I won't echo here the sentiments of others of Putins supposed love affair with Israel nor his supposed naivety towards turkeys Erdogan over the years. Back then as I do today have always viewed Russian foreign policy on East Asia was to combat terrorism from spreading to Russian borders. Putin has stated numerous times his priorities are first and foremost the interest of Russia and the Russian people. Everyone wants Russia to be the world's policemen but as Syria now shows that is not the case.
I could go on and on regarding my views on this but alas I'm not a writer or pod caster claiming to be an expert but a mere observer.
Some interesting facts were revealed by Putin today that touch on the Syrian situation. The main enemy is the Outlaw US Empire, and Syria isn't the place to fight it.
THE reason for Russian intervention in West Asia was indeed to combat terrorism from spreading to Russian border. It failed. The above mentioned sentiments were correct.
Russia's intervention in Syria to destroy ISIS was 100% successful--there was no migration of it to Russian borders from Syria. But there are many other points of distribution along the Arc of Instability where the Outlaw US Empire's Terrorist Foreign Legion operate from--the attack on Crocus Hall demonstrated that.
Russian failure as you put it was Putins miscalculation of the emerging Donald Trump foreshadowing the resent change in the regional geopolitical calculus. Imo.
Vanessa Beeley was living in Damascus and narrowly escaped during Saturday night. She gives a very interesting account of her experiences and local knowledge here:
Mercury went direct today. Ideally, greater clarity in thinking et al.
My fourth granddaughter, (Isabellah-"devoted to God") was born this morning-8:02 AM.
When I went to pick up my carryout Falafel this afternoon, Mo was prostrated on his prayer rug,
behind the counter. Recorded prayer sounded. I stood, and respectfully waited, head bowed and hands clasped. Putting his prayer rug aside, he greeted me with such a calm and generous smile. I
responded with, "peace brother". We shook hands and wished each other well and I was on my way.
I simultaneously felt joy and great sadness knowing what our beautiful planet has devolved to...
It's now clear that Assad made his bed and slept in it and must now live with himself and his choices. IMO, the essence of Syria will survive as it always has over the centuries. I watched Nima chat with Graham Fuller who mentioned the one actor not being talked about--Iraq--and Erdogan's unknown intentions perhaps being the most important. I agree with Fuller that this new Syria chapter has just opened and will take some time to close, and much can happen along the way that cannot be currently predicted.
I've recently been following Iraq more closely if anything Iraq is fortifying its border defense at least in part due to the unpredictability happening. I wouldn't chartatcized
I see you're at the explanatory core of Oreshnik. Martyanov posted the following excerpt from Orlov's pay blog:
Around a century ago it was noticed that when a fast-flying lead bullet or shell hits steel armor, it releases an amount of heat many times greater than the kinetic energy of the projectile (which is half the mass times its velocity squared, E_k=1/2 mv^2) — enough heat to burn a hole right through a steel plate. The reason for this anomaly is the same: electron inertia.
The binding energy in the crystal lattice of metals is approximately twice as large as that released during the explosive oxidation of TNT. At first glance, the explosion should not be much larger than that produced by a conventional explosive — about twice as large. The difference is that the time it takes to release this energy is hundreds of times shorter than during the chemical oxidation reaction in TNT and the energy from it is much more concentrated. Because of this, the destructive power of a Coulomb explosion can be 1000 times greater than that of a conventional explosive. Of course, this is not a nuclear explosion: no atomic nuclei are in any way damaged during this experiment. But it is comparable in its effects, which are much greater than what can be achieved using TNT.
For a bit of perspective, consider that 1 kg of uranium-235 can in theory (if every single atom of it undergoes nuclear fission) result in an explosion equivalent to 20 million kg of TNT. In reality, uranium is never enriched to 100% U-235 (anything above 90% is considered weapons-grade) and only a few percent of the U-235 have time to participate in a nuclear chain reaction before the whole contraption blows up. More realistically, a 1 kg nuclear charge is equivalent to about a million kg of TNT (or 1 kiloton). Meanwhile, 1 kg of metal in a Coulomb explosion will release energy equivalent to about a thousand kg of TNT (or 1 tonne). Nevertheless, these are still huge numbers.
And now we can address the question of what Oreshnik most likely is. Here is what has been publicly announced about it:
Warhead temperature: 4000ºC
Speed: Mach 10 (2.5–3 km/s)
Mass of warhead: ~1.5 tonnes
Perusing Dmitry Mendeleev's Periodic Table of Elements we find just one candidate for warhead metal: tungsten. It melts at 3422ºC and boils at 5555ºC. Taking the mass of the warhead (which, we assume for the sake of simplicity, consists entirely of a single shaped piece of tungsten) at 1,500 kg, it produces the equivalent of 1,500,000 kg of TNT or 1,5 kilotons — a respectable amount for a small tactical nuke.
Both Israel's 100 year brutal invasion, genocide & occupation of Palestine & Greater-Israel are financed, armed, soldiers-paid, trained & supplied by the international Zionist Oligarchy. Over 65% of Israel's GDP is based in corporate trading-transfer of arms to conflict zones everywhere. i.e. Israel's economy is based in Oligarch worldwide control & parasitism, not in its biosphere alignment & productivity. Palestine & Syria are now destroyed because of their Geographic Location at the trade, people & resource juncture of the Mega-Continents of Eurasia & Africa. According to the UN's Out-of-Africa Genetic studies most of the Mega-continent population have ancestral roots who have lived in or passed through Palestine, probably least of all the European Ashkenazi (some of my family in 3 branches) who started violently invading over 100 years ago.
The USA with over 500 Senators & Representatives, clapping like trained-seals to approve Netanyahu's Israeli genocide of Palestinians, shows the US gov't to be completely Zionist $$ captured, actually since way before USA's fake revolution in 1776 as part of its inherent half-baked fake-Constitution & genocidal design. How HTS Abu Mohammad al-Julani, Erdogan & other al-Qaeda soldiers & leaders ever thought they will be anything besides disposable Cannon-fodder & poor Economic-Slaves to Zionist Oligarch owned, now Greater-Israel is incredibly ignorant-stupid beyond all measure except colonized indoctrinated 5-Eye Canadians, Americans, British, Australians & western Europeans.
For 10s of 1000s of years before the last 7000 years of 'exogenous' (Latin 'other-generated') colonial Zionist suzerainty since Babylon-Mesopotamia (5000 BC, PHOENICIA (Kingdom of Israel + City-states of Tyr, Sidon, Byblos & Beirut Syria 4000 - 0 BC) EMPIRE, 'indigenous' (L 'self-generating') humanity is always called to COUNCIL PROCESS & other aspects of the GREAT-GOOD-WAY-OF-KINDNESS found in the interdisciplinary indigenous CIRCLE-OF-LIFE. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/a-home/3-indigenous-circle-of-life
FAIR & FULLFILLING PSYCHOLOGICAL-WARFARE FOR ALL PARTIES
CALLING-OUT & CHALLENGING VIOLENT INTELLECTUAL "COWARDS" TO WIN BACK SYRIA, WEST ASIA & WORLD, WITH DIALOGUE WITHOUT MURDER. Putting our & their REPUTATION on the line-of Public Scrutiny. Bashar al-Assad is right about the gross level of western Propaganda & monologue Brainwashing, but should not recoil from it. Council Process in Both-sided, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogues enlarged as a Dialectic Right & Obligation for the whole population in every sphere (home, work, education, commerce, government, media etc) is an opportunity, through which even from Russia, engaging with Syrians, factions, government members etc, that the VISION which he talks about can be re-established as an irresistible economic force for lovingly re-capturing & re-building Syria.
CALLING-OUT "INTELLECTUAL-COWARDS" TO STIMULATE ENGAGEMENT
Frightened people afraid of their own shadow, so as to be less afraid of killing another than of facing truth & reputation in formal Both-sided, Equal-time, Recorded & Published dialogue. Violence breeds ignorance, so are "Cowards". Mohandas Gandhi stated, "Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Non-violence & cowardice go ill together. I can imagine a fully armed man to be at heart a COWARD." Gandhi is speaking here to the intelligent mind of the soldier as an active contributor to his or her community, society & ultimately to the international conversation of war & peace. India's 'Swadeshi' (Hindi 'Indigenous' aka 'Self-sufficiency') movement during 1917 to 1947 brought India's diverse peoples, economies, politics, religions etc. together in 'Satyagraha' (Hindi 'Truth-search'). The more people worldwide, who engage in formal Dialogue with each other at home, family, extended-family, Multihome-Dwelling-Complexes (eg. Apartment, Townhouse & Village), Neighbourhood, Business, Commerce, Religion, Education (Socrates), Institutions, media, government etc, the more our human expectation becomes that; Dialogue is the social norm expected from every person. Formal Dialogues are key to elaborating our goals & plans together for positive creation as well as Conflict Resolution. The more we exemplify our individual, collective economic strength & creative unity, the more we attract whole 'community' (Latin 'com' = 'together' + 'munus' = 'gift-or-service') collaboration in RELATIONAL-ECONOMY with action matching our words. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy
Missing from all Oligarch violence-commanded western 'exogenous' (Latin 'other-generated') regimes is formal 'DEBATE' (French 'de' = 'undo' + 'bate' = 'the-fight') or BOTH-SIDES-NOW, EQUAL-TIME, RECORDED & PUBLISHED DIALOGUES happening at every level from the family, extended-family, Multihome-Dwelling-Complex (eg. Apartment, Townhouse & Village), neighbourhood, city, region, national & continental governments. Get people at every level engaging 'dialectically' with their fellows on every issue. Formal dialogue is the ancient worldwide 'indigenous' (L. 'self-generating') COUNCIL-PROCESS practice in every nation on every continent. India with Mohandas Gandhi in implementing 'Swadeshi' (Hindi 'indigenous' aka 'self-sufficiency') engaged India's diverse religions, economies, political-parties, languages etc in 'Satyagraha' (H. 'Truth-search') following these same indigenous Both-sided formal practices. The formal Debate 'Field-of-Engagement' creates a situation where readers, listeners & viewers of the debate have heard both sides & can therefore feel confident, to make up their own minds in contrasting & comparing the facts, events, logics, consequences, repercussions & feelings as presented reciprocally by both-sides. Whole populations can use their more diverse & widespread resources to support all sides in resolution. Typically, a 90 minute session in person or digitally on-line, gives the 2 presenters time to make their cases before the court-of-public-assessment. Recording makes presenters responsible in presentation & reputation, not only to each other but to their own interest groups & the broader public. All behind-closed-doors so-called Diplomacy should be paired with open public transparent recorded dialogue. Such as the Christian Druze, Hezbollah & all of Lebanon's diverse people can be brought together to explore their perspectives, livelihoods, present strengths, needs & futures as before the Zionist violent invasion of Palestine & the Levant, starting 100 years ago. All humanity's worldwide indigenous ancestors, before the colonial age starting 7000 years ago in Babylon cultivated local & international COUNCIL PROCESS as an individual & group right in families, Multihomes, economic relations etc. for creating understanding, Constructive Agreements, elaborating Contracts & Conflict Resolution. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues

A rather curious op/ed. It’s correct about the Zionists being criminals at the head of a criminal state that requires discipline. But there’s no proper unity in the Arab world to defend themselves from the criminals—Zionists and Americans.
