The Humiliation Is Complete: ISIS Fighters Cut Off Beards And Run Away As Russia, Iran Close In

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The thing about ragtag groups of militants that display a penchant for extreme violence is that in the absence of serious opposition, they can rack up gains at an alarming pace. 

Of course there are plenty of (possibly credible) theories out there, which suggest that some of what you see in the videos released by ISIS is for show and we won’t endeavor to assess the degree to which the group’s brutality is real versus staged, but one thing is clear: regardless of who is funding, training, and/or supporting them, there are obviously fighters on the ground in the Mid-East waving the ISIS flag and committing atrocities in its name. 

That works well when it comes to destabilizing fragile states that are already beset with sectarian bickering on the way to claiming large swaths of territory from a defenseless citizenry.

But you can’t intimidate a modern fighter jet by waving around a sword and if you’re a newbie on the Mid-East militant scene, you can’t scare a three decade veteran by beheading a couple of people, which is why if you’re ISIS, the combination of the Russian Air Force and Hezbollah ground troops is absolutely terrifying.

As we documented earlier today, Hezbollah and Iranian troops are advancing on Aleppo and Moscow is backing the offensive from the sky which means that the hodgepodge of anti-regime forces that control Syria’s largest city will almost (and we say "almost" because there are no sure things in war) certainly be routed in a matter of weeks if not days, which would effectively serve to restore the Assad regime in Syria.

After that, the Russian bear and Qasem Soleimani will turn their eyes to the East of the country and at that point, it is game over for ISIS. 

Apparently all of the above isn’t completely lost on al-Nusra and Islamic State fighters because if you believe the Russian media (and we’re not saying you should), Sunni extremists are now shaving off their beards and running for their lives. Here’s Sputnik:

Hundreds of ISIL fighters are fleeing Syria for Turkey, as Russia's Defense Ministry previously said, and reports are popping up that they are leaving their beards behind.

Now obviously, these are just pictures of hair on the ground with razors, so that shouldn't be interpreted as anything that even approximates definitive evidence of a full-on ISIS retreat but put yourself in the following situation for a moment. You're a Sunni extremist and your regional and Western backers have just abandoned you. You are now under siege by the Russian Air Force. If you survive the air strikes you will soon have to come face to face with the fiercest, most experienced Shiite militia on the planet and if you somehow manage to survive that, well then you have to fight the Quds Force ("how do you shoot the devil in the back"?).

What would you do? 

*  *  *

We close with the perfect video clip analogy. The US is in the blue shirt, ISIS is in the red, star-spangled jumpsuit, and Russia, well... Russia is the bear.

US to ISIS: "No, no, you can't quit now, we just started. You got to give these people a show man"...

So here's the lesson you fucking primitive, stone-age, retarded scumbags:

Never bring little throat cutting knives and basketball shoes and Toyota pickup trucks and Youtube videos, and American supplied humvees, ammo, and whatever other bullshit to a full-on Russian military battle.  Especially when you're not even a real army of any kind what-so-ever.

"...i think this sums it up well:..."

I agree, Jeff. The article hits on all the important aspects of the state of our involvement.

The problem for the U.S. is this: take a step back and consider ALL the information and diplomatic/military drama Dr. Brennan covers. It's got to be overwhelming for 98% of Americans when laid out like that - I doubt they could get through the first three paragraphs.

That's not a critique of the author's writing - the situation itself is just extremely complex. There's a lot of moving pieces - there's no way to Break it down Barney-style for the American public. Which is why I rail at the 'cartoonish evil villian' political and MSM narrative. THAT attempt to dumb down the situation and market our confusing, scrambled efforts in the Middle East helps nothing. In fact, dumbing-down reality has blowback: loss of trust. Subsequent attempts by politicians and the MSM to demonize Putin (for not obeying ZATO world domination plans) further weaken the trust Americans - and the rest of the world - have in the U.S. govenrment's competence and morality. It may sound crazy, but I see this as a GOOD thing. Americans need to realize how bad their government is.

I want to believe in a moral and just U.S. - Americans are fundamentally good. But it's a mistake to automatically project those qualities on to a clearly dysfunctional government. The ways the U.S. govenment is dysfunctional are complex. Ex-PFC Chuck's comment points to govenment corruption. I'll one-up that and point to a much more fundamental cause: psychopathy a la Lobaczewski. There is corruption, but that's only a symptom (although a huge, obvious one).

Efforts to get rid of corruption will always fail if there is underlying psychopathy. One need look no further than Ukraine and their futile attempts to eliminate corruption. We would have no more success here. If we really have to Break it down Barney-style for the average American to understand, then call it for what it is: the 'problem' with the U.S. government is the pervasiveness and tolerance of EVIL IN the government. The organization and its members are sick, and the disease is infectious.

I am pretty damn sure 'voting' for the least diseased candidate next year isn't going to fix anything.

"attempt to dumb down the situation" 

You're way too far ahead of yourself.  Before you start dumbing down the quagmire in Syria for the public, you have to dumb it  down for an American Politician.  These guys are stuck back in the Cowboys and Indians mentality.

But if you want to dumb it down to where you can at least function, how about starting with everybody hates everybody else and the one thing they all have in common is everybody hates America.

"...you have to dumb it  down for an American Politician..."

I agree 100%, Kayman. But nobody is ever going to ask you or I to do that. There is an entire industry of Washington D.C. think-tanks, institutes, foundations and assorted fake analyst-whores. Their entire existence owes itself to industry groups or foreign governments paying to Break it down Barney-style for our learning-impaired Congress and Administration.

Between a purple dinosaur, PowerPoint decks and good old-fashioned American psychopathy, there is little need for a functional brain anywhere among our elected officials or their evil minions. 

I am increasingly troubled to repeatedly arrive back at only one sure cure: the wood-chipper. I am loath to feed the evil fuckers into one myself. I'm thinking of some kind of trick. Like making the feed chute of one look like the entrance to a fake lobbying firm and setting it up somewhere on K-street. It would have a big rotating neon sign with an arrow pointing to the entrance that says: "Free porn and bribes for important people ONLY - Come on in!" Maybe a little light jazz in the background and valet parking.

I want to see Putin's reaction.  TWICE when the EUke's had the WUke's surrounded and were ready to destroy them Putin forced the EUke's to allow the WUke's to safely withdraw under a cease fire/peace plan.  Only to have the WUke's to attack again.

Will Putin bomb them on the roads/backroads/trails?  Will Putin not only allow the Syrian allies to wipe them out will Putin assist with intel and air support?

After what they have done I think it might be difficult for them to try to blend in with the locals.  Once control was established it would seem the locals would turn them in to the Syrian military unless there are areas where the locals actually support them.  But even then the Syrian's might be able to sift through the population and find them.

Considering the basis of the insurgents attack and how they have conducted it - there really is only one solution now that the Syrian allies have regained the upper hand in the fight.

He wanted Crimea.  He cares not much for the rest of EUke, or their deaths.  He uses their deaths to his advantage when he could have stopped it in a week.  Instead he forces them to act as he wishes by threats to cut his supplies to the EUke's unless they let their killers go.  Only to have to be killed to once agian gain the advantage on their murderers.  Only to have Putin, for a second time, force them to let their killers go.

The leader of the EUke's called this a betrayal by Putin.  I believe that commander was killed by a roadside bomb, set just for him, by people who knew where and when he would be traveling that piece of roadway.  Were the WUke's suddely so precise and skillful.

Except - the Russian involvement is not part of and suddenly they are being taken for what they claim to be. Being on the receiving end of serious military hardware was not part of the contract, so the beardos are away.

Taliban are not Arabs,

Talib-ul-ilms have been a cancer in the kingdom for century's

Talib-ul-ilms are lazy and steal to live via intimidation

If your talking about Afghanistan..then they have never been conquered. Not by any nation ever in history - Fucked Genghis Khan , Fucked Hannibal, Fucked the British Empire , run the Russians to disintegration and they are bleeding the American Empire like a goat with a razor cut to the ear.

Read about it from a young journalist..

You need to be more specific...christian is not a word anymore as far as the U.S. is concerned.  In the middle east it is different.  They are still christians and it means something. Many in Lebanon for instance, put a a small tattoo of a cross on their arm, this way they wont be tempted to take off their crucifix necklace or other such things when persecuted.. There are still christians in the world, just not in the united states. People only put down christians because here in the united states all the christians have sold themselves out. Cut their beards etc.   Well, most of them anyway.

There is good and evil in this world...People think God is bad because His name was used to fight evil in the old testament.

Leaders used the word "christian" to conquer other nations when they are not christians at all.  People have been brainwashed over the decades/centuries to look at the truth in a skewed way so some become atheists etc. They dont do the research and understand the full concept. Once you open your mind it is a beautiful thing. Wisdom and understanding is given and life begins to have meaning.  The churches have gone astray, which the bible says they would. In fact, if you look around, the accuracy of the Bible is astounding...Old Testament stories were written as a guide, and things that happened back then are still happening today. Too many are too ignorant and make up their minds before truly finding the truth. The Bible was easy to udnerstand a century ago, but people have been so dumbed down that they read the bible and scratch their heads. Just because people dont understand doesnt mean the Bible is not true.  Mike rivero for instance says he is an atheist because his sunday school teachers could not answer important questions..So because his sunday school teachers were stupid, be an atheist..makes sense to me lol...not.

That's for public consumption, what they really fanticize about is being tricked fucked by some deity. So they have been creating these little themes for at least 10,000 years to fulfill their control fetishes.It's just one immaculate conception fantasy after another and we and they all die anyway. All that fantasizing makes them horny so they take what they can get.....us.

Commit a crime, sin, what have you and then repent for your actions and all will be forgiven.

Take a look at Bohemian Grove and other assorted Illuminati groups. I believe in neither God nor Satan but there are some hard core Satan worshipers lodged deep in the government and media who pursue all sorts of bizarre criminal activity against an unsuspecting populace.

 

The most blatant example is Lt. Col Michael Aquino. First, just look at the man:

Satanic Cults in Military Part 1 Michael Aquino on Oprah Show

 

Michael Aquino joined the Church of Satan while he was an intelligence Officer in the U.S. Army.   Michael Aquino was an expert in Psychological Warfare and appeared on Oprah's Show in 1988

MindWar Paperback – April 30, 2013

by Michael A. Aquino Ph.D.

 

During his 28-year Army career, Michael Aquino was qualified in Psychological Operations, Special Forces, Civil Affairs, Defense Attaché, Foreign Area Officer, and both Strategic and Space Intelligence, resulting in his primary career designation as one of the Army’s extremely rare Politico-Military Affairs Officers. During the Vietnam War he served in Special Operations with both Army and Air Force PSYOP and Civil Operations & Revolutionary Development Support (CORDS). He is a graduate of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, the Industrial College of the Armed Forces at Fort McNair, the Intelligence School at Fort Huachuca, the Armor School at Fort Knox, the Airborne School at Fort Benning, the Defense Intelligence College at Anacostia, the Command & General Staff College and the Army Space Institute at Fort Leavenworth, and the Department of State Foreign Service Institute in Washington, D.C. After receiving the B.A., M.A., & Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, he taught International Relations, Political Philosophy, and American Foreign Policy as an Adjunct Professor at Golden Gate University in San Francisco. He also holds the M.P.A. in National Resource Management from the George Washington University. In 1975 he was initiated to the Priesthood of the ancient Egyptian god Set, and served as High Priest of his Temple until passing on that office in 1996, remaining thereafter active in the Priesthood. He thus brings to bear upon the mystery of human consciousness many decades of investigation and experience in the most obscure and exclusive esoteric arts and sciences. _MindWar_, his first openly-published book, thus harmoniously integrates the physical and the metaphysical into a coherent and complete whole, as this discipline not only implies but indeed requires.

Temple of Set

 

The Temple of Set was consecrated in Santa Barbara, California during the summer solstice of June 1975, by Michael A. Aquino, in a "greater black magic" ritual that resulted in what Aquino regards as an inspired text titled The Book of Coming Forth by Night.

CHILD ABUSE AT THE PRESIDIO

http://web.archive.org/web/20050227202721/http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/Aquinoindex.htm

Thompson had noticed changes in their daughter's behavior after placing her in Gary Hambright's class four or five times in September and October of 1986. The girl, who turned 3 in October, had begun having nightmares and would wet herself when frightened. Her parents believed it was just "a bad stage" she was going through until they heard about the Tobin boy in January. The girl was taken to a therapist at Letterman Army Medical Center in February. In therapy, the girl talked about being sexually abused by Hambright and by a man named "Mikey" and a woman named "Shamby" whose identities were unknown. On Aug. 12, 1987, the Adams-Thompsons were shopping at the PX at the Presidio. Suddenly the girl ran to Larry Adams-Thompson and clutched his leg. He looked up and saw a man whom he knew as Lt Col. Michael Aquino.

Christians also eat the most potato chips but that's simply because most Americans identify as members of one Christian sect or another. I personally don't see any link between Christianity, Judaism, Islam or atheism as a motivation for criminal activity. One would have to do a study to make any such assertion and I know that I haven't. Has anyone else here made such a study or even dug one out of the archives?

Dont' you have that sentiment inverted?  After all the only thing that survives death is your atoms which were formed by fusion in the core of stars perhaps billions of years in the past and will be recycled after you become worm food.  Religion was invented as a organized superstition to give people comfort and meaning to life before much was known about the universe and reality.  There is no evidence for a soul-its all just faith and insecurity.  What is the "composition" of the soul?  Who designed the "designer" or God?  As for me, like the great physicist and atheist Richard Feynmann once opined on his deathbed, "I don't mind not knowing".

Thanks, coast. That's all I was really looking for. I have no problem with your faith. I'm truly glad that you have something that works for you.

 

 

 

but let me ask you, what do you do as an atheist?  What do you share to others?

 

I've had, have and will continue to have what within the confines of the English language would best be described as spiritual experiences. I can appreciate such experiences but lacking real empirical evidence for the existence of unseen things (which would be  a contradiction in terms) I can make no rational claim to another that any spirit exists.

Due to its unverifiable nature the spirit can only be seen as subjective. When I interact with others in the real world I can only do so by objective measures.

HI Billy...it is unverifiable that a creator does not exist.  Not sure what I am getting at here, but it seems its just a choice. Nobody can verify anything anymore.  But asking questions might help us to find out. Sharing ideas and opinions is good too. My logic does not come from something that "works for me".  I go thru many struggles and battles.  I am not all good etc.  But in my opinion, atheists have nothing to share with me that open my mind. Maybe technology, but I dont care aout technology.  I want to go deeper into who we are. And for me, atheists just seem to make me feel no better than a monkey getting thru life and eating bananas. Or figuring out a way to open coconuts with a tool they invent. If that is all I am then why do I even exist. We are just organisms like what people look thru in a microsope.  Maybe that is all we are, I dont know, but I have found excitement and miracles in my beliefs...Along with hardship also, but feeling my spirit being forever makes me think of new things and new ideas. ..

Morality is based on reason. Injuring other individuals is personally distasteful and would lead to unwelcome consequences from Earthly beings. I understand that my right to self preservation and self defense is the same as your rights in that regard and that if we work together toward those ends then we can be more successful than if we worked independently or if we worked against each other.

Most Christian morality is simple common sense. It would be illogical for a supreme being to institute a code which did not make sense therefore reason alone should be a sufficient motivation for nonviolent behavior regardless of one's religious views.

Yes, but common sense can be stifled, which is much easier to do if your target is an atheist. Unfortunately, atheism gives little protection against manipulation.

After years of observation of catholics and orthodox vs atheists in my EU country, I am positive about that. I repeat, unfortunately.
I yet have to see one atheist who hasn't, at some point, lost his common sense to slide into some self-serving fallacy or some social fad.

I presume that's why the PTB hate catholics and orthodox... too hard to manipulate. That may also be why they try to promote atheism.

The six Catholics and three Jews on the SCOTUS brought us Obamacare and gay marriage.

From one of the wisest men in history:

  18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

And a prophet: 
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

This is major stuff here. The globalists have taken the vision and knowledge from us.  Even I am not even close to the truth because of my upbringing, but I do know truth when I see it.  I also reject the priests and evangelicals and pastors because they have ignored the basic laws of nature.  I tell ya, the Bible and finding truth is the most exciting and rewarding experience this temporary life has to offer as our spirits dwell in these temporary vessels.

This is the knowledge we of Isaiah's actual true and prophesied "Israel," America, must come to understand, that God be restored as our only Sovereign, and the Beast be cast down:

Don Bolles taught America Arizona is an Organized Crime-controlled state, as did Texas demonstrate itself to be under "Big Oil on Murder and Arson" Rockefeller(Bush)/Organized Crime-control with its complicity in the Knight of Malta-led Roman Catholic CIA's (under the field supervision of George HW Bush and Richard Nixon) adjudicated assassination of President Kennedy ('Hunt v. Marchetti') to restore Rome's FedScam JFK had ended, and to keep us as papal catspaw in Indochina for the five percent Roman Catholic colonial false-elite which owned 95% of Vietnam's wealth, after President Kennedy had ordered our military withdrawal (viz. NSAM263).

The father of the woman McCain lay with, to betray the faithful wife who waited, was connected to those who, with impunity, martyred Don Bolles.

Roman Catholic McCain was raised on Capitol Hill. He now pretends a "cover" of some other "religion."

In his autobiography McCain brags his family, for centuries, were mercenaries fighting for the papacy. Guess whose ancestors his were seeking to keep enslaved to kings and popes and homos?

A: America's Founders'.

Once we got away from monarchy and popery and established Isaiah's true and prophesied "Zion," the actual "New Israel" acknowledging only God Almighty as "the King of America" (viz. "Common Sense," Th. Paine), McCain's ancestors came over with their papal funds (Rome was the false-Jew Talmud/papist-run "Wall Street of slavery for over 2,000 years after they impaled tens of thousands of Christs and Immanuel to build Satan's Seat) and establshed themselves, along with many other Rothschild-minion papist/monarchist false-Jew Talmud Khazars and Caesaropapists, with slave plantations in Mississippi. Their sons are maintained in flag ranks and high public office by "the real Anti-Christ's" Fifth Column faction's "de facto" fascist "Directorate." See: "Kay Griggs" on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQNitCNycKQ
We Black and White "whigs" (viz. "anti-Roman Catholic") came to America in covenant with God, the perfect, infinite, eternal, living, present, ineffable, invisible, holy, righteous, and unique Creator of the universe, to flee McCain's satanic Talmud false-Jew/Zio-papist, Thomas Jefferson-identified "engine for enslaving mankind" faction which re-conquered us with the "Civil War" and Roman Catholic assassination of President Lincoln, and nailed their logo, the Fasces, perfectly antithetical to the utopian Deist/Capitalist/Protestant ("Cross of St. Andrew") ideals upon which The Founding took place, to the front wall of the U.S. House, to prove it.

Econ majors never wonder that America is now a "de facto" fascist state?
McCain murdered 134 sailors and officers on the flight deck of the Forrestal, and moronically (by evidence he provides) threw away his fifth plane over Hanoi to become the Songbird (not trusting his fellow POW's and God could nurse his broken bones) - never tortured - with injuries to his body from an incompetent ejection - of course - next to the "goat" of his class at Annapolis.

His grandfather was relieved of his command during WWII for disobeying direct orders in throwing away a ship and crew in a typhoon; and his father was complicit, with sex pervert and bigamist LBJ, in atheist Herzl's and Vatican banker Rothschilds' "State of Israel's" attack on the USS Liberty, the same satanic Putin-identified Holodomor-committing, Holohoaxing, Zionist element whose Mossad was instrumental to "Vatican-running" Knight of Malta-grandson and homosexual psychopath, George W. Bush's and Cheney's 9/11 false-flag treason.

It is past time for the Beast now upon the American People to be, by grace, cast down, that holiness and righteousness be restored to Our Land. It won't be jumping into the pit of full expropriation and judicial execution on its own.

Death for Treason - Vindication and Appreciation for Kay Griggs' Godly witness - Justice for John and Martin, and Pat Tillman, and for our war and 9/11 dead.

Here is a firsthand account by a Christian Science Monitor reporter during the Battle of Najaf in Iraq in 2004, of how a Shia Muslim fighter near death was miraculously healed, and then went back to fighting the American Christians who had invaded his land:

 

http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0826/p06s01-woiq.html

 

"A few blocks away, Doctor Hassan visits Raad Rishad, who received shrapnel wounds in his abdomen, X-rays showed the shrapnel near his heart. But when doctors took the second set of X-rays, before surgery, the shrapnel disappeared.

 

Mr. Rishad says it was a miracle by the Mahdi, or Messiah, himself. "I had a dream, in which I saw two men, one dressed in black, and one dressed in white," he says. "The man in white told me that I would be all right, the shrapnel is already gone, because he had already removed it from me. Later, the doctor checked the wound he said there was nothing there. I'm sure the operation in the dream was real."

"This is the reason we are fighting," Rishad adds, "to prepare the way of the Mahdi. This is not just for our freedom or the protection of our homes."

Doctor Hassan admits that Rishad has made a remarkable recovery, but he worries that Rishad may be a bit too eager to return to battle. Already, just 10 days after being wounded in the first battle, Rishad showed up at another fight with American forces. Doctor Hassan, himself fighting with a Kalashnikov, told him to go home."

Al-Ciada in Syria & Iraq is not really a religious movement.  It's mercenaries and gangs with some Orc handlers mixed in to steer them.  The over-the-top religious nonsense is meant for foreign and domestic propaganda.

Cut out the American evangelical bullshit please. ZH is an international website and very few of us around the world fall for the simplistic, childlike narrative stupid American Protestants have been falling for. A huge part of the problem we're all having at this moment in time is American self-righteous, obnoxious, simple-minded so-called Christians seeking to impose their stupid mindset on the rest of the world. Cut it the fuck out.

FATCA - quite an extraordinary act, and conclusive proof that the US authorities are completely removed from reality. By coincidence I opened a bank account (in Ireland) on Friday, and had to answer a question about any connections I have with the US. I have no connections whatsoever with the US. I would really like to know what gives the US authorities the right to ask European citizens this question, and to prevent them from opening accounts if they refuse to answer it. Deluded f**kin arseholes.
