The cop who is accused of killing George Lloyd has been arrested. Supposedly he will get a fair trial during which his guilt or innocence can be determined. Good luck finding an impartial jury after the main stream media has done its work. But that's how justice works in this country. If you can't accept that, you can go to hell.

And while we're talking about justice, can we get a little justice for General Flynn? Huh? And what about all the white people who've been killed by illegal aliens who should have been either in jail or deported? Huh? All lives matter. White people need justice too.

Nothing to do with justice. We're way beyond the "peaceful protest" phase.
The Revolution has started: it's obviously being driven by black bloc + BLMers who live for havoc and have no goal other than to crack heads, spill blood and burn everything in sight.
Either we crush it now, or it gains momentum and fans out across the suburbs - at which point they will hold the whip hand.

Call me a cynic, but I’m betting the “peaceful protester” human chain was just a psyop. The looters don’t care about armed police or armed business owners for that matter. But I’m supposed to believe the power of love stopped them?
[FoxNews] A Ivy League-educated lawyer and member of a Brooklyn community board was among those arrested for hurling a Molotov cocktail at a marked NYPD vehicle amid George Floyd protests, it was revealed Sunday.
Colinford Mattis, 32, was allegedly behind the wheel of a tan minivan as his passenger, fellow attorney Urooj Rahman, allegedly hurled the incendiary at an empty NYPD vehicle outside the 88th Precinct station house in Fort Greene early on Saturday.
Mattis, a graduate of Princeton University and New York University law school, is an associate at corporate Manhattan firm Pryor Cashman.
He was furloughed in April amid the coronavirus crisis, his employer confirmed.
“As we confront critical issues around historic and ongoing racism and inequity in our society, I am saddened to see this young man allegedly involved in the worst kind of reaction to our shared outrage over what had occurred,” managing partner Ron Shechtman said in a statement to The Post.
It’s never good to be the ambitious young lawyer who disappointed his managing partners.
Brooklyn Community Board 5 in East New York lists Mattis as one of its members, though the board’s president and reps didn’t immediately return calls on Sunday.
Rahman, 31, meanwhile, is also registered as an attorney in New York state, who was admitted to the bar in June 2019 after graduating from Fordham University School of Law. It was not immediately clear on Sunday whether she was affiliated with any law firm.
No doubt their other affiliations are also being looked into. Now would be a bad time for them to be discovered to be interesting.

Jonathan Turley looked into it. Apparently the kids are looking at no less than five years for deliberately killing an empty police car, and the partners are reviewing getaway driver Mattis’s employment. Thrower Ms Rahman is what they call a human rights lawyer.

...I have to say this. I work with a dozen truck drivers every day, and a growing number are Eastern European or Slavic immigrants. Good, hardworking people, but their command of English is often sketchy at best. It's entirely possible that this guy had no idea what the hell was happening when he came around that curve.

Individual professions have specific information which applies to the work. I'd be surprised if Reginald Denny isn't known in every language whose speaker knows from steering wheels.
How did this truck get there? The highways were shut down earlier. Was he drinking coffee in a truc stop for an hour and nobody told him.

So if he stops we get another Reginald Denny event and many truck drivers will refuse to transit the area - leading to starvation of the locals, and 'justification' of escalation of riotous protests, among other things. Or if he doesn't stop we get carnage and 'justification' of escalation of riotous protests.

Hundreds of protesters rally in London, Berlin over US death Protest as fashion — what posturing idiots.
[Jpost] Hundreds of people protested in London and Berlin on Sunday in solidarity with demonstrations in the United States over the death of a black man shown on video gasping for breath as a white policeman knelt on his neck in Minneapolis.
The protesters knelt in central London's Trafalgar Square, chanting "No justice, no peace," and then marched past the Houses of Parliament and finished up outside the US Embassy.Several hundred protesters also staged a rally outside the US Embassy in Berlin, holding up posters saying "Justice for George Floyd," "Stop killing us" and "Who's neckst."
First riots gave voice to the voiceless. Then riots were actually started by white supremacists and Russians. Now riots were started by police (I think this one will be the most popular) -> https://t.co/RChb7TmlX0
Fayetteville, NC Rioter Accidentally Lights Self on Fire (video)
[Breitbart] A rioter appears to have accidentally lit himself on fire while trying to set ablaze the Market House in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Saturday, according to video shared to social media.
The video, which appears to have been live streamed, shows a rioter lighting a fire inside the Market House — but catching fire in the process. Protesters can be heard audibly gasping as the rioter catches fire, prompting the man to flee from the building. "Get him out, get him out!" one man can be heard yelling.

I think all this was originally planned for the DNC convention this summer, when the cause de jour would have been the DNC screwing Bernie out of his rightful place as the nominee. Bernie's withdrawal messed that up, but the George killing provided an even better cause. So they moved the timing up a few weeks.
I think some people have the tendency to assume that Antifa is a particularly vigorous group of Biden supporters, or at least Democrats of some ilk. They're not. Trump's a rallying point, but all this would be happening with Biden or Hillary in office.
What Antifa wants is anarchy. "No border, no wall, no USA at all!" Or one that I have personally heard: "What do we want? Dead cops! Rows and rows of dead cops!"
The key to this is to split the black protesters from their Antifa overseers.

I don't think you even need to shoot them. Some of them are hard-core, but a lot are just upper middle-class kids living out a hero fantasy. Pick a few of the timid-looking ones and do the judicial equivalent of calling their mommies. Multiple felony charges (attempted murder sounds about right), lots of videos of them crying, perp walk, arrest report in their hometown newspapers. See how many show up the next time. Save the pre-dawn SWAT raids for the leaders, who, with any luck, will resist arrest.

[TMZ Sports] NBA star J.R. Smith beat the living daylights out of a man who allegedly smashed his car window during the wild protests in L.A. ... and TMZ Sports has the video.
You can see ... the 6'6", 225-pounder unleashed a barrage of violent kicks on the man -- landing several times in the head.
When the guy finally stands up on his feet, Smith delivered a final punishing overhand right to the guy's dome.
Finally, some of J.R.'s friends step in and the other guy scurries off in a hurry.
Smith explained the attack in an emotionally charged video -- saying, "One of these motherfu**king white boys didn't know where he was going and broke my f**king window in my truck."
"Broke my sh*t."
Smith says his truck was parked in a residential area -- away from the stores that were being looted.
We're told the incident took place around the Fairfax area -- near the famous Flight Club sneaker shop, which had just been looted.
"I chased him down and whooped his ass," Smith said.
Smith says the incident was NOT fueled by race or hatred -- it was simply revenge for messing with his truck.
AKA, Street Justice.
"He didn't know whose window he broke and he got his ass whooped."
Zero Hedge note:
We have one awkward question - as much right as Mr. Smith had to punish this mindlessly-violent idiot for damaging his property... we wonder what the reaction among the media and intelligentsia on Twitter would have been if a 6'6", 225lb white guy was kicking the crap out of skinny young black dude who damaged his car (or store?).

What get's me,is why does the black community not realize that they have let the white fringe antifa thugs hijack their cause again, just to make it about themselves. They are letting antifa tear apart the community in which,after the dust settles,will still have to live in.

[JONATHANTURLEY.ORG] Two sisters have been arrested after a Molotov cocktail was thrown into a NYPD van with four officers inside. Samantha Shader, 27, of Catskill, NY, is charged with throwing the incendiary device, which did not explode. Her sister, Darian, 21, (left) then allegedly tried to stop the arrest of Samantha Shader. The police have hit Samantha Shader with a slew of major charges including attempted murder of a police officer, attempted arson, assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment. Her sister faces charges of resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration. Media is reporting that Shader admitted to her attack on the police. The police have released a picture of Shader throwing the Molotov cocktail.
Police say that Samantha Shader threw the device through a rear window of the van. She then allegedly bit an officer on the leg as they struggled to arrest her. When her sister attempted to intervene, she was also arrested.
This would appear an attempted murder in the first degree.
It is hard to imagine any prosecutor bargaining down this charge since, if true, there would have been four officers burned to death if the device actually went off. Unless the device did not contain a flammable or explosive liquid, Shader is looking at serious time if convicted. For a Class A felony, the maximum term is life imprisonment. Even a Class B felony includes up to 25 years in prison.
Others have been arrested for alleged Molotov cocktailing attacks. In the second case, Urooj Raman tossed a Molotov cocktail into the NYPD vehicle and then jumped into a minivan. He and the driver Colinford Mattis, 32, were arrested and both are Brooklyn residents.

Turley is obvously infected with Lawyer's Disease.
He is more concerned with careful legal parsing of everything said or done rather than the immediacy of the on-going incidents
He seems to want this to turn into Jarndyce v. Jarndyce and go on forever as a legalistic exercise rather than come to a conclusion that is right (just) for society.
[NYPOST] New footage appears to show George Floyd in a violent struggle with cops while inside a squad car before he died after being pinned with a knee to the neck for almost nine minutes.
The clip — posted Saturday by controversial activist Shaun King — shows one Minneapolis officer leaning inside the rear left passenger door, seemingly struggling with Floyd after his arrest for trying to use a fake $20 bill.
Derek Chauvin — the officer charged with murder after pinning him by the neck as Floyd sobbed, "I can’t breathe" — is seen running around to the right side of the car as the Memorial Day clip ends.
That was the spot where Floyd, 46, was eventually pinned to the ground in the now-viral clip that sparked protests across America.
"It’s all coming together. Police were in the car beating the s—t out of George Floyd," King insisted of the clip.
"One stands watch, while the others attacked him."
All four Minneapolis officers were fired. Chauvin — who had been involved in three police shootings during his 19 years on the job — was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Floyd’s family said in a statement with their attorney, Ben Crump, that they "expected a first-degree murder charge."

Additional videos? Interesting timing.
Probably sounds like 'crazy talk' but let's imagine just for a moment George Floyd attempt to pass a fake $20. was a trigger intentionally designed to prompt immediate police response and arrest. Let us further imagine that Floyd's erratic behavior and possible resistance while in custody was purposefully caught on video and released to the media.
A further leap of lunacy might even suggest the CNN crew arrested in Minneapolis was also orchestrated, as was the bizarre attack on the CNN complex in Atlanta.

My problem with the "passing a counterfeit $20.00" narrative (and I'm not trying to excuse anyone involved in this nasty little ballet) is this: Someone passes a fake $20 in my store, I note the time, make sure the guy's picture is on my surveillance footage, call the Federal Building and ask to speak to someone in the FBI, Treasury or US Marshal's office. I tell them I have a fake $20 and a picture of the guy who passed it to me. Going to bet I get some action.

It is the height of folly for anyone to rush to judgment in a case like this based on video clips that they see on television. You never know what kind of editing was done on these videos and, even if there was no editing, it is rare for a short video to convey the whole story.
But MSM does it every damn time because telling the whole story is not what they do. They don't care about the accused getting a fair trial in front of an impartial jury that has not been prejudiced by some sketchy video. They don't care about the riots that may result from their reckless and irresponsible coverage of the incident.

Imagine Antifa and company have a plan and are waiting for some incident. They'd prefer to wait until closer to the elections but you gotta take the opportunity when it presents.
In this case they got lucky is that the cops actions are very difficult to defend, lucky in that everyone is already freaked out about the future and the nation is a powder-keg. But unlucky as the election is still half a year away. Still, gotta launch... so they did.

I do not believe he would be convicted for First Degree murder. So if the attorney general is dumb enough to charge him that way we'll get riots part 2.
[Zero Hedge] Mysterious pallets of bricks have been filmed throughout major riot hotspots across the country, in what appears to be more evidence that organized groups are using the George Floyd protests to incite chaos and terrorism throughout the US.

So who's donating the pallets of bricks to these riot ravaged areas? Surely there's surveillance footage, and surely they arent being brought in by hand. Start checking camera footage, run license plates. pic.twitter.com/QFHgwHVz0f

/\ Precisely what this whole rioting travesty (and politician comments) is all about, jumping to conclusions.
Yes, that a-hole cop had his knee on the poor guy's neck. But, was that the cause of death or merely associated with his death? Methinks the authorities are terrified to produce the autopsy report as, you know, many people out there can't handle the truth.
Never really realized just what a mess Minnesota is when you lump it all together with AG Ellison, that limp-Richard mayor of Minneapolis, former senator Al Franken, and that POS whacko Somalian congresswoman. I'm sure the governor is a real winner, too.

Clem, the police are responsible for the safety of people in their custody. Those assholes didn't bother doing ANYTHING right. They had him restrained, but kept him pinned and kept pressure on his neck. They should have had him at least sitting up on the ground, or gotten him into a cruiser.
YouTuber Donut Operator had a great video on this; it was mostly an active duty cop explaining how disgusted he was at the way the Minneapolis cops behaved. Both spend a lot of time looking at the entire story and as much evidence as they can; Donut has debunked previous "police abuse" videos. This was the fault of the police.

[ToloNews] At least three members of a family were killed Saturday afternoon when a mortar shell landed on a their house in Parwan province, local officials said Sunday.
Wahida Shahkar, the Parwan governor's spokeswoman, said the mortar was fired "by the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... " to target security forces at a checkpoint in the Joye Dukhtar village of Siyagird district.
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... the relatives of the victims claim that the mortar was fired "by the government," and they closed the Kabul-Bamiyan ...a place in Afghanistan that used to have some historically interesting statues of the Buddha carved into a mountainside. Then the holy men showed up and now all they have is some big holes... highway for several hours and said the perpetrators should be punished.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pound, the little lost dog had finished eating the rat terrier... Hussain Shah Maqsodi, the district police chief, said that police are investigating the incident and will share the findings once the investigation is ended.
The Taliban denies their involvement in the incident.
[RADIOSHABELLE] At least 10 people died and 12 were maimed when an bombdestroyed a minibus outside the Somali capital Mogadishu on Sunday, the government said.
The deadly explosion occurred near Lafole village along the Afgoye-Mogadishu where the passenger bus was traveling early in the day.
’At least 10 non-combatants were killed in a kaboom at Lafole area this morning, those who died were all civilians,’ the information ministry said in a statement, adding that the victims were on their way to a funeral.
Witnesses said the minibus was completely destroyed, and described a horrific scene with everyone on board either dead or maimed and many bodies ripped apart or burned beyond recognition.
’This was a horrible incident this morning, the bomb went off as the bus was passing by the area and destroyed it completely,’ said Daud Doyow, a witness.
’Bodies of civilians were strewn in pieces and most of the people died,’ he added.
’There were more than 20 people on board and 10 of them were confirmed dead while the rest are seriously maimed and taken to hospital, this is a horrible scene here,’ said another witness, Abdirisak Adan.
No group immediately grabbed credit for the bombing, but Somalia’s al Qaeda-aligned Shabaab group carries out regular attacks in and around the capital, often killing civilians.

[AlAhram] At least 25 people were killed in eastern Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... on Saturday after faceless myrmidons attacked a cattle market, regional authorities said.
The attack in the village of Kompiembiga in Est region was the latest incidence of violence that highlights deep instability in parts of Burkina Faso, which has been battling gangs with links to al Qaeda and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... since 2017. "The provisional corpse count from this killing is 25 and several maimed," said Saidou Sanou, the governor of Est region, where suspected jihadists have carried out a number of attacks in the past year.
No one has grabbed credit for Saturday's attack.
The bloodshed follows the death of at least 15 people on Friday in an attack on a convoy transporting traders in northern Burkina Faso.
Hundreds have been killed in the past year in the Sahel nation, and over half a million people have fled their homes due to the violence, which has also fuelled ethnic and religious tensions.
The Egyptian army announced on Saturday evening that their forces carried out two specific operations that resulted in the death of three dangerous terrorists, who were found in their possession of automatic weapons, hand grenades and RPGs.
The official page of the spokesperson for the Egyptian Army published a video, saying that “this is a continuation of its intensive efforts in combating terrorism and during the past week, and based on intelligence information that there are infidels in several terrorist dens in the vicinity of the cities of Bir al-Abd, Sheikh Zuwayed and Rafah in North Sinai.”
They explained that the military engineers discovered and destroyed five explosive devices that were planted to target their forces in North Sinai.
They pointed out that the Air Force carried out a number of concentrated airstrikes on terrorist positions, killing at least 16 of these elements.
In another context, the Egyptian border guards managed to seize a number of smugglers in possession of large quantities of weapons and ammunition and a number of four-wheel drive vehicles, as well as large quantities of hashish hidden inside a number of cars, in addition to a vehicle loaded with amounts $200,000 (USD) in cash.

[TheBlaze] Video shows a woman attacking a Tampa police officer with a knife, days after her brother was arrested for planning a terror attack on Florida beach.
Following the nationwide protests over the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, there is a laser focus on civilians who bit the dust in encounters with law enforcement. There was a police shooting this week where a woman died after she attacked a cop with a knife. In a strange twist, the Florida woman was the sister of a man who was arrested this week after allegedly planning terror attacks in the Tampa area.
On Friday, a woman was sitting at a bench outside the City Hall of Temple Terrace, a town next to Tampa. Surveillance video shows a Temple Terrace Police officer approach the woman, and she springs up and swipes at him with a knife. She lunges at him a second time, and the officer retreats, but she pursues him.
The woman and the man left the field of view of the surveillance camera. A second Temple Terrace Police officer appears in the frame of the camera, and he seems to be wielding a handgun.
The woman, identified as 22-year-old Heba Momtaz al-Azhari, was shot by police and later died at the hospital. The officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the attack.
Temple Terrace Police Chief Kenneth Albano said that he was in his third-floor office and heard the officer command the woman to drop the knife numerous times.
The deadly encounter is under investigation.
Spectrum Bay News 9 reported that al-Azhari is the sister of a man who was accused of plotting acts of terrorism this week. The Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that they had charged Muhammed Momtaz al-Azhari, 23, with "attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, namely, the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)."
Muhammed Momtaz al-Azhari was allegedly plotting terrorist attacks in the Tampa Bay area, including one on Honeymoon Island, a popular beach park.
The terror attacks were foiled by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, as well as local police departments and sheriff's offices. The suspect, who allegedly has a criminal history that includes prior terrorism charges in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , attempted to purchase multiple firearms during the investigation before "acquiring a Glock pistol and a silencer."
FBI agents arrested the suspect on May 24. If convicted, Muhammed Momtaz al-Azhari faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.
A family spokesperson said Heba Momtaz al-Azhari was upset over her brother's arrest earlier this week.
Update from the Daily Mail at 8:50 p.m., courtesy of Skidmark, with more, particularly about arrested brother Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari:
Al-Azhari had previously been convicted in Saudi Arabia in 2015 of terror-related crimes, including attempting to travel to Syria to participate in jihad and join a terrorist group along with two others, including his own father.
Prior to his arrest of the state charge, FBI agents interviewed some of his co-workers at the home improvement store, who expressed concern about statements that the suspect had made concerning Islam, guns and violence.
A supervisor told agents that when speaking about the September 11 attacks, Al-Azhari had said that he believed that Americans got what they deserved that day, according to the affidavit.
The same supervisors also allegedly overheard Al-Azhari speaking to other co-workers about jihad, saying that it involved 'defending Islam.'
Another colleague at the Home Depot had reported Al-Azhari to corporate security, claiming that he tried to convince his co-workers to convert to Islam, and that he 'spoke negatively and passionately about the United States and homosexuality.'
[Jpost] The Beersheba District Court on Sunday sentenced a Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... imam to one year in jail in a plea bargain on a conviction for smuggling funds from Malaysian charities to Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,.
The Southern District Attorney’s Office said it had encountered various evidentiary difficulties in the case, leading to the plea deal with reduced charges and a light sentence relative to the original charges.
In February, Imam Walid Div, 43, was indicted for a range of offenses related to helping finance Hamas, including traveling from Gaza to Egypt numerous times since 2013 en route to deliver religious sermons in Malaysia.
According to the indictment, while in Malaysia, Div was asked by Malaysian charities Aman Palestine and Mapim to smuggle funds into Gaza for Hamas.
In 2013, he smuggled $3,000 on behalf of the Malaysian chapter of Aman Paleostine to Hamas.
Div also worked with many of the same charities to smuggle funds to Hamas from Malaysia on other occasions, including contact with the Aman Paleostine chapter in Gaza.
Neither Div nor the Malaysian charities are officially associated with Hamas. But the charities include members of Hamas who use them as a front to raise terrorism funds for Gaza’s rulers.
Likewise, while Div quit working directly with Hamas shortly after briefly joining it in 2004, he maintained ties to some of its officials and had expressed a willingness to assist in smuggling funds.
In February, the Justice Ministry said he also had helped smuggle a package of unknown identity (presumed to be electronic) from Malaysia to Egypt, finding upon landing that it had disappeared.
The statement appeared to imply that other Hamas associates may have taken the package in Egypt once Div succeeded in getting it out of Malaysia.
Div was originally charged with performing illegal activities for foreign agents and providing services for an illegal organization. The charge of acting to acquire assets in support of terrorism was dropped.
As Israel and the US have cracked down on terrorist financing for groups such as Hamas, Gaza’s rulers have attempted to use more creative approaches to raising funds abroad. Suitcases and clothing with concealed cash transported by holy mans, the elderly and others who might draw less scrutiny are among the tactics Hamas uses.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has resumed their assault on the key town of Kabani in the northeastern countryside of the Latakia Governorate.
According to a field report from Latakia, the Syrian Army and Republic Guard unleashed a barrage of artillery shells and missiles towards Kabani, targeting the trenches and dens of the jihadist rebels.
The report said the Syrian Army heavily concentrated their attack on the jihadist fortifications, as they consider a new operation to capture Kabani from the hardline groups in control of it.
The town of Kabani is currently under the control of the foreigner-led Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (HTS).
These two groups have repeatedly foiled the Syrian Army offensives to capture Kabani in the past, often inflicting heavy casualties in the ranks of the troops attacking this mountaintop town.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish military has allegedly deployed its long-range air defense system in the northwestern governorate of Idlib, the pro-opposition Aleppo Media Center claimed on Sunday.
According to the Aleppo Media Center, the Ottoman Turkish military deployed its air defense system to Talat al-Nabi Ayoub, which is the highest point in the Idlib Governorate.
No photos were released to corroborate the claim and no further information was reported about the alleged deployment of this air defense system.
The Ottoman Turkish military has already deployed one of its air defense systems to Idlib; however, it is near administrative capital and it primarily a short-range system.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... has repeatedly warned the Syrian military about launching any attacks in northwestern Syria and the presence of these air defense systems will likely deter any future Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s over the governorate.
However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... at the same time, the Russian Air Force has recently intensified their flights over the Idlib and Aleppo governorates, as their warplanes were reported to have flown at both low and medium altitudes near the Ottoman Turkish border.
The Russian Air Force reportedly conducted these flights after unknown assailants attacked a Ottoman Turkish military convoy along the M-4 Highway (Aleppo-Latakia Highway) near the town of al-Ghassaniyeh.
As a result of this attack, one Ottoman Turkish soldier was killed and another was slightly maimed.
