War

NATO member Turkey shoots down Russian jet near Syrian border. Yikes. Extremely disturbing is an understatement.

"President Vladimir Putin appeared on Russian television shortly after the plane went down and was clearly furious, denouncing a “stab in the back by the terrorists’ accomplices” and warning that there would be “severe consequences.”"

Accurate and scary.

"Then there is the problem with where the plane actually came down. Admittedly the aircraft would not necessarily plummet straight down to mark the spot where it was hit, but the remains appear to have wound up comfortably inside Syria. A video of the plane’s downing also seems to show it being hit and then going directly down." 

This stinks.

"Why a relatively minor incursion, if it indeed took place, would warrant a shoot down has to be questioned unless it was actually a Turkish plan to engage a Russian plane as soon as it could be plausibly claimed that there had been a violation of airspace. Why would the Turks do that? Because Russia is supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, apparently with considerable success, and Turkey has been extremely persistent in their demands that he be removed."

Turkey's rulers want to drag us into a war with Russia.

More.

"So here we have it: US-backed jihadists, including al-Qaeda, are using weapons supplied by Washington to fight the Russians and the Syrian government. A cozy arrangement, indeed." 

Nuts.

Claim there's no such thing as ISIS.  US rulers always want to centralize everything. This is like the kingpin myth in drone warfare and the war on drugs.

The CIA created the modern jihad movement to oust the Soviets from Afghanistan.

Washington is behind the wars in the Middle East.

Contrary to claim, Snowden isn't responsible for Paris attacks.
