Extraordinary footage from Syria - nothing like it in the Western media. Must-see TV to understand what is really happening in Syria.

This TV segment is already a week old, but we just managed to get our hands on the English transcript, and it is just fantastic.

Watch it to get a sense of the incredible drama happening right now in Syria. It is great TV.

Kisses and tears of joy. You can't watch this and not be moved ...

It shows the dramatic entry into Deir ez Zor of Syrian troops, supported by Russian fighter jets and bombers - what has been termed a massive strategic victory for Syria, and the de-facto end of the war - the rest is just mop-up.

The ISIS / US / Israel / Saudi Arabia coalition has lost - the Syria / Russia / Iran coalition has won. It's a big deal.

Remarkable war reporting - Hemingway would have been proud

It is yet another example of what a great job the Russian war correspondents are doing, blowing their Western colleagues out of the water, much like their counterparts in the Russian air force and navy are decimating US-backed ISIS and Al Qaeda units.

The segment is made by another legendary Russian war correspondent, Evgeny Poddubny, who has become a celebrity in Russia for this kind of close-to-the-action reporting.

The video features incredible footage, at times just plain cool, at times tear-jerking. It:

Shows Russian battleships firing enormous rockets which were 'essential to the victory' Contrasts the Russian humanitarian efforts - bringing in medical supplies for civilians, to the 'humanitarian catastrophe' orchestrated by the US in Raqqa - and the 'sloppy work' of the US air force. Explains the presence of 'experienced and well-trained foreigners', i.e. CIA mercenaries, helping the ISIS formations. Shows the emotional meeting of Syrian fighters who had been holed up for 3 years, completely cut off - only air-supplies could be dropped in. This is perhaps the most moving part, burly Syrian soldiers crying and kissing after a bloody siege in which they took heavy casualties.

There is much more - children celebrating, mortars going off 200 meters away from the journalists, the Russian calling in an air-strike to ward off an ISIS spotter, Russian jets swooping in to blow the daylights out of the Jihadis, and much, much more.

What really comes through is the excellent work of the Russian war journalists. They are with the first Syrian troops to enter the city, and do a great job capturing the emotions, the drama, the dangers, the reality of what is happening on the ground.

Quite remarkable - nothing like it on Western TV.

We have two other excellent articles up today, one by Tony Cartalucci from NEO, explaining how things might play out in the 'Endgame', and one from Strategic Culture explaining what a devastating defeat this is for the US, and a massive vindication for Russia.

Funny, nothing about this in the NY Times and the Washington Post. Please support our fund drive to keep this information flowing. We're winning! You won't find this info anywhere else.
