A chilling and foreboding Ministry of Defense (MoD) “urgent action” report sent out in the past hour to Russian commanders operating in the Levant War Zone states that the Federation and the United States have reached anhistoric agreement to coordinate their military forces in closing, forever, a 98 kilometer (61 miles) section of the border between Syria and Turkey called the “Gap of the Apocalypse” which Prime Minister Medvedev has warned if it is not closed off will unleash World War III.
According to this report, this “Gap of the Apocalypse” along the Turkish-Syrian border is the most dangerous area in this conflict zone as it has for years provided the “outside world” access for arming and supplying Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) and al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front (JaN) terrorists by their main sponsors Turkey and Saudi Arabia—and who instead of achieving their goal of toppling the Syrian regime to destroy the Kurdish and Christian peoples have brought the world the brink of the abyss.
Upon the Obama regime witnessing for itself the full horror unleashed upon the Levant by these Islamic terrorists, this report continues, it has been furiously trying to extricate itself (politically and militarily) from the nightmare it had helped to create—which culminated this week with the first combined action of Federation and United States military forces aiding Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and their Arab allies in retaking Syria’s Menagh Military Airbase from Islamic terrorist forces, and who are now best positioned to close the “Gap of the Apocalypse” and retake the Syrian-Turkish border entirely.
Being led on the ground by US Special Forces troops, and being protected from the air by Russian aircraft strategic bombings, this report notes, Kurdish YPG fighters were able to complete their victory in spite of the threat issued by Turkish President Recep Erdogan last month warning that he would not allow these Kurds to occupy land west of the Euphrates River, where this airbase is located, and close off this gap.
Not just in aiding Kurdish YPG forces to retake Menagh Airbase, this report further notes, the Federation and United States militaries further cooperated this past week when Russian commanders allowed the US Air Force to bomb the soon to be liberated city of Aleppo—which Turkey’s government then threatened to invade to protect their terrorist “brothers”.
Foreign Minister Lavrov in countering Turkey’s threat to invade Syria, this report continues, stated that the US-led coalition will not allow “such reckless plans” to materialize—but which then was equally countered by Saudi Arabia who said that their plans to invade Syria were “final” and “irreversible”.
Upon hearing Saudi Arabia’s threat to invade Syria, this report grimly says, Prime Minister Medvedev then, in turn, threatened them with World War III should they do so and stated:
“All sides must be compelled to sit at the negotiating table, instead of unleashing yet another war on Earth. Any kinds of land operations, as a rule, lead to a permanent war. Look at what’s happened in Afghanistan and a number of other countries. I am not even going to bring up poor Libya.
The Americans and our Arab partners must think well: do they want a permanent war? Do they think they can really quickly win it? It is impossible, especially in the Arab world? Everyone is fighting against everyone there.”
In knowing how close World War III was to becoming a reality, this report continues, Foreign Minister Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry then hastily created the historic agreement to bring to peace to Syria.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, this report notes, stated that the projected date for ending at least some of the airstrikes in Syria is a week from today–but he emphasized that “terrorist” groups would continue to be targeted,including the Islamic State and al-Nusra, and that the determination of eligible targets and geographic areas is to be left up to a task force of nations, headed by Russia and the United States, that will adjudicate differences of opinion.
With Turkey being “left in the cold” due to this historic agreement, this report continues, the Federation will further demand of the Obama regime that it immediately cease allowing Turkish airstrikes against the very Kurdish fighters US Special Forces are training and fighting with—an insane policy Russia could never fully understand in the first place.
And as to how both Turkey and Saudi Arabia will react to the Federation and the United States now combining their military might to bring peace into this region, this report concludes, may not be the greatest danger facing this historic agreement—but rather the “political madness” in America may be its undoing, especially after Admiral Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, announced earlier today that his nation hadbeen approached by representatives of America’s Republican Party seeking a secret deal to stop the recently completed prisoner swap in order to affect their nations presidential race.

A stunning confidential Ministry of Defense (MoD) report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared for the Security Council (SC) states that the United States, yesterday, requested Federation Aerospace Forces (AF) “combat access” flight permission over the Syrian city of Aleppo in the Levant War Zone—and which after it was granted then saw US Air Force fighter bombers enter into this region and completely obliterate at least 7 command and control centers being operated by Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) in support of al-Nusra Front (JaN) terrorists who had already been abandoned by the Obama regime.
According to this report, US combat flights over the northeastern regions of Syria, where Aleppo is located, were grounded last year after Aerospace Forces defenses were greatly enhanced after Turkey’s unprovoked downing of a Federation warplane on 24 November 2015, which President Putin himself called a “stab in the back”.
On 14 January, this report continues, it was the Americans turn to be subjected to Turkey’s back stabbing treachery when a Turkish air force plane shot down 2 US Marine helicopters killing all 12 soldiers aboard who were on a mission to resupply their Special Forces advisors aiding Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) terrorists—and which we previously reported on in our article Turkish Downing Of US Marine Helicopters Killing 12 American Soldiers Stuns Russia.
Though the Obama regime has kept hidden from its citizens Turkey’s deliberate murdering of these 12 US Marine heroes, this report notes, yesterday’s events prove that it wasn’t being forgotten—and which began when Russian commanders contacted the US Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar as to the intentions of two US Air Force A-10 “Warthog” fighter bombers that had taken off from their Incirlik Air Base (IAB) in Turkey and were flying in a holding pattern just north of the Syrian border.
Upon being advised by the CAOC of the “revenge mission” these A-10 fighter bombers were tasked to perform, this report continues, Russian commanders then requested a pubic statement be made by the Obama regime stating that no Aerospace Forces personal, equipment or aircraft would be the target (either intended or unintended) of the Americans—and which within 20 minutes was complied with when US Army Colonel Steve Warren, a spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF–OIR), in Baghdad, Iraq, stated that the US military has no current plans to intervene against the Syrian regime and Russian assault on Aleppo or provide air drops to the starving civilians and that “the situation in and around Aleppo has, in our view, become dire” but “our focus really is to defeat ISIL, so that’s where our focus remains.”
Immediately upon Russian commanders receiving this public statement of “intention of non-aggression” against Federation forces from the Obama regime, this report says, permission was granted for these two US Air Force A-10 warplanes to enter into Syria, overfly Aleppo, and make complete their “revenge” combat mission against Turkey.
Most outlandishly, this report shockingly details, immediately after these US Air Force A-10 warplanes completed their “revenge” mission and returned to Turkish airspace, US Army Colonel Warren in Baghdad then “blatantly lied” when he released a statement saying Aerospace Forces had just bombed two hospitals in Aleppo—which then caused Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov to retaliate against by stating that “Yesterday, at 13:55 Moscow time (10:55 GMT), two American A-10 assault aircraft entered Syrian airspace from Turkey, flew right to the city of Aleppo and bombed targets there.”
MoD spokesman Konashenkov further pointed out that Colonel Warren forgot to mention either hospitals’ coordinates, or the time of the airstrikes, or sources of information, “absolutely nothing”.
The true facts though, this report notes, Konashenkov gave by stating: “No Russian warplanes carried out airstrikes in Aleppo city area yesterday. The nearest target engaged was over 20km away from the city” and he, also, openly stated to the international press corps: “I’m going to be honest with you: we did not have enough time to clarify what exactly those nine objects bombed out by US planes in Aleppo yesterday were, we will look more carefully.”
The “careful looking” into what exactly these two US Air Force A-10 warplanes targeted, as Konashenkov stated yesterday would be done, this report continues, revealed their “revenge targets” to be all of the major command and control centers manned by Turkish intelligence (MIT) operatives in Aleppo supporting the terrorist group al-Nusra Front who have been the main recipients of aid from Turkey.
And even though the Obama regime deceitfully, and clumsily, attempted to shift their destruction onto Russia, this report says, their effort failed and generated an immediate backlash from Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who though still failing to publically acknowledge his nations murdering of 12 US Marines, nevertheless castigated the Obama regime in an angry tirade that started with “Ey America!” and continued on with him stating: “I told you many times, you are [either] beside us, or all of these terrorist organizations. You haven’t had a good grasp of them, and that is why the region has turned into the sea of blood,”

Erdogan further railed against the Obama regimes support for the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its militia wing, the People’s Protection Units (YPG), which the US does not recognize as terror groups, this report says, by warning: “We have written proof! We tell the Americans ‘it’s a terror group.’ But the Americans stand up and say ‘no we don’t see them as terror groups. Allies don’t tell each other my enemy’s enemy is my friend. You must have principles. But there are no principles here.”
Even worse, this report notes, so angered is Erdogan because of the Obama regimes destruction of his entire intelligence operation in Aleppo aiding these terrorists, he has further stated he is preparing to unleash upon the West an even greater refugee crisis by expelling from Turkey all of Syria’s refugees—and of whom the MoD is now warning is being filled with thousands of terrorist killers fleeing from Aleppo, that is nearing liberation, and who have dropped their weapons and are now pretending to be civilians.
But as to how pathetic the Obama regime has actually become in provoking such “duplicity and misery”, this report concludes, was left to MoD spokesman Konashenkov to articulate, and who said:
“We have lately heard advice from the Pentagon on the necessity to change our strategy in Syria to ‘help’ the United States attain political transition of power there. We will remind especially for such advisors that the aim of our operation in Syria is to destroy terrorism – direct and clear threat to security of our country and the world. We never had and never will have any other ‘strategies’.
We have [though] clearly seen over the last five years the results of Washington’s strategies of ‘political transitions’ in the Middle East near Russian borders, and instead of ‘triumph of democracy’, there is devastation, blood, refugees everywhere.
Is this why foreign strategists are now talking about the necessity of launching ground operations in Syria and Libya? Maybe these advisors should better stop making the same mistakes over again?”
But then again, and there is mounting evidence to support it, it is entirely feasible that the Obama regimes main goal is to destroy both Turkey and Saudi Arabia—and which if that should happen would, finally, would bring peace to the Middle East as the Americans would finally have what they’ve wanted all along—oil.

Chris Christie is planning on dropping out of the presidential race, according to ABC News.
Despite his campaign throwing all of its efforts into New Hampshire, Christie only got seven percent of the vote on Tuesday, falling in sixth place.
After the disappointing turnout, Christie decided to head back to New Jersey to re-evaluate his campaign.
A leading factor in Christie’s decision was that he was more than likely not going to make the upcoming CBS debate.
With polls showing him at seventh nationwide and sixth in South Carolina, the next primary state, Christie didn’t stand a shot at coming out on top.

Italy’s premier has harshly criticized the EU’s recent economic policies, describing them as a “pointless remedy” for a terminally-ill patient.
Matteo Renzi censured the austerity measures imposed on many European states over the past several years and said austerity economics only has caused Europe to be left behind by the United States.
“The countries that have had growth in Europe have achieved it only because they broke the deficit rules,” he said in an open letter published by the daily La Repubblica on Thursday.
Renzi cited Britain and Spain, which are currently witnessing economic growth but their deficits are five and six percent of their gross domestic product (GDP), respectively.
Economically speaking, Washington is better off than eight years ago, but Europe is worse off, he wrote, adding, “If a remedy is not working after eight years I think you can call it pointless treatment.”
“Because if austerity is all you have, you die,” the Italian leader said.
The administration of Renzi and the EU leadership in Brussels have been at odds over demands by the Italian government for leeway on the budget rules of the EU Stability and Growth Pact to allow Rome to revive Italy’s economy with tax cuts and growth-orientated spending.
On Wednesday, Renzi said the situation of the EU resembles a sinking ship and the leadership of the continental bloc keeps ignoring the growing demands for change.
“The EU is like the orchestra playing on the Titanic,” Renzi stated, referring to the giant British vessel which sank in the North Atlantic in the early 20th century with the famous music band on the deck keeping on playing until they drowned.
He urged for a change of economic policy, saying it is much more important than the creation of a collective finance ministry for the eurozone.

US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is in an untenable position after suffering an embarrassing defeat in the first primary election in New Hampshire, says an American political analyst.
“Hillary is old news,” Daniel Patrick Welch said Wednesday in an interview with Press TV, arguing that the former secretary of state was given a chance by the ruling elite but failed to deliver.
Voters in New Hampshire delivered a decisive victory Tuesday to Bernie Sanders, the self-described socialist candidate from Vermont, with the largest margin of victory in a Democratic primary in the Granite State in modern era.
Sanders emerged victorious with 60 percent while former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who claimed a laser-thin victory in the Iowa caucuses last week, got 38.4 percent of the vote.
Sanders is “the new face of the Democratic Party,” Patrick Welch said. “So if this is the way to make it look like there is a ‘political revolution,’ then so be it.”
“If, and I say this with a caveat, if Sanders wins South Carolina, then he’s got the nomination,” the analyst predicted.
In a rousing victory speech, Sanders branded his victory in New Hampshire as a rebuff to “establishment politics” and the beginning of a “political revolution” in the United States.
Democrats in ‘panic’ mode
Former US Senate candidate Mark Dankof also believes that Clinton was the major loser in the second big contest of the 2016 presidential race.
“So Hillary Clinton, with all of the money behind her and with a ton of establishment Democratic endorsements from both sides of the aisle on the Hill – both the House and the Senate – clearly is the major loser in this thing tonight,” Dankof told Press TV.
There is a “general sense of panic” within the Democratic Party, he said.
Dankof predicted that the Democratic establishment would now try to convince Vice President Joe Biden to run for president “before it’s too late.”
“I don’t necessarily believe that the Democratic establishment believes that Bernie Sanders is electable in the general election,” he added.

Russia has made “specific proposals” on a ceasefire in Syria and is waiting for a reaction from the US, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
“We made proposals on implementing a ceasefire, quite specific ones,” Lavrov said. “We are waiting for a US response before putting them before the International Syria Support Group.”
Lavrov made the statement before meeting his US counterpart John Kerry on the eve of the start of the Munich Security Conference.
Following the meeting, the two diplomats instructed the experts to prepare “specific proposals” to be discussed at the meeting of the support group on Syria, Russia’s FM spokeswoman, Maria Zakharava, told reporters. She added that their talks had focused on how to reach a Syrian ceasefire and the country’s humanitarian situation.
Earlier on Thursday, Moscow said that negotiations about a possible ceasefire were still ongoing and no solution has yet been found.
“The process is very fragile, discussions are under way, one can’t speak about unanimity in the process of a Syrian settlement,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a conference call. His statement came in response to a question asking if Moscow had proposed March 1 as a possible date for the start of a ceasefire.
Earlier, AP and Reuters cited anonymous US officials who claimed that Russia has suggested a March 1 ceasefire in Syria.
A US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to AP, said that Washington is wary of accepting Moscow’s proposal.
Meanwhile, answering a reporter’s question on the issue, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said that he was not aware of Russia’s suggestion of a specific date to establish a ceasefire. He added that for Washington an “immediate ceasefire” is preferable.
“We are ready to discuss the modalities of a ceasefire in Syria,” Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told reporters in Moscow. “This is what will be talked about in Munich,” he said as cited by TASS.
The Munich Security Conference, which will take place from February 12-14, is due to focus on global security issues, with the war in Syria being a main part of discussions. A series of multilateral and bilateral meetings are expected to take place on the sidelines of the conference. These include a meeting by members of the International Syria Support Group on Thursday to consult on the process of ending the five-year war.
The intra-Syrian indirect talks hosted in Geneva have been suspended until February 25, according to UN envoy Staffan de Mistura. Citing difficulties with certain procedural issues for the break in talks, De Mistura said he remained determined to continue with the negotiations. The announcement came following problems with the list of members of the Saudi-backed opposition.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RT on Wednesday that some Syrian opposition members backed by Riyadh and Washington had come to Geneva with “non-negotiable” stances, insisting on preconditions for the talks.

Former Florida Governor John Ellis Bush, better known as “Jeb!,” went stark white when Infowars confronted him about the 28 classified pages in the original Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 still not released to the public.
Preparing for an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Monday, the GOP presidential candidate was approached by Infowars reporter Richard Reeves, who probed Jeb on the matter.
Jeb, whose brother served as US president when the 9/11 attacks occurred, nervously replies, “Yeah, sure. Yeah, I’d like to see them,” sardonically adding “Do you have them?” before scuttling off.
Since the early days after the Sept. 11 attacks, when news emerged that most of the airline hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, dark allegations have lingered about official Saudi ties to the terrorists.
Fueling the suspicions: 28 still-classified pages in a congressional inquiry on 9/11 that raise questions about Saudi financial support to the hijackers in the United States prior to the attacks.
The administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama have both refused to declassify the pages on grounds of national security.
But critics, including members of Congress who have read the pages in the tightly guarded, underground room in the Capitol where they are held, say national security has nothing to do with it.
Speaking at a press conference regarding the missing pages in 2014, Rep. Thomas Massie lobbied for the release of the documents stating he read them and that they challenged him to reconsider everything he knew about the event.
“As I read it — we all had our own experience — I had to stop every couple pages and just sort of absorb and try to rearrange my understanding of history for the past 13 years and years leading up to that. It challenges you to rethink everything,” Massie said.
Critics charge U.S. officials are trying to hide the double game Saudi Arabia has long played with Washington, as both a close ally and petri dish for the world’s most toxic brand of Islamic fundamentalism.
