Is there truth in the conspiracy theories about who killed Russian Lieutenant General Valery Asapov in Syria? - US States News
The Russian air force arrived in Syria two years prior this week to save President Bashar al-Assad and his military. The Syrian army held out, yet at the expense of (at that point) 56,000 of its officers. “We do not have another Afghanistan here,” the Russians told everyone they met in Damascus. Obviously, soon they would have forward air spectators on the ground to vector their Sukhois onto their objectives, de-mining experts to pull the forests of Isis bombs out of the soil, military police to regulate the entry of Islamist contenders out of Syria's incredible western urban communities. , last week, to be murdered – in Syria.
The death of Lieutenant General Valery Asapov in the suburbs of Deir Ezzor as he assisted Syrian officers in their recovery of the city – encompassed by Isis for a long time, its regular citizen populace and something like 10,000 Syrian troops resupplied by helicopter – was given little consideration in the Western media.
The Kurdish assault on Raqqa with a sprinkling of Arabs to cover the Kurdish face of the pseudo-Syrian 'Democratic Forces' state army and with the assistance of American air attacks took ahead of everyone else in the Western Middle East news plan. In any case, the Russian Defense Ministry took the passing of their most astounding positioning officer in Syria – alongside two Russian colonels – truly to be sure.
They were correct. General Asapov was the administrator of the Russian fifth armed force in the Far East Russian city of Ussiriysk, not a long way from Vladivostok.

Furthermore, how could he pass on? As indicated by the Russians, he was murdered under shellfire from Isis powers outside Deir Ezzor, a remarkable bit of focusing on – assuming, for sure, Isis was working away at the directions – for a group which usually wastes artillery shells by the hundred in order to hit their enemies.
Did they realize that he was visiting this specific military position? assuming this is the case, who instructed them to flame so accurately? Or was this a possibility accomplishment for a defeated Islamist armed force?
By US States Hub These inquiries were asked at once by the Syrian armed force's high command. Also, by the Russians who a week ago blamed the US military in eastern Syria of the direct joint effort with the "Islamic State". A few sites, including Global Research, took the conspiratorial view that Asapov's demise was the backhanded work of US powers – who were, they stated, giving free section through Isis to the "SDF" to reach Raqqa.
I've never been a devotee to plots yet very few months prior, the US aviation based armed forces shelled and killed many of Syria's military safeguards in Deir Ezzor. In the quick result, Isis swarmed forward and cut the city down the middle. Odd, isn't it, that the US – so edgy at an opportunity to wreck Isis in Mosul – didn't bomb these new Isis focuses as they got through the Syrian lines after US air teams had "mistakenly" murdered the Syrian troops.
I often run over Russian troop units in Syria – particularly around Aleppo, in Homs, in Palmyra and further south. Early this late spring, the Syrians took me to a strategic participation base close to the Euphrates river where I met a Russian air force colonel – Yevgeni by name – and his Kurdish partner who, with Syrian officers, were entrusted to stay away from any wrong air strikes by the three sides. The Russians had accidentally bombed a Kurdish unit a few days earlier.
So it’s not as if the Russians and the Syrians and the Kurds battling for the Americans don't realize what each other are doing.
The recovery of the junction town of Qaryatain, south of Homs, a week ago did, be that as it may, have an Afghan flavor about it. Any Russian troopers who have perused the historical backdrop of their "constrained intercession" of 1979 – Brezhnev's portrayal of their intrusion – know extremely well that it was so natural to catch a town and afterward lose it to the fore again the minute they go ahead to the following city.
What's more, here we may come back to a man I've never been extremely attached to, however, whose astuteness on Iraq during the 1920s – and by augmentation Iraq and Syria today – is still perused by military men of all sides in the Middle East.
In a 1929 release of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, TE Lawrence composed of Turkish powers battling his own Arab Revolt in the 1914-18 war. He may have been writing of Isis as it attacks the Syrians and Russians today. He asked of the radicals, some of whom he drove, "… assume they were an impact, a thing resistant, impalpable, without front or back, floating about like a gas? Armed forces resembled plants, stationary in general, firm-established, sustained through long stems to the head.
[The Arabs] may be a vapor." Lawrence even composed that "the printing press is the best weapon in the arsenal of the cutting edge [guerrilla] leader". Today – still, regardless of its thrashings and its false cases – the web is the best weapon in the arsenal of Isis.
According to US States Hub The Russians have perused this. So have the Syrians. Thus, apparently, have Isis. They didn't require Lawrence to rouse them – they have Saudi Wahhabism to do that – in spite of the fact that the facts confirm that a British flying machine dropped a purposeful publicity sheet over Riyadh amid the First World War, cautioning master Turkish Arabs that they would be "sold" in the event that they didn't bolster the Islamic Caliphate, so the British guaranteed at the time, spoke to the Arabs in rebellion against the Ottoman realm.
It is trite to express that history rehashes itself in the Middle East – it does this all over the place, even in Germany and Catalonia – yet those "vapors" have not left. Nor will they, regardless of whether Assad's military triumph is finished and Iraq's military can control its western territories. For by at that point, we'll be managing Kurdistan once more, changing its own history of selling out. Russia is probably going to stay away from that specific war. Until further notice.
I’ve never been a believer in plots but not many months ago, the US air force bombed and killed dozens of Syria’s army defenders in Deir Ezzor. In the immediate aftermath, Isis swarmed forward and cut the city in half.
ReplyDeleteWeren't the strikes and the offensive that "cut the city in half" months apart?
