PUTIN FURIOUS at Turkey Sending ..."Little Green Men"... into Syria Instead of Regular Troops HA!

[Jonathan]

And Putin Demands UN action...Double HA!

It appears the Saudi's 150,000 mass troops and
Turkey's talk of openly invading is your classic
diversionary tactic. And the real tactic is for
Turkey and Saudi to send in special forces only
along with rebel fighters, mercenaries etc.

Meanwhile Turkey continues shelling Syria from
Turkish territory for the fourth day in a row
keeping that border area open to allow freshly
armed rebels (little green men) to freely enter
Syria.

Just like in E Ukraine~

Thanks Putin for showing the world how to invade
a nation without really invading it.

What just desert it will be if this tactic ends up
undoing Assad and Putin once and for all. And from
the intense rhetoric coming from Turkey and Saudi
Arabia lately, I think it'll succeed.

Assad's army is already spent, the Iranian troops
are still taking huge casualties and are half spent.
Fresh rebel troops armed with modern weapons and
special forces support is going to be a chore
for them to handle.

Troops, what troops? Those are vacationers
Putin~




Tensions between Russia and Turkey reach new peak
By FT correspondents


Tension between Russia and Turkey has reached a new peak as the two
countries step up military action in Syria in support of opposing sides,
edging closer to direct confrontation in the country’s increasingly
internationalised war.

The growing rift between the two countries — with each now attacking
rebels the other supports — has alarmed Western diplomats amid fears
Russia is seeking to undermine Nato by ramping up its clash with Ankara.

“It seems to us that just like in the Baltics, Russia wants to try and
push at Nato’s ability to stand behind all its members,” said a Nato
official. A senior European official said Russian President Vladimir
Putin was seeking to destabilise Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his Turkish
opposite number.

“Putin is furious with Turkey” said the European official. “The
situation is really incredibly serious.”

The latest rise in tension revolves around Kurdish fighters in Syria,
who are backed by both Moscow and the US and other western countries but
whom Ankara views as antagonists.

Moscow’s strikes against anti-Assad rebels in Syria’s northern Aleppo
province have created an atmosphere of chaos that has been exploited by
the Syrian Kurdish militia, known as the YPG, which has seized towns
held by rebels backed by Turkey and the Gulf states.

In turn, Turkey began shelling the Kurdish fighters at the weekend,
after they advanced on the Turkish border, despite warnings from Ankara
to stay put. The Turkish military continued the attack on Monday,
despite furious denunciations by Moscow, which called for UN
condemnation of the attacks.

The Russian foreign ministry said Turkey’s actions had hit Syrian towns
“recently liberated from the terrorists” by the Syrian army and Kurdish
fighters, and had “killed and wounded many in the civilian population,
destroyed infrastructure and residential buildings”.

Russia, which was itself accused on Monday of striking three hospitals
in northern Syria, is keen to throw the spotlight on Ankara and
highlight the divide between Turkey and its Nato partners.

Ankara denounces the YPG militants as an affiliate of Turkey’s own
outlawed Kurdistan Workers party, which it has been fighting for three
decades. It also sees the Kurdish fighters as bitter rivals of the Arab
Sunni rebels Turkey favours in the Syrian conflict.

But the US prizes the YPG as the most successful Syrian groundforces
against Isis, the extremist jihadi group.

Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkish prime minister, accused the YPG on Monday of
being “Russia’s instrument in Syria”, threatening further attacks on the
Kurdish fighters.

He said that Turkey would attack the Menagh air base north of Aleppo if
Syrian Kurds did not withdraw from it and vowed to protect the Syrian
border town of Azaz from the Kurdish forces.

Moscow also accused Ankara of allowing fighters to cross the border into
Syria to join Isis and groups affiliated with al-Qaeda while also
permitting wounded jihadist fighters to return to Turkey.
Turkey has consistently denied all such charges.

Syria crisis


“Russia supports presenting this question in the UN Security Council to
let the UNSC give a clear assessment of Ankara’s provocative line, which
poses a threat to the world and to regional security in the Middle East
and beyond,” the Russian foreign ministry said.

Russia’s entry into the Syrian conflict in September has led Moscow and
Ankara into a strategic rivalry.

Russian military aircraft active in Syria have repeatedly violated
Turkish airspace. Since the Turkish military shot down a Russian jet on
the border with Syria in November, Moscow and Ankara have been in an
angry stand-off.

Moscow’s criticism of the Turkish shelling in northern Syria comes as
opposition groups and western leaders are urging Russia to stop the air
campaign around Aleppo that has turned the military situation in favour
of government troops and claimed large numbers of civilian casualties.
Despite an agreement that a ceasefire should start later this week which
requires all conflict parties to scale down fighting, the Russian air
strikes have shown no sign of abating.

The Russian government claimed on Monday that its Aleppo campaign was
not subject to the ceasefire. “We fight against terrorist groups — Isis,
Jabhat al-Nusra and others connected with al-Qaeda. Strikes on objects
of terrorist groups will continue in any case, even if we succeed in
agreeing on a ceasefire in Syria,” deputy foreign minister Gennady
Gatilov told German magazine Der Spiegel.


Rebels/The FSA

There are hundreds of rebel groups across Syria that emerged when the
2011 protests against Bashar al-Assad transformed into armed revolt.
Many forces call themselves part of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), a
catch-all umbrella term for groups that are non-Islamist. Many other
rebel groups became Islamist as Islamist forces began to take hold in
the uprising.

Jabhat al-Nusra

As al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, this group is a radical jihadi force
that has a stronghold in the country’s northwestern province of Idlib,
but it has pockets of territory across the country. It often aligns with
other rebel groups, whether they are Islamist or not.
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis)

This jihadi force claims to be building a caliphate, and since it
captured Iraq’s second city of Mosul it has seized territory across
about a half of Syria and a quarter of Iraq. The group used to focus its
military activities on territorial expansion but has begun launching
attacks abroad against western targets to challenge a US-led
international campaign against its territory.

YPG/YPJ

The People’s Defence Units are usually known by their Kurdish acronym
YPG for its male battalions and YPJ for female battalions. They are the
most powerful Syrian Kurdish militia in Syria, controlling large chunks
of territory which they aim to shape into an autonomous region along
Syria’s northern border. They claim they do not want to secede from
Syria, however. The group claims to have 50,000 fighters.

Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)

This is an alliance formed with US backing to fight Isis. Some estimates
say the group has over 50,000 fighters, but only a fraction of these
come from Syria’s rebel groups, which are majority Sunni Arab. The group
has launched a series of successful campaigns to take back territory
from Isis under US-led coalition air cover.
