Want a chuckle over what the pro-President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Turkish media has been broadcasting to corroborate the Machiavellian heroism of the downing of a Russian jet? One of Turkey's most predominant channels hosted a professor of politics and the ex-minister of education in the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government on a sacred duty to disseminate highly far-fetched facts on a TV program last week. Here is a garden of queer points purported by these two scholars with unprecedented merriment:
  • Erdoğan is the Braveheart of the globe... The only man on earth who challenged Israel and made it apologize, and the only hero who said firmly "Stop!" to Russian President Vladimir Putin. No one has been able to dare attack a Russian jet since World War II.
  • Russia is a more dangerous threat to the world than the U.S... The U.S. is not chasing after an expansionist policy; rather they are seeking solutions to the havoc daunting the earth whilst Russia is in pursuit of reviving the Soviet dream... The annexation of Crimea, the Georgian war and the occupation of Syria by Russia proves this and we need the U.S. to confront the re-emergence of communism.
  • Russia is a weak state with a highly vulnerable economy fundamentally relying on oil. A reduction in oil prices will obliterate it soon. A war with Turkey can be their imminent demise.

Comment: It doesn't make us 'chuckle' so much as want to launch Erdogan into space. What a maroon. He's like something out of a Disney movie...

An Iraqi volunteer forces commander has revealed US plans to evacuate Daesh (ISIL/ISIS) leaders from the central Iraqi city of Ramadi, according to the Iranian news agency FARS.

The disclosure comes as the Iraqi army and popular troops are attempting to secure victory over the jihadist group in Ramadi.

FARS quoted Imam Khamenei Battalion Commander Haidar al-Hosseini al-Ardavi as saying that "the delay in operations to liberate the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah in Anbar province has been the result of US interference."

Comment: It's never been more obvious who's responsible for the rise of terrorism around the world. See also:

The head of the Russian Air and Space Forces denied reports that Russian warplanes had hit civilian targets during its two-month counter-terrorism campaign in Syria. The allegations were previously voiced by some rights groups.

"I want to say this with dignity. Not a single time did my pilots hit any 'no-go' sensitive targets such as schools, hospitals, mosques or holy sites," Colonel General Viktor Bondarenko said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 news channel.

Finally! ISIS leader threatens Israel and 'the Jews of the world', calls for uprising in Saudi Arabia

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of Islamic State terrorist group, allegedly issued an audio recording, threatening to turn Palestine into a "graveyard" for Israelis, and urged an insurgency against Saudi Arabia rulers he called "apostates" perverting Islam.

In the audio statement distributed via ISIS-affiliated social media accounts on Saturday, al-Baghdadi said the terrorist group has not forgotten Palestine "for a moment" claiming that Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) is getting closer to Israel "every day". He claimed that the extremists would surround Israelis one day, which "is close" according to the terrorist group leader, Israeli media reported.

The IS leader also claimed that Palestine would become "a graveyard" for Israelis and stated that since all "the Jews of the world" had gathered in Israel, war against them would be "easy."

Comment: Wow, they sure took their time about pitting the rabid Islamists against Jews. Logically, Israel would have been their very first target, not the pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist Syrian regime.

Note to ISIS handlers: if you want your Islamists' words to have any weight in your narrative-making for the general public, make them hate on the two countries helping them most FIRST THING. If you only do it now, this late in the game, people are more likely to not believe it.

Sarcasm aside, we wonder if the weight behind these threats is directed at the leadership of both countries, or perhaps just the Saudi regime, which has indicated in recent months that it suspects the mercenaries will be next turned loose on them.

Human Rights Watch and Western media laments the death of self-proclaimed genocidal terrorist

© UnknownFrom his own mouth, Alloush called for the extermination and torture of Shi’ites and Alawites. And yet Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch laments his death.
With news breaking yesterday that Zahran Alloush, the leader of Jaysh al-Islam, had been killed by Syrian airstrikes, the world reacted in a very peculiar way. Naturally, pro-government supporters rejoiced with the news that the leader of a 20,000 person strong terrorist group that were on the doorsteps of Damascus and consistently and indiscriminately shelled the city, had died.

The airstrike had not only killed Alloush, but another 5 members of Jaysh al-Islam's leadership. It is yet to be revealed whether this intelligence was discovered by the Syrians or the Russians, but what it does present is the changing landscape in the war favoring the government.

With ISIS in retreat in eastern Aleppo, Al-Nusra and its allies in retreat in southern Aleppo and Latakia, this Jaysh al-Islam leadership decimation is the latest blow to the anti-government terrorist forces. Most importantly, this is another major blow to Saudi Arabia and Turkey who backed Alloush's forces. With his death, it became unsurprising that Al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda's branch in Syria, quickly released a media statement giving condolences to the dead terrorist leader.

The Madness of NATO expansion: Seeking Russia's Destruction since 1949

In 1990, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, U.S. president George H. W. Bush through his secretary of state James Baker promised Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev that in exchange for Soviet cooperation on German reunification, the Cold War era NATO alliance would not expand "one inch" eastwards towards Russia. Baker told Gorbachev: "Look, if you remove your [300,000] troops [from east Germany] and allow unification of Germany in NATO, NATO will not expand one inch to the east."

In the following year, the USSR officially dissolved itself. Its own defensive military alliance (commonly known as the Warsaw Pact) had already shut down. The Cold War was over.

So why hasn't NATO also dissolved, but instead expanded relentlessly, surrounding European Russia? Why isn't this a central question for discussion and debate in this country?

Organizer of Crimean blockade brags that Turkey promised him a battalion

Lenur Islyamov, one of the organizers of the so-called Crimean blockade, says that the Turkish defense ministry has promised to provide his group with assistance for the formation of a 560-man volunteer battalion, to be comprised of Crimean Tatar nationalist volunteers.

In an interview for the Odessa Crisis Media Center, cited by Russia's RIA Novosti, Islyamov, the Tatar nationalist organizer who earlier published photos of himself posing with Turkish Grey Wolves militants, and who has since declared that his activists were preparing for a 'naval blockade' of Crimea, said that the Turkish defense ministry would assist his group by providing it with clothing and footwear.

According to the radical activist, the new formation will consist of 560 volunteers. By January 15, the formation will be assigned a number as an official military unit. The unit's main objective, Islyamov says, will be the "defense of the Crimean border from inside Crimea itself," in addition to "attacks" against unspecified targets.

Comment: This is just more blatant criminality and terrorist-funding coming from NATO. Check out:
The fact that the border between Russian Crimea and Ukraine also represents the border between peace and pandemonium highlights the criminal chaos fostered by US-NATO meddling in Ukraine. A peaceful, stable Crimea serves as a constant reminder to all in Eastern Europe that where ever NATO goes, chaos follows.

If the US and its NATO allies could destabilize Crimea, thus creating chaos within newly repatriated Russian territory, the West could make a compelling case that dealing with Russia is at least as undesirable as dealing with NATO.

US-NATO backed Turkish terrorism would be the key to accomplishing this. Crimea's proximity to Turkey and a sizable Turkish Tatar minority serves as a potential medium for the West to carry this out. Already the Western media has invested heavily in a narrative centered around "disenfranchised Tatars" and has begun working with opposition groups to stir up confrontations. Like in Xinjiang, those willing to participate in such an opposition constitute a fractional minority - but through the power of Western media, are inflated in the minds of impressionable audiences.

The Daesh jihadist group has released 25 Assyrian Christians kidnapped in February in return for ransom, a representative of the Assyrian group in northern Syria said.

Daesh militants captured 36 Christian villages along the Khabur River in the province of Al Hasakah in February. The extremist group outlawed in Russia destroyed ancient churches, killed scores of civilians and kidnapped over 300 Assyrians in the offensive.

"We were able to negotiate through mediators the release of another 25 Assyrians from captivity. In return, we gave the ransom to terrorists. There are still some 80 Assyrians in captivity," the source told RIA Novosti on Saturday.

Comment: Hopefully all of these individuals will get home safely, and Washington's psychopathic nut-jobs will get what they deserve.

The fate of Raqqa, the de-facto capital of Daesh, has come under serious threat as one of the chief supply roads across the Euphrates has now been cut off by Kurdish-led forces Saturday.

Several villages and nearby lands, canals along the Euphrates river and - most importantly - the strategic Tishrin dam have been captured from Daesh by Kurdish, Arab and Assyrian allied forces in a rapid advance over the course of the day, the regional forces' spokesman said in a statement on Saturday.

Representative of the Syrian opposition that participated in the Astana talks on the Syrian reconciliation, called on the international community to disqualify Saudi Arabia from mediating settlement of the Syrian conflict, according to a letter of the so-called Astana Initiative's Executive Committee obtained by Sputnik on Saturday.

More than 70 representatives of the Syrian opposition gathered in Kazakhstan's capital Astana twice in 2015 — in May and October.

"Saudi Arabia's attitude since the start of the conflict and the fact that Saudi authorities have raised tensions between communities and encouraged the emergence of groups of extremist fighters should disqualify them from taking part in negotiations that will lead to peace in Syria," the letter sent to US Special Envoy for Syria, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura and the Russian Foreign Ministry reads.
