50
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said that Washington could not confirm reports of Russian shipments. weapons to Syria, but still expresses concern about this.



Journalists asked Toner a question whether the United States discussed this issue with the Russian Federation.

"We conveyed our concern," - quotes the response of the representative of the State Department RIA "News".

“We have seen various press reports that Russia may be sending military or airplanes to Syria. I can only say that we are closely monitoring the situation. We study it. We are in contact with our partners in the region, trying to get more information, ”Toner added.

The representative of the State Department stressed that Washington has no confirmation of the supply of Russian weapons.

“We are not sure for what purpose it is being done and whether it is being done at all. But, of course, we are concerned about any attempt to support the Assad regime with military, airplanes, any supplies or financing, since we believe that this is a destabilizing and counterproductive step, ”he concluded.

        It’s hard now in the Washington region, the Russians, the Chinese, they don’t give rest to the poor Yankees, then they will conduct exercises in their own country, then they will parade, then they will sell non-American weapons with anyone they want, sheer worry.

        Not only to finance, but also "by mistake" and supplied with weapons. Why then did the State Department not express "concern? Or, as is their custom, ISIS is a bastard, but it's an American bastard."

        Russia is preparing to become the first world power to send ground troops to Syria



        In recent weeks, Russians have taken four military actions in Syria:

        1. On August 18, six advanced Russian MIG-31 interceptor aircraft landed at the Syrian Air Force Base Mezze, which is located in the military unit of Damascus International Airport. After the fighters landed, the giant An-124 Condor cargo plane immediately carrying them was carrying 1000 Russian 9M133 Cornet anti-tank missiles.

        Advanced aircraft are designed to be used as air support for Russian units arriving in Syria.

        2. Before Russian planes landed in Damascus, Moscow reached an agreement with Washington to remove NATO Patriot missile batteries from Turkey. The removal was carried out gradually during the month of August, thus preventing the possibility that these NATO missile systems could hit Russian fighters conducting operations in Syrian airspace.

        3. During the last week of August, a large number of Russian troops, mainly logistics teams, whose job is to lay the foundation for the arrival of combat units, arrived in Syria. Troops were spotted in Damascus and in the Jablah region of Latakia province, where Russian troops are building a military base.

        4. Our intelligence sources also report that Moscow has begun providing Damascus with satellite imagery of the earth’s surface on various fronts.

        DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources report that all of Moscow’s preparatory steps for the introduction of ground forces are coordinated with Washington and Tehran.

        While the three capitals are drawn into coordination of efforts in support of Assad, the faster the Russian intervention is expected to occur.

          Russia is preparing to become the first world power to send ground troops to Syria

          Blog by admin

          Despite Moscow’s categorical assurances to the contrary, Russian airborne troops are preparing to be sent to Syria to fight the forces of the Islamic state. The suddenness of the attack on Monday, August 31, of the ISIS forces on Qadam, a district in southern Damascus, during which they captured parts of the district and advanced to the center of the capital as close as no anti-Assad group had advanced, was expected to accelerate Russian military intervention.

          Moscow, of course, is not ready to jeopardize the position of President Bashar al-Assad or his rule in Damascus, and sees this as a red line that cannot be advocated. If Russia intervenes militarily, it will become the first country outside the Middle East to send ground troops to the Syrian civil war.

          DEBKAfile military sources report that discussions of the Russian-Syrian military commission, which was created last month in Moscow to coordinate the intervention, have become more intense in the past few days.

          Our intelligence sources note that the commission’s agreed activities are taking place against the backdrop of the almost complete paralysis of the US Central Command-Forward-Jordan (CCFJ), where operations against rebels in southern Syria, including those occupying positions opposite Israel, are coordinated in the Golan heights. Officers from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel are attached to the CCFJ.

          Most CCFJ operations were suspended due to a conflict that erupted between Syrian rebels and the US Central Command, CENTCOM. The US military opposes rebels collaborating with al Qaeda-affiliated groups such as Al Nusra, while rebels argue that this cannot be avoided if they want to defeat the forces of Bashar al-Assad and Hezbollah.

          The paralysis of CCFJ encourages the Russians to show that their “Central Command” for Syria works without any difficulties.

          this garbage is printed on an unknown site in English, you should not believe it. I do not exclude such a development of the situation - in our time, everything is possible, but the dispatch of our troops, the best aircraft to the very swamp and breeding ground of world terrorism will be considered a victory for the United States. Say, she was able to impose on us - a country beaten by the crisis, another problem. This is how we once entered friendly Afghanistan, then “left” for 10 long years. Climbing into Syria may be a noble idea, but an extremely dangerous adventure. Dangerous for our economy. Now is not the best time.

But, of course, we are concerned about any attempt to support the Assad regime with military, airplanes, any supplies or financing, since we believe that this is a destabilizing and counterproductive step, ”he concluded.
      And we are worried:
      0). The support of the United States and its ISIS satellites.
      1). Concerned about the dropping of ammunition directly to ISIS positions, the Iraqi, Syrian military and Kurdish militias have repeatedly witnessed this.
      2). Concerned about the training and combat coordination of ISIS units by American instructors at bases in Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia.
      3). Concerned that through Turkey and Jordan under the US protectorate, ISIS sells its oil and saturates its budget.
      4). We are concerned that the aircraft of the "Coalition" did not inflict ANY AIR STRIKE on oil wells and related infrastructure on the territory controlled by ISIS.
      five). We are concerned about the delay in US deliveries to its "Ally" Iraq of combat aircraft and other equipment to deter the ISIS offensive against the Iraqi provinces.
      6). Concerned about the agreement between Ankara and Washington, according to which, under the guise of fighting ISIS, Turkey launched the bombing of Kurdish militias (which the US and EU used to take care of), the militias who threatened the capital of ISIS during the offensive, of course, after such bombing, the Kurds retreated to abandon the offensive .
      7). Concerned about the meetings of Senator McCain with the first persons of the state of ISIS, which is not one photo fact in confirmation ...
      8). We are concerned that the ground operation of the Coalition forces against ISIS has not yet been discussed in the US Congress, despite the public decapitation of US and British citizens (Hussein and Gaddafi paid with their lives and the existence of their states for much smaller offenses) ...

      Here we have 8 CONCERNS ...

      P.S. Yes, and about the presence of the Russian military in Syria, the United States need not worry if they were, Israel would have already spoken about this, and the Promised Land is still silent, so they are not there. bully

    No, they could not, but they realized that things were very bad and made friends with Assad. Now the combined forces of the Syrian army and the "moderate opposition" on the one hand are fighting against the quasi-Islamic state. The Iranian militia and the Kurds on the other side ... and all of them sorely lack heavy equipment. And Russia could help in this matter.

Is there any proof of supply? There is. (The concern was not without reason.) Is the war on? It goes. (due to the supply of Russian weapons). Is there something to oppose the Russians? It is necessary. (arm the opposition). Did they start arming before Russia started delivering? Earlier. (brilliant foresight). Is the State Department worthy of respect? Worthy.
