IT IS BEING REPORTED THAT TURKISH MILITARY FORCES HAVE ENTERED SYRIA There are international news reports that claim that Turkish military forces have entered Syrian territory and have established positions near the towns of Azaz and Afrin. If these international news reports are true, then Turkey has essentially declared war on the Assad regime. Back in February, I warned that escalating tensions in the region could be the spark that sets off World War III, but things seemed to cool down a bit in March and April. However, this latest move by Turkey threatens to take the war in Syria to a whole new level, and everyone will be watching to see how the Russians and the Iranians respond to this ground incursion. ______ RUSSIA DEMANDS THAT TURKEY WITHDRAW ITS TROOPS FROM IRAQ The Russian Foreign Minister has slammed the presence of Turkish troops on Iraqi soil as “unacceptable,” and has called on Ankara to pull out from the Arab country. ______ Erdogan says no Muslim family should engage in birth control By REUTERS May 30, 2016 ANKARA: No Muslim family should engage in birth control or family planning, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday, calling again on pious Muslims to have more children. "We will multiply our descendants. They talk about population planning, birth control. No Muslim family can have such an approach," he said in a speech in Istanbul broadcast live on television. "Nobody can interfere in God's work. The first duty here belongs to mothers," he said. Women's groups and opposition politicians have criticised Erdogan for telling women how many children to have and dismissing the Western idea of gender equality. He has previously equated birth control with treason. _______ NATO Plans Yet More Troops in Eastern Europe at ‘Landmark Summit’US: Russia Threat 'Real and Serious' by Jason Ditz, May 30, 2016 Print This \| Share This NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is talking up a “landmark summit” in early July in Warsaw, a meeting which officials say is guaranteed to include a major new deployment of NATO ground troops into Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe. This comes just a week and a half after the last NATO summit, which itself included deals to send massive numbers of addition troops into the same area, on the same pretext of fending off a Russian invasion that officials have been predicting for years now. Rep. Mike Turner (R – OH), who also serves as the President of NATO Parliament, insisted that the Russian threat against Poland and th eBaltics is “real and serious.” A statement from the parliament today insists NATO has “no choice” but to send more troops, again. NATO has been predicting an imminent Russian invasion of Eastern Europe since the 2014 regime change in Ukraine,citing Russian support for the ethnic Russian majority of eastern Ukraine rebelling when the pro-NATO government attempted to ban the Russian language and severely limit their ability to trade and travel across the border. The invasion never happened, and after years of NATO buildup seems even sillier for officials to still be predicting. The ability to use this “threat” as a justification for more NATO spending, however, means it will probably continue for the foreseeable future
