When the USA takes out Russian made surface to air defenses in an overnight raid (like in Libya) it's very embarrassing for Russia. The treat of that embarrassment needs to be on the table.

It was taught at a special school. The soviets brought it back <br />During WW2 where there are a legion examples to choose from.<br /><br />It was much more than the camouflage school training. It was, and is, a technique not just of concealing intent. But focusing attention elsewhere and sowing fear and mistrust.<br />If you think of the allies fake allied army of Patton and the entire massive Normandy invasion efforts to make the Germans think Calais was the landing zone. It’s that sort of thing. And the soviets/Russians were and are very very good at it.<br />The word is common among any 20th century historian. And common throughout the Cold War. <br />The Russian is used because it conveys more than just hiding purpose. It also includes mistrust of allies and doubts about releasable information.<br /><br />Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-35257556353084292102018-04-11T21:42:51.857+01:002018-04-11T21:42:51.857+01:00It is particularly odd that every time any US pres...It is particularly odd that every time any US president suggests getting US forces out of some Middle Eastern hellhole, something terrible happens that means they just absolutely HAVE to stay there, and get more involved to boot.<br /><br />Personally I'd say the entity with most to gain from this chemical attack is the US military industrial complex - US military spending is pushing towards $1tn (yes trillion with a t), the last thing they want is a President taking away all their toys.

The Americans had no interest in Libya....dearieme.<br /><br />The Americans had no interest in Libya. They wanted to stay right out of it. And they did. Except that UK and French aircraft were on extreme range to southern Libyan targets and needed us military help.So the US bombed something like 100 targets for us. But they were not involved in a ground war or a toppling. <br />It was UK and France. <br /><br />As for 'who gains?' Its almost the wrong question.<br />Who gained when the US dropped a missile onto a UK APC in the Gulf war and killed our troops? No one gained. Yet it still happened. <br />Who gained when the UK, during the Falklands war, were 15 seconds away from shooting down a civilian airliner flying over the taskforce? No one. Yet it almost happened. And did happen in Korea and in Ukraine. And the Americans shot an Iranian airliner down and killed everyone. Who gains? <br />Its the wrong question. not who gains, but how did this happen.<br /><br />Soviet Chemical artillery shells and bombs usually have green stripes. USA are dark green canisters.But in the 1980s were dark green stripes with white letters. White phosphorus smoke shells from the same time are light green casing, yellow writing.<br />Its not hard to imagine some conscript using a chems shell instead of a smoke one.<br />And in the Syrian army the stuff they will be using now will be Russian. Not export, as they aren't paying. Just Russian. Meaning the lettering and safety clues won't be in Arabic. It will be in Russian.<br />Its not hard to see how it could happen.<br /><br />But, as the article makes very clear. And was standard SOVIET era policy for 70 years. Say nothing at all. Maintain complete silence until instructions received. Deny everything. Admit nothing. Blame someone else.<br /><br />A US reporter in the USSR once asked the Mayor of Murmansk, the major port of the soviet northern battle fleet, why so many Russian sailors were drunk in the town. And doing so much fighting.<br />The Mayor refused to answer. The following day an answer was given to the reporter by the propaganda service. <br />"There are no sailors in Murmansk."<br /><br /><br />Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-30479298838531956582018-04-11T18:19:41.457+01:002018-04-11T18:19:41.457+01:00Nonsense on stilts and sorry to read it here.

Isn't it odd that Assad only uses chemical weapons when he's winning, not when he's losing?<br /><br />As for interfering in elections, may I refer you to the cover of Time magazine for 15/07/1996.<br /><br />https://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19960715,00.html<br /><br />(I was going to write a long and detailed rebuttal of this murderous idiocy, but I'm too disgusted so I'll stop here).

Seen by whom as a good thing? Seen by me as yet another wearying example of American head-up-the-arse foreign policy.<br /><br />"it seems beyond reasonable doubt that Assad has been using chemical weapons for sometime": I disagree. First on general principle: it's wise to assume that nothing we are told about the Middle East is truthful, whether it's told by Putin or The Washington Post. Secondly, on the grounds of who gains: the latest alleged Assad attack would seem to me to have been a mad thing for him to have done - not remotely in his interest. So I simply assume it's just another sad case of those naughty Poles attacking a German radio station. Remember the Maine!deariemenoreply@blogger.com
