ITAR-TASS reports that a Syrian fighter struck an airstrike on Qaim city located in western Iraq. As a result of the shelling, 20 was killed and 93 people were injured. According to local media, the blow fell on a busy street market.

Syrian air force fighter struck the Iraqi city of Al-Qaim


Qaim is located on the border with the Syrian Republic. A few days ago, he was captured by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group. Fighting for the city, located in 550-km from Baghdad (Anbar province), were fought from Friday, June 20. The government army retreated, losing the killed 34 soldiers.

For the militants, Al-Qaim is an extremely important strategic point, since its location allows for free transportation of weapons across the Iraqi-Syrian border.

On Sunday, June 22, it became known that Islamists seized three more cities in Anbar province - Al-Rutba, Ana and Rava. Before the arrival of the militants government forces left these settlements.

As the spokesman for the command of the Iraqi armed forces, General Kasem Ata, later stated, the retreat was a tactical maneuver.

Recall that the Sunni extremists, united by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant movement and their sympathizing radical formations, began an offensive in the north of the country in mid-June and captured a number of settlements. Government troops could not provide decent resistance to extremists.

Then the Iraqi authorities appealed to the United States with a request to strike at militants from the air. But the Americans are not in a hurry with military help, saying that they need additional information about the situation in Iraq.

                But what do you mean by the introduction of troops? If in Syria, thugs of several thousand people from ISIS are operating, sponsored and supported in every possible way by Saudi Arabia, can this be called troop deployment? No? Okay If several thousand Hezbollah fighters, sponsored and supported by Iran, who are starting to wet ISIS, are being flown to Syria, is this the deployment of troops? No? Okay

                Yes, I generally drum all of these formulations! Saudi Arabia (now alone without the United States) is fighting in Syria against the allies of Iran and Syria. Now the war (full-scale, mind you war) has spread to Iraq, which is weak. Both Iran and Syria will fight for Iraq. What other troops do you need to bring in and where so that a full-scale war becomes even more full-scale?

                If you think that the bearded man is America’s project, then these people will not trample 100% in Israel. There are two options. If they manage to win in Syria, then they will trample against Hezbollah in Lebanon, if they can strengthen in Iraq, then they will trample in Iran. Shiites are for them enemies worse than Jews.
                And yet, the bearded men have not completely lost their brains. They know that Israel will erase them. Israel will not wait until they pray to Allah five times a day. And Iraq and Syria allow, therefore they themselves also pray))

          First, they will take control of northern Africa, Arabia is loyal to them, then the ground will be ready for uprisings in Central and Central Asia, since already in the religious schools of Saudi Arabia, Wahhabite preachers who come from Asia have long been trained and will soon return home to spread the "correct "Islam. Well, if they manage to take Asia, then they will try to join Russia to the Caliphate. Unfortunately, in our country, work is underway to strengthen the Wahhabi underground not only in the Caucasus, but also in the Volga region, even Siberia.
          Here's how to interpret the words of that preacher, I suppose.

        Zavoruha is already 11 years old. What is happening in Iraq is very dangerous for the whole of Eurasia, but new opportunities also appear.
        There is no capture of cities, they were already under the rule of ISIS. The same Al-Fallujah was "captured" back in December. ISIS simply entered the operational space. This gives Shiites an opportunity to cleanse Iraq of Sunnis, which they can now do without looking back at the "civilian population". So the Sunnis can still get out of hand, they are putting their own population at risk from aviation and artillery.

      By the way, I watched a fresh story with Zhirinovsky (on Echo of Moscow on June 17, 2014), where he directly offers the United States the exchange of Ukraine for Syria ... So, since when did the militants flooded in Iraq? ... Maybe on the sidelines somewhere he also voiced the position of Russia (?)? Well, like when they started "bombing" Luzhkov ...
      I already wrote earlier that it looks like if ISIS, at the suggestion of “whoever needs it,” went through Iraq to take heavy equipment, and now to Syria ... And now, after Syria's strike on Iraq, Turkey can openly connect after ISIS invaded Syria. True, here Iran will probably be forced to connect with all that it implies, i.e. regional war. I'm just wondering - as an option ...

      And here is the confirmation of these thoughts:
      "Today, on June 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a proposal to the Federation Council (SF) to cancel the permission to use the country's armed forces on the territory of Ukraine, adopted on March 1. According to the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, this proposal was submitted to the Federation Council" in order to normalize the situation and resolve the situation in the eastern regions of Ukraine, as well as in connection with the beginning of trilateral negotiations on this issue "" ...

      Immediately connected with articles propaganda:
      “Now someone will certainly scream that Putin surrendered Donbass, surrendered Novorossiya, threw heroic militias to be devoured by the junta, etc. But what actually changed after Putin gave up the right to use troops in Ukraine? now the enthusiasm will diminish. They were warmed by the illusion that at some point Russia would stop faint-heartedly hesitating and finally hit the khokhols. What if it completely cuts them down, Russia will not abandon them. Now, it turns out, they have to manage on their own?

      And in the meantime:
      "24.06.2014 11:35
      Ukrainian troops are deploying heavy and long-range Smerch installations "...

      Today, 12: 16
      "The commander of the Aydar battalion, Sergei Melnychuk, said on Ukrainian television that, in his opinion, there are traitors in the leadership of the so-called anti-terrorist operation in southeastern Ukraine."
      I even guess who ... laughing Well, what else to do with the frostbitten Banderlog?! ... If they have ceased to "feel the ground" and even in Shuster's program they are impudently rude to the "main" ... And how to cancel the gas with sweets ?! ...

      Here are some more confirmations:
      “Residents of Donbass will perceive Putin’s decision as a disaster”
      http://warfiles.ru/show-62334-zhiteli-donbassa-vosprimut-reshenie-putina-kak-kat

      astrophu.html
      Today, Vladimir Putin appealed to the Federation Council with a request to cancel the decree allowing the use of the Russian army in Ukraine. The Federation Council granted the president the right to use troops in Ukraine on March 1 this year, after the victory of the protest Maidan and the escape from Kiev of Viktor Yanukovych. The permission was followed by the annexation of Crimea and the actual start of a civil war in southeastern Ukraine, from which Moscow formally moved away.
      We asked political scientists why this decision was needed now and what it could lead to.
      Alexey Makarkin, Deputy Director of the Center for Political Technologies:
      This is a signal after Putin’s conversation with Obama yesterday. It is clear that this conversation could not have happened without some steps on both sides, they initially began to say that some concessions would be made.

      I think this is most likely to be understood so that, in addition to drones, Strelkova will have a lot more and the militia can go to Odessa, Kharkov. But to Kiev - still unlikely.

      Sorry, that is off topic, but the news is important.
      "Military Parity." On June 23, a Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fired up on the runway of the US Air Force Eglin Base (Florida), it was seriously damaged, possibly destroyed, news.usni.org reports.


      There were no casualties, an investigation has been launched, Pentagon officials said. “The plane was preparing to complete a training flight, but interrupted take-off due to a fire in the rear of the aircraft. Emergency services that arrived at the scene of the incident extinguished the fire, ”the US Department of Defense said in a press release.


      The F-35A aircraft (an option for the Air Force) belonged to the Nomads squadron ("Nomads" - approx. "VP"). The wing in Eglin is engaged in irradiating pilots on all three versions of the fighter.


      “We have a reliable and extensive training program in which we, in particular, teach pilots how to act quickly and correctly in emergency situations. In this case, the pilot performed a series of regulated actions that allowed him to safely interrupt take-off, turn off the engine and leave the car, ”says US Deputy Navy squadron commander Paul Haas.


      “We know about the Eglin-based case involving the F-35A. The aircraft is in the safe hands of the 33rd air wing. We stated that we will provide any assistance if requested, ”a Lockheed company spokesperson said by telephone.


      This is the first "severe" incident in the entire F-35 test program of all three versions. Currently, there are 103 aircraft of this type in the test and training units of the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, the company said.
