Comment: The relentless Russian onslaught on the terrorists should help the Syria army regain the country and bring back stability so the people living there can decide on their future.

Russian and Iranian foreign ministers agreed to increase coordination between the two countries in an effort to normalize the situation in Syria.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reached an agreement with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif to increase cooperation to ensure safety and stability in the Middle East, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Saturday, following a phone conversation between the two ministers.

"The ministers agreed to further strengthen cooperation between Russia and Iran in the interests of stability and security in the Middle East," the Foreign Ministry said.

Comment: These visits are very loud, and very important, messages sent to Washington:

'The jig is up' - Assad's visit to Moscow sends another serious message to the U.S.

Also see:
As much as US President Barack Obama tried to dismiss it, the Russian sale of the S-300 missile system to Iran is a monumental game-changer. Even with the added gambit of the Iranian military assuring the made in Iran Bavar 373 may be even more efficient than the S-300.

This explains why Jane's Defense Weekly was already saying years ago that Israel could not penetrate Iranian airspace even if it managed to get there. And after the S-300s Iran inevitably will be offered the even more sophisticated S-400s, which are to be delivered to China as well.

The unspoken secret behind these game-changing proceedings actually terrifies Washington warmongers; it spells out a further frontline of Eurasian integration, in the form of an evolving Eurasian missile shield deployed against Pentagon/NATO ballistic plans.

Western media said Russian navy had collapsed - Syrian conflict proves them wrong

The Russian Navy has shown its true strength with small, mobile ships capable of launching cruise missiles, engaging in long-term operations and providing air support.

The US media was wrong to call Russia's military weak, as the country has been able to conduct an effective operation in Syria, former US Navy commander and Brookings Institution fellow Garrett Campbell wrote.

Russia's Navy in particular has been singled out in the US media as being "weak," although it has been substantially modernized and many of its existing vessels are newly-built. Russia's Caspian flotilla, in particular, has been able to exceed US capabilities by stationing cruise missiles on relatively small vessels.

Comment: The West is completely backwards when it comes to just about everything:

NATO may not be that mighty after all, according to US Navy Adm. John Richardson, who urged the alliance to update its naval strategy, at the same time raising alarm over Russia's "growing prowess" and lamenting that it "threatens the ability of the US and its allies to operate in the Black and Baltic Seas."

Russia has demonstrated growing prowess with its ships and demonstrated a willingness to use military coercion, The Wall Street Journal quotes US Navy Adm. John Richardson, who recently became Chief of Naval Operations, as saying at a meeting in Venice with the top naval officers of Europe.

"Their operational tempo has risen to levels not seen in over a decade," the US Navy Chief said, sounding obviously alarmed. "Their proficiency is increasing."

Comment: After years of unrestrained global aggression NATO is now shaking in their boots. Also see:

Turkish whistleblowers corroborate Seymour Hersh story on false flag sarin attack in Syria

turkish false flag sarin attack hearings
© CihanCHP deputies Eren Erdem (L) and Ali Şeker attend a news conference in İstanbul on Wednesday claiming proof of Turkish involvement in sarin gas attack in Syria.
This is quite the bombshell delivered by two CHP deputies in the Turkish parliament and reported by Today's Zaman, one of the top dailies in Turkey.

It supports Seymour Hersh's reporting that the notorious sarin gas attack at Ghouta was a false flag orchestrated by Turkish intelligence in order to cross President Obama's chemical weapons "red line" and draw the United States into the Syria war to topple Assad.

If so, President Obama deserves credit for "holding the line" against the attack despite the grumbling and incitement of the Syria hawks at home and abroad.

And it also presents the unsavory picture of an al-Qaeda operatives colluding with ISIL in a war crime that killed 1300 civilians.

I find the report credible, taking into full account the fact that the CHP (Erdogan's center-left Kemalist rivals) and Today's Zaman (whose editor-in-chief, Bulent Kenes was recently detained on live TV for insulting Erdogan in a tweet) are on the outs with Erdogan.

"Lavrov especially emphasized the need for consistent implementation of the relevant UN resolutions relating to countering the Islamic State, Jebhat Nusra and other terrorist groups, as well as ... to restoring peace and stability in Syria based on respect for and guarantees of legitimate rights of all ethnic and religious groups in the country," the statement reads.

Comment: Russia keeping it real and requesting all countries to abide by the law. Russia is trying to keep the UN relevant. Is there any chance and enough pressure for the US to change their ways?

Russia says it is ready to provide air support, in the form of airstrikes, to help Syrian opposition forces, like the Free Syrian Army, who are fighting Islamic State, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavorov says.

Russia's top diplomat also added that Washington is making a big mistake by refusing to coordinate their anti-terror campaign with Moscow.

"We are ready to back the patriotic opposition, including the so-called Free Syrian Army, with our air support. However, Washington is refusing to inform us of the locations of the terrorists and where the opposition is based," Lavrov said in an interview with the Rossiya television channel.

"The most important thing for us is to find people who will be true representatives of the armed groups who will confront terrorism among other things," he added.

Comment: Russia's offer is consistent with its overall strategy. Only by having dialogue with one's opponents can any sort of lasting peace be achieved.

The Western media has only two tools. One is the outrageous lie. This overused tool no longer works, except on dumbshit Americans.

The pinpoint accuracy of the Russian cruise missiles and air attacks has the Pentagon shaking in its boots. But according to the Western presstitutes the Russian missiles fell out of the sky over Iran and never made it to their ISIL targets.

According to the presstitute reports, the Russia air attacks have only killed civilians and blew up a hospital.


Comment: Russian missiles crashing in Iran was a load of 'wishful thinking'

No other world leader engages in dialog with political scientists like Putin does with Valdai International Discussion Club

Aside from Russian President Vladimir Putin, no other world leaders communicate with foreign political scientists and journalists in the same way as the format offered by the Valdai International Discussion Club, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.

On Thursday, Putin took part in a plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club where he spoke to political scientists and representatives of other states, as well as answering journalists' questions.

"I would like to draw your attention to the words of yesterday's moderator [Robert] Legvold of Columbia University, who said that this is indeed a unique format for dialogue, and that virtually none of the heads of state in the world follow the same practice of communicating with foreign political scientists, as does President Putin," Peskov said.

Peskov noted that Putin "in detail communicated with our [Russian] and foreign journalists and the participants of the Valdai [International Discussion Club]."

The 12th annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club was held in the Russian city of Sochi. The forum aims to promote dialogue between the Russian and international intellectual community.

Bankrupting your allies: US manipulation of oil price bites Saudi Arabia

Washington's objective was to pressure Iran, Russia and Venezuela, but instead their main ally in the Middle East is headed for bankruptcy. The U.S.-backed devious manipulation of the international prices of oil has backfired on their main ally in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, who according to expert predictions revealed Friday could go bankrupt within the next five years because 90 percent of their revenues come from petroleum exports.

Saudi Arabia is the biggest economy in the Middle East and the staunchest producer of oil worldwide, but by the end of this year the country will face a budget of 21.6 percent and a further 19.4 percent in 2016, according to the International Monetary Fund's latest regional economic outlook.

The Saudis are currently facing the worst budget deficit in over six years, and an US$82 billion drop in net foreign assets in the first eight months of the year. The U.S.-controlled IMF urged the Saudi government to readjust their spending or face the consequences.

Comment: Because when you're going broke, that makes so much sense. Maybe it does when you are buying from the world's bully.

As far as 'pressuring' Russia, that little gambit appears to be a bust, thanks to the strategists in the Kremlin, who easily foresaw that Russia's dependence on oil revenues was a potential trap. Russia has taken solid steps to assure its economic self-reliance.
