It’s what I said at the start… that with Russia now firmly positioned as Turkey’s neighbor we can expect some interesting confrontations.

The Turkish government can make whatever announcements of grandeur they want for domestic consumption but the reality is that they are no military match for Russia.

I foresee Russian jets violating Turkish airspace many times in the coming weeks/months and I don’t ever expect the Turks to react other than bark from a distance… unless of course Erdogan is dumber than we know and opts for an early grave.

Maritime wise… I expect similar incidents to happen as the Syrian port that hosts the Russians will get ever-busier. I think the days when Turkey could send its fishing trawler and supporting navy off the coast of Ayia Napa are over as Russian maritime radar now extends all the way to Cyprus’ beaches and beyond.

Going back to the Syrian question, if the US foolishly chooses to continue funding and supporting terrorism and Turkey conspires with them again via their borders, then Russia has every right to turn Turkey into glass.

Putin will have to make some hard decisions so Turkey would be well advised to go by Russia’s rules here or she could end up being regional collateral damage. Not that anyone in the ME would complain of such an eventuality!

Those who think that NATO membership guarantees Turkey’s safety from Russia will unpleasantly discover that NATO membership means fuck-all to Vladimir Putin when Putin’s ME plans are compromised and he knows that the West will NEVER come to the aid of a Muslim country confronting Russia and risking WWIII.

Erdogan, should henceforth tread VERY carefully because he has invited the bear to move in with him and there's no going back now…

Happy times ahead for Cyprus.

Well then, just keep violating Turkish Airspace and why not even attack the Turkish Military to send a message. See what happens then!

Oh and better still, get in the way of the IAF (which will destroy the Russians alone) and see what happens.

All talk but no action.

I’m sure Turkey is very grateful that you’re so passionate about protecting them from “evil Russia” but even Turks must be having a good laugh at how a alleged “Cypriot” just can’t bear to see Turkey go down!

The FSA Liberation Movement declares war on Russia

They'd better hurry because there aren't many left...

Why the hurry?

Russia has got itself in a right royal quagmire. The FSA has years in front of them and so does Putin.

Oh please! Russia and Turkey are sucking each other off.

If Erdogan doesn't get his blow job from Putin all he has to do is close the Dardanelles and then it's all over!

By all means, destroy Turkey's military capability but we all know that is unrealistic and that Putin wouldn't even consider it.

The FSA Liberation Movement declares war on Russia

In fact, 41 different warring and squabbling anti-Assad factions, both secular and Islamist, have come together and declared a common purpose to fight the Russian invader (as they see things). An interesting development, because all these factions have spent as much time and energy fighting one another as the Assad regime. I really wonder if Daesh is among those 41 and strongly doubt it. I also wonder if we will see any acts of Daesh-sponsored terror in Russia or directed against Russians and Russian interests abroad, now that Russia has become an aggressor (in their eyes, and if they really are what they claim to be). If not, this will be further circumstantial evidence for my thesis that Daesh is actually controlled by the Ba'ath party.

I wonder too, but the reality is that some of the 41 factions are considered by some to be 'moderate' and even secular. In other words, they are supported by ordinary Syrians who for a variety of reasons want to see the end of Assad. FSA is being held up as the most moderate and secular of all. They couldn't possibly align themselves with DAESH if they are secular.

DAESH also considers them blasphemous and at least to this day has fought them tooth and nail. I would be surprised if that changes considering that their position is based on their interpretation, as false as it may seem, of Islam.

But it would not surprise me if most rebel groups unite.

Russia just complicated matters even more than they already were.

An interesting comment from the voice of the long-suffering oppressed people of Raqqa, the website ‘Raqqa is being slaughtered silently’:

... while there is a state of confusion in the ranks of ISIS , where a lot of them started to talk about their intention about leaving ISIS and going to Alnosra forehead to fight the Russians , who are considered the first enemy even before the united states, especially the Immigrants from Russian assets and countries formerly were belonging to the Soviet Union.

Some so-called jihadists in Daesh ranks thinking of moving to Al-Nusra so they can fight the Russians? Does this mean they think Daesh will not fight the Russians, and if so why not? Perhaps because it has been a front for Assad all along.

In a world first Russia 24 TV channel introduces “Bombcasts” which akin to weather-casts are intended to inform viewers with cheery weather forecasts for its fighter jets bombing terrorists Syria...

Don’t tax your brain too much Tim because in 1-2 weeks they’ll all be united as one somewhere up in the heavens… it's their destiny to be united.

I guess we could call Putin the great "unifier" of terrorists as he ensures they amalgamate before God.
