NAVO, VN wil nie aan Amerikaanse Aleppo-aas byt nie

Written by

Amerika probeer Rusland blameer vir die aanval op ’n konvooi wat hulp aan die meer as 78 000 vasgekeerde mense in die Siriese stad Aleppo moes bring.

Maar NAVO se sekretaris-generaal Jens Stoltenberg het geweier om te spekuleer oor wie verantwoordelikheid moet aanvaar vir die aanval op die hulpkonvooi naby Aleppo, en gesê partye moet eers “die feite regkry”.

Nagenoeg 20 mense is in die aanval op die konvooi dood.

Rusland ontken ten sterkste dat die lug­aanval op die konvooi deur die land se magte en selfs Siriese regeringsmagte uitgevoer is.

Volgens verklarings deur Moskou was die aanval in die nag en die Siriese lugmag beskik nie oor die vermoë om nagvlugte uit te voer nie. Rusland gee militante die skuld vir die aanval.

Hooggeplaaste Amerikaanse weermagwoordvoerders hou egter vol dat hulle oor voldoende bewyse beskik dat Russiese vegvliegtuie die aanval uitgevoer het.

Rusland het intussen hommeltuig-video­materiaal vrygestel wat volgens hulle bewys dat die konvooi gevolg is deur ’n voertuig wat ’n mortierlanseerder op ’n sleepwa gesleep het.

Die Russiese regering het gesê slegs militante het geweet presies waar die konvooi was, alhoewel die VN alle partye in kennis gestel het van die konvooi.

Die Russiese ambassadeur by die VN, Witali Tjoerkin, het gesê sulke haastig beskuldigings, ontdaan van enige feite, is ontwerp, onder andere, om aandag af te lei van ‘n vreemde fout “gemaak deur vlieëniers van die Amerikaanse anti-ISIS koalisie op 17 September toe Siriese regeringsposisies naby Deir ez-Zor gebombardeer is”.

Amerika se veelvuldige verskonings en verduidelikings wat die land probeer verontskuldig, het reeds gespanne betrekkinge met Rusland verder versleg.

Rusland vermoed die VSA probeer ISIS in Sirië beskerm en sê die VSA moet onverwyld ‘n onderskeid tref tussen Siriese “opposisie” en ISIS-militante.

Die Russiese ministerie van verdediging sê ‘n Amerikaanse hommeltuig was ook in die omgewing van die humanitêre konvooi toe dit buite Aleppo aangeval is.

Hulle sê die Predator het van die Incirlik-lugbasis in Turkye opgestyg tot op ‘n hoogte van 3600 meter en teen ongeveer 200 kilometer per uur en die konvooi gevolg.

Die Verenigde Nasies (VN) het ná ‘n dodelike aanval op ‘n konvooi alle hulpverlening in Sirië opgeskort.

Die Amerikaanse minister van buitelandse sake, John Kerry, het intussen aan die VN se Veiligheidsraad in New York gesê alle vliegtuie in die noorde van Sirië behoort verbied te word om te vlieg sodat humanitêre hulp afgelaai kan word.

Kerry het by die raad gesê so ‘n stap kan die geloofwaardigheid herstel van pogings om ‘n einde aan die konflik in Sirië te maak.

    Why would the Syrian Air Force attack the Syrian Red Crescent with which it has good relations and which also works in all government held areas? Why would the Syrian or Russian forces attack a convoy which earlier had passed through government held areas and checkpoints and was thereby not carrying contraband? I find no plausible reason or motive for such an attack. Nor has anyone else come forward with such.

    A few days ago the “rebels” had accused the UN, which had goods on the convoy, of partisanship and said they would boycott it. “Rebels” in east Aleppo had demonstrated against UN provided help and said they would reject it. There was a general rejection of the ceasefire by the “rebels” and they were eager to push for a wider and bigger war against Syria and its allies. Al-Qaeda in Syria even made a video against the ceasefire. A part of the ceasefire deal is to commonly fight al-Qaeda. They naturally want the deal to end. The attack on the aid convoy seems to help their case.

      A signature Hellfire strike. Now we hear from Russia that a Predator drone (typically Hellfire-armed) was loitering around the ‘bombed convoy’ area immediately before and after the attack. An attack that produced no crater (typical of the air-blast of a thermobaric Hellfire) and numerous fires (also more likely from a thermobaric Hellfire). The curiously-edited video on most MSM is intended to obscure the signature blast of a thermobaric Hellfire.

        That’s why the German government is stepping out of line with the US, and is refusing either to call the attack on the convoy a “bombardment” or to say that the Russians were responsible.

          John Kerry, US Secretary of State has now publicly said in the UN Security Council that Jabhat Al-Nusra – an entity which the US says is a terrorist organisation and which is the regional branch of Al-Qaeda in Syria – the organisation which carried out the 9/11 terrorist attacks – should not be bombed. One wonders what the survivors of 9/11 – and the families of the victims – would think of that.

    If true, this action could be seen as a revenge for the bombing in Deir ez-Zor, where probably also some russian special forces have been eliminated. In this case the Kremlin preferred not to make public the loss of these men, opting instead for a strike into the operation room. Actually, they could have been involved in the planning phase of the jihadist operations, which is very likely as the headchoppers lack any significant capability in producing high level commanders. https://southfront.org/30-foreign-intelligence-officers-israeli-us-turkish-killed-in-missile-attack-in-aleppo-unconfirmed/

      ‘Actually, they could have been involved in the planning phase of the jihadist operations’ Do you mean the US or the Russians?
