Russia Is Building A Third Military Base In Syria


Sami Moubayed, Asia Times: Russia quietly begins building third military base in Syria

Moscow plans to oversee new 'deconfliction zone' in country's south, charged among other things with clearing ISIS away from Jordanian border.

Over the past few days, the Russian army has quietly started construction of a new military base in the countryside near Damascus, from scratch, tasked with manning and administering a “deconfliction zone” in the Syrian south, similar to four others agreed upon earlier in the year by Moscow, Ankara and Tehran.

The first zones applied to Homs, Idlib, and the suburbs of Damascus, while the new one will encompass territory extending from Daraa, 13 kilometers north of the Syrian-Jordanian border, to the border itself, including the strategic city of Quneitra on the Golan Heights and al-Suwayda, a mainly Druze city.

What strange bedfellows are joined by giving away Syrias bed space and kicking them out of it.
Syria proper will lose thousands of square kilometers to US and its Eurocentric allies and in all likelihood end. Up granting Israel all of their previously stolen Golan Heights and push those borders 50 kilometers further into Syria proper. ...Oh yes lets do, Having UN "military peace keepig forces manage those bstolen borderlands.
UN who kisses US butt bigtime and nevermentions US crimes agai st humanity by legalizing it through rules change, and never once has been able to charge Israel with its genocide of Palesti ians and bombing the hell out oc Syria when ever their pilots need triggertime training.
LOTS of two faced actions by Russia and the real big boys on the ME. Block.
Syria isflopping and gasping to survive while world stands idle watching its car ass get pickedapart by mercenary Buzzars and shit birds from over the 130 nations US has military establishments upon.
Wonder why no anti US resolutions come up against it, 130 nations leaders do not want their wallets to be empty.
