Reference the Russian second front of their non linear war...Syria.
There have been countless social media photos, videos and reports of Iraqi Shia militia fighting in Syria against the FSA AND not against IS either in Iraq and or Syria carrying US provided weapons, driving US tanks and HUMVEEs and YET not a single comment out of Congress and or this WH....about the Iraqi government's lack of control over US weapons being provided them to defend against IS inside Iraq....
Why is that?????

Acc to CNN: many countries will be sending in troops to Saudis coalition, including Brunei, Malaysia, Morocco, Qatar, Sudan, Jordan..etcOriginally Posted by OUTLAW 09
Interesting is it not that the Obama WH is now seeing the formation and possible deployment of a "Global Sunni Army" vs the Shia recruited and IRGC led Shia mercenary army fighting in basically what is a Sunni Arab nation state.
Obama had a number of chances over the last four years to reign this in and did absolutely nothing....
WHAT is extremely comical about this WH is that several weeks ago AFTER the WH stated their "Syrian strategy was a success"...."but it needed just a little more messaging for you and me to fully understand it was working".....Sec Def Carter critiqued the KSA openly for not supporting the IS fight.....unusual for a high profile political visit BTW.
NOW the Saudi's make this statement and can back it up with combat deployment in under four weeks and just where is the Obama WH......silent, has not made a single comment and running for the hills AS the KSA has stated to them you lead and we will follow BUT show us the color of your money.
Since nothing came from either Obama, Kerry or the SecDef you are now hearing the not so subtle warnings...we will march alone if necessary to protect Sunnis' and defeat IS with or without you...that threat is being levelled at both Iran and Putin....
We are rapidly approaching the brink of a 100 years war....and this time over religion again as well as regional hegemony.
Many it appears in the WH have forgotten the early comments coming out of the Russian Orthodox Church when Putin flew his AF into Syria...
His own ROC openly and publicly called for a "Holy War"...and those comments were not refuted by Putin....second lesson learned about Russian non linear warfare when Putin does not refute statements made in Moscow BY anyone...watch out.
Well we are almost there......for there is an old Arabic saying "Aleppo is the red line for the Sunni nation states"...and it has been crossed.

Appears the IRGC is getting nervous about the possibility of a combined Sunni army entering Syria led by KSA and Turkey...notice the IRC does not address Turkey.....
BTW he does not mention that it has been only with Russian air strikes that "helped"......when the RuAF was not in Syria IRGC and related Shia militias have been taking a beating.....at the hands of JaN, JaI and FSA...TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Saudi Arabia doesn't have the guts to send its armed forces to Syria.
"They claim they will send troops (to Syria) but I don’t think they will dare do so. They have a classic army and history tells us such armies stand no chance in fighting irregular resistance forces," Jafari told reporters in Tehran on Saturday.
"This will be like a coup de grâce for them. Apparently, they see no other way but this, and if this is the case, then their fate is sealed," he added.
Jafari, said this is just cheap talks, but Iran welcomes the Saudi decision if they decide to walk on this path.
SO if they are "winning" then why does the Shia morale have to be lifted?????
Iran has dispatched pro-regime pop singer Saeed Hadadian to Syria to lift troop morale

After the beating they have taken even with Russian air strikes their "morale" does need more than a "face lifting"....

Appears that even the FARS news media cannot get the right Sunni description of IS into their anti KSA propaganda.....
From FARS:
Daesh or ISIL/ISIS is a Wahhabi group mentored by Saudi Arabia and has been blacklisted as a terrorist group everywhere in the world, including the United States and Russia, but Saudi Arabia.
IS has never been a Wahhabi group..appears the Shia have never heard of Takfiri........
FARs has a major problem in this sentence ...if IS is Wahhabi then why is the Wahhabi KSA an avowed enemy of IS.....and vice versa.....
FARNEWs is just as about as bad at Iranian info warfare as the Russian media sites used by the Russian FM and Putin....
Today FARs released a short press release timed to the IRGC Commanders FARs released comments focusing on KSA....
They ran this headline just before his comments:
"KSA training a 150,000 man mercenary army to invade Syria......."

Syria after Aleppo's likely fall: two views
Two quite different views, Steven Metz (USA) and Natalie Nougayrde (French), on what may happen now - assuming Aleppo falls to the coalition ostensibly led by Bashir Assad.
Steven starts with:Link:http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/a...arder-to-avoidWhenever it seems that the war in Syria cant get more tragic and dangerous, it does. That conflict has already created the worst humanitarian disaster of a young century and empowered the barbaric self-declared Islamic State. And it could become worse.
Natalie starts with:Link:http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/05/aleppo-europe-vladimir-putin-russian-military?If Aleppo falls, Syrias vicious war will take a whole new turn, one with far-reaching consequences not just for the region but for Europe too. The latest government assault on the besieged northern Syrian city, which has caused tens of thousands more people to flee in recent days, is also a defining moment for relations between the west and Russia, whose airforce is playing a key role. The defeat of anti-Assad rebels who have partially controlled the city since 2012 would leave nothing on the ground in Syria but Assads regime and Islamic State. And all hope of a negotiated settlement involving the Syrian opposition will vanish. This has been a longstanding Russian objective it was at the heart of Moscows decision to intervene militarily four months ago.

The tone coming out of Turkey is definitely heating up....not to be overseen...wonder if the Obama WH is registering this increase in tone....those that understand the Turkish nationalism should call the WH and ask them to pay close attention.
The tension between Turkey and Russia is not to be over looked.....a clash of two head strong personalities that believe they represent their own civil societies

Literally the entire western MSM and Obama WH pundits have been totally wrong about Putin's intentions and actions in both eastern Ukraine and now Syria......
Do no think for a moment think that Turkey and KSA are actually bluffing....the reaction of the IRGC Commander and the FARs instant reporting on the alleged 150K Sunni invasion force and the somewhat over reaction of the Russians to the Turkish cancelled Russian requested Open Skies flight..is also starting to wear on Putin.....
Aggressive Russian air strikes on civilians is just as high today .....which will further fuel the Turks and Saudi's....
The Obama WH seems to fail to accept the simple fact that in the eyes of the Turks and KSA Iran now controls the capitals of FOUR Arab nation states....Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq.
If Saudis & Turks are bluffing or playing a political manoeuvre & fail to back it up with action, this will be worse than Obama's CW retreat
Why do I say this...for Turkey and KSA to not follow through insures the regional hegemony for Iran and the Shia taking control of a bulk of the Arab/Sunni ME world......so some amount of ground forces will actually go in....
Then Putin has a choice to make as he does not have the necessary Russian ground forces to react and his AF strength cannot match what Jordan and KSA can throw at them....make in fact explain the sudden Russian AD build out.....
Putin has actually wanted a clash with NATO and he might just get it.....
Right now Obama and Kerry have absolutely no creditability left with either Turkey and or KSA.... and the entire GCC.

One of the key reasons that the Turks and Saudi's are now moving....NOTICE not a single word from the western MSM and the Obama WH......
IRGC battalions from Kermanshah, Esfahan, Qom, Gilan, Fars, Khorasan, Khuzestan… at war with Syrian people

For those that do not believe we are seeing in Syria the extension of what Khomeini started in 1979 with what he called "revolutionary Islam" and being carried out by Khamenei
Iran backed Shia militias in #Nubul, north rural #Aleppo, #Syria
“Labayk Ya Khamenei”
Would highly recommend finding this on the net and downloading and thoroughly reading the very long analysis.....well worth the efforts in the end and it will place the current Khamenei mindset into a perspective that is not talked about by the Obama WH who is "hoping against hope" Iran will "moderate"...but it never will as long has the religious theocracy is in place and defended by the IRGC.....
