Since the shooting down of the Russian war plane over Syria I’ve been talking and talking that the only possible option for the free world to win is to bring Iran into the game, now!
I want to see tens of thousands of Iranian soldiers on the border with Israel. Then and only then, the enemy will see that we mean business.
I think it is about time that you give us your assessment on Montenegro. Please do it, for us, the Serbs that are loyal to you.
Yesterday, NATO invited Montenegro to join the alliance. That in spite of the fact that over 70% of the citizens of that small Serbian state are against Montenegro’s entry into the alliance.
People will revolt, no doubt about that.
But they cannot win unless Russia helps them financially, in organization, maybe even militarily.
I am desperate to hear some positive thoughts about Montenegro situation, because if they enter NATO you can say – goodnight Serbia, and goodbye Serbia, forever. We will be completely surrounded by NATO and that’s the end of your only ally in the West.
That will finally destroy Serbia and Serbian people once and for all.
I have a friend living and working in MN and I still remember how surprised I was this summer when he was telling me about all the Russians in MN selling their real-estate and liquidating their enterprises. From that very moment it was clear as a day to me that MN is joining ZATO in the nearest future…
Besides, it’s not entirely true that Serbia will be completely surrounded by ZATO: have you forgotten about your Macedonian brethern in the South? Currently we are in a much more precarious position than you, in the form of another Empire-sponsored color revolution, threatening to take away our name, identity and cultural heritage (and perhaps even our statehood altogether).
Am I worried? Of course, but at the same time there is this glimmer of hope I feel knowing that an overwhelming majority of Macedonians see through the Empire’s lies and propaganda. That is the most important part because, as an old macedonian proverb goes – they can take away our possessions and freedoms, but they will never have our soul and spirit! Hell, we lived through 500 years of Ottoman tyranny to talk about it; what’s 50 years of Anglo-Zio propaganda in comparison? Hvatamo ih na kondiciju… ;)
Yes, you are in worse situation than Serbia, no doubt about that. If I were you, I would worry about Bulgaria more than anything else. The Empire promised them 70% of your territory for stopping the South Stream. And you know Bulgarians very well…from history.
Macedonian people see through AZ propaganda and lies, that is correct fortunately, but Macedonian government is both powerless and cowardly. Just look at the latest vote on Kosovo in UNESCO! What a bunch of miserable cowards. And they did that after Serbia helped Macedonia in every possible way during Kumanovo crises and the following unrests in Skoplje.
You are a landlocked country, just like us, and you should understand why Montenegro is of VITAL interest to the central Balkans.
I simply refuse to believe that Russia is going to let MN join NATO! I refuse! They have 70% of people there who do not want to be a part of the criminal alliance, tens of thousands were marching just a couple of weeks ago in Podgorica shouting: “NATO – nyet!” – in Russian!!!
Just one sharp public speech by Putin directed to the people of Montenegro would be enough to force Đukanović government to hold a referendum on NATO entry. No, no, no, I simply refuse to accept that Russia will betray the people of Montenegro. Not after their plane was shot down by Turkey, not after everything the West has done in Ukraine.
If Russia betrays people of Montenegro, there is no point in following the politics any more. At least for me.
I strongly doubt that Russia will give that word directly. But its up to the Montenegrin people. And the Serb people to give their own words. Seriously Russia has their hands full at the moment. Those thousands should be out in the streets right now demanding a referendum. They shouldn’t be doing it “for Russia”,they should be doing it for themselves. They will be the victims if war comes. So “they” should be working to save themselves from war. If they won’t,well,so be it.
And the same is true for the entire Balkan region. They would be a major background. And they “themselves” need to be protesting that. Has the “love” of “Western values” emasculated the entire male population of the Balkans. And if so,how can Russia fix that.
I agree with Uncle Bob. If the people of Montenegro really are determined not to become the latest pendant on the Zionist keychain, they should take things into their own hands – though entirely through legal procedure. That might feel like a Sisyphus’ task having in mind MN new Referendum Law took away the right of citizens to demand a plebiscit through collecting signatures. However, if the MN Constitutional Court is still loyal to its country, people and Constitution, then I believe constant public pressure to keep the question open is a great chance of influencing CC’s decision.
Your hopes about Russia can only be realised through a legitimate and legal process. Don’t forget that Russia is only intervening in countries that’ve explicitly demanded it from her and after exhausting all available legal means according to national and international law, unlike the Pax Americana Empire that invites itself to destroy the planet in order to rule it…
I doubt if Putin will interfere, it isn’t that he has his hands full, it’s likely because it doesn’t fit with his stated policy to focus on the interests of his own country: look at the difference between Crimea and Donbass. Actually this is wise on 2 fronts (although not easy for the Serbs):
1) It subtly protects the people of Serbia from further destabilization, and possible retribution by certain criminal members of NATO (Britain comes mind). If the war party in the US got it in their head that Putin cared about Serbia (at an emotional level), they would for sure start violence and destabilization in Serbia (to spite Putin and Russia). Putin has to demonstrate that he cannot be swayed by the ethnic brethren fact.
2) It prevents events in Serbia (which the west controls) from causing reactions in Russia – remember history.
A large state like Russia can handle multiple issues at a time, that is not the problem, the issue is to not hand over to your adversary a free lever arm to pull you into another conflict.
The Serbs have fight this on their own (I hope I’m wrong )via internal politics.
“Islamic State is the dirt of Imperialism. We know them well because we fight them for years. Their goal is to spread fear in the humanity. The peoples of Rojava [west of Kurdistan], having as a priority the respect of all religions, were not afraid ISIS”, said Dilber, the fighter of the Female Defense Teams in Rojava.
Bad news from the current filthy pro-western government of my country of Cyprus. Lavrov requested access to Cypriot facilities for the RuAF and Navy and was denied by the pro-Western Anastasiades regime.
I sincerely hope that Russia does everything to discourage Russians from visiting Cyprus for as long as Anastasiades remains in power (that is at least two more years) Russian businesses must also be encouraged to leave en masse. This will seriously harm the already fragile economy of Cyprus.
Our current government is so pro-NATO, that even when Russia is fighting our only real enemy (Turkey which occupied more than a third of our island for decades now) they still side with NATO and by extension, with Turkey!
S-300s now officially with Syria and soon with Iran.
People tend to forget that during the Iraq-imposed war on Iran 1980-1988 it was not Iran vs Iraq as Wikipedia has it.This War of ”Scared Defense” as the Iranians term it, was really Iran against Iraq and the other Gulf States along with The US and Israel(Bashar al-Assad father, Hafez al-Assad with the only Arab country to stand with Iran)
Saddam Hussein was fed Intelligence and chemical weapons by his Western patrons and he used both without pity. Still the Islamic Republic prevailed- notwithstanding the huge toll in human life(1 million by most estimated).
Comparatively speaking, Iran is even stronger today. Those goons in the Gulf with their Western supplied high tech toys and mercenary armies are no match for Iran’s indigenous weapons and the IRGC.
And as for Israel, S-300s or no S-300s, it is not match for Iran and Gen. Qassem Solemanei. It is one thing to gun down Palestinian women and children, but to come face to face with the Qods Force is something entirely different.
The humiliation suffered at the hands of Hezbollah in 2006 will be reflected upon fondly by the Israelis, after any confrontation with Iran.
Actually Russia was supposed to start delivery in 2016 but then after the SU24 shootdown I saw another headline saying they will deliver it end of 2015…
Dear mmirww,
You’re a good man, but given Russia’s piss-poor track record on this issue, I’ll believe it when I see it. Same way they broke their deal with Syria on this system (turning the ship back and not fulfilling their contract under Israeli and NATO pressure).
Note that Russia has given Israel assurances – so is the export version of the S-300 compromised? Given how Yeltsin had compromised the Iraqi Air-Force and air-defense during the first US- gulf war Turkey-shoot of the Iraqi air force, it’s hard to trust the systems being handed over to Iran.
PS the Israeli state formally admitted that they have carried out air strikes in Syria over the last 2 months (remember the fake palestinian paraglider cover story?). That means despite the S-400 or other air defense systems Israel acted with impunity in Syria, likely in coordination with the Russians. This means Russia allowed Israeli to destroy Hezbollah and Syrian militia forces in the Golan heights area. This is a very strange area in terms of rules of engagement.
Well, if nothing else the Jewish colonizer state of Israel…sorry, the only Western democracy in the Middle East… can just slaughter some more rock-throwing Palestinian teenagers.
That will certainly put the fear of Elohim in Iran.
Can someone comment that has knowledge of Iran fighting in Syria and Iraq? It seems from what I have read is they are always getting their asses kicked. Why? I mean from the propaganda they put out their forces are supposedly a mean lean fighting machine. What is the real story?
Not army.. Just militia.. means civilian volunteers with little training mostly to guard shrines and such.. But a lot of iranian advisors get fragged so a lot of these guys are spies and not to be trusted.. 3 Pakistani’s died last week.. The iranian military is different than th IRGC.. They are not active even in iraq… US even have problem with Iraqi shia militia.. Woudl nto think they would approve of iranian military in iraq.. US still control Iraq.. Just like how they control germany..
@Anonymous re Iranian forces keeps getting it ass kicked in Syria.
Exactly. I keep reading the same thing and from pro-Syrian government news sources. It really doesn’t tally with the hype I keep hearing on this site about the vaunted Iranian forces. This contrasts with Hezbollah that seems to be very skilled at killing their enemies while taking minimum casaulties themselves (truly come across as a quality fighting force).
It don’t know how to account for this. Perhaps it is partly to do with the following:
1) Iranians fight old-school; (like the Russian and Indian army) the commander leads the assault from the front not the rear (this leads to higher casualties among their officers) – believe several Iranian generals and colonels have recently been killed in Syria.
2) Iranian officers are the target of assassination by NATO , Israel, Turkish intelligence and the GCC countries sponsoring the Syrian insurgency. The first 3 mentioned parties are particularly effective at this type of activity.
3) Iranian training and expertise may not be as good as some hurrah patriots (by proxy) and cheerleaders are making it out to be. Their bravery and willingness to die is no substitute for competence and effectiveness (a good example is Hezbollah that proves its competence by both winning their missions with minimum casualties. )
Iran really needs to put both feet into the Syrian game. Very clear thatthe Syrian Arab Army is over stretched and underpowered after 5 years of brutal war of attrition against US, Saudi, Qatar, Israel and Turkey sponsored merceneries with their unlimited ammo, rockets, anti-tanks and anti-aircraft missiles.
The SAA lost territory because they ran out of ammo but those ISIL and Al-Nusra and their fake FSA get their airdropped by US and NATO aircraft.
No way SAA can close off the Turkey-Syrian border on their own. Iran needs to commmit their real mechanised army into the game now before US and Turkey carve out that area as their buffer zone.
Dont know about troops, Iran has sent militias.. both iranian and iraqi and others including pakistani’s including sunni’s.. Iran is watching because sending Iranian troops would be a red line for KSA. Iran has not even sent troops to iraq so I doubt they would send any to Syria. They probebally learnt from the best on what not to do.. The US.. Iranians not being arabs or even the same relegion.. IRGC has sent advisors and we see a general getting killed every week for months now. But last count less than 100 iranians have been killed but over 600 hizbolla..
Not sure what good Iranian air force is, they are very old and they gave away their SU25’s to iraq and syria.. Maybe it is only for show.. Russia is opening a helicopter pad at kuwaris with alligator attack helicopters.. Maybe the iranian jets are for air cover over damascus. But Israel never enters syrian air space, they shoot long range missiles and scoot.. Iran supposedly ordered 65 pantzir air defence systems, 35 of them for syria but some of them were sold to e.ukraine but its range is only like less than 40 km.. Not sure if Russia has activated them or not, after they shot down the turkish jet using a russian radar system part of the S300, russia took away all their codes and deactivated them.
For a country that is fully supporting Syria, Iran does not seem to have givn them much armaments at all.. Other wise the SAA using Iranian derivates of ATGM’s would have made a huge difference earlier this year when terrorists with TOW missiles blasted away all SAA defences and captured many large cities. BUT iran does give Syria oil and food and money.. Now Russia is bringing in a lot of weapons. It is all so very weird.. Everyone seems to wait until it is on the brink before helping.. We know both iran and Russia had problems an year ago with sanctons and such.. Iran still can not move until sanctons are lifted next year.. Maybe that is it..
Everyone is setting up for 2016.. It is going to be a blast.. Oh yea Russia has signed somethign with Egypt to use the Sues cannal for Russian naval vessels..
Mmirww where do you get all your info from? Please supply links, your posts are very interesting and detailed but it would be helpful if you supply sources too.
BTW you can’t compare Hizb casualties which are relatively low for the number of engagements they’ve participated in and keeping note of the fact that the toughest missions are assigned to them. Whereas with the Iranians, you can read of and see (YouTube) entire Iranian units being wiped out by An-Nusra/Daesh. No hezb group has been decimated by their adversaries, on the contrary, it’s Hezb that does the decimating.
You mentioned Pakistani volunteers fighting under Iran in Syria, that would be believable if these are Shia Pakistanis, however you mentioned that some of these Pakistani forces under Iran are Sunni – I find that incredible, would you be kind enough to provide your source so we could get further details.
That’s the stuff I want to see!!!
Since the shooting down of the Russian war plane over Syria I’ve been talking and talking that the only possible option for the free world to win is to bring Iran into the game, now!
I want to see tens of thousands of Iranian soldiers on the border with Israel. Then and only then, the enemy will see that we mean business.
Go Iran!
Victory, not martyrdom.
To even things out we need not only Iran but China. Theyre still not in the game, Im still not sure if they will step in on Russia’s side when SHTF.
Saker,

Too true! Exactly what US NATO loves doing to small countries, humiliating the big ones and feeding their own hate for humanity, never mentioned.

Fars News Agency @EnglishFars 7h7 hours ago
URGENT
Russian media say #Moscow has started delivery of S-300 air defense systems to #Tehran #Iran
Fars news agency exaggerates often, I’ll believe when I see it. Til then it remains a rumour.
Actually Russia was supposed to start delivery in 2016 but then after the SU24 shootdown I saw another headline saying they will deliver it end of 2015…

of course, the Zionist Empire will assert that: being able to defend yourself from them is an act of aggression.
Well, that was no doubt bracing and impressive. But it was not information.
Well, if nothing else the Jewish colonizer state of Israel…sorry, the only Western democracy in the Middle East… can just slaughter some more rock-throwing Palestinian teenagers.

Martyrdom is not a sound military tactic. Iran has won no war using this as their military doctrine.
