Superstation95 has just learned Turkish military invasion of Syria is “Imminent.”   This will mean war between Syria/Russia and Turkey.

Here is how the events unfolded today:

Russia has called a session of the Security Council for 3PM this afternoon to discuss Syria, and potential Turkish troop presence.

Ed Beck, with the Omega Military Analysis Consortium (OMAC), tells SuperStation95 “Erdogan is cornered and there is nothing more unpredictable than a wounded animal. If he invades, his country is done. If he backs-off, his regime falls politically. He has put himself in an impossible position and all of it is his own doing.”

Earlier today, NATO’s position was made clear – and done so in public:  Turkey (despite being a NATO Member)  will get no support from NATO if it commits aggression first.”

At 1:22 PM eastern US Time, French President Hollande said publicly  ”War between Russia and Turkey (not NATO) is highly likely !!”

At 2:34 PM Eastern US Time, a Senior Adviser to Turkey President Erdogan stated “We may have to close Incirlik air-base to the use of USA air-forces”

  At 2:44 PM eastern US time, French President Hollande confirms “there has been an escalation.” 

At 2:51 PM Word from the UN is that the P5 were briefed by Turkey of its intention to put boots on the ground in Syria. Russia wants to discuss Turkish intent 

 At 3:10 PM The White House revealed that earlier today Erdogan held 1:20 hour long telephone call with President Obama.

 At 3:19 PM eastern US Time France rejects Russian UN text on Syria, slams ‘dangerous’ escalation

 3:33 PM EST  New Russian Navy cruisers from the Black Sea Fleet armed with Kalibr cruise missile systems will be on permanent duty in Russia’s naval group in the Mediterranean Sea that are tasked with operations in Syria, Black Sea Fleet Commander Adm. Alexander Vitko said Friday. “Yes, we’ll have rotations and all the new ships, including ships from the Buyan-M project, will be on battle duty.”

Below is the wording of a proposed UN Security Council Resolution, submitted by Russia, which France describes as “dangerous.”

The Security Council of the United Nations:

1. Strongly demands to fully respect the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic and immediately halt any cross-border shelings and incursions as well as abandon all attempts or plans for foreign ground intervention into the Syrian territory,

2. Demands to refrain from provocative rhetoric and inflammatory statements inciting further violence and interference into internal affairs of the Syrian Arab Republic,

3. Reaffirms that all States shall prevent and suppress the flow of foreign terrorist fighters and the illegal movement of weapons and related materiel into the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic,

4. Decides that all States shall commit to and unconditionally implement the provisions of its resolution 2254 (2015) in order to facilitate the efforts aimed at bringing an end to the Syrian conflict.

5. Decides to remain actively seized of the matter. 

 (Editor’s Note: We do not see anything here which can even remotely be called “Dangerous.”  Why France objects is unknown.)

4:08 PM  CONFIRMED: Turkey has deployed one-hundred Main Battle Tanks (MBT) to its city of Killis, on the Turkish side of the border of Syria, above Azaz.  See Pin on Map below.
