Syrian army helicopters have dropped tens of thousands of leaflets on ISIS and rebel fighters.
Daily Stormer consumes Kremlin propaganda, which is then, in turn, passed-on by Stormfront Radio, as if Putin is taking a hard stance against Israel.
Daily Mail, ’‘Don’t make it worse for yourselves’: Helicopters drop leaflets on ISIS and rebel fighters warning them to give up now ahead of huge Russian-backed ground offensive’, 06 Oct 2015:
Dire warning: The leaflets being dropped to warn people to get out of the zone of ‘special operations’ - and one implies that Isis and al-Nusra Front terrorists terror groups are backed by America and Israel
Flyers are aimed at both civilians and fighters, and warn them to leave area
One says leave ‘special operations’ zone ahead of possible ground attack
Another urged ISIS and rebel fighters to give up their arms
Moscow’s warplanes have been conducting airstrikes on Syria for six days. softening up targets ahead of an expected large-scale ground operation
From Daily Stormer
Daily Mail
A pamphlet aimed at civilians, and designed to look like ‘religious literature’, read: ‘Co-operate with the army and leave the zone of the special operations for the sake of your own life.’
It said they can travel through Syrian checkpoints safely with the leaflet, and the government will give them ‘shelter, food and medical aid’.
Another one, meant for ISIS fighters, said: ‘Don’t make it even worse for yourselves.
‘The Motherland [presumably Syria] is ready to hug you back again. Give up your arms as hundreds of other young guys like you have done.’
One of the pamphlets, obtained by the Kremlin-friendly Russian Komsomolskaya Pravda website, featured a cartoon of an al-Nusra front figurine being wound up by Israel and the United States.
“So yes. Russia is officially accusing the Jews of running ISIS.
That is a thing which is now happening.” - Daily Stormer

Everything about this story, and the fact that the Daily Stormer and Stormfront Radio picked up on this and ran with it without doing any background story checking, is just typical.
Just some points to set the record straight:
1. There are no ‘Russian jets’ spreading leaflets. The Mi-8 is not a ‘jet’, it’s a transport helicopter.
2. The Mi-8s being used are not being flown by Russians. These are not Russian navy- or Russian army-operated. They are Mi-8 helicopters which are being operated by the Syrian Arab Army.
3. Those leaflets are not Russian army PSYOP leaflets. They are Syrian army PSYOP leaflets which are spreading the same narrative that they’ve been spreading for the entire duration of the conflict. A PSYOP also does not need to be true, it merely needs to produce a result that is conducive to getting the subjects to respond in such a way that assists the commanders in achieving their mission objectives on the ground. The leaflets do not prove anything, and they are not of Russian design.
4. There is no confirmation of a ‘massive Russian-backed ground offensive’. It is a Syrian Arab Army ground offensive which will have some of its Close Air Support being provided by the Russian Airforce.
5. At most, the Russians might supplement the Syrian Arab Army’s efforts by sending in Special Operations teams for some limited purposes, but that has not actually been confirmed to be on the table yet.
6. Russia is not interested in sticking its finger into Israel’s eye, in fact Russia has an ongoing agenda to strengthen ties between itself and Israel.
It appears to me that the Daily Mail simply accepted the story which Pravda—literally a propaganda arm of the Kremlin—gave to them and added their own extra pro-Russian spin to it because the story was handled by the notoriously pro-Russian Will Stewart, and that the Daily Stormer and Stormfront Radio just accepted this story and added their own pro-Russian spin to something that had already been spun twice.
Basically everything about that story is wrong, and the implications conveyed through it, are wrong.
The outcome is truly ridiculous, and is one of the most insane examples of sucking-up-to-Russia by certain White Nationalists that I’ve yet seen.
