Op-ed: Syria...Another 'Red-Line' Not Crossed

Op-ed: 
Syria...Another 'Red-Line' Not Crossed
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://cprworldwidemedia.net/

“Only the Syrian people can decide if and when to replace president Bashar al-Assad,” so says Russia's Vladimir Putin...and guess what...he's right whether Barack HUSSEIN Obama likes it or NOT...and we can thank Obama's misguided and proven dangerous Arab Spring turned Arab Winter as the reason why every single thing he touches in the Middle East heads south. Libya, Yemen, and Egypt are but a few examples of countries who while under a dictatorship of sorts were, for the most part secular in nature, and as such were able to keep the islamist savages at bay. Enter center stage Obama and his losing the peace that George W. Bush had won and everything has gone south since then.

Keeping Russian influence out of the Middle East has always been the U.S. hoped for goal...that is until Obama sold America out...and now after a culmination of a month long buildup in their all-important airbase of Latakia close to Israel's northern border...Vladimir Putin continues his military intervention into Syria in the guise of bombing runs and increases his on-the-ground support via Iran in his trying to keep al-Assad in power...Iranian troops he is actually using to shore up both support and manpower for when he tries to overthrow the mullahs...and know that Putin surely understands that for Russia to be the world's number one superpower that he must do just that. And we must accept as fact that Putin is actually now fighting the 'War on Terror' that we should be fighting and he is fighting it against 'so-called' rebels who are anything but...including those supposed 'moderate' rebels trained by the CIA.

Always using, when asked, the enemy's name ISIS or IS...NOT ISIL...an acronym Obama and his cronies so love to use as a slap-in-the-face to Israel and a call-out to the Levant...Putin well understands what some here in this country still do NOT get, that these 'so-called' rebels are indeed the enemy as they are NOTHING but tentacles of ISIS and other islamic groups...groups who now control upwards of 50% of the country...and Putin knows that to protect Russia from these savages he must stop them before they can reach Russian borders. And Putin is doing just that while Obama is laying out the welcome for the enemy to come here to America's door, all while refusing to use U.S. warplanes to patrol a so-wanted 'safe zone' corridor for Syrian civilians...as he refuses to use U.S. air power to protect civilians from ISIS attacks...instead using U.S.war planes to bomb empty warehouses and long deserted terrorist training camps...with NO terrorists killed of course.

In Putin's believing that the best way to fight ISIS and other assorted terrorist groups operating in Syria...groups like al-Qaeda and el-Nusra...is to support Bashar al-Assad and his secular government (and know that al-Assad is NO angel but he is better than the alternative) whose forces have been pulling back under continuous attacks from ISIS and its cohorts...know that NOT all is as cut-and-dry nor as altruistic as it seems for Vladimir Putin is trying above all else to rebuild the Russian Empire and to do so he needs al-Assad remaining in power. Remember, the current al-Assad government, as well as his father's government before him, have been Russia's main ally in the Middle East for over 40-years, and Putin can ill-afford to have yet another Russian ally fall as he needs long-term naval and air power both in Europe and especially in the Middle East in order to rebuild the empire and make 'Mother Russia' proud.

And to that affect, Putin must keep at all costs his only port in the Middle East...that being his Syrian port at Tartus. Located a mere 150 miles from the capital of Damascus and close to the Aegean Sea, Tartus affords Russian ships routes into the Black Sea as well and easy access to many of it's ports. Having a port at Tartus, which is close to the Suez Canal, allows Russian ships passage to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, giving Russia a geographical advantage in their competition with NATO. Also, and this is critical, arms and equipment deliveries to al-Assad's government forces...equipment including Bastion coastal defense missiles, T-80 battle tanks, and Su-30 fighters...all go through the Port of Tartus.

And now Putin knows that he must expand said port to handle what's known as 'first-and second-rank ships' from the Russia'a Mediterranean flotilla...warships and transport ships...to be able to leave an even bigger footprint on Syrian soil and beyond...to simply show Russian strength while at the same time playing up both NATO's and U.S. weaknesses...weaknesses on our part again thanks to Barack HUSSEIN Obama whose true goal is to have our beloved America become but yet anther third world caliphate member nation.

Also, by supporting al-Assad, Putin is building a coalition of sorts from amongst pro-Russian Shi'ite vehemently anti-Sunni forces, to try and prove to the the world that Russia is better able to handle the turmoil in Middle East than is the U.S., which in turn would allow Russia to call all the shots in the region. And Benjamin Netanyahu...long-tired of his being stabbed in the back by our traitor-in-chief... knows well what Putin's end-game is for he met with Putin in Moscow just a little over a week ago...before giving his U.N. speech...to discuss ways to prevent 'accidental clashes' between Russian and Israeli forces both now operating in Syria...looking out for each other I would venture to say...looking out for each other while trade and dialogue between the two nations increases...and all while Obama continues to claim that he had NO idea that Putin was going to bomb enemy targets in Syria...enemy targets as in his supported Free Syrian Army brethren.

And let's NOT forget that in order to rebuild 'Mother Russia' into the once great Russian Empire, Putin needs cash and lots of it, so good little statist and ultimate capitalist that he is, Valdimir Putin is using Russian arms sales to countries throughout the Middle East...countries that of course are NOT friends of the U.S...as leverage to influence in Russia's favor big money generating and producing energy projects in countries like Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Turkey...once again countries that are either enemies of or deserted by the U.S., yet all countries now allying themselves with Putin's Russia.

And Putin's quest for capital also has him wanting to control...to manipulate...both oil and gas prices as well as the supply of such going into Europe by trying to get the Saudis and OPEC to work with him in raising oil prices in an effort to rescue Russia's own troubled economy...an economy hurting bad from U.N. and U.S. sanctions placed upon them courtesy of its NO end in site war in Ukraine. And he's doing all this because the ongoing policy of trying to isolate Russia over Ukraine is NOT accomplishing what we and others hoped it would thus allowing Vladimir Putin and Russia to continue to grow stronger NOT weaker and more compliant to our will.

So as the Obama regime keeps saying that Russia's incursion into Syria will do NOTHING but inflame an already highly militarized situation that could destabilize the entire region...as if Obama's traitorous 'NO-strategy' strategy hasn't already done that...and saying so while singing their same old tired song that al-Assad and his secular government must go...remember the old adage that all bad things come in threes. First we had the fall of Gaddafi with militants now overwhelming that country; then Obama had us deserting the Iraqi's which directly led to the birth of ISIS; and now he is trying via Syria to checkmate the Russian Bear which we know will NOT turn out well for him...and Syria's falling will lay directly on Obama's head for refusing to cross his own drawn 'red-line in the sand' just a few short years ago.
