Alert from 21st
Century Wire and a summary of the story
SITREP:
We believe that Turkish leader Erdogan will not back-down, but
instead will ESCALATE this controversy, in effect 'Double-down' to
created a more definitive dialectic between NATO/West and Russia.
They need a bigger 'CRISIS' to force some agenda, which looks like a
'NO-FLY ZONE/SAFE ZONE' in Northern Syria. Watch out for Turkey next
moves...
RUSSIAN RESPONSE: World Class S-400 Surface-to-Air Missile System Deployed in Syria
Russia’s
Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has announced that the Russian Air
Force base in Latakia will
now be supported with S-400 SAM systems after the
unprecedented act of aggression exhibited by Turkey yesterday.
Shoigu
also announced the following enhancements to the Russian mission in
Syria that are sure to generate anger from Turkey and NATO:
- All Russian bombers will now be escorted by Russian fighter jets that will be able to repel any further air-to-air attacks.
- Guided Russian missile cruisers have been deployed off the coast of Latakia to provide long range anti-air support.
- All military-to-military contact with Turkey has been suspended.
The
S-400 is Russia’s most advanced hypersonic SAM system and is truly
world class. It has a range of 400km and is capable of destroying,
tactical aircraft, strategic aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic
missiles.
The
system will be defending squadrons of Su-27SM and Su-30 fighter jets,
along with Su-34 and Su-24 tactical bombers at the Russian base in
Latakia, Syria.
The deployment of the system signals that Russia is not only taking yesterday’s aggressions very seriously, but that it will absolutely be responding to any further provocations.
Russia
believes the attack
was a preplanned provocation, and the surviving pilot has said
his aircraft was never
once warned by Turkey before it was attacked ‘out of
nowhere’ before
it could take evasive action.
Russian officials are now exposing the world of nefarious geopolitical games for everyone to see.
Watch
a video of this report here:
After Russian special forces and Syrian soldiers rescued the surviving pilot from yesterday’sinternational incident, he revealed that absolutely no warning was given to them and the attack ‘came out of nowhere’.
Now,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is stepping
up his attack on the Turkish regime’s actions:
“We
have serious doubts that this act was unintentional. It looks very
much like a preplanned provocation,”
Lavrov
said many in Russia see the attack as an “obvious
ambush“.
He
also spoke of the area that the attack took place in,
saying it is home to hundreds of foreign terrorists, along with their
weapons depots and command centers:
“I
asked Turkish FM Çavuşoğlu whether Turkey’s close attention to
this region, including the calls to create a buffer zone there, was
motivated by a desire to protect this infrastructure from
destruction. I didn’t receive any reply to this question,”
The
evidence of mounting that Turkey is not only a rogue state that acts
recklessly, but one that openly supports terrorism.
Lavrov
also spoke with disappointment about the response from NATO:
“Very
strange statements were voiced after a NATO meeting called by the
Turks, which didn’t express any regret or condolences and in effect
were aimed at covering up what the Turkish Air Force did yesterday,”
Instead
of supporting the Turks, it could be more prudent for NATO to expel
the terroristic nation from its organisation to maintain any
credibility at all.
If
would-be Sultan Erdogan wants a war, let him fight his own battles –
farewell and good luck (you’re gonna need it).

Rescued Russian Pilot: ‘Turkey Gave Us NO Warning Before Shooting’
After
yesterday’s volatile situation where Turkey
shot down a Russian jet it claimed had violated its
airspace, Turkish officials quickly issued a statement saying that
the jet waswarned
ten times before being shot at.
It
then emerged that the plane violated Turkish airspace for just
17 seconds.
Now
Russian special forces and Syrian soldiers have freed the pilot who
survived, after a 12 hour operation that claimed the life of another
Russian soldier, and he
has a rather different story to tell:
“It’s
impossible that we violated their airspace even for a second,”
“We
were flying at an altitude of 6,000 meters in completely clear
weather, and I had total control of our flight path throughout,”
“In
actual fact, there were no warnings at all. Neither through the
radio, nor visually, so we did not at any point adjust our course,”
“You
need to understand the difference in speed between a tactical bomber
like a Su-24, and that of the F16. If they wanted to warn us, they
could have sat on our wing,”
“As
it was, the missile hit the back of our plane out of nowhere. We
didn’t even have time to make an evasive maneuver.”
Konstantin
Murakhtin, the pilot who survived, won the Top Navigator award
at Russia’s biggest military flying competition last year and has
vowed to return to frontline combat flights saying:
“I
must ‘pay back’ the debt for my captain.”
Captain
Sergey Rumyantsev, the other pilot, was killed after being shot at by
Western and Turkish backed ‘moderate rebels’ while parachuting.
Turkey
appears then to be acting in a manner that might earn it the title of
a ‘rogue
state‘.
Even
if the jet did stray slightly into Turkish airspace, it is apparent
that no warning was given and the Erdogan regime acted in a reckless
and provocative manner that endangered international peace and
security.
As
such, many on social media are now using the hashtag
– #BoycottTurkey –
as a means to express their outrage with the incident.

Yesterday’s international
air incident which took place along the Syrian-Turkish
border, is potentially the most dangerous geopolitical event to take
place in living memory – an incident that is already quickly
threatening to kill a number of peace treaties, as well as intensify
an international situation that’s already beyond repair.
You’d
expect a US leader to bring his A game. Instead, President Barack
Obama did something astonishing at yesterday’s White
House press conference with French leader, Francois
Hollande.
Rather
than bother to appear as an honest broker and mediate the
international incident (NATO’s last shoot-down of a Russian
aircraft was in
1951), he instead blamed Russia
for Turkey shooting its fighter down and for its pilots being killed
or captured by US/NATO/Turkey-backed militant Islamist insurgents
camped along Syria’s northwest border with Turkey.
Equally
as childish, CNN trumpeted the tired, camp T-shirt cum hashtag
slogan, running with the headline, “Obama:
We are all French now”.
If
only Barack could speak French like Monsieur Kerry, then
he’d have said, “Je
suis Français.”

Obama
then started his act. Cringe worthy would be an understatement. What
was on display can only be described as a national
humiliation by
a President who remains suspended in an imaginary bubble of his own.
With World War
Three knocking at the door, you’d expect the
President to get right down to business, but no. Instead, he waffled
on as if it were just anotherRotary
Club speech.
Just
like his predecessor, this is a President in desperate need of adult
supervision.
He
began by musing, “They’re part of our memories, woven into the
fabric of our lives and our culture. I am very grateful to the
French people for the hospitality they’ve always shown me, and when
they welcomed Michelle and our daughters on their first visit to the
City of Lights. By my bed, in the residence, is a picture of me
and Michelle in Luxembourg Gardens, kissing. Those are the
memories we have of Paris. As early on, I had no gray hair.”
Clearly,
he just loves all things French. You could almost feel a
real bromance coming
on between Thin Man and the Frenchman.
After
softening up the crowd for 10 minutes, talking about the Statue of
Liberty and his romantic ‘Kodak moments’ with Michelle and the
girls, from their taxpayer-funded vacation in Paris, the President
finally got around to addressing the World War provocation carried
out yesterday morning by NATO member, Turkey.
Obama
then rolled out the lies: “I do think that this points to an
ongoing problem with the Russian operations in the sense that they
are operating very close to a Turkish border, and they are going
after a moderate opposition that are supported by not only Turkey but
a wide range of countries. And, if Russia is directing its
energies towards Daesh and ISIL, some of those conflicts, or
potential for mistakes or escalation, are less likely to occur.”
Today’s
speech by President Barack Obama was nothing less than a coded
warning to Russia, effectively threatening:
“Leave our
terrorist fighters on the ground alone and let us overthrow
the Syrian government, or else.”
Obama
and Hollande proceeded to wring-out that tired old State Department
propaganda line, that“Assad
must go”,
but as usual without actually offering up a real case to support that
slogan. The French President did his part by trying to add to an
already inflated Syrian ‘civilian’ death toll, one which last
month was being touted by western propagandists at a lofty 240,000 –
a figure invented by the long discredited UK/EU-funded ‘Syrian NGO’
outfit cynically titled, the Syrian
Observatory For Human Rights (SOHR). Yesterday, Hollande
pumped it up to 300,000.
Who knows, next month it might get inflated up to half a million.
Goebbels would be proud. Here, Hollande embellishes the previous
fiction stating:
“I
commend the work done by ministers Fabius and Kerry to agree a
timeline that will enable a ceasefire, of course, as quickly as
possible, and to open up to a process that will lead to Bashar
al-Assad’s departure. Because we cannot imagine the Syrians
getting together, gathering around the leader who is responsible for
some — the most of 300,000
dead in
a few years. So a government of unity is required, but that
must lead to Assad’s departure. ”
That’s
right. It’s never been about ISIS, and it’s still all
about regime
change.
It
should come as no surprise to the west that Russia would react the
way it has – by freezing any diplomatic relations with Turkey and
ceasing any military cooperation in the region. Russia also
positioned its Naval Destroyer off the coast of Syria to provide
sea-to air missile coverage against any threat to its forces in
Syria. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Russians today
that they should cancel any vacation or travel plans to Turkey – a
trade which nets Turkey tens of millions per month. In a word, this
is war.
No
matter what cheap spin is being deployed by Washington and NATO in
terms of painting Turkey as the ‘victim’ and its al Qaeda and
ISIS ‘rebels’ as moderates – the fact is that both Turkey and
its fellow NATO allies are the parties responsible for escalating
tensions in the Middle East, and around the world. Even if the US is
able to hide this fact from US audiences – everyone outside of the
US already knows it. This puts the US public at a severe
disadvantage, as its own rogue regime continues to conduct one of the
biggest foreign policy frauds in history.
Meanwhile,
President Obama is still cracking jokes, trying to be cute and clever
to his almost clueless press corps in the East Room of the White
House. It’s just another in a long, never-ending series of
geopolitical low-points for
America and the world.
Here’s
a point to consider: should this situation continue to go south, it’s
more likely that history will judge Barack
Hussein Obama very
badly – with the primary responsibility being laid as hisfeet…

By
now, anyone with a functioning brain should see what’s actually
been going on in the region:
Russia
is in the region legally (by international law) to fight the
terrorist conclave – while US, NATO are there illegally, and like
Turkey, the
US-led ‘Coalition’ is actually supporting that same terrorist
conclave…
RT reports:
Moscow
plans to suspend military cooperation with Ankara after the downing
of a Russian bomber by Turkish air forces, Russian General Staff
representatives said on Tuesday. Further measures to beef up Russian
air base security in Syria will also be taken.
Three
steps as announced by top brass:
- Each and every strike groups’ operation is to be carried out under the guise of fighter jets
- Air defense to be boosted with the deployment of Moskva guided missile cruiser off Latakia coast with an aim to destroy any target that may pose danger
- Military contacts with Turkey to be suspended
Sergey
Rudskoy, a top official with the Russian General Staff, condemned the
attack on the Russian bomber in Syrian airspace by a Turkish fighter
jet as “a
severe violation of international law”.
He stressed that the Su-24 was downed over the Syrian territory. The
crash site was four kilometers away from the Turkish border, he said.
