Dear All,
The article below is regarding the Countries of Russia and Turkey and was published on March 04, 2014. It is a warning to readers from across the world providing some insight into the perils of a likely regional war caused by the dangerous and reckless President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

| US Senator Dianne Feinstein |
The senators comment comes after Russia has already forcefully and
militarily annexed Turkey’s neighbor just across the Black Sea, the “Crimea”, and
then after a Russian missile shot down a plane carrying innocent civilians
[Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17] killing all 298 passengers [men, women, young
children, and babies] and crew, as Russia stubbornly continues to pursue its conflict with the Country
of the Ukraine in their desire to annex the area called the “Eastern Ukraine”.
The Russian missile was fired from just inside Ukraine, adjacent to their border with Russia and in territory occupied and controlled by the Russians and their surrogates.
The Russian missile was fired from just inside Ukraine, adjacent to their border with Russia and in territory occupied and controlled by the Russians and their surrogates.
The Nation of Turkey is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) and also a neighbor in the Geopolitical region of the Ukraine and Russia
(which also includes the Country of Georgia that Putin militarily invaded in 2008 during the George W. Bush presidency).
As such, Turkey is keenly aware and extremely concerned about Russia’s military adventurism
in the region; as you will read in the article below.
Also, Turkey and Russia have historically been ardent enemies meaning that Russia
can probably count on Turkey to aid and abet disaffected Crimean’s and
Ukrainians [read article below];
supplying arms and training them in the art of Guerilla Warfare Tactics for the purpose
of terrorizing the Russians into leaving the Crimea and
returning it back to it's rightful place in the Ukraine (in the same manner Russia’s military was humiliated and
defeated during the Afghanistan gorilla conflict).
Should political and military events in this region continue to deteriorate
and escalate out of control, Turkey could very well become a unwitting
participant, which makes it worrisome for Europe, the United States, and Members
of the NATO Alliance; as this “will” then drag NATO into the fiasco, resulting
in a much wider and dangerous world conflict. Also, people should be aware that the United States has a
huge military presence in Turkey; the Incirlik US Air Base.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is seriously flirting with disaster (just like this
tragic airplane disaster) in the Ukraine and is continuing to destabilize many
other nations in the region which in the short and long run will most likely have a very
negative effect on Russia and her countrymen......(the Citizens of Russia should
think long and hard about the path Putin is taking them down............it would be well for them to remember their past history and the unspeakable carnage that war reeked on their
homeland).
It is time for the Citizens of Russia to bring pressure on their “Dictator”
and demand that Putin immediately stop what he is doing, and instead join the
rest of the worlds civilized nations; they still have time to choose peace, prosperity, milk, and honey for their
country instead of misery, death, and destruction.
Unfortunately, US Senator Dianne Feinstein is correct, the US (and
civilized world) are once again in a “Cold War” with Russia – Gratis of the reckless and feckless leadership of Russian
President ( and Dictator) Vladimir Putin.

Russian warships pass through Istanbul’s Bosphorus
sea, Turkey intercepts Russian jets
Related links: UPDATED: Russian Warship Movements Through Turkish
Straits
Two Russian warships on
their way to the Black Sea have passed through Istanbul’s Bosphorus staits.
Russia’s ‘Saratov’ and
‘Yamal’ ships sailed unaccompanied through the Marmara Sea before entering the
Bosphorus straits at 07:30 local time (05:30 GMT).
The two ships, which were
usually based in the eastern Mediterranean to monitor developments in Syria, are
now on their way to Crimea due to the latest situation
there.
At the same time a
Ukrainian ship called ‘Hetman Sahaidachny’ entered the straits at Canakkale
(Gallipoli) on its way to the Marmara Sea.
Thousands of Russian
troops have been deployed to the Crimea, an autonomous region of Ukraine, after
Russia’s Parliament passed a motion on Saturday.
Due to prior agreements,
the Bosphorus straits are recognized as international waters despite cutting
through the middle of Turkey’s most populated city,
Istanbul.
The Bosphorus is a key
strategic passage between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean
Sea.
Turkish F-16s intercept
Russian jet
Eight
Turkish F-16 fighter jets intercepted a Russian reconnaissance plane that had
flown parallel to Turkish coast in international airspace on
Tuesday.
Turkey’s General Staff said on its website that an
IL-20-type reconnaissance jet had flown parallel to Turkey’s Black Sea coast in
international airspace.
The Turkish Air Force responded by sending eight F-16
fighter jets to intercept it, the statement said.
Turkish FM: We will always stand by Crimean
Tatars
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on
Monday that Turkey will always
stand by the Crimean Tatars, as he met with nearly 50 representatives of Crimean
Associations.
Turkey supports and encourages the return of Tatars in
their homeland Davutogllu said, adding that the current Turkish President and
Prime Minister are saying that do not even think that we can stay indifferent
to any matter related to our compatriots in Crimea or anywhere in the
world.
“Wherever our brothers and sisters are
suffering we will be the first to help them,” Davutoglu
said.
The Crimean Tatars fear exile again if the Crimea
region of Ukraine is going to stay occupied by Russia.
The 280,000 Crimean Tatars living in the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea constitute close to 13 percent of the total population,
according to Turkey’s Foreign Ministry.
Muslim minority Tatars are manning the streets and
mosques as they fear a repeat of the exile they faced in 1944 under Stalin,
which saw them scattered in labor camps across the barren steppes of Central
Asia.
Turkish Deputy PM:
Stability in Ukraine important for Turkey
Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Emrullah Isler said on
Monday that Turkey respects Ukraine’s territorial integreity and
stability.
Isler spoke at a visit to the Ankara Organized
Industrial Region for local election campaigns.
“Ukraine’s territorial integrity, stability and
prosperity are crucial for Turkey’s foreign policy,’’ Isler
said.
”Ukraine’s political stability is very important for
the other eastern European countries because they face the risk of separation
due to ongoing political turmoil.”
He also emphasized that Crimea is part of Ukraine’s
territory and said consensus could help solve the
problems.
