MOSCOW, December 28. /TASS/ Turkey has “confirmed evidence” of US-led coalition’s support to terrorist groups, including the Islamic State extremist group (outlawed in Russia), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
“They give support to terrorist groups including Daesh (Islamic State), YPG (Kurdish People’s Protection Units), PYD (Democratic Union Party). It's very clear. We have confirmed evidence, with pictures, photos and videos," Iran’s Press TV quoted Erdogan as saying during a press conference Tuesday.

Erdogan’s announcement came just a day after former US Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein accused Washington of supporting terrorist groups when it serves its interests.
A US Department of State spokesman, Mark Toner, strongly rejected the accusations as having "no basis for truth."
"I don’t think anyone could look at our actions on the ground leading the coalition in northern Syria, in Iraq and say anything other than that we’re 100% behind the defeat, destruction of Daesh, and even beyond Syria and Iraq, seeing its networks dismantled, destroyed around the region - or outside of the region around the world," Toner said.
The spokesman added that the United States is "working constructively with Turkey to lead those efforts."
"Turkey is playing a part and we have constant dialogue and discussion with Turkey about how we can better leverage both of our efforts," he said.

What do YOU believe to be true, Balu ? Let's have your personal view on this.

I honestly have no idea who we're supporting over there. Things are very confusing and there are no clear cut 'good guys' that I'm aware of - it wouldn't surprise me to find that a rebel group we're supplying is in reality just another radical muslim faction that will turn on us the moment they're not busy terrorizing someone else.

Expecting Obama to support the correct group seems a little out of the realm of likely events, considering his track record. And Kerry is a unmitigated buffoon who wouldn't know proper foreign policy if it came up and kicked him in the nuts.

If Balu's postings are any indication of 'what's going on,' it's that Putin is preparing the stage for a new administration facing as many 'challenges' as possible. While this is nearly always the case, this coming one with all of its 'uniqueness' may be in for a difficult opening scene.
