Turkey Declares war on Russia on Syrian Territory

Fadi Boudieh

Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken the [firm] decision to eliminate terrorism in Iraq and Syria in order to protect Russia's interior, and to protect its interests with its allies.

Since the beginning of Russian military operations in Syria, the battle equations have changed, whereby [the operations] have been able to disable the movement of Daesh and its terrorist sister [groups], as well as prevent them from making any progress on the active fighting fronts.

Daesh has downed the civilian Russian plane by placing a bomb in the aircraft engine, as Putin vows to pursue the terrorists and pay them back, [with the aim of] eliminating them once and for all.

At the G20 summit the Russian President came out to put world leaders before their responsibilities, naming a spade a spade: "There are states, some of which are present amongst us at this summit, that support and finance Daesh, and they benefit from it via oil trade, and Russian satellite pictures have documented all of this."

President Putin [went on to] meet the highest authority in Iran, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, in a meeting that lasted about two hours, to come out after it and stress on the need to avoid succumbing to the dictates of the West, and to not allow the United States to obtain through politics what it failed to achieve on the battlefield.

Turkey set up an ambush which may be the declaration of war with Russian fighter jets, in a pre-planned scenario that downed a Russian "Su-24" fighter jet, which was in Syrian airspace at an altitude of six thousand meters, and one kilometer away from the Turkish border, meaning that the Russian military aircraft did not violate Turkish airspace.

According to [the available] information, the Russian Su-24 fighter jet was bombing oil tankers smuggling [oil] from Daesh to Turkey, in order to cut off funding sources and secure the border to prevent the flow of terrorists from Turkey. However, Turkey felt that Russia is now threatening its financial interests with Daesh, in relation to the stealing of Syrian oil, so it sent "F-16" fighters and set up an ambush for the Russian fighter, until it was hit by a "air-to-air" missile within Syrian territory.

Turkey rushed to request NATO hold an extraordinary meeting, which was considered by President Putin - based on the popular proverb "he hit me then cried, and beat me first to complain" - by saying: "We thought that we ourselves downed a Turkish plane".

President Putin said that this incident will have serious consequences for Russian-Turkish relations, and that the downing of the Russian fighter is a stab in the back by accomplices of terrorists, and this statement means that President Putin considers Turkey one of the states that supports, finances, and is friendly to Daesh and its allies.

As for the messages that Turkey sought to direct to Russia, they are diverse, and all are in line with the basis of the US-Zionist will:

First: Turkey wanted to say to Russia that it aggravated it by hitting its oil tankers, which hold oil stolen by Daesh from Syrian fields in Raqqa and Deir al-Zour.

Second: Turkey wanted to express its great annoyance towards the growing Russian-Iranian ties that would crush the Turkish role in the region, especially since the downing of the Russian fighter came in conjunction with a meeting between the Russian president and the Supreme Leader of the Iranian revolution.

Third: Turkey, along with its allies Saudi Arabia and the Zionist entity, as well as Qatar and led by the United States, have reminded Russia that it is not alone in Syria, that rather, there are forces that must be taken into account if it is to succeed in its mission.

Fourth: Turkey decided to infuriate Russia in a move tantamount to igniting a war between Turkey and Russia, as the latter is close to paralysing the movement of Daesh, which will adversely affect Turkish influence in the region.

Turkey has opened a new window of the conflict with Russia on Syrian territory, and it strongly anticipates the Russian response that it will receive. Turkey is obviously aware that Russia will not remain silent to any compromise of its power and prestige...Turkey's play with fire will burn its political and economic structure, entirely expending [its ability to engage] in the power play of the region...

Nothing will discourage Russia in continuing to work for the elimination of terrorism in Syria and Iraq, even if Turkey and NATO all came together...read the history well!!
