US Drones Attack Syria's Military, "Disguised as an Airstrike against ISIS"

Image
On September 11, a publication called Russian Spring reported US unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks on Syrian military positions - "disguised as an airstrike on ISIS."
Syrian journalists learned details of what's happening. Numerous civilians were killed. According to Syrian military sources, covert US drone strikes against its forces and positions happened before, part of Washington's phony war on ISIS.

On September 1, the Washington Post headlined "US launches secret drone campaign to hunt Islamic State leaders in Syria," saying:

CIA and US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operatives "are flying drones over Syria" - conducting targeted air strikes. WaPo lied claiming it's against "senior Islamic State operatives," citing official US sources.

The European Union has approved military action against human traffickers in the Mediterranean Sea, AFP reported, citing sources. The authorities plan to seize and destroy vessels to break up networks operating out of war-torn Libya.

In June, the EU launched European Union Naval Force Mediterranean (EUNAVFOR Med) "to undertake systematic efforts to identify, capture and dispose of vessels and enabling assets used or suspected of being used by migrant smugglers or traffickers." Now it will be allowed to stop and if necessary destroy boats which are used to carry illegal migrants.

"The conditions have been met" to launch the new phase of the military operation, one European diplomat told AFP.

Comment: So the EU can now destroy the migrant boats under the pretext that they are all operated by smugglers. And no mention of where the refugees on those boats will go.

The soldiers will be deployed when their help is required, Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said, Krone newspaper reported.

"If Germany carries out border controls, Austria must put strengthened border controls in place," Vice Chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner said in a joint news conference with Chancellor Werner Faymann. "We are doing that now."

Comment: Europe is really going through an upheaval and unable to handle the refugee situation. They reap what they have sown.

Russian air calvary coming to aid Syria, Washington's plans are up in the air

In light of the catastrophic outcome of the "western" war on Libya the Russian government declared to oppose any further such "regime change" in the Middle East. But the U.S. continues to train, arm and finance insurgents against the Syrian Arab Republic and, under the disguise of fighting the Islamic State, prepares to take down the Syrian government. Eliminating the Syrian government would likely create a radical jihadist state in Damascus and lead to massacres and mass refugee movements.

But Russia means what it says and will now use its military capabilities to confront the U.S. plans:

Czech Republic increases police forces on Austrian border after Germany reimposes border controls

A Czech national flag flies over protesters attending an anti-migrants demonstration on Sept. 12, 2015, in the capital Prague. The Czech Republic deployed more police to its border with Austria in response to a huge influx of refugees on Sept. 13, 2015.
The Czech Republic beefed up police forces along its border with Austria on Sunday, following a similar security measure by its western neighbor Germany to stem a huge flow of desperate refugees. Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said the move was "to ensure that laws and rules inside the Schengen zone are not violated," the Associated Press reported. He said his government will continue to assess the situation and will take further steps if needed.

Sobotka also said Germany's decision to temporarily reintroduce border controls on its Austrian frontier "could be expected ... as a reaction to tensions inside the Schengen area caused by the migrant crisis." Germany's move dealt a blow to two decades of open travel in the 26-nation bloc known as the Schengen area. The move also meant the Czech Republic was "now the only bypass" for refugees, Interior Minister Milan Chovanec reportedly told public Czech Television Sunday.

"We are doing our best to send a clear signal that we will observe the European law on our borders ... and boost the performance of our people on the border so that we would be able to return migrants to the neighboring country," said Chovanec, Agence France-Presse reported.

The Czech Republic in Central Europe has been a transit country for refugees and migrants wanting to travel to wealthier European countries like Germany and Sweden. As Europe's largest and richest economy, Germany has been a magnet for people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East. Police said more than 13,000 refugees arrived at the main train station in the southern city of Munich on Saturday alone, Reuters reported.

Denmark closes border with Germany as refugees walk the motorway

Denmark has closed its borders with Germany after thousands of refugees cross the country.
Denmark has closed its borders with Germany after chaotic scenes saw hundreds of refugees walking on a high-speed motorway in a bid to reach refugee promised land.

All road and rail links between Denmark and Germany have been closed to prevent thousands of migrants entering as the rift in Europe deepens further. The migrants were heading north to Sweden, which has become a top destination for refugees after promising to issue residency papers to all Syrian asylum seekers.

Having already reached Germany, which has offered similar promises, the migrants decided they wanted to get to Sweden but were forced off trains. It has led to the Danish government concluding those entering the country are economic migrants as well as refugees. A police spokesman said: "We are trying to talk to them and tell them that it is a really bad idea to walk on the motorway."

Munich struggles with refugee arrivals, halts Austrian trains, riot police deployed

It is unclear what form the border controls would take
Germany has reintroduced border controls with Austria, its interior minister has confirmed, halting all trains and deploying 2,100 riot police to help carry out checks.

Speaking at a press conference called at short notice, Thomas de Maizière said the controls were being applied with immediate effect "to bring some order to the entry of refugees".

While the exact nature of the checks remained unclear, the minister described them as a "safety measure" which was within the remit of the Schengen Agreement.

"In Germany the rules will be applied in order to protect refugees," De Maizière said. "Germany has shown a lot of willingness to help, there have been many helpers and volunteers, but this helpfulness must not be overstretched."

A spokesperson for an Austrian rail company said German officials had begun halting all trains trying to cross the border into Bavaria from 5pm local time (4pm BST), while the situation involving traffic going the other way remained unclear.

Reporting on the unexpected move earlier and citing unnamed officials, German daily Bild said the closing of the border represented "a dramatic shift in refugee policy".

Der Spiegel reported that only those with "valid travel documents" would be allowed to enter the country from Austria "until further notice". Refugees arrive in Munich

Tens of thousands of refugees have been arriving in southern Germany in recent weeks, with some reports suggesting around 13,000 reached Munich on Saturday alone.

According to Bild, the central government was sending 21 riot police squadrons, each of 100 officers, to help secure the border, after local officials issued a plea for more help from the federal force.

Kronen Zeitung, an Austrian daily, reported that there were concerns in Vienna of a backlog as people were subjected to additional checks to "determine immediately who is entitled to asylum".

It quoted unnamed government officials, who said: "Angela Merkel has assured Chancellor Werner Faymann in a telephone conversation that there will be no chaos."

Thomas Stobl, a senior member of Ms Merkel's Christian Democrats party (CDU), told Die Welt that he welcomed the return of controls.

"The controls that have been introduced on the border with Austria are the right thing to do," he said. "They'll enable us to at least slow down the acute inflows of refugees."

Comment: Europe, and especially Germany is now feeling the consequences of being a US vassal state.
