscow's reported move could fan more violence in Syria [AFP] US Secretary of State John Kerry has expressed his concern over reports of Russian military activities in Syria, warning that it could fan more violence, a state department spokesman said. Spokesman John Kirby told reporters in the US on Wednesday that Kerry made clear in a phone call to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that if the reports were true "it could lead to greater violence and are not helpful at all" to efforts by the international community to end the conflict. Earlier on Wednesday, US officials claimed that Russia is pressing ahead with its military buildup in Syria. Aerial imagery indicated that Russia is focusing on Bassel al-Assad International Airport, south of Latakia on Syria's Mediterranean coast, and on the Russian naval facility in Tartus, the AFP news agency reported. Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary-General, expressed a similar reaction to Kerry, saying the move "will not contribute to solving the conflict". "I think it is important to now support all efforts to find a political solution to the conflict in Syria. We support very much the efforts by the UN." One US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AFP news agency that two tank-landing ships have recently arrived at Tartus and about a dozen Russian armoured personnel carriers are now at the Bassel al-Assad airport, named after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's older brother. The official said dozens of Russian naval infantry had arrived in Syria, but their role was likely to protect incoming military hardware rather than a boots-on-the-ground deployment. In addition, another giant Antonov-124 Condor military transporter had flown into the airport, bringing the total number of transport flights to at least four in recent days. The developments further complicate the deadly crisis in Syria, where the conflict has claimed nearly 250,000 lives since 2011 and triggered a massive outflow of refugees - many of whom are fleeing to Europe. Moscow insists it is bringing humanitarian aid to a stricken nation, but the US, which is attacking the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group in Syria, is worried Russia is preparing to assist militarily and strike rebel groups to help prop up long-time ally Assad. Syria has denied reports of increased military activity by Russian troops on its soil. |
