Russia not protecting Syria, but preventing attack on Iran – Zhirinovsky

In regards to Syria being only a step necessary to take in order to get to Iran, he is 100% correct. It was even mentioned a long time ago by then-General Wesley Clark, that seven countries in five years would be necessary to be toppled in order to keep the world’s next superpower from rising and de-throning the United States’ from its global leadership position. Iran is just the main prize in a larger game between the Soviets and the United States, whereas nearly the entire Middle East serves as a basket of proxy countries for both powers. The wars are absolutely coming as it’s now purely a matter of when and not if.

From the Russian propaganda outlet, Russia Today:

The outspoken leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) has said that the crisis in Syria is just the next phase in the run up to an attack on Iran.

Zhirinovsky, accompanying State Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin on a visit to France, commented that Syria itself is“not really a point of interest for outside forces.”

Israel preparing to attack Iran: Report

LONDON: Israel is preparing for a ground attack on Iran before Christmas, after conducting commando dry runs in the Iraq desert, a media report said.

…

Israeli leaders have reportedly made it clear they are ready to launch military action alone – if the US does not help.

Late October or early November have been identified by intelligence analysts as a likely time because of the US elections on Nov 6.

“We know the Israelis have been active in the Iraq desert, it would appear preparing forward bases for a ground assault. Bombing Iranian nuclear installations will most likely be a part of their plan, but the only way to confirm they have destroyed what they need to is to put boots on the ground,” an unnamed British official was quoted as saying.

…

An “anonymous senior Israeli politician” — believed to be defence minister Ehud Barak — made it clear to The Sun that Israel had already decided to act alone.

“We can’t wait to find out one morning that we relied on the Americans but were fooled because the Americans didn’t act. Israel is strong and Israel is responsible, and will do what it has to do,” the minister said.

10 Ways Attacking Iran Could Destroy The United States

The website itself is a crock, but the list is really worth considering. Here’s number eight:

8) Sleeper Agents Launch A War Along US Mexico Border

According to the US Congress, quoting US intelligence officials, Iran has set up an elaborate gun smuggling network within Mexico and has used Hezbollah to infiltrate the Mexican Drug Cartels. After the United States attacks Iran these agents quickly launch attacks along the Mexico border. The cartels are more than happy to provide foot soldiers for the war because instability means more drugs entering the United States and more profits.

Soon a sophisticated network of Hezbollah narcotunnels along the border are used to wage attacks on several US law enforcement and civilian control agencies. The resulting turmoil also weakens the agencies inside of Mexico fighting the cartels with the assistance of the US. Soon the destruction of various targets along the border bring the entire area under the control of the drug cartels and Iranian Hezbollah agents and the entire US Mexico border turns into an uncontrolled war zone.
