Propaganda as subtle as anything the Nazis and Soviets ever did

Today's headline from the Mail Online:


Russia sends warship to Syria in support of Assad (whose soldiers have killed 256 children)

Assuming they were killed by Assads soldiers and not the armed Muslim insurgents.

In your critique of what Russia should/should have done, you don’t have much critique for your fellow Muslim brother states in the Mid East causing all these insurrections and been a water bearer for Islamic conquest and genocide against Orthodox bothers and sisters in the Balkans and North Caucasus supported by the main stream and international Muslim communities and society which was/is all but happy to raise the Islamic flag over cleansed Christian lands with full US/EU/NATO support.

As I predicted Egypt has been in a constant chaos since the revolution.

Did you really think anything else other than anarchy would have emerged from the ouster of Mubarak?

Check this from AL Jazeera:

What Davutoglu also said was this "Any scenario will involve Turkey". There are also news coming out that Turkey is transporting fighters from Libya to Syria...

Dear Saker;


That's not all the Russians are doing in our region this week. I think you'll like their other activities a bit better....


THE “Admiral Kuznetsov” class aircraft carrier is currently off the coast of Malta and heading for eastern Mediterranean from their base in the Barents Sea.....Informed sources; Russian navy and Israeli military will hold joint exercises close to Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone.....

Russia is eying all that Oil and Gas in the Eastern Mediterranean, and couldn't care less about "politics" on the ground all around.....

No Comment....; what's yours?

Best,

Joe

@Joe: well there you have it: Russia will run exercises with Israel...

BTW - Putin's Russia has a rather cozy relationship with Israel. Neither side really loves the other, but they both need each other for many different reasons. Also, and that is curious, while anti-Jewish feelings are definitely present in Russia, anti-US feelings are MUCH stronger and widespread, and a lot of Russians view Israel as a sort of "cousin" since there are a lot of Russian Jews (and even non-Jewish Russians) in Israel.

As for the Kuznetsov, it is doing what the USN calls a "showing the flag" mission. This is not about threatening anybody (most definitely not NATO or Israel), but about showing capabilities and presence. If you look at the Russian naval doctrine, the Kuznetsov is a means to extend a Russian air defense zone, mostly to protect Russian nuclear submarines. Militarily speaking, the Kuznetsov has absolutely no business being in the Mediterranean. These trips are also good training trips for the Russian crews and they are feel-good trips for the Russian media, but these are not military deployments or a form of power projection.

For all of us the memories of the Cold War as still present, of course, but I will never cease to mantrically repeat this absolutely fundamental and crucial truth

====>>>RUSSIA IS NOT THE SOVIET UNION<<<<====
