Boots on the Ground in Syria & Russia Warns of Proxy War

Quote:President Obama is sending a small number of Special Operations troops to northern Syria[...]

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he has ordered his country’s military to strike Islamic State forces, but White House officials said that the Russians are indiscriminately targeting all rebel forces arrayed against the regime. [...]

In other words, team IMF still thinks they can topple Assad with 5 or 6 so called "moderate terrorists" if they can actually find them and give them weapons and Toyotas... uh huh.

So they will once again, be in the business of attempting to topple a legitimate government, operating uninvited in a hostile region.

What is the definition of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? *ahem*

I guess there are 50 or so more American lives team IMF has deemed expendable.

In response to this latest round of dubious developments, Russia had this to say:

Quote:Russia has warned of the risk of a "proxy war" in the Middle East after the US said it would send special forces to Syria.

So, this could signal a real crap storm, or will this be benign and will they actually fight ISIS with the Russians?

It's been shown that all the IMF pawns want is Assad ousted and a central bank put in.

There's a lot of blah blah about human rights

and such that are an obvious meaningless excuse to get the bank in there.

Until now, there has been no good reason to eliminate ISIS from the equation until Russia made more progress in a few days than the west made in a year, which has tremendous worldwide support and left team banking cartel with egg on their faces.

I hope for the best, but expect the worst. It always goes bad when there are ulterior motives behind these shenanigans, but if there is one thing the west has learned from failed foreign policy, it's that the west learns nothing from failed foreign policy.

Quote:Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) declared, “I don’t think we have a plan for destroying ISIL,” and “I think our objective today is to degrade them, to keep them on their heels” [...]

“There’s no white knights there. And what we have already seen when we try to run this train and equip program, is that the so-called Syrian moderates really aren’t interested in just fighting ISIS, right?

They want US help to be able to fight ISIL and to fight Assad.

[...]And of course, the very people we’re trying to help are deeply intertwined with our mortal enemy, al Qaeda, or at least they’re affiliated there.

When asked, “Do we have a plan for destroying ISIL?” Murphy answered, “Well, I don’t think we have a plan for destroying ISIL, today.[...] Ultimately, I don’t know that 40 or 50 advisers are going really to make a fundamental difference in Iraq.”

Murphy also argued that “I think you simply have to imagine that this isn’t the last announcement, that we’re going to start with 50, but that it will soon be at another number. That certainly has been the pattern of activity thusfar.”

And this: Dems decry Obama decision to deploy special ops to Syria

Those in his own party have reservations about this. The article also quoted Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, chairman of the House Armed Service Committee who had the following comments:

Quote:"A more intensive effort against IS in Syria is overdue, but the small deployment might prove to be too little, too late. "I do not see a strategy for success, rather it seems the administration is trying to avoid a disaster while the president runs out the clock" on his presidency"

I would bet money that the only reason Russia is getting involved is because Putin is butthurt about our interference in Ukraine.

They aren't expecting different results. What they want is endless war.

You know, they ƒück up so much it makes me wonder if they are ƒükking up at all. Maybe it's all by design.

Yeah, if you have a foreign policy that's like watching someone have a stroke in small increments, you know it's deliberate.
Stupid on this level comes from a contrived effort. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, but this broken clock has had it's hands ripped off.
We're barely 14 years into this thing that's supposed to last 50 years, so there's tons more of ignoring the obvious solutions, and stay the course of stupid that makes a few people very wealthy.
