regarding Chinese in Syria:
It was all good until she said Russia and Iran want to prop Assad up. Prop SYRIA UP.
What they want is an Assad (Alawite) follow Iran's religious edicts (Shiite). Russia does not care who runs Syria as long as they tow the line and let them keep their bases or expand them if possible. Neither give two s about Assad.
And this is CNN, Hater does not think this is a reliable source so take it down.
Russia is clearly NOT concentrating on ISIS at present.
They are helping the Syrian government take out other rebel groups that are actively hostile towards ISIS.
Syrian boundaries, as they were, will most likely never be the same.
Saudia Arabia assisting ISIS
Another Saudi Prince Arrested, This Time for Smuggling 2 Tons of Drugs for ISIS Fighters
Last week, the Free Thought Project reported on the case of Prince Majed bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, 29. Abdulaziz was arrested and then let off by prosecutors in Los Angeles who claimed they didn’t have enough evidence to charge him with kidnapping and sexual assault.
On Monday morning, Abd al-Aziz Al Saud was about to conduct a flight from Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport on his private jet when he was intercepted by security forces.
According to AhluBayt News Agency,
Abd al-Muhsen bin Walid bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud was detained at an airport in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, while in possession of 24 bags and eight suitcases full of narcotics.
They were packed in his luggage, weighing about two tons, which aroused su ions among the security forces and led to their discovery.
Inside the luggage, Lebanese officials found packages containing two tons of captagon pills. For those unfamiliar with captagon, it is an amphetamine-based drug ISIS fighters have been using to stay alert in battle.
Lebanese psychiatrist, Ramzi Haddad, told the Guardian that
Captagon has ‘the typical effects of a stimulant’ and produces ‘a kind of euphoria – you’re talkative, you don’t sleep, you don’t eat, you’re energetic.’
According to the BBC:
The drug has helped fuel the conflict in Syria, generating millions of dollars in revenue for producers inside the country as well as being used by combatants to help them keep fighting.
NNA reported that 40 bags of Captagon pills were found by inspectors from the Gendarmerie in cases due to be put on board a jet bound for Hael, in northern Saudi Arabia.
The US government’s loyalty to Saudi Arabi is unquestioning despite their horrific and violent track record of human rights violations and beheadings.
As the Free Thought Project’s Jay Syrmopoulos pointed out last week,
It should come as no surprise that there is virtually no accountability for a member of the House of Saud, as they break U.S. law with impunity. They have figured out the formula that makes “American justice” work, having large amounts of wealth and being politically connected to powerful individuals.
Similarly to how the U.S. gave a tacit nod of approval to the ascension of the Saudis to the head of the UN Human Rights Council, despite having beheaded more people in the past 12 months than ISIS, Al-Saud was given the Saudi royal treatment by U.S. authorities.

Saudi Arabia totally immunized by US/UK BigOil
That Saudi depraved prince apparently forced his LA mansion staff to watch him and another male staff member perform sick depraved sex acts. He then threatened the staff with violence if they object to his depravity.
House of Saud. Sick ing pigs created by the good ol Uncle Sam.
Saudis are a huge problem.
They have been for a while. The US is totally frustrated with them. We sold them way too much . They support radical Sunni groups, we know this and have stopped them in a number of cases but they continue to go back door on us. The Republican Guard and Khamenei in Iran are just as bad.
There is no good side in this mess.
Great article with the latest war news
http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/secu...-advances.html
Seems the big battle is being fought as we speak. Whoever wins the Hama strategic point will win the war. Lets hope its the good guys and not the terrorists
There are no good guys.
And this is not the war for Syria. It's a war for a regime. The war for the whole of Syria is not close to finished and probably never will be. We are looking at a country that ends up with very different borders, more like Afghanistan, no one really runs the whole country.
The good guys are the ones who are not behading Christians, plotting international terrorist attacks and destroying world heritages. There are good guys
Then the good guys gas their own people, level towns and kill everyone in them no matter who they are. Read the history of the city of Hama to find out what your hero family, the family Assad, did there.
So merely killing Christians is ok, it's the beheading part that's not good. See Iran and Hezbollah.
Its its not as clean as you want it to be. Bad guys often kill each other.
Disagree completely. Assad never tried to wage jihad and genocide on their opponents. Sure he has a tough Hand but so does every current ruler in the middle East: Saudí, Turkey,Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, etc
The bad guys are the jihadis who are mass executing Christians and beheadin non believers.
Turkey has been the main ISIS promoter besides Saudi. They are basically selling the ISIS oil and getting a cut from it. Also getting cuts from dug and human trade. ing animals.
Good thing Russia is not taking from them and doubled down on their economic threats and stopped their truck traffic through Russia. Erdogan is way over his head. Elections are in days and the Kurds have just had about enough. Turkey can possibly explode into an all out civil war.
Vienna talks today. All the es of the kingdom attending: Saudi, turkey, us, Iran, russia
Interesting . Seems like they are going to agree to a 6 month transition/campaign process and elections with Assad's name included in the ballot
How the are elections going to be held in Jihadi ruled towns![]()
You are absolutely wrong about the Assads. Just because they don't call their mass murders Jihad it's ok?
I will again tell you to read about Hama. 20,000 people were killed in less than 2 weeks. And there is so much more. You have no idea concerning the cruelty of the Assads, none.
Lol not understanding the terms jihad and genocide
Even Kerry agrees that ISIS must be the priority and Assad can remain in power as long as IS is dealt with
You're all alone in this one buddy
You are correct but not anymore (oil). Turkey has been a two sided player in this is well. The Kurds also have their terrorist factions. This is not in anyway a clean conflict. Turkey made their bed by dealing with ISIS. No sympathy here.
Where have I underestimated or indicated no understanding of radical Islam? Why don't you just be straight for once if you choose serious discussion.
You obviously read this stuff but you post what suits your preferred prejudices. No one is clean here. Especially the Assads. The ISIS folks are obviously zealot lunatics. Russia has yet to make any concerted effort to address ISIS. Either has the Syrian army or the Iranians. The conflicts continue in the West. ISIS is battling other rebel groups in the east. This is the general conflict as it stands now. The ISIS folks are not dominant in the West where the largest Syrian cities are and were Assad has his remaining stronghold. The Syrian concentration is on other rebel groups by in large. Get a map out.
And do you really have to stoop to the emoticons...
So because Kerry says Assad might do for know it makes Assad a good guy?
Really?
ISIS is a widely dispersed very clever rebel group with very good tactics and weapons. Of course they will be very difficult to get rid of. Which is why Russia and the Iranians are doing little to nothing to stop them. The US is playing that role thru the air but it's not enough.
Kerry and Obama disagree with you:
The Obama administration entered a crucial round of international talks on Syria’s war prepared to accept a deal that leaves President Bashar al-Assad in place for several months or more during the transition to a new government.
The U.S. shift on the dictator’s future caps months of backtracking on the most significant obstacle to a resolution of the Syrian conflict. While U.S. officials once argued Mr. Assad couldn’t take part in a political transition, they have gradually eased that stance, eventually signaling he wouldn’t have to step down immediately. Now they are planning to negotiate the question of his future in talks being held Friday in Vienna.
The White House hasn’t publicly set a time frame for Mr. Assad’s departure to give U.S. negotiators room to maneuver in the Vienna talks, officials said
that's from your own dear WSJ
This is the possible good news.
WSJ can have some good stuff but I have not made a statement to you concerning this particular organization. My dear WSJ... WTF
You just make stuff up.
And so what about Kerry and Onama.
You act as if the US has not agreed to let bad guys stay in place for a while? Or even for a very long while. Or actually put a bad guy in place and support him?
This does absolutely nothing to discredit my assertions about the Assads. Get this thru your head.
