World again on brink of war

World again on brink of war: Taiwan shoots down Chinese drone for first time amid rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific

(Natural News) Tensions that were already high between China and Taiwan rose yet again earlier this week following the downing of a drone sent by Beijing’s military into Taiwan’s territorial waters.

The incursion took place near an islet off China’s coast as the Taiwanese military fired upon the reportedly unarmed civilian drone, The Guardian reported.

“Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its own against the objections of the Taipei government, has held military exercises around the island since early last month in reaction to a visit to Taipei by the US House of Representatives speaker, Nancy Pelosi,” the outlet noted. “Taiwan’s government has said it will not provoke or escalate tensions but has been particularly angered recently by repeated cases of Chinese drones buzzing islands controlled by Taiwan close to China’s coast.”

The outlet went on to point out that the defence command for a group of Taiwan-controlled islands — Kinmen — that sit opposite of Chinese cities Xiamen and Quanzhou noted in a statement put out by the country’s defense ministry that the drone entered highly restricted airspace over Lion Islet shortly after noon local time on Tuesday.

Troops stationed there attempted to warn the drone off but it did not respond, so they were ordered to shoot it down. The remains of the drone landed in the ocean and, according to reports, likely not recovered.

It was the first time that Taiwan even fired warning shots at a drone. The shots came after Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen ordered her country’s military to initiate “strong countermeasures” against China’s provocative moves.

The Guardian noted further:

Speaking to the armed forces earlier on Thursday, Tsai said China was continuing to use drone intrusions and other “grey zone” tactics to try to intimidate Taiwan, her office cited her as saying in a statement.

Tsai again emphasized that Taiwan would not provoke disputes but that did not mean it would not take countermeasures, the statement added.

“She has also ordered the ministry of national defense to take necessary and strong countermeasures in a timely manner to defend national security,” it said.

Earlier Thursday, Lin Wen-Huang, deputy chief of the general staff for Taiwan’s armed forces, told reporters in a press briefing: “For aircraft and ships that entered our sea and air territory of 12 nautical miles, the national army will exercise its right to self-defense and counter-attack without exception.”

This is just the beginning of China’s escalation in ‘gray zone’ activity, which is defined as aggressive tactics short of outright kinetic warfare.

“This marks the first time shots have been fired during the current period of elevated tensions between China and Taiwan,” says an analysis by private intelligence firm Forward Observer regarding the incident. “China had previously dismissed Taiwan’s claims of harassment and provocations as ‘nothing to make a fuss about.’ Expect China to continue to escalate tensions with Taiwan by increasing the frequency and severity of its incursions into Taiwanese territory – potentially resulting in counter-attacks by Taiwan and leading to full-scale armed conflict.”

Meanwhile, the report noted in a separate item, Indonesia is also facing a territorial crisis in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the North Natuna Sea from China, as that country falls victim to Beijing’s “Belt And Road Initiative,” which is just a debt trap.

“China has been conducting regular incursions into Indonesian waters that China says are its own under its 9 Dash Line territorial claim. Ruled invalid by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the claim encompasses nearly 90% of the South China Sea. China has routinely conducted illegal fishing in Indonesia’s EEZ, patrolled the waters with its Coast Guard and maritime militia fleets, and even conducted seafloor mapping for future resource exploitation,” the report continued.

“The Indonesian government appears hesitant to confront these encroachments as its leadership and wealthy industrial class derive significant economic benefits from business with China,” it added.

China’s newfound aggression is directly linked to the fact that America now has a dementia patient as ‘president.’

Another Step Toward War

Royal Air Force Pilots Ordered To Shoot Down "Hostile" Russian Jets Over Syria

“Russia Issues New “Rules of Engagement” in Syria:

Any Aircraft Threatening the Syrian Army Will Be Shot Down (US/Turkey/Israel in the cross-hairs!)”

Tuesday, September 20, 2016 1:13

B4INREMOTE-aHR0cHM6Ly8zLmJwLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8tWnMtVDVfQTVDUEEvVi1Ec2Vha3p0SkkvQUFBQUFBQUJyS1EvNEF4dDJCY0g5bm96eWprQ0VZRDk0OHZWY1pTUExXMVpBQ0xjQi9zNDAwL3MtNDAwLmpwZw==
“Russia Issues New “Rules of Engagement” in Syria: Any Aircraft Threatening
 the Syrian Army Will Be Shot Down (US/Turkey/Israel in the cross-hairs!)”
 by Newsroom
 
“After the United States and “Coalition” aircraft attacked Syrian Army positions “by mistake – which killed 62 and injured over 100 Syrian Soldiers- Russia says the next mistake will be the pilot’s last, as new Rules of Engagement are now in effect.
 
Two days ago, on 17 September, US-led coalition jets bombed Syrian government forces’ positions near the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor, killing 62 troops and “paving the way” for Islamic State militants, the Syrian Army General Command told the state television.
 
The bombing took place on al-Tharda Mountain in the region of Deir ez-Zor and caused casualties and destruction on the ground, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported on Saturday. Sixty-two Syrian soldiers were killed and over 100 injured in the airstrike by the US-led coalition, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, said, citing information received from the Syrian General Command.
 
The Russian Defense Ministry said that the aircraft which carried out the bombings had entered Syrian airspace from the territory of Iraq.  Four strikes against Syrian positions was performed by two F-16 jet fighters and two A-10 support aircraft, it added.  “If the airstrike was caused by the wrong coordinates of targets than it’s a direct consequence of the stubborn unwillingness of the American side to coordinate with Russia in its actions against terrorist groups in Syria,” Konashenkov stressed.
 
The Defense Ministry also confirmed a report by SANA that an Islamic State offensive began right after Syrian Army positions were hit from the air. “Immediately after the airstrike by coalition planes, Islamic State militants launched their offensive. Fierce fighting with the terrorists is currently underway in the area of the airport where for a long a time humanitarian aid for civilians was parachuted,” Konashenkov said. The timing of the ISIS attack, coming within 7 minutes of the US air strikes against the Syrian Army, has led some to conclude the US is providing air cover for ISIS Terrorists! The Syrian General Command called the bombing a “serious and blatant aggression” against Syrian forces, and said it was “conclusive evidence” that the US and its allies support IS militants.
 
According to a news release of the US Department of Defense, the coalition’s aviation performed combat missions in Deir ez-Zor on Saturday. “We are aware of the reports and checking with Centcom and CJTF (Combined Joint Task Force),” the Pentagon told RT.
 
The US Central Command later has issued a statement, saying that it had no intention of targeting Syrian government forces near Deir ez-Zor. “Syria is a complex situation with various military forces and militias in close proximity, but [the] coalition would not intentionally strike a known Syrian military unit,” the statement read. CENTCOM promised that the strike and circumstances surrounding it will be reviewed “to see if any lesson can be learned.”
 
An unnamed US military official told Reuters that he was “pretty sure” that the targets hit in US-led coalition air strike on Saturday had been Syrian forces. According to the official, the bombings in Deir ez-Zor were carried out using US intelligence, which was being gathered for days.
 
The US says its attack stopped as soon as Russia notified the American side that they had been hitting the Syrian military, he added. But that does not fit the facts. According to both Russian and Syrian Army reports, the American jets were repeatedly told they were attacking the wrong side but continued attacking until aircraft were “painted” by Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. It was only after the surface-to-air missile locked-on to the aircraft that they cut off the attack.
 
UN  Security Council Debacle: After the attack, the US told Russia and Syria they would investigate how this “mistake” happened and report back. No report was forthcoming. So both Russia and Syria requested- and were granted- an Emergency meeting of the UN Security Council for the purpose of the US explaining why it attacked the Syrian Army. The meeting was convened over the weekend, but rather than provide an explanation, US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Powers, got up and walked out of the meeting! No explanation came from the US.
 
After this failure to explain itself, the Russians and Syrians were left to conclude the US attack was deliberate. Moscow cited the strikes, which allowed Islamic State fighters to briefly overrun a Syrian army position near Deir al-Zor airport, as evidence that the United States was helping the jihadist militants. 
 
“We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending Islamic State. Now there can be no doubts about that,” the RIA Novosti news agency quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying. 
 
If the US and its “coalition” are, in fact, covering for ISIS, then the end for that is near. Russia issued new Rules of Engagement today, instructing its air forces and Surface-to-Air missile batteries that they are to shoot down any aircraft threatening Syrian Army forces.
 
So the next “mistake” by a US pilot, will very likely be the last mistake that pilot makes. Once the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system “locks-on” to an aircraft, there is no escape and no defense. The system cannot be jammed and its missiles cannot be fooled by flares or chaff.  An S-300 absolutely, positively, will hit and kill any aircraft it is fired at.  
 
This is also bad news for Turkey, which also has troops and planes operating inside Syria without permission.  If a Turk aircraft attacks a Syrian Army unit, it, too, will be shot down.
Israel is also in trouble with these news rules of engagement. Israel has been sending the Israeli Air Force to strike areas of the occupied Golan Heights- official Syrian territory. Israeli jets will now be shot down if they attack a Syrian Army position.”
 
US Mass-Media Silent As War Looms: For two years, the US mass-media has been all but silent about US activities inside Syria.  The mass-media has not explained to the American public that the existence of US forces inside Syria IS NOT AUTHORIZED by the Syrian government or by the United Nations.  
 
Similarly, the mass-media has not informed the American public that the US has repeatedly refused to cooperate with Syrian and Russian military efforts to attack ISIS terrorists, even though the Obama administration claimed the US purpose for being in Syria was exactly that.
 
The mass-media again failed to report that the US attacked the Syrian military two days ago, and has failed to report this new situation with Russian Rules of Engagement in Syria.  
 
What this means is simple: The next time the US attacks the Syrian Army, the attacking aircraft are going to be shot down. When that happens, the US will scream “We’ve been attacked by the Russians” and use that to start a war.
 
When war breaks out, the American people will be totally unaware of how or why this happened, and will be blind-sided by the hideous reality that we in the US started it- and we in the US are the ones who are in the wrong.”
These US psychopaths are determined to start a war… which will rapidly go nuclear.

Military Analyst: Syrian Army to Shoot Down Turkish Fighter Jets

Sun Sep 18, 2016 12:50
 
TEHRAN (FNA)- A prominent Syrian military analyst underlined the army's secret high capabilities, and said any Turkish warplane violating Syria's airspace will face the same fate of the Israeli aircraft which were shot downed earlier this month.
"Syria will confront the Turkish fighter jets like the Israeli aircraft since Turkey and the Zionist regime are pressuring the Syrian forces in the Northern and Southern parts of Syria," Issa al-Zahir told FNA on Sunday.
"The sponsors of terrorism are attempting to boost the fully weakened morale of the terrorists by clear intervention, aggression against Syria's territorial integrity and supporting the terrorists logistically," he added.
The General Staff of the Syrian Armed Forces announced last Tuesday that the county's air-defense units deployed in the Southwest of the country shot down two Israeli aircraft in Quneitra province.
"An Israeli aircraft, which had violated the airspace of the Southwestern parts of Quneitra province, was traced and shot down by the anti-aircraft missiles of the Syrian Army in the early hours of this morning," the country's General Staff said in statement.
"Meanwhile, an Israeli spy drone was also targeted by the Syrian army fire on the Western side of Sa'asa' near the Golan Heights," the statement added.
The Israeli military aircraft had violated Syrian territories to back the terrorist groups' offensives on the government forces' positions near Golan Heights in Quneitra.
Turkish fighter jets have also been carrying out several strikes against the ISIL and Kurdish targets in Syria without coordination with the Syrian government.

Breaking News -

The Order has been given: Shoot Down Russian Jet within 72 Hours


Breaking News – The Order has been given: Shoot Down Russian Jet within 72 Hours

The order has been given: US Forces inside Syria have been told to SHOOT DOWN A RUSSIANJET within 72 Hours and claim it was "threatening US Forces" in Syria.  According to two separate sources inside the Pentagon, it appears the west has grown impatient for war withRussia, so they began laying the groundwork for it over the past few days, claiming Syrian aircraft are bombing too close to US forces.  There are now strident public statements by the US that it will "defend its forces in Syria."  
These strident public statements are not a warning to Russia, the statements are laying the public paradigm for going to war with Russia.
According to Intelligence sources who spoke to SuperStation95 on condition of anonymity, the consensus thinking inside the Beltway is that Russia will not take any action whatsoever against the US or its proxy forces if a Russian jet is shot down, for fear of outright war.  Intelligence analysts disagree fiercely with that belief.
Inside Intelligence circles, it is understood that the United States is operating inside Syria without permission of the Syrian government and without any mandate from the United Nations.  The Intel folks believe a deliberate US shoot-down of a Russian jet will cause a reaction for which the US is not prepared: The Syrian government will give the US 48-72 Hours to remove all its forces from Syria or face attack.
In its arrogance, the US will not heed the warning and, after the exit-time expires, both Russian and Syrian jets will obliterate US forces and their proxy rebels in a thunderous blitzkrieg of air strikes.  
At that point, the US will face the decision of whether or not to go to war. 
The Russians are said to believe that Obama does not have the guts – or the brains –  for a fight, and the American People will oppose (another) war because they've had their fill.  It's a risky gamble for the Russians.  It's an even riskier gamble for the US.
In addition to the goings-on in Syria, there is the Ukrainian affair which has been ramping-up for weeks.  Russia has now pre-positioned 40,000 troops on the Crimea/Ukraine border and another 30,000 troops across the border from Latvia in the Baltics.  If war between the US and Russiakicks-off in Syria, it will not be limited to Syria.  Europe will face war as well.
Perhaps this is why the German government over the weekend, told its citizens to immediately begin stocking-up on food and water "in case of an incident which threatens our existence."  The government is telling Germans to have a minimum of TEN DAYS food and water for each person in their home.
No one could make any sense out of this warning when it came on Saturday.  With today's newinformation from US Intelligence Sources, Germany's warning to its people now makes a lot of sense.  The Germans fear being steamrolled by the Russian Army.
The clock has started ticking.  We'll know within about 72 Hours if this farce we've been conducting inside Syria, turns into a real war.
This story will be updated if and when additional information becomes available.
EDITOR'S NOTE:  When we came into possession of this information, then confirmed it with a second source, we had two choices:
1) Publish it
2) Not Publish it
We chose to publish it because we want the public to know there are "interests" with influence in government, who are actively seeking war with Russia.  There's a lot of money to be made in a big war, and a lot of scores to settle around the world.  Most of all, there's a lot of DEBT to be done-away-with as a result of a catastrophic war. Since the USA is the most debt-ridden nation in the history of human existence, it is in our interest to have our debt done-away with.  
These realities have apparently coalesced into a disastrous plan to intentionally start a war withRussia.  We believe it is important for the American people to know – in advance – what is about to take place is not a random act . . . it is planned.  It is malevolent.  It is wrong and we are being the bad guys.
We also chose to publish this information because we resent our forces being used as canon fodder for someone else's agenda.  We don't have a military to start wars or to sacrifice on an altar of debt relief. Our troops ought not be betrayed to their deaths like this by people looking to cash-in on war, or be rid of debt.
In the end, it may come to pass that this plan is abandoned because word of it has now leaked to the public.  If that happens, then perhaps war will be averted.  It is our hope to avert a war.Source
And just how and when America will fall … everything you took for guaranteed … you current lifestyle, the comforts of life and America will be erased of the face of the earth.. World War 3 will hit by.2017…And this is only real solution for you and your loved ones…

Iran Demands Russia Shoot Down

Israeli Jets Attacking Damascus

 ScreenHunter_280 Jul. 09 21.47
TEHRAN (FNA)- Top Advisor to Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander Brigadier General Khosro Orouj called on Moscow to use its defense missile shield in Syria to target all enemy targets violating the war-ravaged country’s airspace.
“The anti-aircraft systems that Russia has brought to Syria shouldn’t allow even one single (enemy) aircraft to fly over the country, but this is not happening,” General Orouj said with much regret.
^A10C10F9529C81C0627F63CE19A5D4F2F415ED5118B77923E7^pimgpsh_thumbnail_win_distrHis remarks came as Israeli airstrikes in Syria have been widely reported over the last five years of the country’s crisis in support of the Takfiri terrorists.
In a latest development in December, Israeli jets carried out several raids North of Damascus. The airstrikes were ^E70CA84E773AA7ECAA9B4D5822B38810042B1DC8896ADBEA4D^pimgpsh_thumbnail_win_distrsaid to have targeted a four-truck Syrian army convoy, loaded with ballistic missiles. The Israeli Air Force also reportedly hit a gas supply, sparking massive explosions.
Elsewhere in his Saturday remarks, General Orouj described the crisis in Syria as a never-ending war launched by the arrogant powers, and said, “The enemies have hatched everlasting plots against Syria.”
He said that the world powers have gained the most from stirring turmoil and chaos in the world as they are enabled to attack any target on the pretext of fight against terrorism in such conditions.
^F5CAB9A5DEC0BA6F52106C2C0325A1B62F9070F1803FAA06E1^pimgpsh_thumbnail_win_distrSyria has been engulfed in an armed conflict since 2011, with forces loyal to President Bashar Assad fighting against armed opposition factions and terrorist groups, including ISIS/ISIL/Daesh and al-Nusra Front.

Did Obama Give Turkey Blessing for Shooting Down Russian Jet? Here’s a Clue…
