Has anyone looked at the pictures from that "Israeli air strike" that happened on Sunday? The Western media has barely been reporting on it at all, even though it happened
hours after reports of the Syrian gas attack. You can find
snippets of it here and there but for the most part the reports aren't really hitting our shores, even though the news is three days old and there's more focus on this Syrian development than really any other story in circulation at this time.
They're very unusual pictures for what's alleged to be an air raid, though. None of the cars are
pushed out of position and they just look like they've been immolated like
any other car fire and are packed with bullet holes. None of the wall panels are blown out in any meaningful way and the
roof is still intact, and almost all of the damage to the building on the outside is just a torrential
shitmess of bullet holes fired down near ground-level, and no actual damage is done to the floor. No craters, no blast holes, not even cracked cement or debris pushed outside of the building, like you'd expect from an aerial bomb strike. This doesn't bear the markings of any aerial munitions that I'm aware of, this looks more like a commando raid.
Has Israel
ever bombed Syria in response to Assad doing
anything to his own people? Think about that
really hard, now.
Besides that, did you realize that when the story surfaced a month ago about that
massive attack that was carried out on "Russian mercenaries" where-in more than 300 of them died overnight trying to raid the Deir ez-Zor oil field, there was never so much as a
single mention of any air support on their side? Isn't that a bit unusual for a military that's consistently boasting about its aerial capabilities, both offensively and defensively? Not a
single fighter jet, not a
single missile, not even a helicopter, just...
Nothing? They blasted at us with a tank and then for
three straight hours we
wailed on them with drone strikes and B-52 bombers and they sent
nothing back in retaliation?
We're already hearing reports of the Russian ships
fleeing the Tartus port in Syria and heading out into the Mediterranean, members of the Syrian military are
evacuating military bases (You'll need to translate it) and that Assad and most of his cabinet and family are already fleeing the country. Add to that the reconnaissance by protests we've witnessed in Iran, the major weapon deals that went down almost
immediately with our coalition allies, and that we're already putting Carrier Strike Group 8 into position, and you really have to start wondering if this fight was over before it even began.
