The Syrian War

A person who officially makes 140k a year, how does he own a 350m pound (yes pound not dollars!) worth villa?then yachts watches etc? have you ever dealt with Gazprom? i deal with them regularly and transparency is the weakest link here. Its impossible to investigate these companies but to say Putin has no financial state in state owned giants is naive. You can say its a conspiracy but wikileaks said this:

I do agree its world over but in Russia its even more so, think about how commodity rich the country is and Putin is the sole king of Russia for decades now! its simple common sense mate, to think otherwise will be naive.

Then you have the Panama papers

Look i am not saying they are all telling the truth, but Putin is one of the richest in the world, this is without a doubt, take a look at the assets he owns, its alone worth several billions.If a man owning assets worth several billions in public, how much will be he own in secret? you are not wrong on Rothchilds, but Putin is right up there somewhere as well

Do you think really that state own Russian oil companies will be able to do business without revenue sharing with the king? even if he owns 1 percent stake in Gazprom that is 2.5 billion dollars worth assets! and that just gazprom
 
All stats posted are rubbish, ofcourse RT will not state what civilian causalities are there on their side and US MSM the same! it's silly to think otherwise. Atleast NYT admits that US attacks on civilians are higher than previously reported, for once i want to see RT say the same about Russian killing of civilians.

"Over 200,000 Syrians remain in the Assad government's notorious prison system where inmates face a regime of torture and secret executions.

We met members of Families for Freedom, a campaign by Syrian women fighting to raise awareness for those still detained." - VICE

 
This is an interesting trend on the recent attacks on Russia's airbase in Latakia.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl....html?tid=pm_world_pop&utm_term=.0d365c9371e7

Shows how quickly the "future of warfare" has become real - swarm attacks by drones were the realm of IT futurist talk only a few years ago - now they are an established battlefield tactic.

Also, if the Russians really did lose a few SU-35s to mortar attacks, that's gotta hurt. Those things are not cheap.

Though in reality the boost to the Russian defence industry the Syria campaign has brought - and the SU-35 has been one of the major showpiece items and already export orders have started to come in on the back its performance in Syria - means they can wear a few losses.

I can't think of the retail term for factoring in stocklosses to shoplifting and the like of high end items that are big sellers anyway. But that's what Russia has worn with these losses.

The SU-35 is an amazing aircraft.

Its Cobra maneouvre is astounding.

Another interesting take, includes Russian press release:

I see the Americans are going to maintain a permanent presence in Syria. Essentially they are going to provide Suleimeini and the Quds Force with a permanent "sandbox" on which to practice their tactics against the US and observe the latest US tech and ensure they are completely ready for the Big Fight if and when it comes.

Big Fight be with the Sinos on mebbe proxy in Africa, special forces etc, like Libya, but greater stakes. Trump and American Scare is but deflection. not the same as me saying Syria is a deflection, that is not my position. My position is there is detente and Vlad is happy to have his Tartus port in the Med.
