Yeah, I saw that, but even though I like Debka it's a shaky source and
I wasn't able to find any confirmation in mainstream media.
I've always thought that Putin's support of al-Assad was a disaster
for Russia. I was writing five years ago that North Caucasus
jihadists would go to Syria to fight al-Assad and Russia, and then
they would go back to Russia and use their training to attack Russian
targets.
Now that ISIS has been defeated in Raqqa, there have been reports that
thousands of ISIS fighters are returning to their home countries,
including Russia. The passenger plane that exploded in the sky near
Moscow yesterday is being investigated, and the cause hasn't yet been
determined, but right now it looks like terrorism, and the dots might
be connected back to Syria (though such a finding would be subject to
being covered up).
Russia now has a laughable marriage of convenience with Turkey, where
it's making deals to allow Turkey to kill "terrorists" in Afrin, and
Turkey won't oppose Russia and al-Assad from conducting massive
genocidal attacks on Turkmens in Idlib. It's truly sick. And if the
Debka story is true, then Putin the Great Peacemaker is clashing with
US forces on the Euphrates.
And oh, a related story is that Erdogan is threatening to clash with
US forces in Manbij. But none of that is important in America where
the idiots in the mainstream media are focusing on blaming Trump
because two of his employees' ex-wives are making accusations of
domestic violence. It's truly a sick world.
