Major Escalation: Trump to Promote US Killing Russians as Proof He’s Not Putin’s Puppet

(ZHE) — In the aftermath of Robert Mueller’s indictment against 13 Russian “operatives” for meddling with the US presidential election, President Trump has been under fire for lashing out at everyone… except Russia. So, in response, Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration is weighing citing the deaths of more than 200 Russian fighters – or rather mercenaries – in […]

Triumph in Deir Ezzor, Syria

 

 

Syrian and allied forces, greatly aided by Russian aerial operations, broke ISIS’ three-year siege of Deir Ezzor governorate, an important achievement toward liberating the area entirely.

 

Russian warplanes killed ISIS’ emir and minister of war in the city with powerful bunker busting bombs.

 

ISIS’ siege of Deir Ezzor’s military airport was broken, located two km east of the city. Western Deir Ezzor’s Panorama area was liberated, ISIS’ front lines overrun. 

 

Syrian forces regained full control over the strategic Sukhnah-Deir Ezzor highway, opening another route to the governorate’s capital. The area’s Teym oilfield was retaken. So were Tal Rubiyat and Khim Defaa, high ground on Deir Ezzor’s outskirts.

 

Government and allied forces continue advancing toward routing ISIS’ last stronghold in the country decisively. 

 

Russia’s Defense Ministry issued the following statement:

 

“Syrian government troops, with the support of the Russian Air Force, achieved a serious success, inflicting a devastating defeat on Daesh units in the area of the city of Deir Ezzor, which exceed(ed) in scale all previous (Syrian) victories over the past three years.”

 

“Currently, the government troops under the command of Gen. Suheil Hassan together with the units, which had been under the siege at the Syrian military airbase, are widening the corridor between the airfield and Deir Ezzor, carrying out successful military actions on (ISIS) flanks.”

 

ISIS is battered, not defeated, but greatly weakened from its earlier strength – a major achievement for Syrian and allied forces, Russian airpower playing a crucial role.

 

Retaking the city entirely will eliminate its last major stronghold, dealing a significant blow to US and Israeli imperial aims.

 

US media scoundrels reported nothing about Russo/Syrian military successes, downplayed them, or pretended US-backed forces launched an offensive against ISIS in Deir Ezzor.

 

Washington and its rogue allies support ISIS. So-called US-backed forces are anti-Syria terrorists. 

 

Deir Ezzor lies in the heart of the country’s oilfields. US military strategists want control over them. 

 

Buoyed by breakthroughs against ISIS, Syrian and allied forces have the upper hand. Liberating the city entirely seems just a matter of time.

Russian Warplanes Kill ISIS Emir and War Minister in Deir Ezzor, Syria

 

On September 8, a Russian Defense Ministry statement said the following:

 

“After confirming the information received and conducting additional reconnaissance, two Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft of Russia’s Aerospace Forces were scrambled from the Hmeymim air base, which made a pinpoint strike with bunker busting bombs. The air strike destroyed an underground terrorist command post, a communications center and about 40 militants of Daesh” – including war minister Gulmurod Khalimov, dying “from a lethal injury,” adding: 

“Effective actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces made it possible to speed up the unblocking of the city of Deir Ezzor and allow the Syrian troops to start its immediate liberation.” 

“According to confirmed information, four influential field commanders were among the destroyed militants, including ‘the Sharif (emir) of Deir Ezzor,’ Abu Muhammad al-Shimali who was responsible for finance as well as redeployment of new recruits to Daesh training camps.”

 

Shimali was a Saudi national, affiliated with al-Qaeda in Iraq before joining ISIS, a key terrorist leader eliminated.

 

Pre-dawn on Friday, Syrian and allied forces liberated ash-Shula from ISIS control, a strategic town west of Deir Ezzor, the last major one along the route to the city. Liberating it entirely could come in days.

 

Achieving it will be a major step toward defeating the scourge of US-supported ISIS in Syria. Reports indicate its fighters are scrambling to leave the city, infighting among its members occurring as Syrian forces advance closer to their positions, aerial operations greatly aiding them.

 

Sergey Lavrov called breaking ISIS’ siege of Deir Ezzor “an important milestone in the war on terror in Syria,” adding: 

“Now that the siege is broken, conditions have been created for achieving another important task, which is the liberation of Deir Ezzor from terrorists.”

 

“The Syrian troops supported by our aerospace force continue its activities aimed at achieving this goal.” 

ISIS in Syria faces defeat, Russian Chief of General Staff Gen. Sergey Rudskoy said in response to military successes against its fighters in Deir Ezzor.
