Putin: Justifiably outraged

OUTRAGE: The Americans have reportedly bombed a Syrian base

Syria’s military has claimed the Americans have bombed an eastern base surrounded by ISIS militants – allowing the extremists to advance. It could be a major blow to the shaky ceasefire agreement and give the jihadi fanatics a boost in their fight for survival.The timing couldn’t be worse – as tensions are already high between Russia and the United States.And to make matters worse, Britain has now admitted involvement in the strike.

SIDEBAR: The fight against ISIS

The fight against Islamic State continues in Iraq, surrounding areas and in Afghanistan.

“The White House is defending Islamic State”—Russian spokesman

62 Syrian soldiers were killed and over 100 injured.

The bombing took place on al-Tharda Mountain in the region of Deir ez-Zor.

A Russian spokesman blasted: “We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending the Islamic State. (This is diplomatic talk. The Russians and the informed world have known this ugly fact for years. The Greanville Post alone has rerouted and commented on this numerous times.—Editors)

“Now there can be no doubts about that.”

Russia’s Major-General Igor Konashenkov, added: “If [as the Americans claim] the airstrike was caused by the wrong coordinates of targets then it’s a direct consequence of the stubborn unwillingness of the American side to coordinate with Russia in its actions against terrorist groups in Syria.

“Immediately after the airstrike by coalition planes, Islamic State militants launched their offensive.”

Fierce fighting with the terrorists is currently under way in the area of the airport where for a long a time humanitarian aid for civilians was parachuted.

Last week, Moscow and Washington agreed to influence the Syrian government and the so-called moderate rebel forces respectively in order to establish a ceasefire in the country.Since then, Russia has repeatedly complained that the US is failing to keep its part of the bargain. [This is standard operating procedure for the US, which uses these cease-fires as p.r. for its own continuing wars in the Middle East and to give a respite to its tacit allies, ISIS, al-Qaeda, etc., to regroup and go back to the battlefield.—Editors] While the Americans have blamed Russia for not pressuring Damascus enough to facilitate humanitarian access to Syria.
