What the —? There are no ‘moderate’ rebels in Syria. Do you really think ISIS just popped up and magically appeared with enough manpower, firepower and materiel to drive the Iraqi army out of Mosul? Do you think a force that large could go anywhere without U.S. satellites and drones picking them up?

Really? WHERE? The U.S. general responsible for CENCOM just told Congress that they only have FOUR or FIVE ‘moderate’ Syrians left in Syria (whom the U.S. has trained), and that they’re UNABLE to find anyone else. Al-Qaeda and ISIS already killed them all.

You know, this is all just a dress rehearsal for what Russia has planned for Raqqa, Syria (ISIS stronghold/HQ).

“Less fundamentalist??”

Qatar Sheik Hamad Bin Al-Thani: “Does this mean I’m not going to get that Qatari Gas Pipeline after all?? Me sad. I want to make $5 trillion a year, not just $2 trillion!! Not fair!!”

Gosh, I love these videos with thick British-accent voiceover narrations, so calm and understated. This one’s like watching the Westminster Dog Show, except you’re flying and there’s a jet and there are no dogs.

Well, the 1979-1982 Syrian rebellion was led by the Muslim Brotherhood. Please come up with facts or proof to the contrary, if you could.

There’s NO way Iran will allow this sort of pipeline to go through its territory, even if solely for sectarian reasons (main pipeline sponsors Qatar, UAE, Jordan and Saudi Arabia being Sunni).

Syrian president Bashar Assad has mainly been violent and ruthless only against Islamic jihadists opposed to his regime.

Okay, I’ve looked into the Hama massacre of ‘82. I don’t know, man. It was against the Muslim Brotherhood. If I had my druthers, I hope the exact same thing happens against ISIL and the Al Qaeda Al Nustra in Syria.

I don’t know, I wasn’t born yet in ‘82.

Yes, the Russian military isn’t good at being an OFFENSIVE force engaged in expeditionary ‘adventures’ (aka invasions).

Huh? First of all, there’s no pipeline without Syria. There’s just no way around that. Second, given Assad had said “No” to the Qatari Pipeline back in 2009, and again in 2012, why invade Turkey? And third, invading Turkey —- a member of NATO —- would initialize World War III.

Ain’t about Tarsus —- it’s about the Qatari Gas Pipeline.

Are you nuts? Do you know how many military assets and forces the U.S. has in the Middle East? What does Russia have in comparison?

If the West and its Middle Eastern cohorts don’t want to see Russian tank regiments in Syria, then they either need to STOP fucking around in arming those jihadist rebels — or support Assad.

I don’t get it. Why aren’t we using our own Patriot air defense missile system, or the Standard SM-2 or SM-3 SAM’s?

Can’t do that. It makes waaaayyyy too much sense.

I don’t even know how to respond to what you said. It’s that inane.

The generals still control Egypt. And Libya after Qaddafi is pure chaos, even worse than Syria in some respects.
