“Russia Update: Now Mobilization of 300,000 Troops!”
Fatima Watch
“On Monday, August 29, we reported that
Russia had mobilized Reserve Army Troops for the first time since the
1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. Today, Tuesday August 30, we have found
that the total mobilization is actually 80 mobilization brigades. About
10 tank brigades, 30 motor rifle brigades, 20 artillery and 20 other
support brigades. So about 300,000 men.
SuperStation95 has reached out to our
contacts in the Pentagon, The Intelligence Community and the State
Department and the answers we’re getting are very serious. According to
the Pentagon, there has never been a mobilization like this in Russia
before. The shear size of it is described by seasoned Pentagon officials
as “staggering!” According to two separate sources in the Intelligence
Community, various intel sources indicate the Russians intend to take
action- but they are not certain if that action will be in Ukraine,
Syria or… Turkey. The fear is that the size of this mobilization may
mean “all of the above.”
Our source in the Pentagon put it this
way: “Russia has also mobilized divisions of the National Guard, and the
NAF is mobilizing its reserves to go from 35,000 men to 95,000. Russia
has assured this will be a coalition war by sending its CSTO allies to
the Belarussian-Polish border. So that includes units from Russia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. When
you count it all up, Russia and allies now have something like half a
million men on alert opposite Ukraine, the Baltics and Poland. I’ve
never seen anything like it.”
Let’s recap a little as to how things
got so bad. In Ukraine, the lawfully and democratically elected
President, Yanukovich, was overthrown after tens of thousands of Ukraine
citizens protested- often violently- for months. It turned out that it
was the United States and its NATO allies who bankrolled the protesters,
to the tune of five Billion dollars! This was proven when Russian
intelligence tapped a phone call between Deputy Secretary of State
Gloria Nuland and her staff in the US State Department. Recordings of
that conversation were made public by Russia and contained the infamous
comment by Nuland “F**k Europe.”
The reason the US and NATO bankrolled
the overthrow of the Ukrainian government was due to the fact that
Yanukovich was aligned with Moscow. The US and NATO wanted Ukraine to be
more aligned with the West, but Yanukovich wouldn’t budge. So the US
and NATO bankrolled protests and ultimately, Yanukovich had to flee for
his life into Russia. That allowed the US and NATO to set up a puppet
government in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, which is now favorable to the
west.
When the former Soviet Union
disintegrated in 1991, Russia sought- and was given- a guarantee by the
US: NATO would “not move even one inch east” toward Russia. That
promise, by then Secretary of State James Baker, turned out to be
totally false. In a short time span, the former Soviet states of
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania applied for membership in NATO and it was
granted. Next came Poland and Romania. Granted.
Left in all this change was Ukraine,
until the west moved to overthrow that government. This overthrow was
intolerable by the Russians. For years, Moscow watched as NATO not only
moved one-inch further east, but made giant leaps and was now
positioning troops and armor along Russia’s western Border. When the
Ukraine government was overthrown, Russia took action.
They began by moving about twenty
thousand troops to their Black Sea Naval Fleet base in southern Ukraine;
a peninsula called Crimea. Within days, those troops moved out into
Crimea and annexed the peninsula. They claimed that Crimea was once part
of Russia- it was- but was given to Ukraine by Khruschev. They also
claimed that ethnic Russians inside Crimea were being discriminated
against by Kiev and they wanted to return to being part of Russia. A
Referendum was held and more than 80% of the voters in Crimea voted to
return to Russia.
The US and NATO countries claimed the
referendum was fraught with fraud and will not recognize the movement of
Crimea back into Russia. The US and NATO imposed economic sanctions
upon Russia until Crimea is given back to Ukraine. Russia has made
clear, Crimea is now a permanent part of Russia and it is not going
anywhere.
After Crimea was annexed, Ethnic
Russians in eastern Ukraine, near Donbas and Luhansk, reported they were
being “ethnically cleansed” by the Kiev government. They called to
Russia for help. Shortly thereafter, “little green men” in brand new,
unmarked army uniforms, armed with state of the art weapons systems
including tanks, missile launchers and the like, began appearing in
eastern Ukraine and forcing the Ukraine authorities out. Thus began a
proxy war in eastern Ukraine between Russia and Ukraine/US/NATO. But the
US and NATO have to move cautiously because Ukraine is NOT a member of
NATO.
The Ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine
have made great strides and fighting in that part of Ukraine tends to be
fierce. The fighting has now gone on for a couple years, and given
developments around the world, it appears that this fight will be
brought to a violent conclusion by a massive Russian invasion.
Intel analysts believe the invasion will
take place in September, after the G-20 Summit in China. They also know
that the Russians can move with so much power, so many troops and so
much armor, that Ukraine would fall within days, with NATO utterly
powerless to do anything about it.
In the interim, Syria has been faced
with US (and NATO) backed “rebels” trying to overthrow its
democratically elected President, Bashar Assad. The trouble began with a
memo written by then-Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who wrote
that Assad needed to be overthrown “to help Israel.” In fact, it was
Assad’s refusal to allow a gas pipeline from Qatar to traverse Syria to
supply Europe with natural gas, that actually caused the trouble.
Syria is- and has always been- an ally
of Russia. Europe does not like being so dependent upon Russian gas
supplies, so the Arabs in Qatar agreed to run a huge gas pipeline from
Qatar through several countries, including Syria, then on to Europe. But
Assad in Syria knew this would harm Russia, so he refused the pipeline.
That’s when a whole slew of “Friends of Syria” started calling Assad a
“brutal dictator” and also began arming “rebels” to overthrow him.
When things got bad for Syria, Assad
pleaded with Russia for military assistance, and Russia agreed. The
Russians made incredible strikes throughout Syria, clobbering both ISIS
Terrorists and US-Backed Rebels. This did not sit well with US and NATO
ally, Turkey, which was caught accepting stolen oil from ISIS, and
supplying ISIS with weapons to overthrow Assad! So Turkey asked Russia
to stop attacking the rebels and Russia refused. Turkey then shot down a
Russian Fighter jet. Big mistake.
Turkey then made moves to get back into
the good graces of Russia, which lead to an alleged military coup
attempt to overthrow Turkish President Erdogan. The Turkish president
was quick to blame the United States for the attempted Coup and
relations between the US and Turkey got so bad, so fast, that the US had
to remove its 50-80 nuclear weapons from Turkey’s Incirlik air base
because the US no longer trusts Turkey.
Throughout these affairs, Turkey has
pushed to introduce its ground troops into Syria under the guise of
“fighting ISIS.” But since everyone now knows that ISIS is pals with
Turkey, and that Turkey supports ISIS, it is clear to everyone who pays
attention, that Turkey’s real goal is to assist ISIS and overthrow
Bashar Assad of Syria to get the Qatar pipeline built.
Prior to Turkey sending in its troops,
both the Syrian and Russian governments announced to the entire world
“If any foreign troops enter Syria without the permission of the Syrian
government, those troops will be attacked.” Turkey has now flatly
ignored that warning and sent troops and tanks into northern Syria.
According to a source in the US State
Department, negotiations between the US and Russia for resolution of
“the Syria problem” have failed. With no Diplomatic solution in sight,
the State Department is terrified that Russia is going to settle the
Syria problem by force by attacking and destroying the remaining Rebels
(and ISIS) and by totally smashing the Turksh Army units inside Syria.
Turkey is a member of NATO and would
likely try to invoke the NATO defense Treaty if their troops were
attacked. But Turkey won’t be able to invoke that Treaty because Turkish
troops illegally entered Syria! So it look as though Turkey is going to
be left swinging in the breeze by NATO as Russia comes in and stomps
them out of Syria. In order for Russia to accomplish operations in both
Ukraine and Syria, they would need about two hundred thousand to three
hundred thousand men. Exactly the numbers they have just mobilized.
See where this is going? World War 3. After the G-20 Meeting in China. The 11th G20 Summit will be held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang on September 4 and 5. Watch for it.
Suprised? The US mass-media is the ONLY
mass-media worldwide which is NOT covering all these developments.
Everyone else around the world knows things are coming to a fight; it’s
just folks in the USA being kept ignorant. Must be the Obama
“transparency” at work.”
US slams Turkey over ‘unacceptable clashes’ with Syria opposition, says they aid ISIS
The US says clashes between Turkish forces and opposition groups
in northern Syria are “unacceptable.” Washington is concerned this will
take the focus away from fighting Islamic State and give the terrorist
group the possibility to capture more territory.
Turkey’s
use of force against Kurdish forces in Syria has not gone down well
with the US, with Washington openly supporting the Kurdish YPG fighters,
who have proved to be a vital ground force in the battle against
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
"We want to make clear that we find these clashes - in areas where ISIL is not located - unacceptable and a source of deep concern," Brett McGurk, the special presidential envoy for the coalition to counter Islamic State, said on his official Twitter account, citing a Defense Department statement.
"We call on all armed actors to stand down... the US is actively engaged to facilitate such deconfliction and unity of focus on ISIL, which remains a lethal and common threat."
During Monday’s press briefing, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter also urged Turkey to concentrate its ground campaign in Syria on fighting Islamic State.
"We have called upon Turkey... to stay focused on the fight against ISIL and not to engage Syrian Defense Forces, and we've had a number of contacts over the last several days," Carter told reporters.
However, Turkey reacted angrily to the American rebuke, with its minister for European Union affairs, Omer Celik, saying no one could tell Ankara which terrorist group it was allowed to target.
"No one has the right to tell us which terrorist organization we can fight against and which one to ignore," Celik told a news conference in Ankara, as cited by Reuters.
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has issued a stark warning to Kurdish Syrian forces, saying they must “immediately” withdraw east of the Euphrates River, otherwise they would face more strikes from Turkish forces.
"The YPG has to immediately cross east of the Euphrates River as they promised the United States and as they announced they would," Cavusoglu said, as cited by AP. "If they don't they will be a target."
Ankara is worried that Kurdish forces are trying to extend their area of control along Turkey’s southern border. Turkey has been involved in a three-decade-long conflict with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is based in the southeast of the country.
Washington has also reiterated a demand to the Syrian Kurds that they cross the Euphrates. The US says that such a movement has “largely occurred,” while fighters from the US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), which includes Syrian Kurdish militias, say they have withdrawn south following the Turkish offensive.
"We, the Military council of Jarablus and its countryside,
announce the withdrawal of our forces to the line south of the Sajour
River to preserve the lives of civilians and so that no pretext remains
for continued strikes on villages and civilians," an online statement from the military council said, as cited by Reuters.
On August 24, Turkey launched a ground operation in Syria codenamed ‘Shield of Euphrates.’ Despite saying it is fighting IS, Turkey has been bombarding Syrian Kurdish YPG militia positions over the last few days and Kurdish officials believe this could be part of a wider goal from Ankara to suppress the Syrian Kurds.
"Turkey's claims that it is fighting the YPG west of the Euphrates have no basis in truth and are merely flimsy pretexts to widen its occupation of Syrian land," Redur Xelil, chief spokesman for the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, told Reuters.
On Sunday, Ankara said it killed 25 Kurdish fighters, including from the SDF during airstrikes near Jarablus. The assault came “in response to attacks on advancing Turkish-backed rebels” operating in the area.
Representatives of the Kurdish-backed SDF said on Sunday that Turkish airstrikes and shelling of predominantly Kurdish positions in northeast Syria led to civilian casualties.
The current Turkish operation in Syria has been slammed by Damascus as a “blatant violation of sovereignty.” Following the intrusion, the Russian Foreign Ministry also said it was “deeply worried” about the latest development.
