Presenting ISIS-Beating "Mad Max" Battle Tanks And Buses

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When it comes to fighting the barbaric beheaders formerly known as ISIS, Kurdish fighters appear to have gone to the 1979 movie "Mad Max" for inspiration. As The Daily Mail notes, while significantly outgunned by Islamic State, the Kurds have created a fleet of well-armored, elaborately-designed, ominous-looking battle-buses by converting tractors and trucks into tanks...

 

Spot The Difference...

1979 Movie Mad Max...

 

And 2014 Kurdish Fighters...

*  *  *

So to sum up - ISIS (the enemy) is using the latest and greatest US military equipment that it either stole from (or was given) Iraqi military and the Kurdish Peshmurga (our allies) are using tractors and trucks cobbled together with steel plates, duct tape, and surreal images.

Ok...

In the world of Mad Max Middle East, Mr. Obama is out of his league. Who run Barter Town?  Not Obama!

All these fucking ass clowns in the US establishment, the generals, admirals, the diplomatics, spies, CIA spooks, all of them. We spend trillions on them, and what do we get? ISIS taking over Iraq and Syria. Did we get our moneys worth?

“Like a red star morn that ever yet beckoned,

Wreck to the isis, tempest to the oil field,

Sorrow to the black shepherds, woe unto the black birds,

Gusts and foul flaws to headmen and to thier herds.”

it is so important for the abc owners of the hedge to keep this vital report up.

and to keep reporting about the niggers who talk of cutting heads off in the homelands.

i mean making threats of head cutting at work is a terrible escalation.

 

isis is a threat to all humanity.

these demonic fuckers must be stopped.

Israel does not control Islam

Islam intends to destroy Israel

Read the Koran, it clearly says to kill the Jews and Christians

However Islam and Russia are going to be succesful in humbling the US

That is prophecy, nothing you can do about it

But what you can do is understand why this is happening, and not be part of the reason why this is being allowed

God is allowing this, it's time to pay the piper for being led astray.

You think this is show?

You will see soon enough how stupid that type of thinking is

Stop reading the flakey conspiracy sites

They are distraction

Reality is. Islam is on a roll, they will spread terror to all the nations of the world

The Jihad the so called "Moderate Muslims" are waiting for will arrive

then you will find out  how moderate they are

Moderate Islam is a facade, wake up.

I'm a little uncertain about the new direction this year's prom float committee has taken, but it's great to see "dazzle" camouflage making a comeback.

And who provides ISIS with its weapons, where did they get them? War is not cheap, so who is financing them?

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and when it is rampaging in the 'right' direction - the CIA, the GRU, the ISI, and a handful of others from the West and East.

Turkey is somewhat of a newcomer to the 'Re-Caliph-ation' game.  It was Attaturk, after all, that secularized the Turkish State. But in recent years they've been serious about it.

The CIA, and the other non-middle Eastern Intel Services, are more of a some-time paying client rather than a sponsor.  They are a John to ISIS and similar groups, one set of payments for one set of screwing, while the Gulf States are the Pimp, or Sugar-Daddy at home.

For the Gulf States this is just an elegant way to keep their radical elements making trouble elsewhere away from home, while simultaneously setting regional and world conditions to elevate their status once Oil can no longer be their daily bread.

While ISIS uses US-made equipment.

Armored vehicles are obsolete on a modern battlefield. Yeah, I realize that Iraq / Syria is not that, but in Ukraine the survivability of tanks was very very low.

White House fence-jumper made it far deeper into building than previously known

People jumping over the White House fence has become a more common occurrence, but most individuals are tackled by Secret Services officers guarding the complex before getting even a third of the way across the lawn. Gonzalez is the first person known to have jumped the fence and made it inside the executive mansion.

it looks cartoonish. do they use water guns as well?

 

USA is using ISIS to create Washington-controlled Kurdish state reaching norther Iranian border so it can safely build a pipeline from one sea to the other to transit Caspian gas and oil without relying on unstable Georgia.

Once ISIS is pushed through Kurdish area towards Iran, region will plunge into war and USA will again come to the rescue saving Kurds to establish their state, but not sooner than Kurds aquire that Iranian land during all-out chaos. This is a grand scheme to steal land from Iran without directly involving USA or Izrael in war with it.

That movie image is from Mad Max 2, known stateside as The Road Warrior. Get it right, Tyler.

I think the picture is from the movie "Mad Max 2: the Road Warrior", from 1982. Not the first movie from 1979.
