Finian Cunningham: NATO Proxies Turkey and Saudi Arabia!

NATO Proxies Turkey and Saudi Arabia Move to War Footing on Eve of Syrian Peace Summit: The NATO-backed covert aggression against Syria could be reaching a tipping point for all-out war involving state forces. That should be no surprise. For the past 16 months, NATO and its regional proxies have been steadily increasing the violence and turmoil inside and outside Syria, while the Western corporate-controlled media maintain the ridiculous fiction that the bloody chaos is largely due to the government forces of President Bashar Al Assad cracking down on peaceful protesters. Ironically, the crisis is culminating at the same time that the United Nations convenes an emergency summit on Syria in Geneva this weekend. The meeting, which is ostensibly aimed at reviving the Kofi Annan peace plan, will be attended by the five permanent members of the UN security council and other invited regional states. The irony is that leading NATO members, the US, Britain and France, as well as their Turkish and Arab allies who will also be attending the crisis conference, are the very parties that have deliberately created the precipice for all-out war in the Middle East. As dignitaries fly into Geneva to salvage peace in Syria, there is a lockstep military build-up on the northern and southern flanks of Syria underway, with news that Turkey has dispatched battlefield tanks, missile batteries and heavy artillery to its Syrian border, while to the south Saudi Arabia has announced that its military forces have been put on a state of high alert. Ankaras military mobilization along its 800km land border with Syria came within hours of the declaration by Turkeys prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, slating Syria as a hostile state. The immediate cause of the deterioration in relations between the neighboring countries is the downing of a Turkish fighter jet last week in Syrian territorial waters.
