Washington's Dismal Comedy Of Terrors - When In Doubt Bomb Syria
Quote:The main reason why my support for Bernie is only lukewarm. He's against REPUBLICANS destroying Mideast nations, but quite OK with Democrats doing the same thing. C'mon, Bernie! You can do better than that! The Jewish vote isn't THAT big!
Poor ISIS. Try as they might, the men in black still can’t out-terrorize their enemies or, more pointedly, even their patrons. For the past three years, decapitations have served as the money shots for ISIS’s theater of cruelty. Then on New Year’s Day the Saudis upstaged ISIS by audaciously chopping off the heads of 47 men, including a prominent Shia cleric.
This act of brazen butchery is made all the more horrific by virtue of the fact that the Saudi head-slicers recently landed a seat on the UN Human Rights Council, largely at the insistence of British Prime Minister David Cameron, who personally vouched for the petro-autocracy’s acute sensitivity to matters of civil liberties and the humane treatment of prisoners. Then again the drone-troika of Britain, France and the U.S. also enjoy seats on the council, so perhaps the Saudis have earned their slot after all.
With his peculiar fondness for porcine heads, Cameron is probably the Kingdom’s most un-kosher ally, but he is far from Saudi Arabia’s only political cheerleader. Showing a stunning lack of judgment, Comandante Bernie Sanders says his Syrian strategy relies on the Saudis taking the lead in the fight against ISIS
Quote:
“They’ve got to get their hands dirty,” Sanders inveighed to Wolf Blitzer on CNN. “They’ve got to get their troops on the ground. They’ve got to win that war with our support. We cannot be leading the effort.”
Apparently Sanders skipped the briefing on how ISIS’s apocalyptic ideology has been fueled by fire-breathing Wahhabi preachers financed by the Saudi royal family. The red senator also seems ignorant of the fact that ISIS functions as shock troops for the House of Saud in its proxy war against Iran, now raging in Yemen and Iraq, as well as Syria. You’d think that Bernie would be getting better advice from his friends in Israeli intelligence.
Sanders’ policy on Syria is naïve to the point of doltishness. But Hillary’s Syrian war plan—shared by most of her Republican rivals—borders on the pathological. Having not missed a minute of sleep haunted by the corpses of Libya, Mrs. Clinton is now stumping for the dismantling of Syria, using the carefully cultivated domestic anxiety over ISIS as the pretext. The cornerstone of Hillary’s rogue scheme is the imposition of a no fly zone over that embattled country.
Sounds like a relatively benign plan, right? But wait. ISIS doesn’t have an air force. They don’t even a have drone. Russia, of course, is flying daily sorties in Syrian air space, at the invitation of the Syrian government, such as it is, and some kind of confrontation would be inevitable. Still, Hillary doesn’t flinch. She has zealously vowed to shoot down any Russian plane that violated her unilateral ban.
Yet NATO’s latest recruit, Turkey, jumped the gun. Erdogan’s trigger-happy generals didn’t wait for any such fanciful legalisms and downed a Russian jet for momentarily breaching (perhaps) Turkish airspace. Then Turkamen fighters gleefully trained their machine-guns on the plane’s pilots as they slowly parachuted toward the desert. Vladimir Putin fulminated boisterously to his domestic audience, but prudently declined to retaliate against the Turks, perhaps intuiting that it would snap a tripwire for a full-frontal confrontation with NATO.
Everyone has been consulted about the future of Syria, except the Syrians themselves.
As usual. But nobody consulted the Libyans, either. Or the Iraqis or the Afghanis. Or, come to think of it, the Ukrainians, and significant minority of which didn't want the results of the coup. [Yes, KPO, it WAS a coup. You would recognize that fact if it happened in any other nation that you hadn't been thorough

Turkey continues to shell Kurds in Syria.
Meanwhile, Four plus one forces are advancing rapidly towards Raqqa to forestall an "anti-ISIS" invasion by Saudi Arabia and the USA.

You're digging pretty deep there, GSTRING. Usually, if the western press doesn't say WHO committed the shelling, it's because "their side", did it. And unsurprisingly, according to ZH it was Turkey that shelled a children's hospital.
Quote:
You have to be alive to say thanks.
Are you fucking kidding me? Do you think the people in the video haven't figured that out by now?
Because even knowing that their lives were at risk while their town was being liberated- all things considered, they're glad the terrorists are gone. And you're trying to invalidate their experience and their response (from your lofty, comfortable, safe existence ) because it doesn't match the way you think they "should" feel. Maybe you should argue with them, and not me. Tell THEM they shouldn't be grateful.

Wasn't it you that said Russia owned the skies? -GSTRING
DOOD, ARTILLERY shelling. Ground to ground, from Turkish positions into Syria. My god, it's like talking to bowl of cereal.
Quote:Because you say that like some sort of news to the people on the ground. They know the trade-off.

Are you fucking kidding EVERYONE??? How is "you have to be alive to say thanks" telling them how to feel?
And as far as being grateful the people there aren't saying "Thank Allah it stopped", they're posting pictures of Assad and Hassan Nasrallah (Hezbollah Imam) and Ruhollah Khomeini (Iranian Imam)... pretty pointed "thanks", if you ask me. And they know what they're doing, without you trying to re-interpret their actions for them.

Duh-ood - they're thanking their new masters. People rolled out the welcome wagon when ISIS rolled in too. It's called survival. Don't mistake it for anything else.
So now, everyone is a craven coward because NOBODY in their right mind would welcome government troops??
This is your problem, in a nutshell: You just can't believe that anyone might have different motivations than you. You can't believe anyone would willingly join ISIL, and you can't believe anyone would willingly support Assad. You can't believe anyone would willingly fight Kiev, either. Any time anyone expresses an opinion that you don't share, they're either mistaken, or they're forced into it. Because they're all REALLY just GSTRING under the skin, or if they're not- they should be. There's just no other right way to think, except the way GSTRING thinks.
Here's the way it works, son: SOME of the people who could run- ran. With the approach of Sunni jihadists towards Aleppo, Xtians, Druze, Alawites, etc who could run - ran. SOME of "the people" welcomed jihadism. WHY? Because they were Sunnis theocrats under-the-skin who wanted to impose their theocracy on everyone. SOME of the population fought. Why? Because they were not Sunni theocrats under-the-skin, and they viewed the Sunni theocrats as an existential threat. MANY ducked their heads and tried to hang on, hoping for help from elsewhere. Why? Because they had neither the physical nor emotional capacity to fight OR to run, so they "hid". And SOME, through either fear or reward, changed sides and joined the jihadists ... they collaborated.
With the current approach of four plus one troops, those who are running are mostly Sunni theocrats and their collaborators (and family) because they fear retribution. Yanno, kind of like what happened after WWII with Nazi collaborators. It's as simple as that, and ... you should have figured that out by now.
The fact that you have to castigate an entire people as collaborators... some of whom are against Sunni theocracy and terrorism ... says an awful lot about you. It says that you can't differentiate among groups and see (much less accept) their diverse motivations. That explains your failure to understand that MANY Syrians support Assad. It explains your failure to recognize that nearly all of the Crimean population happily voted to secede from Ukraine, and a third of Ukrainians were angry with or afraid of the new regime in Kiev. It explains your failure to see that at least a third of Libyans STRONGLY supported Qaddafi, which is why "the war" required NATO bombing and tons (literally) of Qatari and Saudi support. And that Iraq would head in three entirely different directions. You so strongly assume that everyone feels (or should feel) the way GSTRING feels that entire groups ... quite possibly close to three-quarters of the globe ... of people are invalid/ invisible to you, and anything they say is dismissable as cowardice or collaboration.
I'm using a lot of words hoping that SOME of them will get through, but here's the point: You're on the wrong side of this moral equation. You, THUGR, and KPO. Somehow, you've wound up on the side of ISIL and jihadism. How did you get there?
