ISIS Axis Assemble! Turkey To Establish Military Base In Qatar
As we never tire of reminding readers, it’s critical to understand that the conflict in Syria, as interesting and important as it is in isolation, is part of larger story. As we documented in “Mid-East Coup: As Russia Pounds Militant Targets, Iran Readies Ground Invasions While Saudis Panic,” an epochal shift is taking place in the region
Preserving the Assad government is absolutely critical for Iran. Syria serves as a key link between Tehran and Hezbollah in Lebanon and were Damascus to fall to a Western puppet government, Iran’s so-called “Shiite crescent” would wane. Riyadh, Doha, and Ankara know this of course and would like nothing more than to push the Iranians out of the Arab Peninsula, and ideally, undercut Tehran’s influence in Iraq as well.
The conflict in Yemen is the same story. Iran backs the Houthis and just about the last thing the Saudis, Qatar, and the UAE want to happen is for Iran to effectively establish a colony on Riyadh’s southern border with a cozy view of the Bab-el-Mandeb. That explains why the Gulf monarchies have put so much effort into driving the Houthis back and why the they won’t likely stop until Sana’a is recaptured (even if a few MSF hospitals and a UNESCO world heritage site have to be destroyed along the way).
In short, this is an all-out regional Sunni vs. Shiite proxy war with the US backing the Sunnis and Russia backing the Shiites. If Iran and Russia win, Tehran will have cemented its foothold in Syria and Iraq just as international sanctions are lifted. If the Saudis win, the status quo will be preserved only with a “friendly” government in Damascus and a restored Hadi regime in Yemen.
With the stakes so high, it’s no wonder that all sides are sparing no expense. The Saudis are pouring resources into the Yemen fight even as Riyadh’s fiscal deficit has ballooned to some 20% of GDP in the face of slumping crude prices. Qatar and Turkey are funneling weapons and money to proxy armies in Syria and Ankara is apparently willing to risk its international reputation on the way to facilitating the ISIS oil trade. Meanwhile, Russia is all-in on the air campaign in Syria and Iran has committed Hezbollah, thousands of Iraqi Shiite militiamen, and its most important generals to Assad’s cause.
As Hezbollah advances on Aleppo under cover of Russian airstrikes, the anti-Iran/anti-Assad nexus is getting concerned. Recall that in October, Qatar hinted at direct military action in Syria when Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiyah told CNN that "if a military intervention will protect the Syrian people from the brutality of the regime, we will do it [along with] our Saudi and Turkish brothers.”
Well don’t look now, but Turkey is set to establish a military base in Qatar in order to help the countries “confront common enemies.” As Reuters reports, “establishment of the base, part of an agreement signed in 2014 and ratified by Turkey's parliament in June, intensifies the partnership with Qatar at a time of rising instability and a perceived waning of U.S. interest in the region.”
“The two countries have provided support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, backed rebels fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and raised the alarm about creeping Iranian influence in the region,” Reuters goes on to note, adding that “3,000 ground troops would be stationed at the base - Turkey's first overseas military installation in the Middle East - as well as air and naval units, military trainers and special operations forces.”
The deal also opens the door for Doha to establish its own base in Turkey in the future. "Turkey and Qatar face common problems and we are both very concerned about developments in the region and uncertain policies of other countries," Turkey's ambassador to Qatar Ahmet Demirok said. "We confront common enemies. At this critical time for the Middle East cooperation between us is vital."
Yes, "more cooperation" is "crtical." Because the current level of cooperation apprently hasn't created enough instability and outright carnage.
Bear in mind that this comes just as speculation is running high regarding the possibility that the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey may soon look to send in tens of thousands of ground troops to Iraq (and possibly Syria). The takeaway is this: even as Germany (and next France) seem to be moving towards a more cooperative approach when it comes to coordinating with the Assad government in the war on terror, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey's resolve to see the Syrian government fall has only hardened. The question is whether the US will continue to back its allies in the region or follow Germany down a more conciliatory path when it comes to dealing with the Syrian "problem."

well worth a read
http://thesaker.is/qatar-unplugged/
Good, and Iran has nothing more to do than lob a couple hundred missiles across the gulf to destroy what the Qataris have spent hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars building. Let them and the turks eat shit if they try anything stupid.
States in article
Is not quite so simple in real. Might want to try:
This somehow a better picture can paint. This is my opinion.
So now CENTCOM & Turkey are defending the very banking cartel that launders money for ISIS.
Awesome. Does this mean Turkey will be deploying troops around the Federal Reserve Bank of NY also?
Spambot, why you pour shit?

Ahhh just as I suspected Qatar has officially lost control of it mammoth nat gaz resource & future pipeline up thru Iraq & Syria to Turkey! Looks like they might have got a 15% royalty from the kind hearted tribal types for their trouble!
New Israel Project (part WTFevah)
$20 says they all fail miserably.
That's sounds like some Jive, Turkey.
Congratulations to Turkey on becoming the world's latest Wahhabist shithole!

"[...] just as speculation is running high regarding the possibility that the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey may soon look to send in tens of thousands of ground troops to Iraq (and possibly Syria)"
Some new targets for Russian bombers and missiles. Since all of these invaders would not have authority from the Iraq.gov to be in the country they can't complain if they're bombed...
Did they have permission from Iraq in Iraq1 or Iraq2, Libya, Syria, Afganistan, drones in Pakistan, drones India, etc..
No! But in those days Russia wasn't on the case (!)
Other than Afghanistan they were all Russia allies and were abandoned. Syria is ongoing. Recently the US flew jet right past Putin S400's and bombed a Syrian military base repeatedly.
Just yesterday the US flew right into the strike range of Putin's S400's and bombed a base of operations for the Iraqi military. Just yesterday.
Funny how so oftenly reflected in your comments the urgent wish to see Russia and NATO at war.
And this wish, to ask such a question, it is also a training manual? How much do you for the post is dripping?
The view from Kiev is very valuable to us. Tell me more about the cookies...
He's an idiot, and he's out of potatoes. Pay him no attention...
"
No, and they again very much unlawfully wrong will be performing.
For a person morally adequate and knows right from wrong this concept to understand quite easily.
Relax ... nobody is going to war with anybody ... all that needed to happen was for tribal forces to seperate Qatar from its monsterous nat gaz deposit! Now that has been accomplished everyone can get back to smokin' their shisha's & eating hummus!
Ground troops? Think of them more as pipeline contractors!
Germany now reopening its embassay in Syria & re-establishing political relations.
Qatar just got a major hard core nat gaz 'a _ _ f _ _k ' by the wonderful tribal NWO-EU in action!
The phoney ISIS/ISIL construct will disappear faster than a tax-payer subsidized alternative energy company!
Turkey is ripe for a takevoer. The fucktard Saudis are so insane and assbackward they will bury themselves.
Saudi is & has been Joo controlled from the get-go! It will collapse only after all its blood & life has been sucked out of it! Qatar is the new fresh host for the paracites!
arent there already enough donkey farms in qatar?
"
Erdoganist citizens of Turkey being brought there to the purpose mule and hinny breeding.
Should be fun, no?
NATO seems divided here, not. Surprised if Assad/Russia allow Germany/France to open anything in Syria....yet? Pipeline wars are heating up as who has the flow through pipelines will be masters of the ME for many years and the US wants that say. Russia/Iran/Assad will have to pickup the pace and soon. US, which seems to be overtly disengaging from Turkey/Syria action will focus on controlling/securing oil wells in the Kurdish north. Russia could find itself boxed in. Turkey will meet NATO requirements or Erdo?an and crew will be found in a well. It is getting interesting quickly.
Pretty much! It's only been about stealing natural resources from the citizens of the ME! Just think a trillion dollar plus energy resource has been won & it only cost 250k meaningless Syrian lives & a few million refugees for the rest of the world to enjoy! Cheappppppp!!!! And look for Nat Gaz prices to rise significantly once all assets are 100% secured!
Obama said in his speech today (twice) that Assad must go. I thought Kerry had said the opposite yesterday.
Looks like Assad has been well paid out and will be taking his final retirement tour soon!
Then Obama can go to you know where.
If they want to put a big target on their head to help out Turkey's up and coming Stalin they will get no sympathy here. Deuces, Qatar
Qatar is bent over prone, legs spread wide & all lubed up for a NWO-EU Prom Night party! Mission Accomplished!
And if they young boy looking will have Saudi royals on them like flies on Saudi royals...
Syria-Russia-Iraq-Iran simply have to ban this alliance from entering Iraq and Syria, and officially post publicly and at the UN that not only are they entirely unwanted and unwelcome, but that a military entry by this alliance is an Act of War (Casus Belli).
Russia and Iraq then work together in keeping this alliance out. Shouldn't take much to send them the message, even if they act as though they have a Learning Disability. A few FOABs should do the trick, once they enter Iraqi or Syrian territory.
Somehow get Turkey out of the NATO.
Most problems will disolve then.
For all I care Turkey could fully move into Qatar's bed. They'll have a hell of a time setting foot in Syria though, especially after The Donald mops the elections floor with that bitch...
Good to see "evil" laying it's cards on the table...
First up: Israel and Turkey...
http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/12/israel-and-turkey-reach-agreement-o...
Israel and Turkey have reached a preliminary agreement on the normalization of relations, including the return of ambassadors from both countries, Reuters reported with reference to the representative of the Israeli authorities.
Next up: Ukraine and Turkey...
http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/12/ukraine-turkey-love-story.html
It is no longer confined to mutual praise, but also the sharing of videos glorifying the armed forces of each other. As it became known the yesterday, Ukraine plans to establish a military base on the border with Crimea via Turkey.
Standard Disclaimer: Not that the toilet bowls have been clearly defined, which country will step up and do the flushing?
In every f* news at the moment there is one thing in common: Turkey.
ISIS sells oil to turkey, ISIS sells antiquities through turkey, ISIS gets medical treatment in Turkey, ISIS gets weapons and supplies from Turkey and even ISIS gets WMD from Turkey.
Now Turkey enforces treaties with Saudis, Qatars, Ukraines.
Turkey is definitly part of the problem and not of the solution. Solve this first!
The only thing normalized here are capetbaggers dividing up the trillion dollar Qatari natural gaz assets. See the 3 guys guys in the photo. The two suited Goldman Sachs type dudes are telling the guy with the table cloth on his head they'll be the operators & he will be getting a 20% royalty on his own assets & he's thinkin' he just got a great deal!
1. Appears the Anti-Zionists at ZH have been proven correct
2. Turkish guys love Ukrainian women (Sultan Ahmet's favorite wife was a Ukie he found in his harem)
Speaking of "open for business" in the military base "department"?... And how did the U.S. think this somehow wouldn't get noticed?!!!
What are the odds Lavrov and Putin brought this up in there meeting with "the faggot" when he was trolling for donut shops in downtown Moscow!
The U.S. MIC. Truly the worst shape and saddest it's EVER been in!
"if a military intervention will protect the Syrian people from the brutality of the regime, we will do it [along with] our Saudi and Turkish brothers.”
This sounds very much like circle the wagons. Odd as Saudis and Qatars were not exactly the same blood brothers as they make themselves out to be now. In fact Saudis forced Qatar to give up the Muslim Brotherhood who were then force go to Turkey. Panic may be an understatement here.
what happened to the Qatari Royals kidnapped by 100 unknown gunmen, in South of Iraq..an event which followed Ghadaffis son kidnapped in Lebanon?
Both news dropped off the radar..
Qatar would like us to believe it cares so much about brutality against civilians in a far away country that has nothing to do with Qatar itself.
Apparently in their worldview, Bashar al-Assad is much more brutal than ISIS. Hence Qatar isn't pounding the table to send ground troops to get rid of ISIS. The same goes for Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
So we now need to urgently make Syria safe for ISIS to take over, just like Qatar/US/UK/France did in Libya and Iraq.
So why not just hand over the entire Middle East to ISIS while they're at it? What kind of terrorism will we all be seeing at that point? The brazenness of these criminals knows no bounds.
The Kidnapped Qatari hunters are still somewhere in Iraq. The 9 members of the party who were released were only the servants.

75 years ago the Qataris were starving to death as pearl divers; they are motivated by fear and greed....which besides leading countries to write checks they can't cash also leads to some really fucked up art choices.
