Putin Threatens Turkey With Nukes

Putin Threatens Turkey With Nukes thumbnail

Award-winning Iran-Contra journalist Robert Parry has been told by a source close to Vladimir Putin that Russia has threatened Turkey with the use of tactical nuclear weapons if it launches a joint invasion of Syria with Saudi Arabia.

Writing for Consortium News, Parry warns that the risk of the United States and its allies escalating the conflict in Syria to rescue rebels who are now on the verge of defeat could spark “World War III”.

“If Turkey (with hundreds of thousands of troops massed near the Syrian border) and Saudi Arabia (with its sophisticated air force) follow through on threats and intervene militarily to save their rebel clients, who include Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front, from a powerful Russian-backed Syrian government offensive, then Russia will have to decide what to do to protect its 20,000 or so military personnel inside Syria,” writes Parry.

“A source close to Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that the Russians have warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow is prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons if necessary to save their troops in the face of a Turkish-Saudi onslaught. Since Turkey is a member of NATO, any such conflict could quickly escalate into a full-scale nuclear confrontation.”

Parry’s background suggests the information should be treated seriously. He covered the Iran-Contra scandal for the Associated Press and Newsweek and was later given a George Polk award for his work on intelligence matters.

According to Parry, although President Obama has “sought to calm Erdogan down and made clear that the U.S. military would not join the invasion,” he has been “unwilling to flatly prohibit such an intervention”.

Moscow’s alleged threat to repel a Turkish invasion of Syria with nuclear weapons follows comments by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in which he warned of a new world war if the United States and its allies send ground troops into Syria.

Turkey and Saudi Arabia have both signaled they are considering a ground invasion of Syria in order to aid refugees and so-called “moderate rebels” fighting against the Assad regime.

Last week, Turkish officials called for a “safe zone” to be established within Syria to allow refugees to flee Russia’s advance, although the United States argued that such a corridor could not be set up without a no fly zone.

Saudi Arabia is currently conducting the biggest wargames the region has seen for a quarter of a century. Northern Thunder involves 150,000 troops from 20 countries and is viewed by some as a precursor to a possible invasion of Syria.

Earlier this month, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told CNN that President Bashar al-Assad will have to be removed “by force” if the political process fails.

Despite official denials that the kingdom possesses nuclear weapons, Saudi political analyst told RT’s Arabic network last week that the Saudis have indeed obtained the bomb and that tests will be conducted soon.

    This is the result of the Russian (state run) media pushing the idea that Russia can now win a limited nuclear war. They have been pushing this idea on the Russian people since last year. what is so funny here are the people who chastise the American people for thinking this when in fact they really don’t. Typical american haters…

    Putin is a honorable man and for a reporter to not give the name of the person saying this it is a crock. America media is the biggest liars in the world…. Putin don’t need nukes to wipe out Turkey or most of the EU if the EU attacked Russia…. I do believe Putin will use them but won’t make idle threats ,,, That is America’s job

    Ukraine Collapse Is Now Imminent

    ” Oligarchs are fighting each other, the IMF is pulling out of the country, officials issue laws and regulations only to see them repealed within a day or two by others, and raided European companies are leaving the country after being robbed by the so-called pro-Brussels oligarchic elite.

    It was evident from the beginning that the US and NATO-sponsored power transition was doomed to fail. Prime Minister Yatsenyuk made no secret on his personal website about his principal partners, NATO and Victor Pinchuk’s foundation. Victor Pinchuk is a link between the Ukraine corrupt oligarchic establishment and the Western political elite.”

    Wrong. The NATO compact does not include coming in and saving NATO allies if they started the war. For example, if Turkey attacked Armenia, we do not have the obligation to run in like idiots and go help the Turks. It doesn’t work that way.

    Turkey wouldn’t dare attack in Syria. They know what it would mean: Their own destruction.

    Don’t Fall for Obama’s $3 Billion Arms Buildup at Russia’s Door

    “There is no Russian resurgence. Washington is playing on your Cold War fears to get you to pay for something the U.S. does not need and can’t afford.”

    Turkey turns off independent TV channel on ‘terrorist’ charge

    “Turkey’s satellite provider Turksat halted broadcasts of IMC TV at the request of an Ankara prosecutor investigating whether the channel supported a “terrorist” group, Eyup Burc said.

    “In Turkey, everything contrary to the official view is tossed into the terrorism bag,” Burc told Reuters, denying any ties with terrorist networks.

    “This was clearly a political decision. The prosecutor has no legal right to seek our closure based on an allegation.”

    Yes Apneaman, we know that the entire world is against your poor mother Russia and that it is alone in its stand for liberty and justice for all. And emperor Putin is a saint. Tell your masters that you have done your job well. Go ahead and have that shot of vodka now, you’ve earned it!!!

    A nuked Moscow would suck for the 2018 World Cup

  29. jozef on Sun, 28th Feb 2016 11:42 pm 

    Obama is a traitor but he is not stupid. He knows that Putin was pushed far enough that he will come thru with his threat in which case the whole humanity will be losers. I read some comments which must have come from young and dumb people. If anybody think that it would be one way war when the Russians will be fighting for their survival I will say that in a way it will be good coz the world need serious gene pool clean up. Because if the Russian missiles wont kill you your fellow Americans will in civil war and survival of the fittest!

  30. Silva on Sun, 28th Feb 2016 11:55 pm 

    This is done with wishes of all. Let it happen if say WW3. Then you’ll prepared to see next move … all in hell in seconds.

    If he does use nukes then that will be the end of Russia as we know it. It will be a wasteland after a massive nuclear response.

  32. angel martinez on Mon, 29th Feb 2016 12:27 am 

    Putin thinks that the whole world is afraid of Russia. Wishful thinking Soon all nukes in the world will be pointing ready to destroy Russia. If that’s what he wants, that’s what he’ll get.

  33. GregT on Mon, 29th Feb 2016 12:48 am 

    It would appear that the dumbing down of America has been a complete success.

    My condolences to those Americans who still have more than two braincells left to rub together. Time to get out of dodge ASAP.

  34. RealReality on Mon, 29th Feb 2016 12:49 am 

    Let’s see — Turkey shoots down a Russian jet in Syria — Turkey’s trained monkeys kill one pilot while he’s parachuting and try to kill the other.

    But somehow — it’s “nasty” Russia threatening poor, little Turkey.

  35. angel martinez on Mon, 29th Feb 2016 1:05 am 

    Brain cells don’t cause saber rattling. Putin does. I guess it’s time to save the poor Russians from Putin.

    I’m sure Putin’s soldiers are shaking in their boots…they must be terrified by america’s feminized homosexual-ized military.

    very scary. The world is holding its breath.

    Lets hope that there will be some rule of law after the war…you know, the laws are there already, look up the “Georgia Guidestones”.

    Cheers!

    ‘Brain cells don’t cause saber rattling. Putin does. I guess it’s time to save the poor Russians from Putin.”

    One lonely individual brain cell could conceivably cause comments such as yours, but only if it was seriously depraved of oxygen.

    What is your role in Syria m/ s turkey and Saudi?you are the terrorists and being instigated by USA to do this act. If one get pushed towards wall – what is the last thing one has to do- is an SOS.ie; Nuclear shield which should make them ash.

    At last, the Russian people will be put out of their misery, they have suffered enough.

    I was thinking a spam attack myself. Too many postings to be normal traffic. The topic is really not that special either. Hearsay and embellishment of reality. Putin is a smart guy and the Russian military professional. They have options and if 20,000 troops were in imminent danger they would surely do what is necessary. Other than extreme circumstances this is an unlikely event especially considering how problematic tac-nukes are. The situation and the real topic of Syria is profoundly important I don’t see this conflict spinning out of control because the risks are too great for everyone.

    It is the what-ifs and the long odds events people love to speculate on. It allows extremism to flourish. It allows fantasy and low IQ to mix into really bizarre comments. If these comments were really the heavy traffic of multiple commenters doesn’t that say something about human nature? We have global macro existential dangers like man has never before faced and people chose to delve into fantasy and extreme Hollywood.

    Many of the real topics that matter are boring in isolation. They involve people embracing self-sacrifice and accepting relative poverty. Few people want to talk about less and pain. People want to talk about war and conflict. People want to talk about competition with winners and losers. People want their extremism of anti-agendas. People want to blame and complain and not look in the mirror. We are all on a train barreling down an energy gradient to a brick wall and people are watching “Rambo series” on big screen in the food car.

    Methinks that Putin thinks that Obama is another Neville Chamberlain.

    “The last time this many retards commented on these forums was on Super Bowl Sunday. Un-fricken-believable.”

    It just tells us that the TPTB has a very vested interest in this. You don’t really believe that all these posters are real do you? Behold — your National Security State at work! The new, and improved Big Brother! They even use New Speak?
