German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall announced it will protect it's newly built Tank factory in Ukraine with it's own, self-procured Skynex Air-Defence System, after Russian threats to strike the facility.

     Eyes on Syria for the coming days/weeks? The ramifications of the Iran/Saudi rapprochement and Syria being welcomed back in to the Arab League are playing out now on the changing global chess board. US/Empire position in these hotspots seems to be becoming increasingly isolated and unsustainable.

 https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1682838030791450630

"Russia increases pressure on the US in Syria.

The “drama” with the Russian general Popov seems to slowly make sense. Popov was sent Syria to confront the US. Previously he was commanding the Russian units that repelled the counteroffensive and produced the famous “Leopard and Bradley” pile.

So they’re basically sending their best man to Syria. While there are constant News popping up of some kind if encounters between Russian and US aircraft.

Now it is clear, that the Russian retaliation towards the US is carried out in Syria.

The steps:
1) Russia has put a big effort to reestablishing Syria and Assad internationally.
2) Syria/Assad joined the Arab league
3) The Arab state are uniting now behind Assad
4) Iran has for a long time supported rebels that oppose the US in Syria and recently there were attacks on US personnel in Syria.
5) For the first time Russia stopped avoiding a direct confrontation with the US in Syria.

-> Russia with its allies in the region seem to increase the military pressure on the small occupying force of the US.

1/ - next on Turkey

In this equation you must not forget Turkey. Turkey’s enemies the Kurds are the only serious US allies in Syria and Erdogan wants to get rid of them.

1) The Kurds have foreseen this development and seek talks with Assad:

“We affirm our readiness to meet and talk with the Syrian government and with all Syrian parties to hold discussions and present initiatives for a solution,” the Kurdish authorities said.

Now it is even possible that the Kurds switch sides and unite with Assad, under some kind of autonom region within Syria.

2) Turkey was fighting Assad and the Kurds. Now Erdogan announced that he wants to talk to Assad. This is also thanks to the increasing pressure, since essentially the whole Arab world has united behind Assad now. So the smart thing for Erdogan is to follow.

So this all chaos is slowly shifting to a big peace realignment. Except the US is there, occupying the Syrian oil fields.

And this now seems to be the moment where the Arab world finally starts to support the push against the US in Syria.

It is unclear how it will manifest. But the political and military pressure on the US to leave is growing.

Meanwhile america has recently sent additional 2.500 troops up the region.

We all know the neocons will not just accept a defeat.

     The missile strikes on weapons facilities and the Odessa port are not letting up either. Misfiring S300's as usual plummeting back to earth and "intercepting" buildings. NATO's lack of industrial capacity and stocks of ammunition make them ill equipped or able to handle the ever expanding fronts of this world altering confrontation.
     Enemies appear to sense the weakness and slowly escalate.
     

 "Ukrainian channel Legitimny writes:

Literally everything is flying towards Odessa. Arrivals continue. Already more than a dozen in different parts of the city and suburbs. Now the launch of “Calibres”. Another long night awaits the region.
Odessa is being hit for two reasons:
1. Due to the cancellation of the grain deal;
2. Because of the launches of drones/ missiles from Odessa towards Crimea.
"

     More are already on their way. But surely Russia must be running out of missiles soon? Western pundits and media have been promising this months ago  ???

Didn't you previously post that Russian dead were burned by mobile cremation units?

That was during the beginning. That equipment is probably long gone.

The families of those forced to sign up want their sons back.
