These are our natural allies, who love us. They have an area that is a natural base for operations, as needs be. It puts “skin” into the game for the longer term. And ti allows the US to be a broker of alliances adn to tip the game’ as opportuniticially needs be.

Plus, it’s close to Iraq – giving the US opportunities to salvage a brighter future for those where we’ve invested the most treasure and sacrificed the most blood.

Finally, this position gives a pos-Obama surrender deal to get spoiled in the Mad Mullah quest for regional supremacy, and helps protect our allies in Israel as well as to repair ties to our badly abandoned Sunni friends.

US needs forces with the Kurds.

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but get the reference. Mars, the ultimate escape destination.

and who is the controller for assad? Soviet russia, or do you think a KGB man changes?

nope… no need to tap after the cables were cut and the business moved to the russian satelites and stayed there (just as i said way back when)

They don’t call him “Dhimmi Carter” for nothing, but perhaps they should call him Neville
Jimmy Carter is planning a dialogue with Hamas.

under the new idea of war, its war on all levels in all ways with the idea of hiding who is the wizard behind the cloth pulling the levers. use of third parties (islamics), accidents (lead on toys), internet (cable cutting, cyber attacks), information blindness (sattelite gps vulnerable), financial.

i did a quick tally, and was able to figure that the combined forces in the street gangs in the US exceed the number of military forces we have.

and

i dont think nuclear is on the table till after the urban situation is allowed to flower. in that way, a single event that didnt do much damage would topple the last bit.

now we are going to let in 200,000 “syrian” males… that will go well with crips, bloods, mara sevruga 13 (military trained), white supremecists, muslm brotherhood, and a lot more..

either the kremlin or be king of the USA which would become part of the international, and call itself a soverign democracy… (however, given the way history goes, he wont live, he will be removed after his usefulness is used up)

if someone checks back, way back to what i said that the Turkey, Iraq, afghanistan, pakistan, india would constitute a buffer zone (That putin said was being built too, like the soviets had their satelite states for protection), was the attempt to destroy the game being played in the middle east by blocking russia. but as with vietnam, the left prevented the completion of that, and i said if they succeeded in that, the russians would act to insure that no one ever gets into position of such a deft stroke again, not without WWIV…

well, that moment has arrived, and its going to be very interesting watching everyone, uncluding the armchair pundits and commentators try to explain whats happening. of course their advantage is that we have not paid attention as a peoples to the chess board moves, so we are not going to understand how we got from there, to a near checkmate (if not a checkmate).

the least obvious things are actually the most important. like a lynch pin that holds the whole edifice together.

now what we gonna do about it now that the lack of action has not prevented action and we have sunk deeper in the century old deadly goo of Russia (as i predicted would happen given that the long telegram from long ago points out how they behave and they have yet to change, reset or not)

Russia is going to keep pushing till it has a conflict, as it has not much to lose… when a something has everything to gain and nothing to lose is when that something is in one of several dangerous conditions (for others).
