Russian Federation Council's International Affairs Committee Konstantin Kosachev has said UK airstrikes against terrorists in Syria can be welcomed only in case they hit the announced targets.

"Though this decision (UK involvement in the military operation against Islamic State terrorist organization), just like other actions of the so-called US-led coalition on Syria, have no international legal grounds (while Russia undoubtedly has them), every airstrike against terrorists, if it what it is, hits the sought target that corresponds with our targets," Kosachev wrote on Thursday on his Facebook page. "And this can be welcomed. But I will repeat, only if these airstrikes hit the announced targets," he added.

Kosachev wrote that "it is important that formally the British parliament has made a decision about the country's involvement in the military operation against ISIL militants (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - former name of IS) in Syria, and not in support of the anti-government opposition."

Mush for brains: Erdoğan says 'Russian chess player' responsible for ISIS' oil trade!

Palling around with terrorists

Even as we type this Internet article, trucks full of cheap, delicious and very illegal oil shipments from Syria are pouring into Turkey. But who is to blame? "Famous Russian chess players," according to Turkey's president. Yes, this makes perfect sense:

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday said Turkey had proof Russia was involved in illegal oil trade with ISIS in Syria, countering "immoral" Russian allegations that his own family was importing oil from the jihadists.

"We have the proof in our hands. We will reveal it to the world," Erdogan said in a televised address in Ankara.

Erdogan said Thursday "a famous Russian chess player" was also involved in the oil business with ISIS, without giving a name. "He's also in this race," he said.

Sweet mother of God. Purely for comedy's sake, let's assume he's correct (he might be referring to Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, a wealthy Russian businessman and long-standing president of the World Chess Federation). Is Erdogan incapable of understanding the difference between "ISIS oil tankers are pouring into my country while I look the other way" and "one dude with a Russian passport is making money from an illegal activity". Is Moscow also personally responsible for every Chechen who joins ISIS?

Comment: It's a race to the bottom in the 'mush for brains' contest, and Erdogan's temporarily taken the lead. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is following the 'mush for brains' down:

Commanders of Iraq's popular forces complain that the US is hindering the start of final phase of the operation to free Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, from ISIL control.

"The US bargains and pressures on the Baghdad government have prevented accomplishment of Ramadi liberation operation," Abu Yousef al-Khazali, a commander of Seyed al-Shohada battalion, told FNA on Thursday.

"The US has long been seeking to force the government to stop using the popular forces in military operations against ISIL, specially in the liberation operations conducted in different Iraqi regions," he added.

Also, Karim al-Nouri, the spokesman of Iraq's popular forces, told FNA that the "the Americans' interference has distorted plans to free Ramadi".

He added that "the Americans are not serious about bringing the battles to an end".

Western media retaliates against Russia for outing Turkey's 'dirty little secrets'

On Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry held a briefing detailing the Turkish government's involvement in the trade of Daesh (ISIL) oil. However, instead of starting their own investigations, many Western media outlets have instead attacked Russia for presenting the evidence, suggesting the revelations were 'hostile' and 'confrontational'.

At Wednesday's Defense Ministry briefing in Moscow, Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov presented Russian intelligence materials, including photographs, satellite imagery, and detailed maps outlining exactly how "industrial quantities" of oil from Daesh-controlled territories in Syria and Iraq find their way into Turkey, and then on to third countries.

Undoubtedly the most sensational moment in the briefing was Antonov's statement that Turkey's top political leadership, including President Erdogan and his family, are directly involved in the trade of dirty oil.

Comment: 9 out of 10 terrorist sympathizers agree - Turkey is not buying oil from ISIS:

Russia's President said that Allah, apparently, decided to punish Turkey's leadership by making them lose their minds.

Russia's president said: "We were ready to cooperate with Turkey on any sensitive issue and were ready to go much further than [Turkey's other] allies were willing to. "

Earlier, on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia had received additional evidence that oil from fields controlled by Daesh, which is prohibited in Russia, were being transported to Turkey on an industrial scale.

Comment: Leave it to Putin to say what needs to be said, but in a diplomatic way. Also see:

Realization that the U.S. supports terrorism spreading like wildfire through Iraq

Suspicion that the US is collaborating with Daesh (also known as ISIL/The Islamic State), instead of fighting the military group, is spreading among Iraqis, primarily due to the country's minimalist approach toward the crisis.

To Americans, accusations that the US government is helping Daesh may seem ludicrous. However, many Iraqi fighters and civilians claim they have seen evidence of collusion between the US and the notorious terrorist group citing, for instance, videos allegedly showing US helicopters airdropping weapons to the militants, The Washington Post reported.

The idea that the US is supporting Daesh is being persistently promoted via social media and voiced in parliament by Shiite politicians in Iraq, US military officials claim. In one popular video, recently released on a Shiite militia group's Facebook page, a lawmaker with the country's biggest militia group, the Badr Organization, waves seemingly new US military MREs (meals ready to eat), allegedly found at a recently seized Daesh base in Baiji, saying it is proof that the US supports terrorists.

Comment: Iraq can see first-hand just who the U.S. supports in the region. Also see:

Charts prove that the west's 'war on terror' has only created more terrorism

A British Tornado taxis on the runway after returning from a mission at RAF Akrotiri, in southern Cyprus December 3, 2015.

RAF bombing raids against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria have dealt "a real blow" to the financing of the terror group, said Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, after MPs voted overwhelmingly for war on Wednesday night.

The raids, which took place early on Thursday morning, targeted oil fields in the north of the country. Analysis indicates "the strikes were successful," the Ministry of Defence (MoD) claimed.

Fallon told the BBC he had approved the targets before the House of Commons vote on Wednesday evening, and gave permission for the raids to go ahead once MPs had rubberstamped extending airstrikes against ISIS form Iraq into Syria.

He added that airstrikes against extremists are likely to continue for years.

Comment: Well that was quick. Britain just couldn't wait to start bombing Iraq and Syria.

Russian S-300 in Damascus, Iranian Air Force in Homs?

The Syrian war is rolling like a snowball on the edge of winter with additional new elements introduced in the conflict. The presence of new weapons and armies will impose a heavy weight on the various forces fighting on the ground and over the ongoing diplomacy in the attempt to shorten the life of the war in Syria.

A high-ranking officer within the joint operation room in Damascus (consisting of Russia, Iran, Syria and Hezbollah) said "Damascus received sets of S-300 advanced Russian missiles, ready to enter active service. Soon, Syria will announce that any country using the airspace without coordinating with Damascus will be viewed as hostile and will shoot the jet(s) without warning. Those willing to fight terrorism and coordinate with the military leadership will be granted safe corridors".

In another development, according to the same source, "Iran is preparing two squadrons of Sukhoi to engage the war in Syria. These will be stationed at the T4 Syrian military airport in Homs, very close to Palmyra (Tadmur), previously known as Tiyas. The Iranian Air Force will join the Russian Air Force in their war against extremist terrorist Takfiris in Syria".

Comment: Whether true or not, 'revelations' like this are bound to keep the U.S. coalition on their toes...

We were told long ago that the "war on terror" would make the world a safer place. But after 14 years of permanent warfare, terrorist attacks around the world have escalated by a staggering 6,500%.

If its objective was to end terrorism, the "war on terror" has abjectly failed. Since it was launched in 2001, terror attacks - and the number of people killed by them - have sky-rocketed:

Comment: Contrast these results from the so-called western "war on terror" with the results of Putin's targeted strikes against ISIS and it becomes clear that the west has absolutely no interest in eliminating terrorism, whereas Russia does and is actively doing something about it.

"The Agency has no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009," the report reads.

Comment: This finding sort of puts the kibosh on Israel's complaints that Iran will make nukes.
