Retired colonel advised Washington to "shut up" about Syria

124
The Russian antiterrorist operation in Syria showed the world that the US policy in this country failed miserably, reports RIA News statement of a retired American colonel and military analyst Jack Jacobs.



“The myth that the United States is struggling with the IG has been exposed. We do absolutely nothing. (...) We inflicted airstrikes, but did not achieve any success. IG is still strong - or even stronger than before, ”said Jacobs on CNBC.

“Anyone with military experience knows that all our actions (in the region) have failed. We got into a mess, because we are obviously untenable - we don't even have a strategy, ”he stressed.

In Washington’s interests in this situation, he should “shut up first,” the analyst is sure.

According to him, the accusations against Russia, which allegedly warned the Pentagon too late to launch operations in Syria, are “outrageous”, and show that Washington simply has nothing to say.

      In the interests of Washington in this situation, he should "shut up first of all," the analyst is sure

      said rudely as a colonel
      but competently and confidently as an analyst
      or vice versa..? In general, an analyst colonel in the subject and common direction!

        They instantly "see" after retiring.
        A kick in the ass provokes some changes in the brain.
        This is probably a banal revenge on the authorities.
        You look at our beloved Psaki in my memoirs, she will write how sincerely she loves Russia and, in general, was an agent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

            Well, yes, I earned a pension, I bought a house in the village ...
            Now it’s possible to think smartly. It’s unlikely that they will be punished for this with a dollar, but in the service they cannot!

              I would not say that in America you can be clever with impunity. For example, the uncle who organized the referendum on the secession of Alaska from the United States, after the organized failure of the referendum in the market in Anchorage, was quietly cut by an UNKNOWN. And some UNKNOWN truck knocked down, again for good, a peasant who thought to collect samples of dust scattered throughout New York from the WTC towers, and found in all the samples termite, which is used to cut metal during industrial demolition of buildings. And even about the multi-move with a setup by Lee Oswald and it's somehow awkward to discuss after 50 years have been written about it - only I wonder how they managed to screw up with such a cool candidate for "KGB agents" and turn everything so crookedly that there are white threads stick out in all directions.

              So they won’t punish the dollar, but the FBI also works for them ... Although it is crooked ...

                Actually, yes ... but if this colonel also collected specific facts, with the desire to publish them ... then he was no longer alive.

              Do you think someone noticed him in Washington? They do not notice much more obvious and high-profile things.

              That is the “charm” of democratic freedoms, that everyone can say whatever he wants. Up to a certain limit. Within the limits of what is permitted. He blurted out, he was heard by 100 people who do not do the weather in the USA. And so that 100 million do not hear him - this is still a long way off, and the FBI, NSA and the spirit of dozens of similar organizations have time to "make him an offer he cannot refuse."

        New gems from Obama: "Russia is strengthening IS in Syria. The Russian coalition is Iran and Syria, ours is the rest of the world."

        Stratfor: In Syria, the United States surrendered its allied rebels

        Bloomberg: Putin actually established a no-fly zone over Syria. The White House has confirmed that it will not protect the rebels from the air

And they all have some opinion, if they have not yet become sick with senility. Moreover, it is characteristic that as soon as the military and diplomats in the United States resign, they immediately begin to express opinions, everyone has different opinions, these opinions can be described by the distribution of the energy of the molecules according to Boltzmann. Some of the opinions coincide with ours. But from the point of view of physics, this is nothing more than a tail in the distribution of molecules according to Boltzmann. then - so what?

His works are still used in the calculations of thermal machines. The point of my remark is not in criticizing the retired colonel, but in the fact that discussing his statements, which are absolutely correct, does not make sense, because a) he is retired and b) one of the few. I myself know that as soon as people retire, they immediately become well-versed in politics, economics, etc., even analysts somewhere. And this is generally normal.

    He currently serves as a military analyst for NBC news and msnbc, before which he worked as an investment manager in one of the private companies engaged in services in this business field.

      Separate information from the award sheet of Colonel (at that time captain) Jake H. Jacobs, to the Congressional Medal of Honor, with which he was awarded:
      While serving as a military adviser from the US Armed Forces in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the South Vietnam Republic (specifically the 2-th battalion, 16-th (9-th?) Infantry division of the Armed Forces of the South Vietnam Rep.), During the assault on the reinforced positions of the North.- The Vietnamese Armed Forces under enemy fire, Captain Jacobs, because of losses among the command staff of the battalion, being wounded himself, took command of the forces of this battalion and removed the remaining forces of this unit from enemy fire.
      He was also able to organize the deployment of the remaining forces of the battalion for defensive actions, as well as to organize the evacuation of the wounded remaining at the turn of the attack.
      He took a personal, direct part in the evacuation of the wounded, despite the fact that he himself was wounded.
      During the evacuation of the wounded, he directed the actions of the personnel and personally drove the medical service car, taking the wounded from the front positions under intense mortar fire and fire from the enemy’s small arms, repelling the enemy’s three counter-attacks against the evacuation group he organized.
      Thanks to these actions, from the front lines for several flights, 13 soldiers of the South Vietnamese rep were evacuated from enemy fire. and 1 military adviser to the US Armed Forces.

    Well, to be honest, the US coalition has been bombing Syria for a year a day for 40-50 sorties, but the result? ISIS expanded the captured territory by 30%, not a single shot of hitting targets, apparently dropping bombs in the desert on the heads of local animals? Here our aviation began to work and in the very first days more than 20 targets were hit and how effective. It immediately suggests the idea: either the Americans do not want to bomb, or are simply so "tough" that they do not hit their targets, there is a third option - they are simply cowardly. Here the colonel, as a concrete person and apparently appreciating the result, gave his assessment, harshly but clearly. A coalition of 60 states inflicted less damage on ISIS in a year than the Russian Aerospace Forces in two days. So who knows how to fight? We should also involve the air force and ground forces of China, then the terrorists are generally khan.

And I don’t believe the Western media for a long time, after 08.08.08, they lied on black and now they are lying. 20 goals show the video before and after the defeat, the real result. The Pentagon also confirms that there are results. If everything works out, you have to admit that you are not competent.

    The number of forces and equipment of the Aerospace Forces in Syria is very insignificant. Our General Staff does not eat bread for nothing. This means that there are few worthy goals. The weather in Syria "breaks" in November - low cloudiness, winds, heavy rains. IMHO, the operation is calculated before the beginning of bad weather. 3-4 weeks. During this time, they will smash to smithereens, in half, the entire identified infrastructure of the bearded, disrupt supply and physically stop oil smuggling. And without money, most of the militants will not want to fight. Even Napoleon said - for a war you need three things - money, money, and again - money. There will be no money - both ISIS and the opposition of all shades give up.

      Yes Yes.
      But the most important thing in this case is that the Syrian Armed Forces would conduct no less effective ground combat operations and destroy / displace ISIS and "moderate opposition" forces from the occupied areas.
      Otherwise, all the results that the air strikes inflicted by the airborne forces of the Russian Federation will not give the proper final result.
      Because soon the enemy will be able to restore all the destroyed infrastructure and his battered forces.
      The main thing is not to give the enemy a break, to beat and drive him, as long as there are forces and opportunities. Desirable in general for the territory of Syria.
      It is worth asking a question in this regard. At the moment, the Syrian army, thoroughly battered for the 4 of the war year, is capable of such actions?
      Because she will have to not only force the enemy out of the occupied parts of the territory of Syria, but also take control and hold them herself.

    From the Colonel ... The attacks are being made against both the Caliphate and the "good terrorists". The latter causes terrible displeasure in the West from where there are constant proposals to "stop bombing good terrorists and deal only with the Caliphate." Russia continues to confidently take a position - we are bombing those who are needed, as many as necessary and where necessary. Since the bombings are coming from high enough heights and do not allow them to be counteracted by anti-aircraft guns and MANPADS, adhering to this strategy, Russia acts with impunity, showing every day picturesque cuts of bomb strikes on various objects of the Caliphate and other "freedom fighters". In fact, the pro-American coalition is putting forward an ultimatum "either bomb only the Caliphate, or fold." But in fact, this coalition has no way to directly stop what is happening, since from the point of view of international law, Russia uses the official request of the legitimate government and is the only country that can legally bomb in Syria. Since from a legal point of view there is no digging in here, there is informational and diplomatic pressure on Russia, since the change in the situation in Syria breaks down the long-term alignments that arose during the war. Militarily, limiting the capabilities of the Russian Federation for bombing could ensure the supply of air defense systems in a significant number with trained calculations, but it is completely unclear who will give them and most importantly to whom, not to mention that air defense systems are also not a panacea and can be destroyed as part of comprehensive measures aimed at neutralizing the focal air defense system. Do not forget that, in addition to other goals and objectives, the Russian army uses this theater of operations to test various types of weapons (including new ones) in combat conditions, which will come in handy both in this and in the very likely subsequent conflicts.
