Arabic and Gordon had to drop what he was doing on a late Saturday afternoon to
put a crew to get this translated and published.
This is a passionate letter from a man who
loves his country and put into words better that we could the concerns many
have about why the resupplying of the Syrian insurgents was allowed to go on
during the ceasefire to put them in the position to launch counter offenses
after so much had been done to put them on the defensive.
Many of us feel the whole “end game” could be
changed by this turn of events. NATO members are actively engaged in supporting
terrorist proxy forces in Syria and Iraq, in violation of it charter and a list
of other international laws.
Citizens of countries are paying taxes to
support activities done in their name that they would never approve of, yet
consider themselves democracies, or pretend-a-democracies as the case may be.
We salute the good doctor for putting his words
where his heart is. He is not ungrateful for what the Russians have done by any
means…quite the opposite. Syria and Russia are going to win this together,
or lose it together. Unless the resupply chain of the jjhadis is broken it is
hard to see a positive conclusion to these hostilities… Jim W. Dean ]

An Open Letter to President Putin and the
Russian Military High Command
Dear loved ones! Each day new convoys of
armored vehicles cross into Syria, other convoys, all part of
internationally recognized terrorist organizations, move into battle,
sustaining the siege of Aleppo. These armed terrorist convoys, easy
targets for Russian Aerospace forces, move with total freedom, as though
shielded from harm.
Why don’t Russian warplanes destroy them? Is
Russia afraid of the feelings of Netanyahu (Jubair) (al Hamad) and those
“cousins” who haunt the corridors of power in the Russian Foreign Ministry
in Moscow? Russia must learn a sad lesson from America, a nation that
knows that part of being a superpower is supporting friends and allies
without judgement and demands. America stands by their “friends,”
Israel,
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, asking no questions,
making no demands, succumbing to no pressure, these are the actions of a superpower
in this day and age. Why are there so many clearly wrong decisions, such as
supporting the Syrian High Negotiation Committee’s demands in Darya? We
all know this is an entirely military cantonment, a breeding ground for a
terrorist army on Damascus’ flank, a city without a civilian population
whatsoever.
My dear friends and brothers of Russia,
please to not take the example of some within Syria’s corrupt system,
those officers and officials that are but thieves, the children of
prostitutes, or you will become like them and the war in Syria will
be lost, as with Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. Russia will then never be able to
find an ally outside her borders. It was the Empress Catherine the Great,
in 1768, who warned “the Keys to the Kremlin are found in Damascus and Russia,
if it remains a
power of the frozen north, will wither and
die.”
If Moscow is to heed the warning of Catherine,
the Sukhoi storm that had swept through the terrorists ranks like a scythe
would be unleashed again lest the Syrian War, lost to sloth, plotting
and inaction, might find itself at the gates of Moscow, a gift from the
Wahhabi’s.
The spirit that made Russia victorious
after the Second World War, the spirt that help the great Russian people
arise to victory will come to naught if the current policy of consulting
the Zionists who brought down the great homeland in 1991 continues. Russia
will be erased from the South, forgotten in Libya, Iraq, Egypt, forgotten in
Yugoslavia with Montenegro joining NATO, surrounded, plagued, isolated and “sanctioned.”
When Russia came to Syria with an
air force that shook the world, when Russia plunged into battle, proving
not only weapons but courage and resolve as well, the Arab kingdoms
shuddered. With the shock the attack came not only a moral lesson but something
more, the proven capability of Russian arms and a renewal of Russia as a valued
supplier for weapons to offset dependence on America.
Why did you stop? The Battle of Battles,
the relief of Aleppo, was within reach. Why did you stop in Eastern
Ghouta, in Deraa, in Latakia or the Homs countryside? Why? Why did you
give the terrorist time to regroup, to gain breath, to arm and
reorganize themselves while the convoys your satellites and surveillance planes
track day and night flow from Joran and Turkey? Why have you chosen not to
see the threat and duplicity of the Kurds, allied with America to
Balkanize Syria while Barzani, the stooge of Erdogan, does the same to
Iraq?
Why do you sit at the table with your enemies,
allowing talk of “Federation” and the dismemberment of
Syria, something categorically rejected by the
Syrian people? These people, the Syrian people, are not only your
brothers in arms, but without them Russia would lose her foothold on the
Mediterranean. As Crimea is Russia, all that stand to prevent the Black
Sea from becoming an American lake, so Syria stands as well, as Catherine
the Great reminds us all:
“the Keys to the Kremlin are found in Damascus
and Russia, if it remains a power of the frozen north, will wither and
die.”
Respectfully Dr Bassam Habib Barakat
