CNN: Russia is ready to strike at the territory with the American base of Al-Tanf

61
The American television channel CNN, named by the President of the United States as a “fake television channel,” released a material in which it claims that Russia allegedly twice in the last week notified the United States of its readiness to strike on that part of the Syrian territory where there are “dozens of US military” Tass

CNN: Russia is ready to strike at the territory with the American base of Al-Tanf




At the same time, the channel refers to its own sources in the Pentagon, which claim that the greatest concern of Washington is the security of American troops at the base of Et-Tanf in the province of Homs. This is due to the statement of Moscow that "militants of terrorist groups are under the protection of the US military in this territory." At the same time, the Pentagon fears that the Russian side may apply Aviation or their warships "for launching a missile strike against those whom Moscow calls militants."

CNN claims that on this occasion, Washington allegedly "warned Moscow about the danger of challenging the US military presence," as this could lead to confrontation in the event of an unintended defeat of the US military "during an inaccurate Russian missile strike." In connection with this, the channel reports, the US military "recommends Moscow to stay away from Al-Tanfa", since "the United States is ready for retaliatory actions."

      Shaking your biceps is all that the United States has left before leaving Syria. They will scream, scare ... Knowing full well that in reality the Russian response will be too painful. And of course they won’t do it. Why do they need it all. It will not even be Vietnam. If you put Syria on the scales and the consequences of the clash between the United States and Russia, after all this, no one will have any more interests in Syria.

        the question is whether Russia will do this. Or do you seriously think that Russia will begin to iron the barmalei in the circle of American military personnel, that I doubt such an outcome. Russia is very weak in this theater of operations, and this is perfectly understood in the Kremlin. Therefore, even a local war with the forces of a serious enemy will not be unleashed. We do not have a serious surface fleet, there are no powerful air defense ships capable of containing massive missile attacks, and we do have a submarine fleet and in part it can fulfill some tasks, but no more. On land, if you face your foreheads with the United States and their allies in the Middle East region, then the advantage is not in our favor. Yes, elementary ordinary logistics are lame even in peacetime. Therefore, if you put aside the window dress and patriotic bravado, before taking a step in the direction of a military clash from the United States, you need to think ten times whether we will pull this clash in this even limited region.

          Will start - it will not start, of course, is another question. But the Americans should play on the nerves. It is possible that they themselves will get out of there. To avoid, so to speak. They will declare their complete and unconditional victory and will be removed. Of course, everything will not be as simple as I wrote, but without demonstrating serious intentions, the Yankees will never leave of their own free will.

            In my unprofessional opinion, we have one advantage in the region over the USA:

            we are able to strike from our territory, both from the waters of the Caspian Sea and from the air

            In this case, they will have to strike back at the territory of Russia, and this is completely different

              Well, they too can strike from the Persian Gulf. And airstrikes from aircraft carriers.
              In this case, they will have to strike back at the territory of Russia

              Each ship - American, Russian, French, Japanese, etc. - is the territory of the country under whose flag it flies. And a blow to him is regarded as a blow to the territory of a given state.
              Russia now really has nothing to oppose the United States and NATO in the payment of the Navy. But there is an essential point - the United States always evaluates military operations in terms of "acceptable losses." They do not "fight to the death" and do not "fight to the last bullet." So, any collision with the Russian Navy ends with the complete destruction of the latter, but it definitely leads to absolutely unacceptable losses. Therefore, even having a significant superiority, they do not get involved with us in direct conflicts.

                This is not news, but you must admit, one when they strike a ship in the Persian Gulf and
                completely different when they strike at a base in Norfolk or San Diego

                It is one thing to exchange strikes on ships and remote bases, and quite another on cities and territories of the country.

                No matter how much they pull their ships into the bays, we have more opportunities on their land and they understand this

                Now such a situation is that no one can concede but they are afraid to cross the line, therefore even the norms of the Cold War can already be revised


                It is probably stupid to talk about such things, but we are already somewhere close to such a reality ...

              why should they strike in Russia? they can strike at Russian forces and means precisely in the Mediterranean region. In particular, according to our bases, forces in the air and on water. This is if the conflict persists within the local limited in the region. And I am afraid that having excellent logistics, the military bases in the vicinity were covered by a NATO bloc, ALLIES in the Middle East region equipped with advanced weapons systems, and not without our help, including, we won’t last long there. Therefore, a local conflict will not be in our favor. Therefore, we need to give clear signals that the local conflict in our case will not work, that we will slaughter everyone and everything far beyond the borders of the Mediterranean region.

                We can strike at their bases from the Caspian Sea and from the air over Russia, then they will have no advantage.

                And what should they do in this case?
                Will either leave or strike at Russia.

                And which US allies will go for it?
                And are they themselves ready for such a development of events?

                They will have to stop, and they already have losses, the whole world will conclude that the United States lost to Russia and deflated and that nobody needs their bases, like their weapons, there is a political crisis inside the United States.

                It turns out this logic, which means they should not be allowed to clash with Russia.

                That’s why a new round with skripals and everything else, because they have no real opportunity to stop Russia in Syria.

                there is one delicate moment. the last time out of 107 missiles fired, the target was only struck by those that attacked unguarded air defense systems. so with the level of security of Russian and Syrian facilities, everything is less or less clear, but with the level of security of American facilities, everything is not very clear. Considering how the United States is fidgeting, it seems that things are bad and they cannot guarantee the protection of their facilities.
                most likely the United States will go to reputational losses and dumped from Syria. a different scenario is much worse even if it is NOT nuclear.

          Laughing for a long time.
          The entire US military doctrine (non-nuclear version) of the past 30 years, was built precisely around Tomogavk cruise missiles.
          And as practice has shown, the effectiveness of Tomogavkov was greatly exaggerated.
          It was released 59 !!!! Tomogavkov on the airfield and the airfield continued to function.
          With such efficiency, the amers will not have enough of all cruise missiles, from all the carriers located in that area, at the Khmeimim base.
          Regarding the ground forces - if we take our motorized rifle division and the American one, then the amers have no chance. And these are the words of American analysts.

    The Russian leadership either does not understand what it can come to with such strange threats, or vice versa - deliberately leads the case to forced isolation. It's hard to say what's in their heads. The question: is the fight against mythical international terrorism worth such consequences - no one asks. Putin began an adventure in Syria under the slogan of "fighting on the distant approaches" against the scumbag renegades. Three years later, the option of a direct clash with the leading countries of the world is already being seriously discussed. What is the profit for the country of such exercises of insane leadership - it is impossible to reasonably explain.

      The "Jerusalem Post" did not describe in detail what Israel was giving to the terrorists)) iiiiiii not only about fuel and rations)) but also quite a huge amount of weapons) which, according to our stellar, Israel never transmitted to the militants)))) for some reason, they deleted the article a few days later) they don’t take themselves to their loved ones not comme il faut))

      Three years later, the option of a direct clash with the leading countries of the world is already being seriously discussed.

      They attack us and not we attack them. Your speech is not at the address. Go resent the English Internet segment - there they will accept you as their own.

    Pure Water Browada CNN, laughing
    "with an inaccurate missile strike by the Russians"
    This is when we had inaccurate strikes? As they said in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, we get into the handle of a spade.

    It was necessary to act purely on American - to strike, and then say, well, nothing bad happened

    You need to rip you off the couch and offer to dig a full profile trench, as required by the Charter, and of course meet the norm.
    I need to get off the couch.)))
    I did not serve, and I do not know - what is the standard for a trench. Can you tell me - the time and size of a single cell? I'm going to dig a cellar - I'll look at my capabilities.))

    CNN is right: militants feel comfortable under US protection.
    Actually, Trump was right when he said: "fake TV channel"

    Oh well. Maybe we will count? NATO base in Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Turkey ... continue? And will we organize the transportation of ammunition underground? About the number of our missiles against the Americans, also a separate conversation.

    You can count as many as you like, the only question is what kind of victims (of course I wouldn’t want to) are the United States prepared for using what you listed.

    CNN claims that on this occasion, Washington allegedly "warned Moscow about the danger of challenging the US military presence," as this could lead to confrontation in the event of an unintended defeat of the US military "during an inaccurate Russian missile strike." In connection with this, the channel reports, the US military "recommends Moscow to stay away from Al-Tanfa", since "the United States is ready for retaliatory actions."
    Laughter laughing and only - SNN came up with the horror story itself and it itself menacingly answered laughing First, we launch the duck that Russia warned the geldings, and then we shout sharply at Russia and it does not strike. It turns out that Russia was afraid of the mattress laughing SNN has worked on the information front, "bent" Russia, now Russians will say that Russia has drifted.
    Once again, we need to attack Et Tanfu, there are Syrians for this, but we only need to arm them (by the way, Iran too), and then we will see how the mattresses strike Syria, where Russian military instructors are located. To defeat Syria, in the territory of which Russia is officially located, the mattress will not be able to, only everyone will be offended.
    So SNN is fake news.

    You just need to destroy this American occupational aggression base in Syria.
    If I were the president of Russia Russian Orthodox Christian, I would have done so.
    Vote for me! And the United States would be silent in a little rag. Because if it began to fight after the destruction of the US base in Syria against Russian Orthodox Christian Russia, against Russian Orthodox Christians, the Russian Orthodox Christian people, this United States would become part of the Russian Orthodox Christian Russia !
