U.S. Prepares War Against Russia in Syrian Battlefield<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

On Tuesday November 3rd, U.S. Defense Department spokesperson Laura Seal\u00a0told The Daily Beast<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that twelve F-15C air-to-air combat planes are being sent to the Incirlik Turkey Air Base for deployment in Syria against Russia\u2019s Su-30 air-to-air combat planes. Neither the F-15C nor the Su-30 can destroy ground-targets, only air-targets \u2014 enemy planes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words: U.S. President Barack Obama is telling Russian President Vladimir Putin that unless Putin is willing to go to war against the United States, he must stop what he\u2019s now doing in Syria. Obama is saying this in the only language whose meaning cannot be denied or misinterpreted: sending in counter-force to specifically what Russia has already sent into Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n

If it were not the case that both the F-15C and the Su-30 are equipped only for air-to-air-combat, then the meaning of Obama\u2019s move here wouldn\u2019t be so clear and unambiguous. Ms. Seal made her point even clearer by volunteering to tell The Daily Beast\u2019s reporter David Axe, \u201cI didn\u2019t say it wasn\u2019t about Russia.\u201d Axe then commented in his article, that this statement of hers \u201chinted at its [the deployment\u2019s] true purpose.\u201d But one would need to be a fool in order to deny it. The only real question here is why Obama has made this decision, which is quite likely to be fateful. So: that\u2019s the subject: Why did he do this?<\/span><\/p>\n

On 11 October 2015, CBS\u2019s \u201c60 Minutes\u201d aired a segment,\u00a0\u201cSteve Kroft questions President Obama on topics including Russia\u2019s incursion in\u00a0Syria\u201d<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and the U.S. President was challenged there by Mr. Kroft regarding whether he\u2019s \u201cweak\u201d on the Syria matter:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve Kroft: A year ago when we did this interview, there was some saber-rattling between the United States and Russia on the Ukrainian border. Now\u00a0it\u2019s also going on in Syria. You said a year ago that the United States\u00a0\u2014 America\u00a0leads. We\u2019re the indispensible nation. Mr. Putin seems to be challenging that\u00a0leadership.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
