We all know that last week Turkey decided it would be a good idea to shoot down a Russian warplane. The pilots parachuted and then one of them was subsequently killed by al-Qaeda. Now Turkey is a member of NATO – and them makes them intimate allies of the United States. And that’s a big problem – because just about nobody believes that Turkey would do that without the permission of the US. So the question surfaces is: Is the US trying to pick a fight with Russia? And the follow-up question is: How stupid is that? This situation is quickly heating up. The Turkish Prime Minister has admitted ordering the shoot down. So Russia bombs a Turkish convoy…..carrying ISIS oil. Because the Turks have been protecting ISIS in exchange for Syrian oil that ISIS has captured. And the US is using ISIS to try and bring down Assad. That’s not because we are just great humanitarians. That struggle is all about oil. Syria is the key to the location of competing oil pipelines between the US and its allies on the one hand and the Russians on the other. So now Turkey is calling the Russian attack on the convoy an “Act of War.”[i] [ii] Is America gearing up to go to war with Russia to defend ISIS? Yeah, this is crazy! So crazy that France, an ally of the US is courting Russia to build a coalition against ISIS.
