veterans_today_banner_NEW_166Well, I decided to not resist and toe lines about "not posting Syria stuff". Anyway, more and more news coming out, more and more "ap[ocalypses" (note this morning's KpRadioHawaii). Russia and Putin are getting the job done that's been needed, and is a part of carrying this planet forward, and upward.

NEO – Russia will now eliminate all air threats to its forces in Syria (I recommend reading the insightful comment by Jim Dean in this one)

[Jim Dean] "...This could be Erdogan's last gasp of credibility on the world stage. The Russians have destroyed over 1000 oil tanker trucks, and news has broken that Erdogan's son has recently bought a $35-million oil tanker for one of the front companies the Erdogan family is using to loot Syria and Turkey.

"Washington continued its steady flow of ridiculous press conferences, where statements like "Russia is destabilizing Syria and making a resolution more difficult" nonsense. At VT, we just shook our heads in amazement at how long the US is remaining in denial over its failed Syrian regime change disaster.

"The West's succession of bad strategy, lies, and tactical blunders is pushing world opinion toward the Russian example of leadership on the world stage. The EU is shifting away from the Russian sanctions with predictions that they will be over sometime in 2016."

US General: Turkey Should Be Kicked Out of NATO

"Turkey pursues its own interests in the Syrian conflict and it is not cooperating with NATO or other forces in the region, a retired US Army Major General Paul Vallely said in an interview with RT.

""They want to recreate their own Ottoman Empire to a great degree, and of course Erdogan is moving more towards a controlled Islamic State [ISIL]. So they have the wrong agenda there in Turkey and that's what they are following", — Vallely noted."

Evidence: Turkish F16 Was Inside Syria When it Downed SU 24

"A Turkish fighter jet launched a missile at a Russian bomber on Tuesday well ahead of the Su-24 approaching the Turkish border, the chief of Russia's Air Force said. The bomber remained on Turkish radars for 34 minutes and never received any warnings.

"The crew of the second Su-24M had a clear view of the moment the missile was fired from the Turkish F-16, and reported this to base... Commander Bondarev noted that a pair of Turkish F-16Cs had been in the area close to the attack zone for more than an hour prior to the attack, which explains their presence in the area...

"One of Turkish F-16Cs stopped its maneuvers and began to approach the Su-24M bomber about 100 seconds before the Russian aircraft came closest to the Turkish border, which also confirms the attack was pre-planned, Commander Bondarev stressed."

Murderer of Russian Pilot Identified as Turkish Intelligence Officer

"VT sources say this is part of a CIA led team hunting Iranian and Russian targets inside Syria that includes Navy SEALs.

"Alparslan Celik, deputy commander of a Syrian Turkmen brigade turned out to be the son of a mayor of a Keban municipality in Turkey's Elazig province... He also turned out to be the member of The Grey Wolves ultranationalist group, members of which have carried out scores of political murders since 1970s.

"Celik came under spotlight after he announced that as the two Russian pilots descended by parachute after the Su-24 jet was downed by Turkish military, both were shot dead by Turkmen forces on Tuesday."
