These armed\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">terrorist convoys, easy targets for Russian Aerospace forces, move with total freedom, as though\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">shielded from harm.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Why don\u2019t Russian warplanes destroy them? Is Russia afraid of the feelings of Netanyahu (Jub<\/span><span class=\"s1\">ir) (al\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Hamad) and those \u201ccousins\u201d who haunt the corridors of power in the Russian Foreign Ministry in\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Moscow?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Russia must learn a sad lesson from America, a nation that knows that part of being a superpower is\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">supporting friends and allies without judgme<\/span><span class=\"s1\">nt and demands. America stands by their \u201cfriends,\u201d Israel,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Turkey, Saudi Arabia, asking no questions, making no demands, succumbing to no pressure, these are\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">the actions of a superpower in this day and age.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Why are there so many clearly wrong decisions, such as supporting the Syrian High Negotiation\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Committee\u2019s demands in Darya? We all know this is an entirely military cantonment, a breeding ground\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">for a terrorist army on Damascus\u2019 flank, a city without any civilian population whatsoever.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">My dear friends an<\/span><span class=\"s1\">d brothers of Russia, please do not take the example of some within Syria\u2019s corrupt\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">system, those officers and officials that are but thieves, the children of prostitutes, or you will become\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">like them and the war in Syria will be lost, as with Afghanistan and Yugoslavia.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Russia will then never be able to find an ally outside her borders. It was the Empress Catherine the\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Great, in 1768, who warned \u201cthe Keys to the Kremlin are found in Damascus and Russia, if it remains a\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">power of the frozen north, will wi<\/span><span class=\"s1\">ther and die.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">If Moscow is to heed the warning of Catherine, the Sukhoi storm that had swept through the terrorists&#8217;\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">ranks like a scythe would be unleashed again lest the Syrian War, lost to sloth, plotting and inaction,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">might find itself at the gates of M<\/span><span class=\"s1\">oscow, a gift from the Wahhabis.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">The spirit that made Russia victorious after the Second World War, the spirit that help the great Russian\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">people arise to victory will come to naught if the current policy of consulting the Zionists who brought\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">down the great homeland in 1991 continues. \u00a0Russia will be erased from the South, forgotten in Libya,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Iraq, Egypt, forgotten in Yugoslavia with Montenegro joining NATO, surrounded, plagued, isolated and\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u201csanctioned.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">When Russia came to Syria with an air force that shook the world, when Russia plunged into battle,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">proving not only weapons but courage and resolve as well, the Arab kingdoms shuddered.
