Syria, ISIS: "May God have mercy on you, the specnaz will have none"

Moscow has deployed in Syria a group of assault Specnaz (we like to use transliteration from the Cyrillic) already entered into action. The risk (which we anticipated in times not suspicious) has now been confirmed. The Russian media, just in these hours, do nothing but enhance the five most powerful weapons that Isis should fear: among these are precisely the Specnaz.

The terrorists have sown wind for too long making all kinds of cruelty and atrocities, convinced of being protected by the international community increasingly unable to react and from that Western respectability that is indignant and opens its arms. That weakness that hides, in reality, a fundamental inability to deal with the lowest level of terrorists. Because you can not always turn your eyes, turn off the TV or think that everything that is happening can not happen to us.

How long will it be before they start blasting our churches? Have you ever wondered or, in the name of the secular state, is a problem only for Catholics? It's just a probabilistic factor, sooner or later some crazy guy will do it. And then what will we do? Will we ask the US to launch some fighter? And the Catholics, practicing or not, will have to look helplessly at what is happening, repressing the rage of justice that pervades the members while witnessing yet another group rape?

The West, that Western culture (and Italian reflection) imposes a tolerance: a long blanket woven with weakness. We are at war with the Islamic State. In war. And beyond what can be said, barbarians are being carried out in the name of a perverse interpretation of religion a few thousand kilometers. And today, the West, assists helplessly in another war where the Russians took to the field.

It would be appropriate to tell an anecdote about Specnaz. They are war machines trained to win or die in an attempt to complete the mission. War ammunition, during the entire training, are used immediately and accidents, even those fatal, are considered acceptable. Only among the officers is the word "Specnaz" used: these receive supplementary training of another four years. All the Specnaz receive the unofficial symbol of the wolf: the wolves hunt in packs and defeat prey larger than themselves, causing maximum damage. Of course, the West is well aware of what the American Seal can do or the elements of the English SAS. But for the Specnaz, the speech is different.

"Terror of terrorists" headline in Russia. And maybe that's exactly why in the elite of the Russian military, completing the goal is more important than side effects. The ISIS terrorists, among them many Chechens who know what the Russians are capable of, are going to face something never seen in battle. We are talking about ferocity associated with pure asymmetry, perhaps in its highest point and in some ways more terrifying. And, sorry to say, against the monsters of ISIS, they could not be deployed that elements of the kind. The Putin knows it, the Russians know it and the Americans know it.

But did anyone really think that the United States would launch itself in another Vietnam? Even the American soldiers are "sons of mother" you know and we can not delegate to them every enemy of the world. Just scroll on the social channels managed by the Americans to notice an endless string of gravestones: boys dead in battle for peoples who will never stop hating them. Hatred, essential component of some cultures.

Saying in Italy "I hate a terrorist" would provoke indignation. To say it in the United States is patriotism. You could not ask them to sacrifice themselves for Syria even if it was done. And here in the international political arena, Russia stands as a champion (beyond the real interests) of the free world. Putin does not need anyone to declare war on the Islamic State. In Syria continues to amass troops. It is the owner of the air, it is protected from the sea and has four fortified bases (it will have others soon). And in the coming days, it will always be worse for the terrorists. Their rhetoric will not protect them from the Russians.

It is curious to note how the Russian media are fully supporting the mission in Syria and that the terrorists of the world, except for some groups in search of fame, are still silent on their social accounts, always active in publishing some decapitation.

Crippling a phrase so popular in the States: "May God have mercy on them, the Specnaz will not have". And this time too, the West will be safe.
