Russia has for a long time been aware of oil going from Syria under the control of terrorists to Turkey, Putin said. The money finances terrorist groups.
“IS has big money, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, from selling oil. In addition they are protected by the military of an entire nation. One can understand why they are acting so boldly and blatantly. Why they kill people in such atrocious ways. Why they commit terrorist acts across the world, including in the heart of Europe,” the Russian leader said.
About Turkey's betrayal as a strategic ally, Putin mentioned:
“We have always treated Turkey as not only a close neighbor, but also as a friendly nation,” he said. “I don’t know who has an interest in what happened today, but we certainly don’t.”
Certainly, all we can do now is to pray no war will happen because It's going to be all in one assault since Turkey has Americans, French, British, Saudi, Qatari and Islamic terrorist friends while Russia could not even be sided with China since it can betray it's ally.
Turkish govt calls it "engagement" but according to a footage from the US, the plane was on Turkish side of the border only for 17 seconds. So their claim that they warned Russia for 10 times before that cannot be true. Even then they had the option to block the Russian plane and force it into Syrian side of the border yet they did the aggressive move towards the plane which was not attacking them at all. They support ISIS and try to brainwash the people into believing that they were "sending aid to Turkmen civilians".
ReplyDeleteI don't think China would betray Russia as its best ally in that "war" would be Russia. And US is a fair weather friend considering how they treated Dinh Diem regime which was their obedient servant, how they disposed of Djindjic after he was no longer useful to them etc. they are more likely to abandon the Turkish govt. Of course I still hope war will not happen as it would cost too many innocent lives to countenance with. It's more than enough that many innocent lives lost through the "moderate rebels" they sponsored.
About China, they don't have a strong conviction and just plays Russia as a friend than a true friend.
ReplyDeleteBut once Turkey attacks Greece than Russia, the prophecies will start.
