Syrians, Russians, Hezbollah, Take Palmyra

TNO, Syrians, Russians, Hezbollah, Take Palmyra, 27 March 2016:

A combined force consisting of ground forces from Syria, Russia, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, in conjunction with the Russian air force, have retaken the ancient city of Palmyra from the US-backed “rebels” in a highly symbolic victory announced on Easter Sunday.

A combined force consisting of ground forces from Syria, Russia, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, in conjunction with the Russian air force, have retaken the ancient city of Palmyra from the US-backed “rebels” in a highly symbolic victory announced on Easter Sunday.

According to a report on the Syrian national news service, SANA, the city had been retaken after “heavy fighting against the terrorist Daesh organization,” and the “UNESCO World Heritage List city was now stable and free of terrorists.”

Daesh is an acronym for the Arabic phrase al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham, which translates as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL.

The SANA report said that the Syrian military had completely destroyed Daesh and had taken “absolute control over all parts of the city, including the ancient city and the airport.”

The victory is made even more significant because of the fact that it was made possible by a combined assault of forces which many western governments—in western Europe and the US in particular—vehemently oppose.

The European Union still has sanctions against Russia, and many liberals oppose Vladimir Putin’s government because of its non-toleration of homosexual marriages and propaganda.

Hezbollah is hated by the Jewish lobby because it successfully defended Lebanon against an Israeli invasion in 2006, and of course, the Syrian government is hated because of its opposition to Israel.

Russian ground forces were also involved in the assault on Palmyra. Col. Gen. Aleksandr Dvornikov, deputy commander of the Central Military District in Russia, confirmed to RT that the Special Operations Forces (SOF) are deployed in Syria.

“They conduct ground reconnaissance of pre-selected targets for Russian warplanes, assist in targeting warplanes in remote areas, and perform other tasks,” the general said.

One of the Russian soldiers achieved fame by calling in an airstrike on his own positon after being spotted by ISIS militants after spending nearly a week hidden in the desert near Palmyra, detecting and radioing back important targets and providing coordinates for Russian warplanes to strike.

The SANA report said that Syrian military engineers had immediately begun combing the city, looking for “hundreds of mines and improvised explosive devices” left behind by the terrorists.

The explosives had been placed all around the archaeological monuments, houses, and orchards surrounding the city, the statement continued.

Palmyra had been under ISIS rule since June 2014, during which time they had infamously destroyed many of the ancient and irreplaceable Roman monuments as “heathen blasphemy.”

They also carried out a number of executions in the city, including the beheading of the Syrian scholar and antiquities expert Khalid al-Asaad, who refused to lead the terrorists to a number of hidden Palmyra treasures in return for his life.

They also infamously used the Roman theater in Palmyra for a mass execution of twenty-five captured Syrian army soldiers, employing ISIS children as executioners.

The SANA report said that 450 of the terrorists had been killed in the assault on Palmyra, and “hundreds of others” had retreated eastward. Among those killed in the city were a large number of “foreign mercenaries who had earlier infiltrated the city from Raqqa, Deir al-Zour, and the Iraqi border,” with the intention of totally destroying the ancient city before retreating.

SANA said that the “Russian air force had been intensively involved” in the operation, and many of the fleeing terrorists had been killed by pinpoint strikes against armored vehicles and other ISIS transport.

“The tightening of control over the city of Palmyra is a significant milestone and a starting point to achieve more victories in the war on terrorism,” the SANA report added.

“[The victory] is proof that the Syrian Army is the main actor in the move to confront the terrorist organizations and thwart their sponsors’ schemes,” the SANA statement said, concluding by naming these sponsors: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and “the West.”

As reported earlier, ISIS has been enabled and largely armed by the US and its allies who sent “aid” to the “moderate Syrian rebels.” After receiving money and guns from the fools in Washington DC, the “moderates” all joined ISIS.

Their defeat in Palmyra proves that ISIS could have been defeated a long time ago had the US and Western governments not been beholden to the Jewish lobby who seeks the destruction of Syria.

HP, “North Korean Propaganda Video Shows Animated Nuclear Attack On Washington, D.C.”, 27 March 2016:

Pyongyang is threatening a ‘pre-emptive” strike on the United States.

North Korea releases video on YouTube on Friday by North Korea’s DPRK Today, was the latest in a string of provocative words and actions by the isolated nation.

North Korea has released a provocative new video depicting a nuclear attack on Washington, D.C.

“If the American imperialists provoke us a bit, we will not hesitate to slap them with a pre-emptive nuclear strike,” the Korean subtitles read, according to a translation in The New York Times. “The United States must choose! It’s up to you whether the nation called the United States exists on this planet or not.”

Earlier this month, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un reportedly ordered his military to prepare to use nuclear weapons in a “pre-emptive attack“ in what appeared to be a response to harsh new sanctions imposed by the United Nations.

Those sanctions came after Pyongyang claimed to have tested a hydrogen bomb and then, several weeks later, fired a long-range rocket that experts believed was cover for a ballistics missile test. Just last week, North Korea fired five short-range projectiles into the sea and tested a solid-fuel engine that could be used in a ballistic missile.

Brave Russian soldier ordered military officials to drop bombs on his location after being surrounded by ISIS terrorists

Last communication of Russian fighter leading the battle of Palmyra:

Transcript of last communication of Russian Special Forces officer killed in the battle of Palmyra, translated from Russian:

Command: no response, orders the airstrik

Here is what I’ve (DanielS) gathered in response by senior military advisers.

The Russians have done well in Palmyra.

Kudos for “their side” this time.

Western military acknowledge mistakes in having propped up rebels who defected to Isil, but it would not be accurate to say that they are unhappy to see Isil defeated, even if by the cooperation of Russia.

However, while congratulating Russia for victory in that battle, one must understand that an unfettered western military could have and would have done it as well. Politics and popular sentiment in Europe and The U.S. will not allow for that deployment presently.

Hence, this statement:

The victory is made even more significant because of the fact that it was made possible by a combined assault of forces which many western governments—in western Europe and the US in particular—vehemently oppose.

Is a bit misleading.

And while White Nationalists are fawning over Russian heroism in Palmyra, they ought to find some of the righteous skepticism that they’ve found for their Western governments and apply its frame of reference to The Russian Federation as well.

The last comment about North Korea’s saber rattling is a reminder that North Korea is both propped-up and exploited by Russia - for just one bit of smelling salts for those inclined to suspend disbelief in it as the great White hope.

Isis ‘retakes part of Palmyra’ in lightning advance nine months after being driven out of ancient Syrian city

Militants enter suburbs just two days after launching ‘surprise’ offensive against Syrian army

Daily Beast, “ISIS Retakes UNESCO Heritage Site Palmyra—So Where Is Putin’s Army Now?”, 11 Dec 2016:

Russia is talking a big game about beating back ISIS in Syria—even as jihadists have retaken half of the ancient city of Palmyra.

“Our future Russian allies, with all their international legitimacy, are too busy elsewhere in Syria to help much against ISIS.”

So witheringly tweeted former U.S. ambassador Robert Ford on the day that the CIA went public with disclosures about Russian government hacks designed to get Donald Trump elected president.

        Aleppo offensive left Palmyra vulnerable to Isis and could spark new militant gains

Russia is talking a big game about beating back ISIS in Syria—even as jihadists have retaken half of the ancient city of Palmyra.

“Our future Russian allies, with all their international legitimacy, are too busy elsewhere in Syria to help much against ISIS.”

Monitors say Isis’ advance came days after Russian and Iranian troops withdrawn from ancient city.
