US Has Secret, "Non-Negotiable" Plan To Send 100,000 US, Saudi Troops To Iraq, Lawmaker Claims
“For every seven Shiites killed, we want seven Sunnis [killed] in their place.”
That rather alarming declaration comes from outspoken Iraqi lawmaker Hanan Al-Fatlawi. Not known for holding her tongue, the Shia MP inflamed sectarian tensions with her eye for an eye tirade in the summer of 2014, prompting Diana Moukalled, the Web Editor at the Lebanon-based Future Television to pen the following sharp rebuke:
No one will be safe from the worsening situation in Iraq; and many parties are guilty. But for the prime minister [ZH: al-Maliki at the time] and MPs from his coalition to turn the bloody discourse of sectarian violence into an official language is a major moment in history, 10 years into the experiment that is the new Iraq.
In another infamous TV appearance turned ugly, the firebrand lawmaker was once accused of being an Iranian puppet by a Sunni tribal leader from Anbar (where Iraq is now fighting to wrest control of Ramadi from ISIS). “You should be ashamed of yourselves, a quarter of you came from a broad and you sold Iraq. We don't know you; who are you? we don’t know your origins. We are not leaders of parties or militias, we are tribal leader and we speak for the people.” he said.
In January, Fatlawi withdrew from Maliki's State of Law coalition to form her own political movement called Irada (Arabic for "will"). She’s also suggested - as has Iran - that the US is secretly supporting Islamic State. Here’s an interesting excerpt from an article Huffington Post ran back in March:
“A lot of events happened in multiple places supporting the opinion that the U.S. in one way or another supports ISIS -- giving them food or arms,” Hanan al-Fatlawi, an outspoken Shia member of parliament, said by phone. She has publicly stated that the United States may be secretly throwing its weight behind the extremist Sunni militants who have violently seized control of large swaths of Iraq and Syria. She points to a blast in the restive Anbar province, where Sunni tribesmen are battling ISIS, that killed dozens of Iraqi troops, saying that it was the Americans who killed them. She's not alone in her views.
“Many people in Iraq believe me,” she explained. “They believe that ISIS is probably a baby of the USA or a baby of Israel.”
Al-Fatlawi says she’s suspicious of U.S. involvement in the battle to retake Tikrit that stalled 10 days ago. While Iraqi officials cited the need for more well-trained reinforcements to help clear the heavily booby-trapped city, she has a different story: The United States made Iraqi forces halt the offensive to help ISIS, or so that the Americans could swoop in and save the day, claiming victory as their own.
Most of all, Al-Fatlawi says, she just can’t believe that the United States, with all of its weaponry, military intelligence and international sway, would have this much trouble taking out ISIS. It just doesn’t add up, she says.
Indeed.
Well now, Fatlawi contends that according to "information [she] has from inside the meeting," John McCain last month told PM Haider Al-Abadi that the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE are set to send in a total of 100,000 troops to Iraq. Here's a screenshot of Fatlawi's Facebook post:
And here's RT with a bit more:
During a meeting in Baghdad on November 27, McCain told Prime Minister Haider Abadi and a number of senior Iraqi cabinet and military officials that the decision was ‘non-negotiable’, claimed Hanan Fatlawi, the head of the opposition Irada Movement.
“A hundred thousand foreign troops, including 90,000 from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Jordan, and 10,000 troops from America will be deployed in western regions of Iraq,” she wrote on her Facebook page.
She added that the Iraqi prime minister protested the plan, but was told that “the decision has already been taken.”
As RT goes on to note, that may sound far-fetched but it's not at all inconsistent with what Lindsey Graham (who joined McCain on the trip) said in Iraq and what McCain himself said yesterday in the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing with Ash Carter.
From Graham last month: “Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey – they have regional armies and they would go into the fight if we put [the removal of] Assad on the table. Most of the fight will be done by the region. They will pay for this war."
From McCain on Wednesday: “A small component of American forces with international forces, which could be gathered and then go in and take out this caliphate. If we went in with a large Arab force, with Turks and Egyptians even … there’s 20,000 to 30,000 of them [ISIS fighters], they are not giants.”
Well guess what? The Turks are already there. They arrived with two dozen tanks near Mosul last Friday.
"I've personally reached out to 40 countries," Carter told the committee, which is ironic because that's the exact same number of countries Putin says are supporting ISIS. Here's WaPo:
He specifically named the Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, and Turkey as needing to put more skin in the game. Turkey, Carter said, “must do more” to control its long border with Syria that many ISIS fighters cross undetected, and criticized Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, which had joined “only the air part” of the anti-ISIS campaign in its early days, for becoming “preoccupied” by the conflict in Yemen since.
Yes, "preoccupied" with the conflict in Yemen, which is of course just a proxy war between Riyadh and Tehran, as is the war in Syria. Interestingly, were the Saudis, the UAE, and Qatar to get overtly (as opposed to the covert support they already provide to various Sunni extremists) involved in Iraq, it would be yet another attempt to rollback Iranian influence.
As we've said all along, all of these conflicts are part and parcel of a Mid-East power struggle between Russia and Iran on one side, and the US, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states on the other (see here, here, and here). Recall this map which shows Moscow and Tehran encircling the Saudis:
ISIS is simply everyone's excuse for participating in what amounts to a world war. All that's needed to take the "proxy" out of this regional proxy war is for Iran to get overtly involved in Yemen (as opposed to fighting through their Houthi proxies), for Russia to get the airstrike invite from Baghdad, and for the Gulf states to bring planes and troops to Iraq.
You can see why a Shiite lawmaker in Baghdad would be hypersensitive to a plan that allegedly involves an invasion by 100,000 US and Gulf troops.

You ever seen Sunni radicals call out Shiites? They will refer to them as apostate's, zoroastrians, magicians, wizards, worshipers of false idols.. Hell I've even seen them called MORMONS!
On the surface it seems simple, as in who's the next boss - but thanks to ( primary the wahhabi retard gene ) it's morphed into something much more.
Islam is very much political...and power...based....not unlike Christianity.....in the Middle Ages....
Islam isn't purely a religion. It's also a political system, judicial system, social system, etc.
"You Saudis go on ahead...yeah...don't worry...we'll be right behind you"
Words, unfortunately, that we won't be hearing.
The saudis are such a military Juggernaut, that they've lost 6 naval vessels in their war in yemen thus far, against an opponent with no navy.
Memo to America: Fuck Off - You are no longer welcome here.
Key ingredient to touch off WWIII. It's secret!
McCain should be euthanized
It is the only humane treatment for rabid dogs.
And Neo-con Zombies.
What does McCains little sidekick "Flimsey" Graham have to say about this?
"McCain should be euthanized"
He just needs to be directed to the right cocktail party. QED.
McCain has to be near death anyway. Just wait. tick-tock tick-tock...
"Today thy soul is required of thee McCain..."
No getting hopeful for a quick resolution. Kissinger and Darth Cheney are still here.
If the overt target was ISIS and the covert target was Assad then Russia would have to react.
The whole of the Gulf and Saudi are within range of those pesky little boats in the Caspian with their now well proven and demonstrated Kalibr cruise missiles.
No doubt the Saudis are well aware of just how vulnerable their oil infrastructure is to guerilla attack, perhaps by terrorists who might believe they have been double crossed. One suspects that quite a few people in the world would be pretty happy if Saudi crude output plummeted for a while.
Please, the Putin fan club refuses to take notice.
The target (or one of them) is Assad. That has been clear to the rest of us. Russia does not react to NATO only the proxy.
Who cares about those boats? NATO flies into Syria and bombs Syrian troops - no reaction. Turkey sends troops into Syria and takes ground - no reaction. The US starts building an air base in NE Syria - no reaction. Turkey shoots down a Russian jet in Syria - no reaction. They take down a Russian airliner - no reaction.
As far a the Saudis. Nothing happened while Iraq, Libya, no Syria were destroyed, Turkey just moved into Iraq - nothing happened, why would Putin grow a pair against 100,000 US/France/Germany/UK troops?
I know - Now Putin's Gonna Do Something!! or Putin's Plays Chess That Is Why He Does Nothing!!
Putin ez beeg man! You are leetle boy!
This is about missile porn!
What do you expect him to do?
As far as I ( a Russki who grew up in the west ) can see, the west is slowly unravelling of its own accord.
Put(in) upt or shut(in) upt!
Agree...Why should Putin act if the dollar destruction is proceeding on schedule. Why start a war when your adversary is going to be too broke to fight in a few month?
Let nature take its course...she was a good ole dollar she was...
The biggest fire in 25 yrs just happened/is happening in Moscow at a factory in the city.
They have no fear of Putin. He does nothing.
Your English is amazing for a paid Ukranian shill. At least I hope you are. I mean otherwise you would need to be a half-wit useful idiot who shills for free!
Uhmm... 7-7=0? ...Hmmmm...that sounds like a good Deal to me!
I'm in !
That Iraqi Shiite women nailed it. Of course the Mooslem-in-Chief not only created IS from the dust but also keeps supporting those niggahs.
This is probably the largest gaffe in US history and foreign policy since the Vietnam war. Possibly transcending it in potential ramifications.
And it´s very rapidly coming your way , stateside.
Do naive americans have any inkling of the amount scepticism that you are percieved with - around the non-Sunni part of the world? Like Europe.
You are , in fact , a colon fistula spreading shit and pus across the rest of the civilized world.
Let me start by saying US foreign policy since the founding of the Deep State officially in 1947 has been more or less a non-stop shit show of spending our treasure and the blood of our young men on awful corporate/bankster wars against the general desires of the populace. Post-9/11 that has become a meth fueled orgy of Clean Break/PNAC Neo-Con fucktardedness. With that said, when I see a European complain about American imperialism, unless they are from Central Europe, Ireland or Scotland my thoughts are usually along the lines of, "go fuck yourself".
Yeah the poor, poor EU member states would NEVER act in an imperialist way. Certainly not for centuries on end fomenting genocide and internecine conflict world wide. Yeah poor old Europe just an innocent group of peaceniks.
Let's see how Europe responds to the US removing all our military protection. I for one am sick of spending our defense budget to protect Europeans who use those savings to live high on the hog because they don't have to spend vast amounts on a military. The US does their dirty work and has for a long, long time
"US foreign policy since the founding of the Deep State officially in 1947 has been more or less a non-stop shit show of spending our treasure and the blood of our young men on awful corporate/bankster wars against the general desires of the populace."
They're not working for Jesus? Say it's not so!!
Protection?
You're not protecting Europe, you're occupying Europe.
If US is occupying Europe, then we need to start taxing you guys for the stationing of our legions. As tributaries you aren't giving us a whole lot.
Now if the US was instead wasting it's treasure protecting Europe so European elites could focus on diluting and destroying European culture to pave the way for a European centric world government modeled on the EU...well that would just plain make a lot more sense. The US is getting next to nothing out of it's "occupation" of Europe.
Now Germany could say Anglo powers are occupying Germany and that I could buy into. As far as I can tell the US never really got out from under the Brits and their Zionist buddies.
War of 1812, Rothschilds letter to US president about the Bank of the United States and all that. Total surrender to European banking entities occurred in 1913 with the founding of the Fed which is a European banking franchise. Our FED answers to the BIS which is in Europe. Yeah, the US clearly is occupying Europe.
Sir,
In fact we share a common view. It´s really refreshing to meet an American who would be comfortable with Europe re-arming and acting as an independent entity. We are 500 million and our economy is larger than yours. Somehow I have the suspicion that such an entity rolling up it´s sleeves and going to work would make the US policy makers very,very uneasy.
In fact I can point out numerous of instances where previous attempts to do so has been deep-sixed by the State department. Just starting our own space program for military use , such as independent GPS services has met with steadfast opposition from the US. But we did it anyway.
You know - we may arrive at somewhat different conclusions that you will,at times.
Perhaps we will tell Obama that creating , supporting , supplying and protecting Al Qaeda and IS really is not a good idea. And turning Europe into a garrison city for those crazies...we aint gonna have it.
Of course this "refugee crisis" is to the US advantage. After all Putin can´t really bomb them to hell when they live in France. And your administration really covets those fanatics.
De Gaulle was right. And he was constantly undermined by previous US administrations.
You know - you cant´s have it both ways. Either you accept that we may have different views on some things and have the guns to back ourselves up. Or not.
Democrats and Republicans, Parties of Peace, Parties of Peace....you are getting sleeeeepppyyyy.
Christians who work in the USAF in CO control drones remotes, and bomb and kill people via the press of a button everyday. Then go to Church on Sunday.
Humans are wretched, no matter the religion. But especially Protestants, Jews, and Evangelicals, who really think the entire world is theirs to own.
Most Americans are politically secular and pretty tired of religion getting into the mix. We could be persuaded to fight but not just because of one's view on the almighty.
That´s because they take orders from the Mooslem-in-Chief. You gotta hand it to the Moslem Brotherhoo that they really got it right , this time. Infiltrate the right circles and ...presto...you get what you want.
The U.S. seems infestated with MB, diverse Trotskyites,Zionists and crazy neo-cons. And no it´s not a question of religion - but the mooslems are presently very rapidly using up all the extra tolerance in the western world ...and then when the proverbial shit hits the fan - I wouldn´t wanna be in their place.
Matbe Donald Tusk of Poland has some extra space for them...wink,wink.
LOL. How true, how true. Here's a nice quote from the Urban Dictionary, regarding Christianity... (Warning, if you're a self-righteous Bible-thumber, you won't like it and may be tempted to junk the Messenger):
- - -
"A really cool religion, because if you follow it, then you can go around raping, beating, and killing people. And as long as you confess your sins at the end of the day and repent, you'll go to heaven!!!!!
I masturbate fifteen times a day, but I'm going to heaven because I tell God that I love him, after I'm done!"
---
That is pretty funny but the problem is that it is describing catholicism, not christianity. They are not the same thing.
Eeeh. I think you somewhat misguidedly is referrin to catholicism. However if you look at indigenous practises within the different world religions I think you will find much higher prevalence of rape,beheadings,cutting off hands,flogging,killing and generally looking at non-adherents of your own religion as grazing cattle and yourself as wolves - this within the followers of Allah.
Now - we will be slowly seeing a development like in Israel with checkpoints and 30 feet high concrete walls and shooting on the spot of transgressors.
I have based on my own observation reevaluated my previous opinion that folks in different parts of the world basically are the same. They are not.
The reason their part of the world is a bottom-less cesspit may in fact be...themselves , their culture and their ideology. And they tend to bring their ingrained view of the world with them when they migrate.
You know - the mafia didn´t originate in the U.S. This is the same on a vastly larger scale.
It´s not us - it´s them. Too bad that US policy makers do not attend music events in Europe. Bodyguards won´t do them any good in such a situation.
But these things are coming your way. Fast.

Egypt TV Host: Obama is a TRAITOR!Meh. An eye for an eye is as old as do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I expect that if I went and murdered someone that someone would eventually want to murder me in return. I'm no muslim, just a human.
They hate us for our John MCains.
These lunatics are going to get us all killed in their impossible quest to rule the entire world.
This is a re-run article by Orlov that really nails the big picture.
The Imperial Collapse Playbookhttp://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-imperial-collapse-playbook.html
I'd like to see Tyler and D'mitry kiss and make up; it was nice having his articles on ZH.
Dmitry has some good ideas, but he's got some really weird blind spots.
For instance, he has totally bought into the global warming scam.
Really undermines his credibility.
Take what you consider important and leave the rest. Works in all walks of life.
Too much junk science from all sides for me to have an informed opinion. I bet there's a lot of new, fancy pollution though.
America is like a dumb uncle who thinks he knows how to fix the weird sound your car is making. You end up with the entire engine taken apart and strewn across the garage floor.
And then he kills your whole family with a drone.
Just before he starts a fire and burns down the house.
The dumb uncle meant well.
Big difference.
NPR has the 'tards singing that song now. Hardcore anti-interventionist liberals explain away the crimes of the Magic Negro (similar crimes they had such a problem with in '01 - '08) by saying that the light unto nations only wanted to bring democracy to the lands of our once-favored strongmen, and it just, well...kinda got out of hand - which I believe is bullshit to the nth degree as anyone with any sense would have stopped long after the Iraq debacle (if the actual goal wasn't MIC enrichment, pipeline control or israeli hegemony hidden under the democracy rubric). Ultimately their defense of Magic Negro and his neo-Soviet cohorts is, "we meant well."
You forgot the part where he intentionally put sugar in the gas tank before the car started acting up and then selling you a real piece of shit when your car dies (as in a million pieces strewn about the floor, much like body parts at a wedding with unannounced guests from above).
Yes. The Peace Prize winner has fucked shit up for sure. But can you imagine how bad it would be if that crazy warmongering bastard had won? And what about his certified nincumfuckingpoop running mate? Holy shit!
OP: ISIS is simply everyone's excuse for participating in what amounts to a world war.
But can you imagine how bad it would be if that crazy warmongering bastard had won?
It's comong anyway, Obummer or no.
McCain probably would have nuked twelve countries, and that would have been during his first term. Second term he would have really gotten down to business and started nuking the United States.
If you like your McCain, you can keep your McCain.
JHFC, will someone else please keep our John McCain before he gets us all killed?
Arizona can keep their McCain and keep him away from our nation's capitol.
This falls under poo flinging monkeys. Nobody wants to play in the cesspool they created, but everybody has an axe to grind...and the band played on..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9poCAuYT-s
Who Flung Cum?
Brilliant! Heads we lose, tails they win. If McCain had been elected the US would probably already be knee deep in a nuclear war with Russia. With Obama we are up to our necks in Muslim terrorists and sedition among the elite. What's a normal American to do?
The sane option IMO is to vote Trump as the nationalist candidate and tell the rest of the world to clean up the mess we made. Things won't necessarily get better but we can stop making them worse.
Interesting I made a comment about Trumps gulf state real estate and what should come across the wire but gulf state elites dumping Trump. Also Bibi criticizing Trump for immigration reforms that would match Israeli policies. Huh.
Buy a better scope for your rifle, oh, and practice...
In April 2008 Putin put the nuclear option on the table in regards to NATO membership action plan for Georgia and Ukraine, at which point Germany and France came to their senses (temporarily), McCain, not so much.
In August 2008, John McCain's buddy Mikheil Saakashvili instigated the Russo-Georgian War with the Battle of Tskhinvali. Despite what Putin has said only 4 months earlier, McCain was all for US troops into Georgia and "saving Saakashvili".
Saakashvili is now a wanted criminal in Georgia, and yet is serving in the government of Ukraine, and where McCain is busy war mongering for a troop presence, when he isn't busy trying to kill Americans in Iraq.
THIS. SHIT. NEVER. CHANGES.
John McCain is actually one of the largest threats to world peace, unlike the trivial stuff that the current US President has argued justifies the assassination by drone of US citizens and their families, and yet McCain continues breathing.
Saakashvilli citizenship recently revoked by Georgia but wanted for crimes
so hated in Odessa..
Lets hope they are at least feeding him a steady diet of Ukrainean ties...
I hate us for our John McCains. We keep re-electing him; we don't put a stop to people like him. He does these things because we allow him to.
"We keep re-electing him"??
Are you fron Arizona?
Sun stroked out lobotomites keep re-electing him
Awesome! I'm sick of this cold war redux let's get ww3 goign already. Remeber when Germany had to call up every man to service up to the age of 60. Better start getting in shape.
Lets hope Iraq defends itself from all these savages.
Not looking good.
Fuck the United snakes of jewUSSA ! What an abortion of a country.
Hey Allen, I understand your sentiments. However, not all of us in the USA are scoundrels. I know some people who are genuinely trying to live in peace and with justice. Hopefully, some of the good guys will survive.
Iraq couldn't defend itself from a pack of Brownies hurling Girl Scout cookies.

You a big man, why dont you go show them how you fight, you are a terrorist sypathiser it seems.
As a part of getting in shape, may I suggest regularly walking your dog? Oh, you don't have a dog? Then get a Rhodesian Ridgeback. They are lion fighters, literally. They will easily own all the dogs in your neighborhood. More importantly, anyone who enters your compound uninvited will also be pwned.
http://www.bigdogbreeds101.com/dogs/rhodesian-ridgeback/
LOL. I walk my Jack Russel everyday, does that count? My Jack Russel makes all others bow down and cower in fear.
That's nothing.
My Yorkie does Iron Man triathalons with me, riding shotgun in a converted Camelback hydration carrier.
He is trained to jump up and rip the nuts off of any intruders - then, they cower in fear.
He tries to hump all the dogs in my neighborhood. Cats, too.
Horny little bugger.
well, teacup pom no pushover...
Give me a couple Ridgebacks and Kangals. Although it would break my heart to see them get 'Ruby Ridge'd.
friend had half russel half spitz half rat terrier something I think..that was mean sobaka killed full raccoon when few
months old, but lost eye. Never needed that much patch again, but go in hole or under bldg hours fight anything
I taught my Border Collies how to read! After two years of schooling, I gave them a test. I put up a sign in the house: DOGS! NO SMOKING IN THE HOUSE!
They passed the test!
I LOVE Border Collies. The smartest of all dogs. Smarter than half my friends actually.
I am presently training my 4th dog. He is a wonder. I honestly believe the Democrats should put up a Border Collie to run against McCain in the next election.
The people would have a genuine choice and the smart people of Arizona would choose the smarter of the two. The Border Collie. He could fix your border issues, he has a black and white outlook on most things and when it comes to the Middle East he'd piss on any guy wearing a dress and round em up nd push em back to where they belong.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are poosies in snow.
Also, why get a dog that is unsocialized and unsocializable.
I wasn't talking about a pet to take to tea parties. You want an animal that will protect your family.
My environment does not get snow so wasn't a part of my consideration.
Alabai we have owned 20 dogs these are best dog
I have friend RuAF Seargent She 105# trains works all dogs including caucasian..she agrees these for
domestic with space, but must have purpose, active duty watch family, livestock,duty, active rest
no toy and of three most powerful of world other kangal and caucasian shepherd
you don't want caucasian shepherd unless bad wolf problem..army and prisons use these
Alibai is same strength, calm and joins kids eats less than would think
Russian type is more domestic, Turkmen live with herds

Ridgeback is special purpose, light weight, tempermental
Contrary to popular belief, War Sucks.
Not if you are a banker, they love them, especially when they support both sides.
With an internal 'Chinese Wall' of course.
Well, that would jolt those who are no longer in the job market.
Would that include Permanent Residents (Green Card), or just Citizens?
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Thanks again, George W. Bush.
Sadly, the invasion of Iraq was conjured up long for that scum fuck W. was in office.
Easy to blame somebody else .... thank the brainwashed dumb and ignorant sheeple which via their votes brought the Neocons to power.
More than once.
G.W.Bush was just one of their (somewhat dumber) puppets.
Were the people really given a choice? Seriously. Think about it.
This is why the campaigns before the primaries count.
If you want a decent person in office, you have to get him onto the ballot.
The MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner wasn't dubya's idea . . .skipper of the carrier put it up there. He lucked out . . .if his CIC was Obama, he would have had a keelhauling in his future.
McCain must be wanking himself into a coma.
We can only hope he succeeds...

Veterans today is garbage, anit-gun propganda mouth piece.
Headline should read...
"100,000 Troops Needed in Iraq to bolster ISIS"
And not a single Democrat would blink. Probably no one on CNN or Fox either.
Nor a single campus or street protest either. That's how low we have sunk, and how high we stink as a Nation of universal values and principles.
Trump is the nation's best and last hope at making America great again. And at saving the European culture that built this country.
This woman is on crack.
Meaning, she's on crack if she really thinks the US has a plan to send 100k troops to Iraq.
Every woman is on crack!
No wonder why they got rid of Hagel, they needed a corporate hack in there to say yes to whatever TPTB/bankers/prezzy want.
Treason. What will be the spark. And who will rise up to stop this madness for a certain 2 people involved (JM, LG).
John McCain needs to go away.....he is completely fucking insane!
We as a country are rotting away from the inside and the veneer is paper thin!
Fuck off!!
He and Lindsey take their orders from Netanyahu.

they are traitors and should be treated as such.
More likely that they take their orders for the Saudis.
Agree that they are traitors and should be treated as such.
It is humorous that Lindsey Graham is polling so poorly in his home state. Hopefully, the good people of South Carolina will primary him into retirement.
I guess it's time to buy more Raytheon, Lockeed Martin, and Boeing stock. It's done pretty well since Obozo came to the Oval Office. Hellfire missles and Apache Attack Helicopters aren't cheap.
Should have done that several yrs ago:

Imperialism in the Middle East - A Century of Violence
Whenever the US has acted to impose its will on an occupied country such as vietnam, afghanistan and iraq, its always resulted in strong resistance (often heroic) from the populations affected. After WW2, the US enjoyed good standing amongst the arabs in the middle east, particularly after its intervention in the conflict over the attempted invasion and annexation of Suez canal in 1956. This all ended with its support for israel in the 1967 war, allowing the zionist colonial state to annex more arab land including East Jerusalem. For centuries, the arabs fought the european christian kingdoms for control of Jerusalem, and eventually prevailed. For centuries, Jerusalem was an arab city but now arabs are being squeezed and isolated in an enclave, surrounded by large jewish settlements.
When the US invaded iraq in 2003, the iraqi people had already suffered through years of hardship. After the gulf war had ended in 1991, the US and UK continued to bomb iraq right up to 2003. Now, after 25 years of near constant bombing, the americans are still no closer to exercising control over the sunni tribes of Mesopotamian, either directly or by proxy. And now they're also being bombed by France, Turkey and Russia. This occurs while Europe turns its back on the civilian refugees fleeing the bombing. It appears that the more the imperial powers bomb the sunnis, the more they resist. The arabs have centuries of experience in resisting imperial powers trying to exercise control over their lands. In the last century they refused the rule of subservient govts - govts established by, or propped up and heavily influenced by the western imperial powers. The revolt by the sunnis in syria and iraq has attracted support from sympathizers in other parts of the arab world.
Sadly, division and conflict within the Arab world is mostly of their own making. While religious and political divisions
continue to exist, the imperial powers will continue to exploit them for their own benefit. Lasting peace will only be achieved through the creation of a unified regional order, propelled by the forces of pan-Islam or pan-Arabism. Expelling the imperial powers and taking control of oil production in the region will bring them improved living standards and immense influence in world affairs, something that has eluded the islamic world.
Support from the greater islamic world will obviously greatly aid their cause. There's little the americans can do to prevent the inflow of fighters into arabia. Recruitment networks are already well established. They won't quit afghanistan for fear of an influx of battle hardened taliban guerrilla fighters. The american invasion and occupation of arab lands triggered a lot of resentment and anger in the islamic world. Russian and French spilling of arab blood have only made things worse. The imperialists always tag those who resist their authority or threaten their interests as terrorists. The imperialists in Moscow and Paris that make these decisions are well protected, however the populations they espouse to protect are exposed to reprisal attacks.
Given its wealth, the US will often try to buy a favourable settlement to a dispute for the sake of expediency. The one thing that angered the americans, was that they could buy off the Egyptian generals, but not saddam, no matter how hard they tried. He was an elite that remained loyal to the arab nationalist cause to the very end. His downfall started with the ill advised attack on the islamic revolution in Iran. The revolution failed to expand into arabia, possibly because their attentions were turned to self preservation, fighting a brutal and costly 10 year war. The americans decided to weaken and later depose the Iraqi bathists, allowing the revolution to spread to Iraq.
The spent and tired Assad regime is now totally dependent on Russia and Iran for its survival. In 1979, the USSR saved its client regime in Kabul from collapse only to get bogged down in an imperial war against islamic guerilla fighters.
The various tribal and religious groupings of the ME are like pieces being pushed around a chess board by the imperial powers - US, Iran, Russia and Turkey. The US supports Kurdish self determination. They hope to gain a new oil producing client state. The UK and France support the US and act as enforcer states of the american empire.
Iran & Russia make strange bedfellows. Iranian clerics believe that a pan-islamic order is the best way to counter
unrelenting imperialism in the region. Some believe that their real aim is to recreate the Persian empire through regional hegemony. They're gaining influence with shia arabs, building stronger bonds through the creation of religious and humanitarian aid networks, and providing military training. The americans vehemently oppose the formation of pan-islamic order as it threatens their interests in the region.
The americans are contemplating going back into iraq with ground troops. Having experienced the hard face of american imperialism during the insurgent wars 2003-07, this is likely to inflame the arabs even more. A stock pile of 10,000 IEDs awaits them. The right wing zionist political and corporate elite in the US are getting jittery. They're afraid that things may spiral out of control. Client arab regimes such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait may be threatened by militant islam. Populists like Trump calling for another all out invasion.
The US is technically at war with Russia due to Russia's unilateral annexation of parts of the Ukraine. The US is militarizing the eastern border of its empire in response to what it perceives as russian aggression and to reassure eastern European states of its commitment to their security. The US is hampered by europe's dependency on russian gas. Once this dependence is overcome, the borders will be closed and the gas taps turned off in an attempt to cripple the russian economy. Europe is a part willing, part reluctant captive of the US empire. With the defection of the Ukraine, the Russian empire continues to shrink in size.
A lot of this seems plausible. I agree that Iraq and Syria have become a territory on which the US attempts to finally destroy the Russian Republic economically by replacing a significant part of Russian gas deliveries to Europe with gas from Qatar, for which purpose the Kurds and or Assad need to be removed / destroyed to build the pipeline through parts of Iraq or Syria to Turkey. The price war on the oil market masks the long-term economical silliness and inviability of this plan (if this plan should indeed exist). The stakes are high in this conflict and the risks gigantic since Russia is a nuclear superpower. The public is made to believe this conflict were about Assad or IS. Both is presumably wrong. It is about energy and the future of Russia and the multipolar world. The final word on the conflict and its outcome will presumably be spoken by China. Let us hope that their wise men come to the right decision. The US sacrifices it shale industry to subdue Russia and is wasting a valuable resource that can not be replaced. The consequence will be a very high oil price in the more distant future and an economically even stronger Russia if it should survive the current crisis. One can only hope that civilized people all around the globe speak up against this military nonsense in the desert.
Despite some support from Iran, the Saudi war on the people of Yemen isnt really a 'proxy war with Iran' at all - that is what the Ziomedia paints it as, of course.

This demonization tactic should be familiar, even if zh isnt primarily a foreign policy analysis site (?).
Its actually and actual war on the independence of Yemen after a large part of that population decided they didnt like being ruled by a US/Saudi puppet regime. Thats not all of it - but thats most of it for the Houthi.

Consider the Zio rag The American Interest's spin:

Sure, people resisting a Saudi invasion are just 'isis.'
Salafists helping 'iranian backed' Shia against Salafist Arabia rather than helping Sunni palestinians against Jews. At all.
Cute.

Never say that those maniacs dual citizens will end killing you.... I mean you all have your guns you'd better start using them to take back the country.
McCain and Lindsey Graham are great patriots
Trump was right "
'I like people who weren't captured'"Great patriots for Isis and Israel.
The US, Saud, and Turkey are about to make Iraq an offer it can't refuse.
Positive feedback/self reinforcing cycle: The more arms the US sends to ISIS, the bigger/stronger they get, and therefore the "need" to send even more arms and money to "fight" them.
And Folks this is what happens when you vote a crook from chicago political machine with ZERO experience to run the free world. True Leadership from Behind with Reggie driving!
The baffoon Bush? Oh, forget about the FF 9/11, forget about WMD's. forget about bank bail-outs, forget all that shit and blame the latest puppet.
And Russia will do nothing...LOL!!!
A few dozen ERWs would achieve substantially more and do so in about 96hrs.

(H)ash Carter's been trying to Reach Out. I'd love to Reach Out to Carter and Strangle his pathetic lying skinny neck.
what are they going to do fight russia
The Battle of Meggido draws closer.
Oil is passe.
I don't understandwhy there is this persistent 20th century view that whoever controls the middle east can control the world. It's like the US's sea power strategy from the 1800's.
Huh? Its Great Game theory and more appropriately, adherence to MacKinder's

I'm sorry I missed the part where some new tech emerged and was widely implemented that displaced hydrocarbon fuels as our main source of energy. Sure zero point tech might exist, cold fusion etc. if it does it sure as hell hasn't been implemented on a scale that impacts my life or that of anyone I know in any meaningful way. Also Zbig and the other long term strategic folks at the trilateral commission and pentagon don't agree with your analysis, but don't let that stop you from pontificating on sea change pivots in technology that are nowhere to be seen!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 7.0
US People: What the hell is going on?
.Politburo: You don't need to know, and you have no say anyway.
What a great NeoCon plan! Send in Saudi/US troops, have the Militias fight them instead of Daesh!
Iraqi PM: We don't want you here.
US General: What? I can't hear you over the sound of the planes arriving with troops.
"BLAM!"
US General: Captain, I told you to safe that pistol. The PM is dead! Lucky for you, McCain is here to become PM.
Saudi troops, now there is an oxymoron.
They just hire filipinos to do that for them, like everything else.
Guess those Saudis are going to have to find out the hard way what happens to US allies
lol US sending sons to die for rich Saudi wahabi sunni goat fuckers. I guess that will teach amuricans to vote for a sunni muslim blackie for president
Iran and Russia need to get into IRAQ now before the evil yankees get there... China should send 100,000, India 100,000 Iran 50,000, Russia 10,000, make it look good.
Time to crush this evil in the world... Scum shit head US gov...
Cruise missiles from the Caspian falling on Mosul for 24 hours straight should do the trick.
So often victory goes to the Swift and Devious, not the slow & righteous. This is seen daily in Trial Law, where good lawyers win on Procedure over Principle.
This is especially true in War and in Full-Spectrum-Dominance.
Oh, I thought it was going to say they would be deploying 100,000 CIA agents.
Craft International mercs bro!
