The "Sultan" has been warned. From now on Russia has three major priorities:
1. A de facto no-fly zone already in effect south of the Turkish-Syrian border enforced by the S-400s. Ankara is so scared it grounded even owls and crows.
2. Already in effect; Russia will hit -- hard -- anything that suspiciously moves on every transport corridor in and out of Turkey. Turkish "humanitarian" convoys -- carrying, what else, weapons -- were pulverized in Azaz, which is only five kilometers from the Turkish border. And truck distribution points were also bombed near Raqqa.
3. Already in effect; Russia massively bombing the whole wide region where CIA ops run a cash and weapon highway to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and "innocent" Turkmen. Russia started carpet bombing the Jabal Turkmen area immediately after Russian pilot Lt. Col Oleg Pershin was rescued.
As I detailed here, there is absolutely nothing "innocent" about this whole war theatre crammed with a dozen al-Qaeda-friendly Turkmen militias.
And there's more.
Not only will Russia smash the Turkmen/Chechen/Uzbek/Turkish Islamo-fascist militia connection in Latakia Province; it will most of all smash the Syrian stolen oil bonanza which benefits "Erdogan Mini Me." Extra bonus: Smash the sea tankers as well. Francois Hollande abides.
So "Erdogan Mini Me" better seek refuge in Dubai. But oops, that does not preclude an "accident" after a wild night in town.
Highway to Hell
By now, Erdogan and "Mini Me" must have gotten the message. They thought they had it covered when they took out the Su-24, which was not "violating" anything apart from the ultra-lucrative dirty oil extravaganza that profits, among others, "Mini Me." Get rid of a sell oil for Daesh program, defying a NATO oil embargo? That's an offer Russia cannot refuse.
At least two major questions are left unanswered. How come the US-led "Coalition of Dodgy Opportunists" (CDO), in over a year, never -- and the operative word is never -- bombed any of the wheels in the Syrian stolen oil machine?
And how come no one among the CDO -- Americans especially -- did anything to prevent "Mini Me" and others from actually funding the Daesh racket for so long? The CIA obviously knows all this and more, with geostationary satellites all over "Syraq" working overtime. Well, the CIA was too busy running the cash and weapons highway through Turkmen Mountain to be disturbed by a mere oil smuggling op.
But now Russia is going after all of them; the CIA weapon highway, the Turkish-enabled Jihadi highway, the Daesh-to-Turkey stolen oil highway. Sultan and "Mini Me"... get ready to embark on a highway to hell.
