Wings In The SkISIS

Yesterday, the Imperialist States of Amerikastan finally gave up the pretence of fighting ISIS.

Not that this was much of a pretence. After all, in 2015, ISIS drove unmolested over empty desert from the Syria-Iraq border to take the city of Palmyra, without the Amerikastani air force – supposedly bombing ISIS for a year by then – anywhere to be seen. And Amerikastan’s desperate attempts to succour the blood soaked mass murdering monster Barack Hussein Obama’s  pet cannibals in Aleppo have been all over the news for a while.

But all this time, the Imperialist States of Amerikastan still maintained the fiction that it was, somehow, fighting ISIS. It was arming and training jihadi cannibals who promptly defected to ISIS, it was falling over itself looking the other way while jihadis streamed to ISIStan, but it, unlike the Turks or the Zionazi pseudostate, hadn’t actively launched air strikes in support of ISIS and al Qaeda. That changed yesterday.

Deir Azzor is one of the very few places in Eastern Syria still holding out against ISIS. It’s been holding out for over four years now, and the commander of the forces there, Syrian Army general Issam Zahreddine – who’s a Druze, by the way, not an Arab or even a Muslim – is quite a hero to those of us who are aware of the situation.

In this photo below, Issam Zahreddine is the bearded man on the right. The one on the left is Syrian Air Force colonel Ali Hamza Asaad. The name Asaad is Sunni, not the Alawite Assad, by the way; tell me again how the “regime” of President Bashar Assad is a "sectarian Alawite dictatorship”:

For four years, ISIS has been battering at the gates of Deir Azzor, unable to take the town, mostly because of air strikes carried out by the Syrian Air Force from the airfield, which in turn is protected by Syrian Army artillery and armour units. Retaining Deir Azzor, basically, meant retaining Eastern Syria for the Syrian government. For ISIS, this was an intolerable situation, and obviously it was for the mass murdering mulatto monster in Washington as well.

Yesterday, while a truce was allegedly in effect in Syria, Amerikastani aeroplanes launched a series of air strikes against Syrian Army positions at Deir Azzor, killing, at the time of writing, 90 Syrian soldiers and wounding over a hundred. As of today, Australia admitted that its aircraft, too, had taken part in this attack, which apparently came as a surprise to Australian citizens who hadn’t been aware that their government had been engaged in another imperialist war on behalf of their current colonial overlord.

The attack followed the usual pattern of Amerikastani strikes – first on the target, and then on rescuers trying to help the victims of the first strikes. This is a technique originated by the Brutish in WWII, when bombing raids on German cities were timed so the second wave would arrive just as the firemen, ambulance crew, and air raid wardens were busy rescuing the victims of the first wave. It’s also the tactic used by the blood soaked war criminal Barack Hussein Obama’s drones, where rescuers trying to help the victims of his killer robots are targeted by another "double tap" strike.

According to the Amerikastani Central Command (CENTCOM),

...the Syrian troops were all “out in the open” at the base, and they also destroyed six military APCs and one tank. They reported they were “watching” the Syrian Army base for days before the attacks, figuring everyone there was ISIS.^[Source]

This is certainly possible. It is absolutely possible that Amerikastani spy satellites and spy planes, which allegedly can photograph individual soldiers, somehow missed the very easily recognisable Syrian Army uniforms, not to speak of the Syrian flag, flying over the base.

No, wait! I get it now. It was all Putin’s fault! He used his vanishing ray, which he used to conceal all those hundreds of invisible Russian invasions of Ukraine, to make the Syrian flags and uniforms disappear! Whew! All’s right with the world again!

Just as though it knew the air strike was about to happen, exactly seven minutes after the bombing was over, ISIS followed up with a ground attack, which successfully captured the strategic Al Thadah mountain, bringing it much closer to the airport. Read that again: ISIS attacked seven minutes after the air raid was over. Either ISIS can plan, organise, and launch an offensive in seven minutes, in which case we might as well all sign the unconditional surrender right now, or...

...or, ISIS knew the air raid was coming. Either Allah told them about it, or...

...or they were tipped off by the people who conducted the attack.

Can anyone think of another explanation?

If ISIS can interdict the airport, stopping planes from taking off, there’s no chance of Syria's retaining Deir Azzor. And as for interdicting that airport, remember Colonel Asaad in the photo above? He was killed today when his Sukhoi 22 fighter was shot down by ISIS, probably using one of the surface to air missiles the war criminal Killary Klingon smuggled to the jihadis from Libya via Turkey. I shall be charitable and not assume it was a missile directly supplied by the blood soaked war criminal Barack Hussein Obama to his pet moderate cannibal headhunters in recent days. [Fortunately, the Syrian Army counterattacked and took back the mountain.]

Please tell me again how this was supposed to be a “mistaken” strike on the part of the Imperialist States of Amerikastan, and how ISIS is an enemy of America rather than a tool and ally.

Not surprisingly, Russia reacted less than happily, finally openly stating that Amerikastan is aiding ISIS, and convened a Security Council meeting on the attack. Equally not surprisingly, the Amerikastani UN “ambassador”, Samantha Powell, condemned...Russia. It has “blood on its hands,” she said.

Not enough blood, I’d say, or Amerikastan wouldn’t have any jihadis left to patronise.

Russia has resumed bombing the mendacious messiah of massacre and mayhem Barack Hussein Obama’s pet cannibals in Aleppo, finally abandoning the farcical “ceasefire”, which, of course, will bring outraged howls of hate from the usual sources. Not that it matters, since the die is cast.

By the way, if Amerikastan thinks ISIS will be grateful to it for this air strike, it has a shock coming. ISIS is grateful to nothing and nobody bar itself.

I have a strong suspicion that one of the reasons for this strike was to provoke a confrontation between the mass murdering monster’s military minions and Russia, simply to influence the course of the Amerikastani elections. As we all know, the Anointed of Wall Street, Killary Klingon, isn’t doing so well in the opinion polls. Far from being a smooth path to the White House, she might, and this is a horrible thought, actually fall by the wayside. The War Criminal is flailing about in desperation, and since her tame media has already painted Trump as a “Russian agent”, a war scare would really come in handy to win the White House.

Of course, it might also trigger a world war, but what does Killary the Killer care about that?

I would have drawn a cartoon on this subject, but my desktop is in for repair. So I settled for creating a meme instead:

Serious question: How can people who opposed George W Bush's war crimes but embrace those of Barack Hussein Obama live with themselves?
