"America Deluded Us" Slams Angry Iraq PM, Will Buy Russian Jets Instead In War Against ISIS

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It was a week ago when we learned that in yet another diplomatic masterstroke, Russia's Vladimir Putin took advantage of the vacuum in relations between the US (which now wants its heretofore puppet prime minister in Iraq removed) and the Iraqi PM (who has been increasingly vocal against US allies in the region, namely Saudi Arabia, and US demands for a coalition government) and offered his "complete support" to the Iraqi leader. Yesterday the Iraqi leader has decided to take Putin up on his offer (especially since as we reported previously the Iraqi air force is currently made up of all of two "equipped" Cessna jets) and has announced he has bought used Russian jets which he will use instead of US fighter planes in his war against ISIS.

As BBC reports, citing Maliki, "Jets from Russia and Belarus will hopefully make a key difference in the fight against ISIS in Iraq." He expressed regrets over Iraq's contract with the US, saying their "jets are taking too long to arrive."

"God willing within one week this force will be effective and will destroy the terrorists' dens," he told BBC Arabic.

Mr Maliki says Iraq has ordered Sukhoi fighter jets from Russia, possibly similar to the one pictured.

In the meantime, the prime minister took another chance to poke the US in the eye, which despite sending "weaponized consultants" or whatever Obama calls troops and special CIA agents these days, has so far failed to deliver on its promised fighter jets to the civil war-torn country. Maliki criticized the process of purchasing US jets as “long-winded,” adding that the radicals could have been repelled if Iraq had proper air defense.

"I'll be frank and say that we were deluded when we signed the contract [with the US]," Maliki said. "We should have sought to buy other jet fighters like British, French and Russian to secure the air cover for our forces; if we had air cover we would have averted what had happened," he went on.

Maliki said Iraq bought second-hand jet fighters from Russia and Belarus "that should arrive in Iraq in two or three days." He was speaking to the BBC's Arabic service in his first interview for an international broadcaster since Isis - the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant - began its major offensive. 

The prime minister also confirmed that Syrian forces had carried out air strikes against Islamist militants at a border crossing between Iraq and Syria. He said Iraq had not requested the strikes but that it "welcomed" them. "They carry out their strikes and we carry out ours and the final winners are our two countries," he said.

Ironically, this also means that, at least optically, the US is now alligned with Russia as well as Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia in the "all against one" fight against ISIS which continued to consolidate its territory in Iraq and Syria.

What it really means is that Obama has asked, and is about to get $500 milllion more to arm ISIS and its al-Qaeda peers in Syria, which in turn the Iraq air force will now use Russian jets to bomb.

What is the definition of a proxy war again?

F-35 is junk.  Hit it with a .22 and it will burst in flames.  The biggest scam in military history.

Anyway, why would anyone buy American after the 777 disappeared and was probably flown remotely like a drone.  Too much spyware in anything made in America especially any American software and hardware.

The workers at the fighter assembly plant might be staging a work slowdown to protest the increase in their healthcare costs due to the Affordable Care Act.  Funny how that works.  Iraq, you gotta pay more for these jets 'cause Americans need their expensive affordable healthcare!

Maliki is a deadman walking. His only hope is to pressure the US into giving him a golden parachute like so many US CEO's have been rewarded with for their incompetence.

You don't construct an Air Force in one week.  It's irrelevant if the planes arrive in one week.  You need planes, you need mechanics, you need parts, fuel, armaments, bases.   Really, how effective can this effort be?  Why did we pull out and leave them without air support?

 

This is what happens when you put a smooth talking, black mailing, community activist, lawyer, and junior senator with no expereince in Washington in the Oval Office.

No-one has said where the planes will operate from. Howabout the nearest Iranian airfield already handling the same types? Everything ready to go. Plus a stash of gold in Bagdad that they bought a few months ago to pay for it.

They have no air support because the Iraqis refused to sign the US deal that said US troops could kill anyone in Iraq without being punishable by a local court. So the US left.

U.S. Intrigue on the world stage - it used to be executed largely with masterful precision, up thru the decade of the 1980s I would say. The last major accomplishment was the collapse of the Soviet Union, and its post-collapse ravaging carried out by U.S. intrigue.

 

Of course, that has backfired now.

 

But once we got into the mid-1990s, the Game of Intrigue progressively became a shallow, asinine and shortsighted thing on the part of the U.S. At this point, it's a lot like playing Russian roulette on your own head in front of your rivals and enemies, all the while thinking that it's going to catch and keep them off-guard and give you an advantage! No! They're just letting you blow your damn brains out!

 

So is it rank stupidity on O'Balma's part, or is he actually trying to crush the country? I'm also coming progressively to the conclusion that much of this is planned and intentional on his part - he wants America to become a third-world sewer to fit in better with much of the rest of the planet.

 

Never thought I'd say that - but the evidence is becoming too overwhelming to ignore the obvious.

He is a 'friend' of the CIA, but then so isthe puppet in Afgan, so was Saddam, so was Ruhollah Khomeini, who was assisted by Saddam, later helped by Turkish intel, then French intel, as he prepared to return to Iran... and the CIA was assisting Iran's secret service at the time with their 'interrogation' tactics.... and let's not forget 'friend to all' Mossad... now we see ISIS, who we  trained in Jordan go get some free weapons, cash and supplies from our friend in Iraq... and now Mr. O wants Congress to authorized a new stash for them in their quest for dominance in the ME.... of course, we now have drones keeping a watch of their operations to keep them safe from the Iraqi govt and whoever seeks to stop them... see the connection? The PTB, or global oligarchy, always works both sides of the equation simultaneously... same pattern throughout history.... that way all the real 'defenders of freedom' can be vectored into one of our false flag ops... and all those stupid or ignorant sheep can be 'encouraged' to sign up and die for the empire.... and become vets if they survive and get F* over yet again.... PERFECT...... simply PERFECT... and that is life here in Purgatory... the lessons of history repeat until learned. Round and round it goes..... when will it stop? Only each individual will know... of course, Mother Nature has to hit the reset button every so often.... seems Year One starts next year.... but the real sign will be the passing or illumination of our binary buddy, a brown dwarf, as it swings by in its rather long orbital pattern... and like a comet hitting our sun's heliosphere, the charge differential should light it up rather nicely.... but it's the comets that follow that clean the stage for the reset... and who will care about any of this political puppet show and all its diversions and distractions then?

If Senate Democrats were anything other than corrupt partisan hacks, they would join the GOP in impeaching the child in the White House before he makes the world into a bigger shit sandwhich than he aleady has.  The amount of damage this ass clown can inflict in the next two years is almost limitless at this point.  Someone needs to put it to an end.
