[Update-2] The Red Line and the Rat Line

Seymour M. Hersh on Obama, Erdoğan and the Syrian rebels

will expand later …

A live event I watched with astonishment on AL Jazeera. I didn’t take more than 5 minutes of his speech to understand Erdogan was delivering a major speech. Using all false rhetoric of arrogance, fascism and the distortion of facts. Using the label “terror” very similar to and copying George Bush and Binyamin Netanyahu before him.

I must wait for the video or transcript, will publish as soon as available.

A few remarks from memory:

  • artificial borders have been drawn by colonial rulers
  • root cause of suffering along 900 mile border of Turkey with Syria
  • a hundred NGOs are operating inside Turkey with a foreign agenda
  • all one and the same criminal group: YPG, Assad and IS committing crimes against humanity
  • don’t be misled by mass murderer Assad responsible for deaths of 380,000 Syrians
  • Assad leads an illigitimate terrorist regime
  • many of our countrymen, Turkmen are suffering due to heavy bombardment
  • what gives a foreign power the right to establish itself in Syria
  • these powers are thousands of miles separated from Syria
  • Turkey shares a long border, splitting families and relatives
  • Turkmen have decide to wage battle and die as a martyr, not seeking refuge in Turkey
  • Turkmen share the same of our moral values

[Update] No Excuses from Erdogan, A Stern Warning to Russia

Turkish President Erdoğan warns Russia ‘not to play with fire’

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has warned Russia “not to play with fire” in the wake of a crisis between Ankara and Moscow following the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey on Nov. 24 near the Syrian border.

“[Russian President Vladimir] Putin says ‘those who have double standards on terrorism are playing with fire.’ I totally agree with him,” Erdoğan said Nov. 27 in the northern province of Bayburt.

    “Indeed, supporting the [Bashar] al-Assad regime in Syria, which has killed 380,000 people, is playing with fire.
    Striking opposition groups that have international legitimacy with the excuse of fighting against Daesh [an acronym of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIL] is playing with fire.
    Using an incident in which Turkey’s righteousness is accepted by the whole world as an excuse to torment our citizens who were in Russia to attend a fair is playing with fire.
    Irresponsibly hitting trucks in the region that are there for trade or humanitarian reasons is playing with fire.
    We sincerely advise Russia not to play with fire.”

Erdoğan also expressed his willingness to meet Putin during the upcoming climate change summit in Paris in order to find common ground and avoid a further escalation of tension.

“We are uncomfortable with efforts to take the dispute over the downed jet into other areas of relations. Let’s not allow that to happen,” he said, underlining that maintaining good relations was beneficial for both countries.

○ Putin approves economic sanctions against Turkey

Claiming that Turkey’s shooting down of the Russian jet was not “intentional” but simply a result of an automatic enforcement of rules of engagement, Erdoğan nevertheless argued that Turkey was right to do so.

“Turkey has proved its honesty” by releasing audio recordings of the warnings issued to the Russian pilots, he added.

Erdoğan also touched on the joint press conference held by Putin and French President François Hollande on Nov. 26, describing the former’s comments as “unacceptable.” Denying allegations that Turkey has been purchasing oil from ISIL, Erdoğan said the oil trade between ISIL, Russia and the Syrian regime had been documented by the United States.

Quite irritating, former US Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker arguing in support of Turkey in a panel discussion/debate on France24. Had to see with what other purpose this useful idiot was putting forth this view from the US. Apparently, Volker has found a new purpose in life outside of NATO as leader of a John McCain “think-tank”.
