A clear statement is needed from Syria’s government-insisting that no Turkish NATO invasion and infringement on the Sovereignty of Syria would be tolerated. Syria’s neighbor, Iraq, has previously condemned a Turkish encroachment.
The are only two-2 options for the former Soviet Republics. Those are, to rejoin the Russian Federation, or be the servile puppets of the Zionist-American Imperialists. The Russian government must protect its security, before it is completely surrounded by an Iron Ring of imperialist military forces. It must either determine these options, or submit to the will of the Zionist American Terrorists.
As the public attacks on Russia’s President in the imperialist media show, there will be no let up of the terrorist Oligarch’s increasingly dangerous anti-Russian aggressions. As Orwell wrote in his prophetic warning, “I sometimes fear that we shall never awake til we are jerked out of it by the roar of bombs.”
It is better to wake up early and take care of business. Delay only increases the danger.
An attack on Russia from Georgia spells the end of Georgia. This does not threaten Russia it spells the end of Georgia and poses an existential threat to the world. What is the USA going to do if they try to attack Russia and Russia nukes them? Come to the Rescue, threaten Russia with sanctions? Launch a nuclear attack on Russia? That means they die in the fire as well. Russia may even ” Strike First” The USA won’t last economically until May anyway. Now that does make them dangerous, rabid actually.

Ganga talk Turkish style… oh pleaze masta can I shoot pleaze pleaze..
HA the leader of the “rebel’ faction are moderate terrorists! How can these guys even talk about politics? They want the other 95% of Syrians to agree to their demands? Not going to happen.
Approx. 100 #Russia-n soldiers & advisers have arrived in Qamishli #Syria near the border with #Turkey
The move to deploy military personnel in Qamishli, which is currently under the control of the Syrian regime and the Democratic Union Party (PYD), is likely to cause tension with Turkey, which has grown wary of outside powers’ increasing cooperation with the PYD and its armed wing of Syrian Kurdish militia the People’s Protection Units (YPG).
Speaking about reports on Russian troops in Qamishli in a parliamentary session on Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Tuğrul Türkeş played down the nature of the development, saying that a small-scale Russian military presence near the Turkish border is not a significant threat to a NATO-member Turkey.
The deployment comes during a continuing row between Turkey and Russia after the Turkish air force shot down a Russian jet it claimed violated its airspace late last November.
Apart from reinforcing Bashar al-Assad’s regime with air strikes, Russia’s relationship with the YPG has also come under close scrutiny from Turkish authorities.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Davutoğlu said “terrorist groups” must not be represented at talks in Geneva, referring to the YPG, which Ankara views as a Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Turkey, the US and the EU have designated the PKK a terrorist organization. While Ankara sees no difference between the YPG and the PKK, Turkey’s NATO allies distinguish between them, treating the former as a reliable ally in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria.
Davutoğlu renewed his criticism of Russia, saying that it is complicating the fight against ISIL by targeting the moderate Syrian rebel groups.
Russia aims to strengthen position in Geneva talks
For Yaşar Yakış, a former foreign minister of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party, the deployment of Russian forces near the Turkish border is certainly bound to escalate the tension between the two countries and aims to strengthen Russia’s hand in the upcoming Geneva talks on Syria.
“Russia has significantly decreased Turkey’s maneuvering capability in Syria. This will continue,” he said, referring to Turkey’s downing of jet and Russia’s subsequent deployment of S-400 anti-aircraft missiles.
By closely engaging with Kurdish militia in the north near the Turkish border, Hüseyin Bağcı, a professor of international relations at Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ) and an expert on regional affairs, thinks that Russia’s latest move in Syria means that it is “here to stay.”
The former Turkish foreign minister said Russia and the US have mostly agreed on which factions in Syria are to be labeled as terrorist organizations and which are to be classified as moderate rebels.
“Turkey’s own classification greatly differs from the list Russia and the US are compiling,” he said, adding, “For example, Jabhat al-Nusra, a group that in the past Turkey is reported to have had dealings with, will most probably be classified as a terrorist group within Syria.”
There is nothing here that is “heard from secret source”.. other than a translation from Turkish press and some other reports we already knew about. I did not even notice much of a bias in this piece.. Other than what would it be biased about? We already know Russia would consider all foreign backed militants as terrorists. The compromise there would be with the US and hence why Russia is bashing in those the US could consider as opposition. The facts on the ground will speak.. The Jan meeting is already cancelled. There are no opposition representatives left who can talk. Did anyone miss the number of opposition terrorists who have been assassinated by unknown gunmen by the dozen in just the last month?
Every thing in this article is already confirmed.. Turkey has no say in Syria any longer..
Like I said long time ago….Capitalism in Crisis….
Who is more afraid of Trotsky, Russia or USA? I know many have read about him, but have they ever read HIS work?
RR
RR, I have in fact read some of Trotsky’s most outstanding political/ideological hallucinations. It’s plain to see that it is the Russians that should regard this darling of assorted Western ultra-super-duper-revolutionaries as total garbage, although fear would seem to be quite a bit over-dramatic:
Leon Trotsky
“On the Future of Hitler’s Armies”
Writings of Leon Trotsky (1939-40)
(NY: Merit Publishers, 1969), p. 113.
“Hitler’s soldiers are German workers and peasants.
. . .
The armies of occupation must live side by side with the conquered peoples; they must observe the impoverishment and despair of the toiling masses; they must observe the latter’s attempts at resistance and protest, at first muffled and then more and more open and bold.
. . .
The German soldiers, that is, the workers and peasants, will in the majority of cases have far more sympathy for the vanquished peoples than for their own ruling caste. The necessity to act at every step in the capacity of ‘pacifiers’ and oppressors will swiftly disintegrate the armies of occupation, infecting them with a revolutionary spirit.”
So there we have it. Prettifying the armed wing of Nazi Germany as a “proletarian” force is simply the quintessence of the Western supremacist and chauvinist, fiercely anti-Russian, side of classical Marxism. Trotskyists and neocons clearly share a firm commitment to ‘European values’, a buzzword for Zionism.
I think you are reading Trotsky wrong. He was incredibly naive about the capacity of the working class to act always in its own interests and to stand in solidarity with other workers of other countries. Nationalism of the German people overcame any smidgens of class consciousness. Trotsky was wrong about that clearly as I see workers in the USA vote against their own interests in every election. Neocons today do not quote Trotsky to justify their positions No one in the USA knows about Trotsky or cares one bit about the Stalin-Trotsky imbroglio. It seems only certain folk on this site claim this as so and conflate the two (neocons-Trotsky)for some strange reason which eludes me.
No, I’m not ‘reading Trotsky wrong’. The fact of the matter is that Trotskyism, “despite” all the hype and bravado it has in the West courtesy of the Liberal Imperialist Establishment, hasn’t achieved anything anywhere ever — it’s really Full Spectrum Impotence and consummate First World chauvinism. Especially with regard to Russia, Trotskyism is the irrefutable link between classical Western Marxism and Ziofascism/neoconservatism. Indeed, Stalin is to the Western left what Putin is to the Zionazis.
Stalin fairly well annihilated the Jewish control of the Bolshevik Party, and by extension their grip on the Soviet Union. Its why he’s so vilified and hated. Trotsky was rightly taken out. He was a traitor to his own country. We see the fruits of Trotsky’s ideology in the neoconservative movement and their extreme russophobia, along with their incessant quest for exportation of an ideology of world hegemony. Stalin put an end to all that garbage in the USSR. And rightly so. I know Stalin was no angel, but he was the man for the times, and for all his faults and the abuses of those under him, he got the job done in extremely difficult circumstances.
Did any of you ever watch the documentary by Juri Lina – In the Shadow of Hermes? If not, its really worthwhile as to me it gave a very clear picture of Trotsky — Definitely he was into the Bolsheviks — today known by another name. If you have not seen it, its well-researched and 1 hour and 59 mins goes too fast digesting all the information it presents — except for this documentary, I have not found any detailed information about Russian history anywhere else, not in English anyway. Russia has indeed suffered much — more than almost any other country on the planet.

London Talks Tough After Litvinenko Inquiry, Freezes Chief Suspects’ Assets
“UK Home Secretary Theresa May fired a verbal salvo at Moscow following the publication of a report that found that former Russian FSB secret service officer Alexander Litvinenko has been poisoned by Polonium-210 in London “probably” on the orders of President Putin.”
They maximised the propaganda value with lead-up articles by essentially having presstitutes speculate exactly the same conclusions before the report was released. To anyone with a brain the ‘show trial’ theatrics ought to be obvious.
Here’s a lead-up example from MI6’s British Bloviator Corp.:
“An Amnesty International report that accused Peshmerga forces of deliberately destroying Arab communities in areas under their control is a lie, Helgurt Hikmet, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Pershmerga in Iraqi Kurdistan, told Sputnik in an exclusive interview.”
The way the ZPC/NWO establishment is now using their “assets” so blatantly like this example using ai shows the extent of their desperation.
“Earlier this week, the Syrian army gained full control over two strategic mountaintops of the Turkmen mountains (Jabal Al-Turkmen), German newspaper Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (DWN) reported.
The radical Islamist group Al-Nusra Front and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) were completely defeated in this area, the newspaper wrote, citing the website Almasdarnews.
The victory is of great importance to reconquer the Free Syrian Army’s stronghold of Al-Rabi’yah located in the northern part of Latakia province. Moreover, recapturing the two mountaintops will help the Syrian army to completely seal off the border area with Turkey and fully cut off the terrorists from supplies.”

“Since when does CIA-Stratfor schmooze provide answers?”
Never mind “Stratfor”. Just observe: Turkey’s ground troops have already (!) crossed into Syria big way – and Russia did nothing.
Do you expect Russia to all of a sudden realise that it had somehow forgotten to react – and do it now? And do what? Attack (bomb?) these Turkish troops? Or … “impose economic sanctions” … (sounds familiar?)…
Could it possibly be that Erdogan gambled on this … and won?…
not sure how or if this relates from activistpost:
According to reports from a number of media outlets, most notably Al Jazeera and Foreign Policy, the United States has now taken control over the Rmeilan Airbase in Northeastern Syria, in the Hasakah Province.
The information was first reported after a Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesperson told Al Jazeera that U.S. troops have taken control of the airbase in order to “assist” the SDF in their “fight against ISIS.”
The Russians have moved troops (advisers) to the Kuweires Airbase east of Aleppo and south of where the Turks are looking to invaded Syria.The YPK (US backed) is now west of the Euphrates River which was Turkeys “Red Line”for the Kurds.
Since the realization by the West that Assad isn’t going anywhere because of Russia; is this now a start of the race to grab Syrian territory? Ash Carter has been beating the expand the war drum and there are more US troops heading to Iraq.
“On January 17 Syria sent an official message to the UN secretary-general and UN Security Council president containing evidence of Turkey’s gross violations of Syria’s sovereignty,” Zakharova said. “Turkish troops have repeatedly intruded into Syria’s border areas.” Zakharova also said Russia is calling on Turkey to stop the “extermination” of civilians in the country’s Kurdish-populated regions. “We demand an immediate end to extermination of peaceful civilians in the Kurdish-populated regions of the country. A curfew should be lifted and access should be provided to foreign observers,” Zakharova said.
“On January 11, 2016, more than a thousand academics from about 90 institutions of high learning from Turkey and foreign countries signed a declaration titled “We Will Not Be Accomplices to This Crime,” Zakharova went on to say. “We cannot but support the calls to the Turkish authorities, contained in this document, to stop the extermination of the local population and the intentional policy of resettling the Kurds; lift a curfew, find and punish people guilty of violating the rights of peaceful civilians and provide access to local and foreign observers,” the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said. Zakharova also criticized the Turkish authorities who accused the academics of complicity to terrorism for waging a “war on dissent”. Some of those who had signed the declaration were later taken into custody.

Looks like the Russian Marines have entered Kuweires Military Airport after all. Less than 50 operating there:
The first batch of Russian Marines have arrived to the Kuweires Military Airport as part of an advisory unit that is meant to overlook the Syrian Arab Army’s military operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in the Aleppo Governorate’s eastern countryside.
According to a field source with the Tiger Forces in the Al-Bab Plateau, a little less than 50 Russian Marines were deployed to the Kuweires Military Airport on Thursday morning after a short stint in the Latakia Governorate that included trying and advising the new recruits from the National Defense Forces (NDF).
Al-Masdar military analysts believe that the Russian Marines have deployed to the east Aleppo front in order to eventually meet-up with the U.S. backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) and the predominately Kurdish “People’s Protection Units” (YPG) that are combating ISIS near the strategic city of Menbeij.
The Russian Marines have spent the majority of their time advising the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade of the Republican Guard in northern Latakia; however, it appears that the Russian Ministry of Defense has other plans in northern Syria.
Russian Foreign Ministry: Islamist reinforcements came from Turkey
“Unfortunately, in recent days, it’s especially noticeable that ahead of the planned start of the inter-Syrian negotiations in Geneva the activities of terrorist groups have intensified. Obviously, they’re trying to turn the tide in their favor on the battlefield,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing in Moscow.
If Erdogan takes the risky step of sending in regular Turkish troops into Syria, with or without NATO support, I think it will provide Russia with a golden opportunity of creating a bloodbath for them via proxies (mainly Kurds)
There have been extensive rumors of such Turkish invasion for months now, but nothing seems to come of it. Let’s see if they dare this time, and how Russia will react to such an eventuality.

Looks like the Russian Marines have entered Kuweires Military Airport after all. Less than 50 operating there:
The first batch of Russian Marines have arrived to the Kuweires Military Airport as part of an advisory unit that is meant to overlook the Syrian Arab Army’s military operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in the Aleppo Governorate’s eastern countryside.
According to a field source with the Tiger Forces in the Al-Bab Plateau, a little less than 50 Russian Marines were deployed to the Kuweires Military Airport on Thursday morning after a short stint in the Latakia Governorate that included trying and advising the new recruits from the National Defense Forces (NDF).
Al-Masdar military analysts believe that the Russian Marines have deployed to the east Aleppo front in order to eventually meet-up with the U.S. backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) and the predominately Kurdish “People’s Protection Units” (YPG) that are combating ISIS near the strategic city of Menbeij.
The Russian Marines have spent the majority of their time advising the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade of the Republican Guard in northern Latakia; however, it appears that the Russian Ministry of Defense has other plans in northern Syria.

Russian Foreign Ministry: Islamist reinforcements came from Turkey
“Unfortunately, in recent days, it’s especially noticeable that ahead of the planned start of the inter-Syrian negotiations in Geneva the activities of terrorist groups have intensified. Obviously, they’re trying to turn the tide in their favor on the battlefield,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing in Moscow.

If Erdogan takes the risky step of sending in regular Turkish troops into Syria, with or without NATO support, I think it will provide Russia with a golden opportunity of creating a bloodbath for them via proxies (mainly Kurds)
There have been extensive rumors of such Turkish invasion for months now, but nothing seems to come of it. Let’s see if they dare this time, and how Russia will react to such an eventuality.
