RUSSIAN, US AND ISRAELI “COLLUSION”
THEORY.
So,
the “rank and file” of the Syrian military was upset with the latest attack
from Israel? So, some of the leadership feels the Russians and the US are
supporting Israel’s actions in Syria? What was their first “clue”? That support
has been taking place since day one of the Russian operations inside Syria.
Why Now?
Why do these “rank and file” members speak to this issue
now? Did fear keep them from making these statements, statements they’ve known
all along were true? Has the level of
frustration just now become an issue? Was the location of the attack the new
twist? Nope. It’s been hit before. Was it how it was struck; from Lebanese
airspace? Nope. Look, Iranian and Hezbollah assets in Syria have been under
attack for several years now, so why did some of the Syrian military members
finally decide to say something?
Is the Bromance coming to an
end?
I’ve addressed the issue of the so-called alliance
between Iran, Russia and Syria on multiple occasions, but for the sake of
clarity, let’s take a quick refresher course and I promise I won’t take the approach
of some condescending Academic looking to sell their next book. Iran is one
thing to Moscow….. a Pawn……. A Pawn that is a proxy fighter when called upon or
manipulated into such actions. To the Mullahs, Syria is a Pawn….. a nation with
a subservient government that bends to the will of Tehran and its vision of the
future for the region. The idea that Moscow will determine the outcome of Syria
is unacceptable to the Mullahs. These old men may be delusional, but they
recognize the game being played by the Russians……. Act like they are a friend
until the movement in time that friendship is no longer needed and then……. The Mullahs
sleep with the fishes.
Again, a few weeks ago, I commented on how important it was
the Mullahs dragged Assad to Tehran and did so without Moscow’s permission or knowledge.
Inside the halls of the Kremlin that action was not going to go unanswered. Yes,
Moscow had been letting the IDF have it’s way in Syria, but pulling Assad in
for “consultation” without telling the Tsar, well….that was a step too far. Did
that lead to the Israelis attacking last week? Someone would have to prove to
me it didn’t. Iran is pushing it’s agenda for Syria and that agenda is not
designed in Moscow. How does this answer the question as to why the Syrian military
finally spoke up? They were told to speak up! They were instructed to call out
Moscow and place the blame on the Russians and good luck to the Syrian military
leaders who didn’t follow those orders….orders coming from the Mullahs. Rock
and a Hard Spot? Why do you think the statements were from “unnamed sources”? By
the way, if the whole thing was made up and no Syrian military leader said anything
about the Russians being in bed with the US and Israel, what an absolutely brilliant
move on the part of the Intelligence Community!!!! Sadly, my bet is, the story is
true. As much as I would like to believe the IC could pull off such an
information operation, I am more convinced this event is another true indicator
of the fragile Bromance between the Iranians and the Russians growing weaker by
the day. Sure, the Russians will come out with some statement about the alliance
is stronger than ever. They may even send a few more ineffective toys to the
Syrian military, but in the end, one strategic fact cannot be denied. The
future of Syria and the region is not a common vision between the Russians and
the old men in Tehran. Pressure to expose that division is critical to those
that don’t want to see ether side reach their vision quest. Side Note. If you
think the US is Hell bent on keeping the Russians from determining the future
of Syria, you may be in for a disappointment. Iran is target number one for the
US and Israel is the proxy fighter for that task, and that fighter is
undefeated in the region. By the way, when the Tsar decides it’s time for the
Mullahs to go, well………… the fish will have company.
