Ankara, Riyadh Envision the Creation of New 'Wahhabi Empire'

Posted: 20 Feb 2016 12:54 PM PST

Turkey has already unleashed a war in the Middle East, Marine combat veteran Gordon Duff, referring to the country’s de facto invasion of Iraq and shelling of Syria.
In the past few years Turkey and Saudi Arabia have been creating a “new Wahhabi empire” in the Middle East and beyond by fuelling Islamic extremists, Muslim Brotherhood recruits and al-Qaeda affiliates.
“Turkey and Saudi Arabia have made their plans clear to an amazed world, a new Wahhabist empire, an ‘Islamic State,’ not the one the puppet front organization ISIS [Daesh] is running, but a real one with up to a million men in uniform, over three thousand modern combat aircraft and nuclear weapons,” Veterans Today editor and Marine combat veteran Gordon Duff writes for New Eastern Outlook.
The Marine combat veteran envisions that if Ankara and Riyadh prevail, the region would be turned into a caliphate while the fate of the Mideast nation-states and the Kurdish minority is likely to be deplorable.
While Western policymakers are weighing the pros and cons of a ground military operation in the region, Turkey has already unleashed the war, Duff stresses.
“A war is already going on. Turkey has invaded Syria… Turkey has bombed Kurds inside Syria, not the claimed ‘rebel’ PKK, but the US allies of the YPG [Kurdish People’s Protection Units]… Turkey has invaded Iraq, sending in 1,500 troops who now protect Mosul, the ISIS [Daesh] capitol… Turkey is actively threatening Greece with continual air space violations and aggressive claims made against Greek islands in the Aegean. Turkey is preparing for war with Iran, ethnically cleansing their common border of Kurds and through building a military base in Qatar to launch operations from,” the combat veteran emphasizes.
Furthermore, Turkey has committed an act of aggression against Russia by shooting down the Su-24 in the Syrian airspace on November 24, 2015.
In short, the erratic Turkish leader is fanning the flames in the already war-torn region.
In addition, Ankara’s tentacles have been spread to Europe: the Erdogan government has no scruples about blackmailing Brussels amid the ongoing refugee crisis.
“Erdogan has destroyed Germany’s Merkel, whose popularity is at an all-time low,” Duff notes.
However, what is more important, the Turkish Armed Forces have amassed over 18,000 troops on the Syrian border, while a 250,000-strong military contingent is ready to move into both Syria and Iraq within 30 days, he underscores.
While Turkey can potentially invade Syria and Iraq from the north, Saudi Arabia is ready to move its armored forces into the region from the south.
Does it mean Syria and Iraq will fall victims to Ankara and Riyadh? No, it is highly unlikely amid the Russo-Syrian advance.
Although the Turkish artillery has been shelling Azaz, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have continued to advance towards the Syrian city.
“Turkey continues to cause massive artillery strikes on the positions of the YPG and Syrian Democratic Forces. The villages of Meryemin, Minnigh near Azaz and Afrin have been subjected to shelling. Civilians have suffered as a result of the bombing,” YPG commander Firat Xelil told Sputnik Turkiye Saturday.
The SDF and the YPG are fighting against Ankara-backed rebels, from al-Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Arab Army’s ‘Tiger Forces’ — backed by Liwaa Suqour Al-Sahra (Desert Hawks Brigade) and the Cheetah Forces ‘Team 3’ — have retaken the Aleppo Thermal Power Plant from Daesh, according to Al-Masdar News. In addition, the Syrian forces have imposed full control over Umm Turaykiyah in the Al-Safira Plains, the media outlet reported Saturday.
In its turn, the Syrian Arab Army’s 555th Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division is moving through the Hama-Raqqa countryside expelling Daesh forces from the area and heading towards the Tabaqa Military Airport.

German left-wing politician apologizes to attackers after being gang raped by refugees

Posted: 20 Feb 2016 12:27 PM PST

A 24-year-old woman, and speaker for the German “Left Youth” party was gang-raped by 3 immigrants on January the 27th, in the city of Mannheim.
German police are still carrying out their investigation, but on January the 30th, the woman, wrote an apology on Facebook, addressed to the immigrants who allegedly raped her. Here’s a few excerpts from the now-deleted post:
“Dear male Refugees, you are probably my age. Probably a few years younger. Maybe older. I am so terribly sorry! I did not see what happen before and I did not experience your grueling escape.”
“I am glad and happy that you made it here. That you have left the IS and its war behind and that you didn’t drown in the Mediterranean sea. But I fear that you are not safe here.”
“Burning refugee centers, violent attack on refugees on the street and a brown mob in the streets. I have always fought against this situation.”
“I wanted an open Europe, a friendly one. One in which I like to live, one in which both of us are safe. I am so sorry. For both of us I am so unbelievably sorry.”
“You, you are not safe because we live in a racist society. I am not safe, because we live in a sexist society.”
“But what I really feel sorry about is the case that the sexist and borderless acts that I suffered will lead to you being exposed to more and increasingly aggressive racism.”
“I promise you that I will scream. I will not let it happen anymore. I will not sit idle and let racists and concerned citizens turn you into a problem.”
“You are not the problem. You are no problem at all. You are a beautiful human being that deserves freedom and security as much as anyone. Thank you for your existence and nice to have you here.”
Wow! Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you: brainwashing. This is insanity! This is not the mind of a rational person..
Just recently, an Austrian woman’s 10 year-old son was raped by an Iraqi immigrant and she apologized to her children for telling them to “welcome refugees“ – she woke up and realized what’s going on.
But some people are just too far gone…
