Turkey Threatens Action on Syria as Russian-Backed Offensive Pushes Towards Border

Syrians fleeing the brutality of the Assad/Putin offensive in Idlib province.

2/19/20
Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday a Turkish military operation to push back a Syrian government offensive against rebel strongholds in northwest Syria was now "a matter of time" after talks with Russia failed to halt the assault. Turkish troops have already massed inside Syria ready to act and more were heading to the border area. The Kremlin, which backs Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, said a confrontation between Turkish and Syrian forces would be a "worst-case scenario" and Russia would keep working to prevent the situation from worsening. Syrian troops supported by Russian warplanes and special forces have been battling since December to eradicate the last rebel bastions in Idlib and Aleppo provinces in what could be one of the final chapters of the nine-year-old civil war. Nearly one million civilians have fled from airstrikes and artillery barrages towards the frontier, overwhelming relief agencies and alarming Turkey, which is struggling to cope with the 3.6 million Syrian refugees already camped inside its borders.

While no fan of his, I can appreciate Erdogan's point. The Assad/Putin forces are bombing, shelling, or shooting everything that moves in Idlib province, driving another 1 million Syrian War refugees towards the Turkish border. Ankara already has ~3 million war refugees living within its borders. The three brutal regime's operating here in this small area each have their own agenda that do not mesh at all levels. Russia may yet regret selling Turkey their S-400 anti-air systems.
 
Syria's combat aviation and air defense forces received an order that "any aircraft that attempt to invade Syrian airspace will be regarded as enemy targets and will be destroyed," SANA news Agency reported.
What an outrageous impertinence on their part.
 
With Al Quwwat al-Jawwiyah al Arabiya as-Souriya being the joke that it is when it comes to dog fights, it'll be interesting to see how they're going to drop barrel bombs from helicopters onto Turkey's F-16s.
 
German foreign Minister Heiko Maas:
"We condemn the ongoing attacks by the syrian regime and its russian allies in northern Syria."
It sounds great: we condemn the attacks of the syrian regime in the north of Syria.
Does this bastard still not condemn the attacks of the soviet regime at Stalingrad?

Stalingrad?

Hey Mr. Stalin :poke

It's 2020.
 
Turkey has called an emergency meeting of the NATO Council.
Any country in the alliance can call such a Council if there is a threat to its "territorial integrity, political independence or security".
The Syrian President is insidiously threatening to seize turkish territories in Syria!
 
"The only long — term solution to the problem of Idlib, and indeed the whole of Syria, will be the final and irrevocable expulsion of terrorists from this country," said Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia.
An outrageous concept. The regime doesn't even want to understand that there are different types of terrorists.

I agree. Assad, Putin, and Erdogan.
 
"The Syrian trade Minister accused the US of selling Syrian oil through Turkey"
Nothing has changed. Only before the Syrian oil was sold through Turkey by the ISIS. And 75% of its volume was bought by the Israel.

"The Syrian Trade Minister" = Assad's cousin.
 
The US ambassador to the UN called on Russia to immediately land all warplanes in Syria, and also called on Assad's troops to move beyond the demarcation line. And in general, surrender to lousy bandits and draw a line on the neck, where head should be cut off.
 
The US ambassador asks that Assad and Putin cease their war crimes.....

"The EU and the US must now work together to increase pressure on Assad and Putin to... put an end to the terrible war in Syria," the German defense Minister said.
All this terrible war is the result of the joint "work" of the hypocrites from US and the EU!
 
"All of Russia's official requests to the UN and Western countries — who exactly is bringing humanitarian aid for Syria across the Turkish border and why almost all of it goes to terrorists , not refugees-remained unanswered," said a representative of the Russian defense Ministry.
 
There is nothing more dangerous than humanitarian aid from the United States
The permanent representative of the United States to the United Nations, Kelly Kraft, boasted on Twitter that the administration of Donald trump will provide humanitarian assistance to Syrians in the amount of $ 108 million. In total, since the beginning of the crisis, the amount of American donations amounted to more than$ 10 billion.
Incredible generosity. Only Kelly Craft forgets to point out two small nuances. First, aid is not intended for all Syrians, but only for some. Second, during the years of the crisis, the United States siphoned off much more money from Syria.

It is known that the American army did not withdraw from the Syrian Republic, but only reduced the territory of its illegal stay in this country. The territory was reduced exactly to areas with oil fields in Syria, which remained under the control of the us armed forces. That is, when the most democratic army faced the question of who to protect from the" tyrant Assad " – Syrians or oil, the second option was chosen without any hesitation.
The United States not only controls the Syrian oil fields, but also absolutely does not hesitate to pump black gold from the subsoil, and then sell it to Turkey and then to other countries. Simply put, the Americans are stealing Syria's natural resources. To be more precise, they rob, that is, they kidnap openly, without hiding. And to be even more precise, they commit robbery, because they use weapons and use violence.

Russian foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova made the following statement on this issue:

"In order to circumvent their own sanctions, the Americans smuggle oil worth more than $ 30 million a month from Syria and do not plan to leave these areas in the foreseeable future."

It turns out to be a very convenient position. The States do not even need to support local and not only local bandits fighting the Assad government. After all, 108 million dollars of aid allocated to them are pumped out of Syrian land for a maximum of three months. That is, the sponsorship of the war in Syria comes at the expense of the natural resources of Syria itself, at the expense of the population of this long-suffering country. A magnificent scheme!

American troops captured all areas with oil fields that still had suitable infrastructure - railways, highways, and power plants. In all other places in the Syrian Republic, oil production is currently impossible. It turns out that the oil country, Syria, is forced to import oil from other countries, and for dollars! Meanwhile, the US has imposed sanctions on all syrian banks, including the Central bank, and banned any money transfers from abroad to this state.
In such circumstances, the American diplomat Kelly Kraft boasts of allocating 108 million dollars to the "syrians". It would be enough to just stop robbing them and get off their land. In this case, they themselves would have restored their war-weary economy.

As a result of the Turkish operation Olive branch in Syria, 250,000 residents, mostly Kurds, were forced to leave their homes. After the Turkish operation "Source of peace", another 135 thousand people left their areas of residence .
This was reported by a representative of the Russian defense Ministry.
And when will this naughty Assad stop provoking the migration crisis?

You appreciate the effort of defending Jihadists?
 
:roll: You always defend war criminals? Apparently yes you do.
 
The US Ambassador to Turkey said that it was Russia that organized the offensive of Syrian troops in Idlib, in this "last remaining de-escalation zone".
It turns out that the last zone with terrorists and the greatest humanitarian crisis of the population is called the "last zone of de- escalation".
 
:roll: As always, no citation from the Communist.
 
:roll: Indeed. Putin and Assad are war criminals.
