Turkey stabs Russia in the back!

Downing of Russian plane by Turkey augurs World War III.

ANKARA, Turkey (PNN) - November 25, 2015 - War is the great clarifier, and in the case of the battle against Islamist insurgents, including ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria, the downing of a Russian war plane by the Turkish military has demonstrated this principle quite dramatically.

The Fascist Police States of Amerika and its NATO allies, including Turkey, claim to be fighting ISIS, otherwise known as the “Islamic State,” but the Turks’ main fire has been directed at the Kurds and the Syrian regime itself. Turkey has been the main conduit for aid to the Islamic State, and the Turkish intelligence agency has long collaborated with Islamists in the region. The FPSA, for its part, has attacked ISIS positions, and yet Washington’s insistence that the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must go has undermined its ostensible goal of destroying the Islamic State: most of the Amerikans’ resources have gone into buttressing the “moderate” Islamist opposition. These “moderates” include, incredibly enough, the Syrian affiliate of al-Qaeda, who has forged an alliance with FPSA-backed rebels in a joint effort to unlawfully overthrow Assad.

On the other hand, the Russians have been unequivocal about their war aims: the elimination of the jihadists from Syrian territory. This has meant supporting the only viable alternative to jihadist rule: the Assad regime. Working in conjunction with government forces, Russian war planes have devastated jihadist positions and aided the Ba’athist regime in its effort to regain territory.

This incident has revealed what the real sides are in the Syrian civil war: who is fighting whom, and for what. The Russian plane crashed into Syrian territory and one of the pilots was shot from the skies as he parachuted: this barbaric act was captured on video by the rebels, who are being reported as affiliated with the Turkmen 10th Brigade. This is just for public consumption, however: in reality, the area is controlled by an alliance of rebel forces dominated by the al-Nusra Front, which is the official Syrian affiliate of al-Qaeda. The jihadists took control of the area in March of this year, and it has been the focal point of recent fighting between al-Qaeda and Syrian government forces backed by the Russian air offensive.

So FPSA-backed jihadists, including al-Qaeda, are using weapons supplied by Washington to fight the Russians and the Syrian government.

Washington has effectively entered an alliance with al-Qaeda. The “War on Terror” has turned into a war on Russia, a proxy war in Syria in which Washington is actively aiding its former enemies - the very same people who it claims brought down the World Trade Center and attacked The Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

Turkey is a member of NATO, and in any conflict with Russia NATO members are pledged to come to its aid. The danger highlighted by this incident can hardly be overemphasized.

Putin’s accusation that this is “a stab in the back by the accomplices of terrorists” is absolutely correct - but he isn’t just talking about Turkey, whose Islamist regime has been canoodling with the terrorists since the start of the Syria civil war. Washington and its allies, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar - who have been directly aiding ISIS as well as the “moderate” head-choppers - is indirectly responsible for the downing the Russian plane - including a barbaric attack on the rescue helicopter, which was downed by a FPSA-provided TOW missile launcher.

Yes, your tax dollars are going to support Islamist crazies in Syria. The same people who attacked Paris are being aided and abetted by the FPSA - and if that isn’t a criminal act, then there is no justice in this world.

As Europe cowers before a terrorist assault, and the War Party justifies universal surveillance of the Amerikan people by citing the threat from domestic attacks by ISIS, we are allied with these barbarians in Syria. The foreign policy wonks in Washington are taking this opportunity to demonize Russia: according to them, Putin and not ISIS is the real threat to the West.

This would be funny if it wasn’t such a widely shared talking point. For the past year or so the Russia-haters have been confidently predicting that Putin would be marching through the streets of Kiev and gobbling up the Baltics in a single swallow. A Russian invasion, according to the Ukrainians and their FPSA cheerleaders, has been imminent for the past nine months. According to their scenario, by this time Putin should be crossing the English Channel and laying siege to London. Naturally, nothing of the sort has happened, nor will it happen: it’s the Amerikans who want a repeat of the Cuban missile crisis, not Putin.

Now they have it.

Are you ready for World War III?
