Turkey has shot down one of Russia's fighter jets that they claimed flew in to its airspace.  Russia president Putin made it clear in his follow-on comments to the press that Turkey is funding the Islamic State, is profiting from the sale that of stolen oil shipped into Turkey ISIS/ISIL (now called "DAESH"), and also provides military support to protect their illegal operations throughout Syria and the Middle East.

Putin is 100% correct.

So, what's next for Turkey?

As I predicted yesterday, NATO is already withdrawing overt support of Turkey, but will they continue to covertly finance ISIS/ISIL (as I also predicted) via Turkey?

NO! For now, the European covert ties with ISIS via Turkey have stopped, and that includes all financial and tactical support.  But, that will not stop the Europeans who desire complete control of the Middle East.  They will, instead, turn their attention to ISRAEL, who will be more than happy to pick up tactical support of the terrorists in their attempt to stop the growing influence of Russia, and by association, IRAN, in that region.

Meanwhile, Russia will manage to set up a clever and simple observation zone of the movements of ISIS-controlled oil in to Turkey. Without a transport route to customers willing to buy the oil, it leaves ISIS's activities high and dry. I would expect that rather than having to kill ISIS troops, Russia wills simply be able to orchestrate a peace treaty with them.

So, if the West is attempting to bleed Russia's military dry by forcing them in to hot war, they should think again. Russia's not dumb enough to be trapped in to it, and their military intelligence-gathering capabilities, and strong strategic leadership will allow brains to win out over brawn.

The only lingering danger is Israel who is concocting their own plans to take-over the Middle East.
