The Russian/Syrian connection thread

[alex330]

Russia has some of the best intelligence in the world and they give intelligence to Syria and Wagner. Someday the young Syrian and Russian men who survived that battle will understand their leaders knew the situation and sent them into a fight with America's elite soldiers and into an area where America had control of the skies. They will someday understand they were used as guinea pigs.

Think they already know. On one of the released calls a "merc" says they were setup and "betrayed".

Russia is not enjoying their vacation in Deir Ez-Zor.

Over 200 mercs annihilated in an attempt to take a refinery from US special forces. Then another 15 killed guarding a weapons depot in a "unusual explosion" two days later (same area).

And now another nine killed in an attack.

You base this 'theory '  on ?

You should know the answer -- Donald Trump !

[DaveNY]

Anna Chapman of course. msmob tell me you wouldn't tell her whatever she wants to know? 

[msmob]

Certainly,

Anna's not that shape any more


Plus SC gets told all my secrets

You upset Russia can sneak WMDs into UK and use them on people UK is trying to hide? Wake up and look around what's going on in the world. Russia hacked into the Pentagon, White House, among many other less important things and extract information. They are very good at getting information in a variety of ways and they haven't outlawed torture.

WHY do you need to keep proving how daft you are?

1/ Did Sergei Skripal change his name ? Did he 'retire' - or was he 'active' and annoying to the Kremlin?  It's not like he was hiding ..

2/  Getting a binary nerve agent into the country isn't that difficult - until the two compounds are mixed - it ain't a nerve agent

3/  Ukraine also has a reputation for 'hackers' and you assume the best ones work for govts ?  The pay is crap and most aren't 'patriots' ..  Example ... Telegram is banned in Russia - there were active moves to block it .. yet I received a call on it from a Russian - who didn't KNOW it was banned

10 Russian spies were traded for Sergei. His brother died two years ago. In unknown circumstances his son died last year on a trip to St. Petersburg. He's still in the game but you think he has no reason to hide from Russia and I'm daft.

So you're saying it's easy to import ingredients to make chemical weapons into your country and I'm daft.

Intelligence agencies proved it was Russian hackers that hacked everything American, not Ukrainian. They could not prove I'm daft.

You are daft for thinking he was hard to find ...    He was 'annoying' folks back in Russia - to the extent the main news told it's viewers that " traitors will not grow old" ..

So you're saying it's easy to import ingredients to make chemical weapons into your country and I'm daft.

Yup .. it is ..  the UK doesn't check every item that comes in and the two binary agents - on their own would not attract attention in small quantities and separately 

Intelligence agencies proved it was Russian hackers that hacked everything American, not Ukrainian. They could not prove I'm daft.

Now, you aren't paying attention, again ...  !  

You said - that Russia had ( among) the best intelligence in the world ...  and I simply pointed out that the best hackers do not work for govt ...

I've always admired Seymour Hersh.  He's pretty much blacklisted in the US now, but still writes for the London Review of Books.  However, I recently came across an article he wrote on the US bombing of Syria in de Welt.  It is an interesting perspective, which is an alignment with what the Russians have stated all along -
