      I think we’ll be troubled in Syria, it’s a long time and the situation is muddy, but our western and not so borders need to be freed as soon as possible, while maintaining strong pressure on the classical countries of Western Europe, not paying attention to all this eastern riffraff

              And here are my posts? I can see it all on the Internet just like you. I am not in Syria or in the Russian General Staff. What they posted on the network, I threw it here. As for the blue square, they previously closed the coastal area before the planned chemical provocation of the White Helmets.

      Easy to say. Without the capture of the Idlib viper, there is no need to talk about the end of the civil war in Syria. Neither the United States, nor the West, nor even Turkey will allow the Idlib zone to be cleaned. So there are still challenges ahead for us in Syria

            And judging by your answer, you clearly suggested solving the problem by force. Then express your thoughts more clearly.
            Diplomats and scouts are good when the state (Russia) has strong trump cards in their hands! So far, in addition to banning tomatoes from the Turkish Sultan, I don’t see them !? We have one ally (Iran) and that border does not have Syria, Israel presses Hezbollah on the territory of Syria and so far treats us tolerantly. On this our pluses end, and now about the cons.
            The Bosphorus is the most unpleasant factor. Syria is far from us and it is problematic to supply our units and units of the Syrian army. Iraq? Iraq is under the protectorate of the United States and in the event of a serious deterioration of the situation, it’s no help to us. Turkey has a border with Syria and Erdogan’s arm is a pretty group of Turkoman and other moderate bastards, and this is a force, which, incidentally, needs to be reckoned with and I’m not talking about the Turkish military on the very land of Syria. Turkey is a member of NATO and always will be! From time to time she will pounce in the staff stall and fulfill the will of her master. Erdogan will firmly defend his interests in Syria, as we have all seen recently. (this does not apply to you) The whole liberation operation stumbled into the Idlib impasse and the GDP itself does not dare to go further, and you are talking about diplomats.
            And the question is: what for Turkey to make us such concessions (Idlib) if all the trump cards are in their hands?

            Do not use irons as a radio? Sober-minded people very clearly understand that the former Syria will no longer be and we are not so omnipotent that we would solve all Assad’s problems there.
            Our diplomats and scouts (honor and praise to them) are not wizards.

        Barack Obama is dying. After 10 years, he becomes bored, and he asks God to let him go to Earth to see how his country is doing. God is letting go.
        Obama in New York comes to the bar, orders a beer and asks the bartender how the country is doing, how it is developing, what problems it solves.
        The barman is surprised:
        - What problems can be? We are a great empire, everything around us.
        - How is ours? And Iraq, Afghanistan?
        - Yes, everything is already ours!
        - And Europe, Africa, the Middle East?
        The bartender takes out a globe from under the rack and twists it proudly:
        - I say - we are an empire, the whole world belongs to us!
        Obama, joyful, proud and contented, finishes his beer and says:
        - Well, thanks, friend! How much do I have to pay?
        Bartender:
        - One ruble and twenty kopecks ...

      You can safely visit almost any place in that region (with the possible exception of the Bahamas. There, in my opinion, a British visa is needed), without any training. This was only possible in Cuba during the Soviet Union, and even then it was a VERY big pull.

    The number of submarines sharply contrasts with the declared number of ships, which include a 22-year-old BDK. Rezeva were not formed to reinforce a group of sieges. Ship repair failed. There are no reconnaissance aircraft and Tu-3MXNUMXM bombers.

        It’s a one-sided run-in. With the complete absence of training for aviation officers through DOSAAF, run-in is only for the enemy who does not have organized air defense and electronic warfare.

    The site is closed, apparently, for Isil.
    The US Navy P-8A Poseidon patrol plane flew over a closed sea area near Syria, where the Russian Navy exercises were held.

    On Saturday, December 15, Interfax reports .....
    According to the publication, the aircraft cruised for about an hour 30 km from the coast of Syria in the vicinity of the Khmeimim air base and the logistics base in the port of Tartus.

    It is noted that the P-8A Poseidon headed to the training area, ignoring warnings about the closure of airspace.
