Russia Readies for War With Turkey

• Saudis, Turks warned about arming terrorists.

• Turkey seems determined to start world war.

By Richard Walker —

While Turkey ponders the risk of invading Syria to establish a foothold in areas close to its border, Russia continues its military dominance in Syria, making it clear it will confront all challengers. The Saudis, smarting from the fact that Russian airpower is eliminating the extreme Islamic groups they have been arming, have offered to send troops to Syria to support the United States if it decides to put boots on the ground.

The Russians meanwhile have made it clear to the Saudis and Turks that if they provide the Islamic State (ISIS) or al-Nusra in Syria with ground-to-air missiles there will be serious consequences.

The major issue facing Washington is that Turkey, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member, appears determined to lure Russia into a wider war. The downing of the Russian fighter jet by Turkey is now regarded as having been a calculated gamble by the Turks to open up a shooting war in which it was expected NATO would have to come to its aid. That galvanized Moscow into increasing its military commitment to the Syrian government led by Bashar al-Assad, including sending its best fighter planes, bombers, and long-range artillery units to support the Syrian military. It also deployed its S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile system. This effectively created a defensive net over the skies of Syria, making it possible to shoot down any Turkish planes entering Syrian airspace.

The reality is that Moscow has established its own no-fly zone, meaning NATO fighters have to seek permission and identify their targets before entering Syrian airspace. Turkish aircraft are excluded.


An East European intelligence source, speaking to AMERICAN FREE PRESS on condition of anonymity, warned that recent reports that Russia suspected Turkey was planning to invade Syria were not far-fetched. Russian special forces tasked to monitor Turkish military units had detected the large movement of forces in barracks close to the Syrian border. The special forces had been sent into Turkey after satellite surveillance picked up evidence of heavy artillery and tank units positioned within striking distance of Syria. A Russian surveillance aircraft that tried to enter Turkish airspace was turned back. According to this source, some NATO members have made it clear to Washington that they believe Turkey is “a loose cannon,” and they will not authorize NATO backing for a Turkish-Arab confrontation with Russia.

Moscow has made it clear to Washington it will retaliate if the Turks send forces into Syria. The Russians are convinced the Saudis are pressing Turkey to so something militarily before Russian airpower eliminates all the extreme Islamic groups the Turks and Saudis have been supporting.

Both Sunni nations see the writing on the wall. Putin has shown he is determined to get rid of all the extreme groups trying to overthrow Assad, even the ones backed by Washington. He is not asking if his planes are targeting ISIS or al-Nusra. He believes they are all cut from the same branch.

The source says NATO leaders in Europe have told Washington that Turkey and the Saudis will have to go it alone if they engage Russia.

Turkey has seen the Russian military methodically degrade all the Islamic militias, ISIS included. The Turks never anticipated that Russia would make it pay a heavy price for downing one of its jet fighters. Russian revenge included the clearing of Turkish-backed Turkmen militias from a large swath of land adjoining Syria’s border with Turkey. This has demonstrated to Turkey its forces will be sitting ducks if they move into Syria. Putin also made good on his promise to send the Kurds in northern Syria a big weapons shipment. That angered the Turkish leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and demonstrated that Moscow was happy to see the Kurds reinforce their territory. It is a move that worries a Turkish state facing increasing Kurdish unrest within and beyond its borders.

Recent reports claim Russia’s success in preventing Turkey and the Saudis resupplying their anti-Assad elements have led to al-Nusra and al Qaeda turning on each other.

  1. Hamza you are a moron. The idea that turkey could even handle Russia let alone NATO forces is a joke. We would be building Walmart’s over dead turkish bodies within the month if we wanted to.

  2. I agree with other people here. Russia and the US need to get together join forces and Destroy Islam off the map. How much Terror attacks can humanity take. Islam has dominated the last several decades with Terror attacks throughout the world and they only increased in the last decade. People are sick of this BS and cannot put up with it anymore. If we have to invade the entire Middle East and occupy it then so be it. Turkey is a proliferator of Islamic Terror and anti-semitism. If Turkey wants war with Russia they are going to get war with everyone. We in America will stand by our Russian Brothers. The assassination of ambassadors from both the USA and Russia should be our rallying cry to crush Islam under our boot.

  3. Islam is the root of all evil the Devils army us and Russia should put there heads to gather sign a non aggression pack take care of bussiness

  4. I was lying when I wrote the previous post. We are very afraid of Russia. They will destroy Turkey. We know it. I decided to come back here and tell the truth. Why? Because as of last month I left the evil thing called Islam. And I am free now. I lost my stupid wife but we had no children so that is good.
  5. First of all, we don’t provide ISIS or another terrorist group. Everyone knows all this sh*t because of you. Everyone knows all terrorist groups work for you. You think that you are smarter than other people but you are not. It will take time but it will come your turn. If Russia readies for war with us, we are already ready for it. Russia or USA or anyone of like you even all West. We are ready.
  6. Some countries look like angels but France, Germany and Italy did provide Saddam Hussein chemical weapons during Iraq’s invasion of Iran. Swedish made weapons are flourishing in the Middle East and elsewhere, etc. USA never signed any treaty against use and proliferation of chemical weapons. Follow the weapon flow and you will find surprises.
