Obama and Erdogan Deliberately Provoke Putin

(UPDATE - Russian jet shot down in Syrian air space)

A Russian SU-24 bomber targeting terrorist troop movements along Syrian and Turkish border regions was deliberately shot down by Turkish jets for allegedly entering Turkish air space yesterday. In telephone talks with Erdogan Obama immediately emphasised Turkey’s right to defend its ‘sovereignty ' and that Turkey is “supported by the United States and NATO,” notwithstanding that Turkey is not engaged in a military conflict with Russia, at least not prior to this provocative incident.

The searing hypocrisy and DOUBLE STANDARD of Erdogan’s and Obama’s claims are stunning as Turkey and the US regularly breach Syrian sovereignty and air space and continue to do so as I write. The downing of a Russian bomber by US made F-16 fighter jets is perceived by most analysts as a deliberate provocation and reveals an intent to precipitate a much broader conflict. The US’ bombing campaign in Syria (and its overt support for terrorist groups on the ground) is grossly illegal under the same law that Obama now refers to in defence of Erdogan but of course laws only apply to others never the criminal USA or its vassal allies.

Obama’s immediate reference to NATO support hardly veils the intention, and that is to provoke Russia into a broader conflict with NATO/US as Russia has exposed the criminal activities of allied nations in the region and is making short work of their proxy fighting forces on the ground, which include ISIL and other terrorist proxy groups fighting against the legitimate government of Syria.

The antics of these two buffoon leaders in view of their own breaches of sovereignty is breathtaking and allows Russia to make a laughing stock of both Obama and Erdogan in the GLOBAL community, notwithstanding its right to reduce Turkey to ashes if it so chooses due to an overt act of war and for the continuing gross illegalities and criminal activities against its ally Syria, which include facilitating ISIL oil tanker convoys to market via Turkey and the overt military support to terrorist groups on the ground in Syria which utilise Turkey’s border regions to move freely in and out of Syria, in fact ISIL has gone so far as to publicise, in its recruitment propaganda videos, how to join its forces via the long established Turkish route.

Erdogan’s and Obama's feeble claims and excuses in the context of REALITY are about as solid as wet toilet paper, as is plain to see. Nevertheless, the US and its NATO allies have flouted international law for the past fifteen years and would probably continue to do so and create a critical global crisis in the process; anything could happen in the current extremely strained context. However, Russia has displayed amazing clarity, reason and effectiveness throughout its campaign to eliminate all terrorist groups in the region and we anticipate a very unanticipated outcome.

However, in a foolhardy attempt to avoid further exposure of their overt criminal activities in Syria, the US and Turkey may just have opened the door to an unexpected visitor in the form of China. I would add, it is known globally that every illegal intervention the US and its vassal allies have been engaged in over the past 15 years has failed miserably, in fact, the US and its spineless vassal allies have created evermore problems for the entire world and this shoot down is yet another example of allied 'genius'.

We wait for Russia’s response on the matter, however, as is clear, Obama and Erdogan have positioned themselves as sitting ducks.

UPDATE:
The United States believes the Russian jet shot down by Turkey was hit inside Syrian airspace after a brief incursion into Turkish airspace, a US official told Reuters.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the assessment was based on detection of the heat signature of the jet.


Also, please note the original article to which the link refers has been reworded and re-structured now to include the above update and tone down the searing hypocrisy - perhaps IT geeks could fetch the cached copy out of cyberspace. It would be appreciated as I was just about to copy and incude it here when it was altered.
