I'll be the ignorant guy and ask why haven't any of the rebel groups killed Assad or his brother yet. I assumes it because he is well protected. I think a suicide bomber blew his brothers leg off like a year ago, but i am not sure. Sorry for my ignorance.

Now i sorta feel like we shouldn't have pulled out, but if it wernt ISIS trying to take over, it would be some other hosed up group. Is there a way, i can blame bush for this that will make me feel better and that pulling out was the right decision.

So whats going to happen, I assume the kurds will fight ISIS if they get to close, and now Iranians are going to invade to fight ISIS. the middle east is going to consumed in fire isn't it.

I gotta say when it is muted and you just watch the action scenes it looks like the kind of video a kid would make for a Call of Duty highlights reel. It is also really, really damning; we're talking like warcrimes 101 - a case study. speaking of that. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/27838978 this rear end in a top hat joined ISIS leaving his kids behind so that who could play COD IRL edtion.

Mightypeon posted:Which would have huge reprecursions elsewhere. A sizeable segment of the Kremlin "doves" right now is not exactly dovish, but wishes to escalate or renegotiate the situation once the USA has firmly embedded their private parts in Iran. I would imagine that similiar dynamics exist in Beijing. Heck, the Chinese may even move first, and Russia would be secretly incredibly delighted to pass the buck of "vanguard of resistance to western hegemonialism" to either Iranians or Chinese. Only that the Iranians are very unsuspecting at all, and watched with argus eyes for any possible Russian attempt of derailing the Geneva talks. Such attempts didnt materialize btw. of course. but people like Bolton donest give a poo poo about petty things such as consequences. he just wants to burn iran to the ground and make it Iraq 3.0 cept a million times worse and probably alot more flayed men. Neocons like him get off to war, once iran is done, he will find someone else.

So in better news, US spec-ops went in and killed ISIS commander Abu Sayyaf in syria, they captured his wife and rescued a young yazide woman held by them. they also got a poo poo ton of Intel apparently. and no US casualties and at least 20 ISIS scum sent to hell. http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/16/middleeast/syria-isis-us-raid/index.html

Panzeh posted:Yeah, it's weird having people say Baghdad was a bad battle or something. The US could probably take Mosul relatively quickly if enough forces were deployed. The problem is the political program. Any possible political program would basically result in either a Shia or Sunni revolt, possibly both, and any level of insurgency puts a ticking timer on US involvement. US anti-Shia policy strengthens the Iranian hand anyway, by basically shoving Shia political players into the arms of Iran, whose leadership was smart enough to play the long game, knowing that US policy would inevitably strengthen their hand. It sounds like the entire region is hosed no matter what The US/NATO does. Yeah we could probably take out ISIS with ground forces and install (another) new government, but it will just start all the poo poo all over again with whichever group gets left out. If we side with the Shia, ISIS or another radical suni group will rise up and kill any shia they can find and if we side with the Sunni we will have another ghost war with Iran and shia militias will just shoot any sunni they can find. and in both of these scenarios, the Kurds get hosed. and all of this isnt even touching on all the poo poo in Syria. Is there any solution to all of this poo poo?

Iran is an international state sponsor of terrorism and has invaded American soil within living memory without having the decency to so much as appoligize for doing so. I can see a regime change happening. Every Iranian i have ever talked to has been pretty progressive and most of them want reform. Plus iran has a massive population of people under 30. I can see a revolution happening or at the very least the government being heavily reformed.

i was watching game of thrones of late and it came into my broken head that the middle east is alot like westeros and essos all the leaders of the various countries are a different shade of bad and do awful poo poo to each other or their own people. the best leaders of the middle east are basically like stannis baratheon who while they are "fair" and keep the country stable, still kill people in horrible ways for various "crimes" in public to keep the religious fanatics happy. the others are either like tywin lannister, who just use the country as a power structure for their intimidate and extended family. ISIS are the Boltons and Israel is dorne. and then america/nato aka dany stumbles with sorta good intentions and superior weapons and makes it worse, killing thousands and destabilizing the entire region even more.

The only question is how long it takes before Russia realizes what a horrible, horrible mistake they're making. With any luck, it'll be quickly, but I'm not optimistic. Yeah, its gonna turn into a real horror show, again.
