Two US military officials have responded to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defence which has been widely misreported by the mainstream media.
The section of the statement which speaks of Russia’s plans to respond to future illegal acts of aggression in Syria is as follows,
The US has now confirmed that it was responsible for shooting down a Syrian SU-22 and the US led Coalition has now released the following statement explaining its move
The Syrian Arab Army has confirmed that US forces have downed a Syrian plane which was targeting ISIS in Raqqa.
Syria released a statement saying,
“This attack comes at a time when the Syrian Arab army and its allies are advancing in the fight against ISIS terrorists who are being defeated the Syrian desert in more ways than one”.
The United States confirmed the attack in the following statement,
A contingent of the Chinese Navy, the second biggest and in many ways the most modern in the world, has entered the Persian Gulf for joint exercises with the Iranian Navy.
Although China is generally far less vocal about Middle Eastern affairs than the other two of the three world super-powers, Russia and the United States, China’s position and alignment in the Middle East is clear. China has relations with all countries of the Middle East and does commerce with most of them as indeed China is the undisputed king of world commerce.
Judging from the mainstream media reports in the UK, the area around the location of a massive fire which gutted Grenfell Tower, a large apartment tower in west London, is something of a war zone, a place where anger and bitterness is ready to burst open into displays of violence.
As it is with so much else to do with the msm, this was not the case.
The area was not only calm but in some ways was eerily silent. On every wall and lamppost were signs with photos of missing people, most sadly presumed dead.
Reports have surfaced that during his heated exchange with Stephen Colbert, Oliver Stone responded to statements from Colbert repeating the tired narrative about Russia interfering in the US election by bringing up an elephant in the room that many media outlets have totally ignored.
Stone said of alleged and thus far totally unproved Russian interference,
“Israel had far more involvement in the US election than Russia, why don’t you ask me about that?”
Colbert, quick to end that part of the discussion replied,
People who have lived in or travelled to Russia in the last 17 years, would agree to a certain extent that Vladimir Putin’s Russia represents stability, prosperity, and conservatism – both in the moral and religious sense.
Those who have taken the time to understand Russia in a deeper sense, have realized and have come to understand that those who consider themselves conservative, Christians West have far more in common with Russians than some of their other ‘allies,’ like Saudi Arabia.
Shortly after news of the huge concentration of 50,000 Syrian troops and allied militia in the Palmyra area has come news of the Syrian army storming the town of Arak on the main highway to Deir Ezzor from Palmyra, and preparing a major advance along the same highway towards the important town of Al-Sukhnah.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has issued his most provocative remarks to date on the Qatar crisis gripping the Gulf and the wider region.
With Turkish troops en route to Qatar, Erdogan stated,
“A very grave mistake is being made in Qatar, isolating a nation in all areas is inhumane and against Islamic values. It’s as if a death penalty decision has been taken for Qatar”.
