President Vladimir Putin says he’s shared Russian intelligence data on Islamic State financing with his G20 colleagues: the terrorists appear to be financed from 40 countries, including some G20 member states. During the summit, “I provided examples based on our data on the financing of different Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) units by private individuals. This money, as we have established, comes from 40 countries and, there are some of the G20 members among them,” Putin told the journalists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96k_8ywt22g Putin also spoke of the urgent need to curb the illegal oil trade by IS. "I’ve shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products," he said. “The motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of kilometers, so that from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch beyond the horizon," Putin added, comparing the convoy to gas and oil pipeline systems. It’s not the right time to try and figure out which country is more and which is less effective in the battle with Islamic State, as now a united international effort is needed against the terrorist group, Putin said. Putin reiterated Russia’s readiness to support armed opposition in Syria in its efforts to fight Islamic State. "Some armed opposition groups consider it possible to begin active operations against IS with Russia's support. And we are ready to provide such support from the air. If it happens it could become a good basis for the subsequent work on a political settlement,” he said. “We really need support from the US, European nations, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran,” the president added. Putin pointed out the change in Washington’s stance on cooperation with Moscow in the fight against the terrorists. "We need to organize work specifically concentrated on the prevention of terrorist attacks and tackling terrorism on a global scale. We offered to cooperate [with the US] in anti-IS efforts. Unfortunately, our American partners refused. They just sent a written note and it says: ‘we reject your offer’,” Putin said. “But life is always evolving and at a very fast pace, often teaching us lessons. And I think that now the realization that an effective fight [against terror] can only be staged together is coming to everybody,” the Russian leader said. According to Putin, first of all it should be decided which groups in Syria can be considered terrorist organizations and which can be attributed to an armed, but still legitimate part of the Syrian opposition. “Our efforts must be concentrated on the battle with terrorist organizations.” Putin also disagreed with Western criticism of Russia’s actions in Syria, where the country has been carrying out a large-scale air campaign against Islamic State and other terror groups since September 30. “It’s really difficult to criticize us,” he said, adding that Russia has repeatedly asked its foreign partners to provide data on terrorist targets in Syria. “They’re afraid to inform us on the territories which we shouldn’t strike, fearing that it is precisely where we’ll strike; that we are going to cheat everybody,” the president said. “Apparently, their opinion of us is based on their own concept of human decency,” he added. Putin told the media that Russia has already established contact with the Syrian opposition, which has asked Moscow not carry out airstrikes in the territories it controls. Still no conclusion on what caused Sinai plane crash It’s too early to make conclusions about the reasons for the crash of the Russian A321 jet over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in late October, as all possible reasons are still being considered by the investigators, Putin said. “We know about all the possible scenarios, all of the scenarios are being considered. The final conclusion can only be made after the implementation and completion of the inspection,” he stressed. "If there was an explosion, the traces of explosives would have remained on the liner’s cover and on the belongings of the passengers. It’s inevitable. And we have enough equipment and skilled, world class experts, capable of finding those traces. Only then would it be possible to speak about the reasons for this tragedy," the president added. With 224 people dying in the crash, Putin said that "it's a huge emotional pain for all of us; for all Russian people, no matter what the cause of the crash was." https://www.rt.com/news/322305-isis-financed-40-countries/ |

Perhaps the pixs are fake, and perhaps the conspiracy theorists are wrong in their assertions. But one cannot deny the fact that their are lots of logical questions which demands answers. I kept asking myself, what does ISIS stand to gain from attacking France who actually plays no major military role in the fight against ISIS in Syria, and who is by the way one of the most vocal critic of Russia's war efforts against ISIS and "moderate Islamist" in Syria? One would think Russia which has been bombing ISIS non stop in Syria should be a much easier target for ISIS terrorists attack. Considering ISIS declaration of war on Russia and Russia's close proximity to syria and the large number of ISIS recruits from Russia. ISIS didnt deem Russia a worthy target, but France, why? The media are saying some of the ISIS terrorist entered France as SYRIAN REFUGEES. And the world knows, europe are battling for solutions to the Syrian refugee crisis. Theres an ongoing negotion btw Eu countries and Turkey. Syrian refugees would be returned to Turkey and it would stop the flood of Syrian refugees and in return, Turkey would be compensated with $Billions and a " ticket" to become an EU member. Last month the British parliament voted to cut back military spendings of British war mission against ISIS in Syria. That vote was said to be a humiliating defeat for David Cameron, US and war hawks. The world has barely started mourning the attack on on France, when the British Parliament swung into action by even doubling the military funding they voted against just last month. I kept asking myself this, which country or countries stand to benefit most from this tragedy and the military and political repercussions that is sure to follow? . Nato has promised stern military retaliation in Syria, with many Nato planes on Syrian skies bombarding ISIS, what are the chances that there won't be direct confrontation with Russian fighter jets who are in control of Syrian airspace? How did ISIS came into existence in the first place, and who is financing them? Why is Turkey, a Nato country bombing the Syrian Kurds who are fighting ISIS, rather than ISIS? Why is turkey the major gateway of ISIS recruits into Syria? why has Nato countries been paying lip service in their war against ISIS? Why does Nato keeps training "moderate jihadist" in Jordan and Turkey, despite admitting that about 80% of this trained fighters end up joining ISIS? The number of bombs Russia dropped on ISIS in their first 3 weeks of bombardment is more than what Nato countries dropped on ISIS in 1yr. Why? Why? Why? Abeg, make sombodi helep me answer these questions. And may God bless the soul of all the innocent lives that were lost in France, Nigeria, Syria et al. |

Maple:guy, I must confess for you to have come up with these questions you're a deep thinker, before I met this your post I've asked myself some of this questions, I nearly ran mad and became confuse, one thing I only noticed is this, all this things are all in a circle, and the more we look the less we see, but one crucial point has been so solid on my mind which is the media, yes, the media, the media has fed us with wrong news all this while, is what they want us to hear that's what we hear. |
