All Right-minded People Must Support Russia in Syria

At last some sensible action from Russia to the chagrin of the US and EU. Russian jets have pounded near-uncivilized terrorists in Syria who have already killed close to a quarter of a million people. USA and KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) funded FSA (Free Syria Army) to fight against popular leader Assad. But the chaos gave rise to Saudi and Qatar funded Sunni terrorists mainly the ISIS. Since then it has been utter chaos. Europe was punished with a steady stream of refugees escaping fighting in Syria, Libya and Iraq – all US creations.
However, Russia has been already warned by USA and KSA to stop attacking their darling terrorists. Chechnyan terrorists were financed by these groups as well as the Mujahidin (which later graduated to Al Qaeda) in Afghanistan in 1980s. Russia must be mindful of repercussions of its operations in a region logic and proper senses have no place. Russia must not hesitate to militarily neutralize threats emanating from Saudi Arabia by way of financing anti-Russian activities. Such a move would also boost petroleum prices saving Russia from its current economic meltdown. Such a bold move by Russia will turn Russia, Iran (in deep economic crisis due to low oil prices and years under sanctions) and Venezuela (another country in economic crisis) into super rich nations overnight. A halfhearted approach will not yield results. It is the expectation of these nations that look up to Russian leaders to guide them out of misery.
If all non-ISIS terrorist groups can be exterminated or substantially weakened by the bombing campaign, it will leave only the Assad government and ISIS as influential stakeholders in Syria. In that event, the west will have to go with Assad even reluctantly than join forces with ISIS.
Saudi Arabia is running out of options and friends. Contrary to its interests, USA lifted sanctions against Iran over Saudi funding ISIS terrorists. Faced with another problem after Yemen, plaguing family crises in the ruling family and a nagging economic crisis due to low oil prices, Saudi will have to bow down to Russian pressure or face worse consequences of outright war. USA and UK will not come to its rescue as they too fear for their own economies after decades of unwinnable wars.

I just simply love Putin,
He is balancing the world now.
If not for MR’s blunder to hold early election, we will be on the right camp.
But for our own mistakes we are on the bad guy’s camp.
It may have happened for a good reason. We should keep watching!!
LieTTE die-ass-pora has been hit by a small missile due to US action of diluting the UNHCR proposal. It is still poisonous and we should keep protesting and protesting so that it can not be implemented as planned and they ditch it due to frustration. Then, it will give a nuclear bomb to LieTTE die-ass-pora.

Putin must be admired for his fearless actions against terror. If no Russia and China Americans will act like Lord of the Jungle taming and harassing small countries like us. This evil Satan as Chavez described shouldn’t be allowed to dance as he pleased.Someone should keep him at bay somehow. Putin is the hero for small countries like us. We should follow him and shouldn’t be afraid of Americans or the west.Be like MR and Putin to save the world from American hegemony around the world.
Gays and Prostitutes have a gala time now with this new western backed Siri/Wicky combination as they were following all American way of life. Any deaf and blind guy can understand what these two American backed traitors are going to do to our beloved homeland with their undemocratic rule. They damn care about the Sinhala race or the Sinhala land they do what their white advisers are requesting them to do without any shame. May God saves Motherlanka from these political vultures.

China’s military advisers ‘heading to Syria to help fight ISIS’ – report

China will be helping out the Syrian government in the fight against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS) by sending “military advisers,” media reports have claimed.

Islamic State
“The Chinese will be arriving in the coming weeks,” a Syrian army official told the Lebanon-based news website Al-Masdar Al-‘Arabi.
The report claims that a Chinese naval vessel is on its way to Syria with dozens of “military advisers” on board. They will reportedly be followed by troops.
The ship is said to have passed the Suez Canal in Egypt and be making its way through the Mediterranean Sea.
According to the website, the advisers will be joining Russian personnel in the Latakia region.
Meanwhile, an Israeli military news website, DEBKAfile, has cited military sources as saying that a Chinese aircraft carrier, the Liaoning-CV-16, has already been spotted at the Syrian port of Tartus on the Mediterranean coast. It was said to be accompanied by a guided missile cruiser.
The news comes after Russia, Iran, Iraq and Syria agreed to establish a joint information center in Baghdad to coordinate their operations against Islamic State militants, according to sources.
“The main goal of the center will be gathering, processing and analyzing current information about the situation in the Middle East – primarily for fighting IS,” a military-diplomatic source told Russian news agencies on Saturday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was recently asked about Russia’s presence in Syria, to which he replied that Russia’s activities are limited to supplying weapons to the Syrian government, training personnel and providing humanitarian aid for the Syrian people.
“We act based on the United Nations Charter, i.e. the fundamental principles of modern international law, according to which this or that type of aid, including military assistance, can and must be provided exclusively to the legitimate government of one country or another, upon its consent or request, or upon the decision of the United Nations Security Council,” Putin told CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ show.
Putin reiterated his support for Syria’s regular army – the army of President Bashar Assad. “He [Assad] is confronted with what some of our international partners interpret as an opposition. In reality, Assad’s army is fighting against terrorist organizations,” Putin said.
Russia’s president added that US attempts to train a Syrian opposition to take on Islamic State have failed. The US had aimed to prepare up to 12,000 fighters, but only 60 managed to complete the training and only four or five actually fought with the opposition, while others fled to IS with American weapons, Putin said, citing US Senate hearings.
“In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter,” he said.
Back in December, 2014, China offered to help Iraq in fighting Islamic State militants, volunteering to assist with airstrikes, but said it would not join the US-led coalition against ISIS.
In one of the latest atrocities committed by IS, the terror group used an online magazine to post pictures of two hostages, one Norwegian and one Chinese, putting the men up “for sale.”

The head of the Chechen Republic has asked the Russian president to send Chechen units to fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria, adding that his fighters have sworn to fight terrorists till the end.

Russian anti-terror op in Syria, Syria unrest
“This is not idle talk, I am asking for permission to go there and participate in special operations,” Ramzan Kadyrov said in the Friday interview with the RSN radio. “Being a Muslim, a Chechen and a Russian patriot I want to say that in 1999 when our republic was overrun with these devils we swore on the Koran that we would fight them wherever they are,” the Chechen leader said.
“But we need the Commander-in-Chief’s decision to do this,” he emphasized. According to the Russian Constitution, the president is also the commander-in-chief of the military forces.

USA strategies are not working as they expect to maintain their global leadersip. They are becoming worse than the terrorist where developing countries are concerned. USA has already lost its punch it is no more like the days when all powerful CIA infiltrated into states to destabilise and murder the local political leaders. Every thin has an end and it will be not lung USA will suffer from rebounding effect of their viral politics of changing regimes and aiding rebels.
