Russian military intervention and aid to Syria #9

Russia, Syria and Iran Have Made a Mess of Their Military Alliance
Each country is waging its own war in Syria

At the first look, the alliance between Iran, Russia and Syria seems to be based on decades-old friendship and plenty of mutual interests. However, the Syrian civil war is revealing ever-bigger differences between the governments in Moscow and those in Damascus and Tehran.

On June 9, 2016, Iranian minister of defense Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehghan welcomed the minister of defense of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Sergey Kuzhugetovic Shoygu and the minister of defense of the Syrian Arab Republic — and chief of the general staff of the army and the armed forces of Syria —Col.-Gen. Fahd Jassem Al Freij for a meeting in Tehran.

According to official Russian reports, prior to this meeting, Shoygu announced that between topics discussed would include “priority measures in reinforcing the cooperation between the defense ministries of the three countries in the fight with the Islamic State” and Jabhat Al Nusra.

Russian Military Delivers 5 Tonnes of Relief Supplies to Syrian Christians in Latakia

“The food was distributed among the people in need. A list with their names was provided by the senior priest of the Church of Saint Andrew the Apostle,” Vladimirov said.

Up to 500 local residents received packages with individual food rations, canned fish and meat, flour, pasta and cereals. Children were also given waffles, pastries and sweets. Military doctors also deployed a mobile first-aid post and extended medical care to all those needing it.

I remeber this article, it is old and full of holes:

-Lavrov is not stupid enough to actually believe that USA is interested in political solution. That part is fan fiction.

-No way Russian will commit itself to ground operation, no way they are that stupid. They managed to avoid that mistake for very long time.

-Entire article is an excuse for SAA's idiotic incompetence. They say they were about to make a breakthrough after 3 months? They should have done that after less than a month.

Lot's of wishful thinking on the journalist's side, that is all.

Russia will commit to a ground operation, it's vital in Aleppo. Hizbullah pulled out, and Iran's troops need Fam Course with their new Russian tools. When and on what proportion, that's a completely different matter.

If Russia actively provides help, the 5th columnists will say "Russia invades Syria". If Russia provides less help, the 5th columnists will say "cold-blooded Russia doesn't want to fight terrorists".

We have a saying: the tongue does not have bone inside and therefore it can twist in many ways.
