Not sure that Putin exactly understands that he has effectively now taken sides against the Sunni global community and the Sunni Front States when this report gains track in the MSM.....

The Kurds need to realise that after Iran's finishes with the Sunni Arabs in Iraq, it will go after the Sunni Kurds finally it will go after the whatever is left of the Christians. Obviously they'll leave them to the end as they pose no threat at the moment Iran is showing how it cares for Christian minorities, to show the west but it's playing the game. That's all.
Don't you think that if Iran stop their war it will lead to the KSA supremacy in the ME?
Not really as Saudi is not looking for hegemony or an empire like Iran is. Saddam invaded Iran because of this Iranian drive for an empire preached by Khomeini in 1978/79 and defended by the IRGC.....
For example do you think the KSA will tolerate the Kurds in Syria?
Yeah they would. It's not their concern. They are worried about Iran's expansionist fantasies and Kurds are largely Sunni.

Really worth reading the entire full article---a long article....

The Crisis of World Order
After Paris, Islamic State’s rise and Syria’s agony are shaking a weakened Europe—and the international system. Can the U.S. summon the resolve to respond?
For several years, President Barack Obama has operated under a set of assumptions about the Middle East: First, there could be no return of U.S. ground troops in sizable numbers to the region; and second, undergirding the first, the U.S. has no interests in the region great enough to justify such a renewed commitment. The crises in the Middle East could be kept localized. There might be bloodshed and violence—even mass killing, in Syria and Libya and elsewhere, and some instability in Iraq—but the fighting, and its consequences, could be contained. The core elements of the world order would not be affected, and America’s own interests would not be directly threatened so long as good intelligence and well-placed drone strikes prevented terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Even Islamic State could be “degraded” and “contained” over time.
These assumptions could have been right—other conflicts in the Middle East have remained local—but they have proven to be wrong. The combined crises of Syria, Iraq and Islamic State have not been contained. Islamic State itself has proven both durable and capable, as the attacks in Paris showed. The Syrian conflict, with its exodus of refugees, is destabilizing Lebanon and Jordan and has put added pressure on Turkey’s already tenuous democracy. It has exacerbated the acute conflict between Sunnis and Shiites across the region.
.
The multisided war in the Middle East has now ceased to be a strictly Middle Eastern problem. It has become a European problem as well. The flood of refugees from the violence in Syria and the repression of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime have rocked the continent and overwhelmed its institutions. The horrific attacks in Paris, likely organized and directed by Islamic State from its base in Syria, and the prospect of more such attacks, threaten the cohesion of Europe, and with it the cohesion of the trans-Atlantic community, or what used to be known as the West. The crisis on the periphery, in short, has now spilled over into the core.
Europe was not in great shape before the refugee crisis and the terrorist attacks. The prolonged Eurozone crisis eroded the legitimacy of European political institutions and the centrist parties that run them, while weakening the economies of key European powers. The old troika—Britain, France and Germany—that used to provide leadership on the continent and with whom the U.S. worked most closely to set the global agenda is no more. Britain is a pale shadow of its former self. Once the indispensable partner for the U.S., influential in both Washington and Brussels, the mediator between America and Europe, Britain is now unmoored, drifting away from both. The Labor Party, once led by Tony Blair, is now headed by an anti-American pacifist, while the ruling Conservative government boasts of its “very special relationship” with China.
The spillover of the Middle East crisis into this weakened Europe threatens to undermine the continent’s cohesion and sap the strength of trans-Atlantic ties. The refugee crisis has further weakened centrist parties and strengthened the right wing in France and elsewhere; now the terrorist attacks, which these parties have unfairly linked to the refugee crisis, have given them a further boost. The idea of Marine Le Pen, leader of the right-wing National Front, as France’s next president is no longer far-fetched.
There is a Russian angle, too. Many of these parties, and even some mainstream political movements across the continent, are funded by Russia and make little secret of their affinity for Moscow. Thus Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary has praised “illiberalism” and made common ideological cause with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In Germany, a whole class of businesspeople, politicians, and current and former government officials, led by former Chancellor Gerhard Schr๖der, presses constantly for normalized relations with Moscow. It sometimes seems, in Germany and perhaps in all of Europe, as if the only person standing in the way of full alliance with Russia is German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Now the Syrian crisis has further bolstered Russia’s position. Although Europeans generally share Washington’s discomfort with Moscow’s support for Mr. Assad and Russia’s bombing of moderate Syrian rebels, in the wake of the Paris attacks, any plausible partner in the fight against Islamic State seems worth enlisting. In France, former President Nicolas Sarkozy has long been an advocate for Russia, but now his calls for partnership with Moscow are echoed by President Fran็ois Hollande, who seeks a “grand coalition” with Russia to fight Islamic State.
.
Where does the U.S. fit into all this? The Europeans no longer know, any more than American allies in the Middle East do. Most Europeans still like Mr. Obama. After President George W. Bush and the Iraq war, Europeans have gotten the kind of American president they wanted. But in the current crisis, this new, more restrained and intensely cautious post-Iraq America has less to offer than the old superpower, with all its arrogance and belligerence.

Reference comments made today by the German FM Steimeier concerning Syria.....
And I say this as a former member of the party and long-time voter (of course).
Today, only shame remains ...
Julian Rpcke @JulianRoepcke
#Steinmeier REALLY said that!!
#Putin is murdering civilians with #Assad because of Russia's 'Muslim population'?!?!
Russia's 'Muslim population' is possibly the most stupid explanation for its actions in Syria, I ever heard.
Not even Russia uses it!...
How embarrassing, Reuters has to mention, the SPD became increasingly pro-Russian.
Like an apology for his stance.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier was, is and will always be either unconnected to reality or a pro-Russian appologist.
http://uk.mobile.reuters.com/article...51122?irpc=932
Germany has also been playing a double game with the Ukraine especially in their recent Russian support for the North Stream pipeline which will cause the Ukraine to lost 2B USDs per year. remember it was also Germany that kept the Ukraine out of the EU and NATO....ever wonder why??

Backed by 6 Turkish F-16s, 4 US F-15s, 1 AC-130 and 3 drones, Turkmen fighters kill 70 ISIL militants, capture two villages near Aleppo.
I notice interesting coincidence-No news from Battlefield at the top of the page Sputnik News from Saturday
None new cruise missiles,none new carpit bombing,none magic submarine torpedoes attack at Raqqa.
Nothing.
And
Western leaders who met on the margins of last week's Group of 20 summit in Turkey agreed to extend sanctions imposed on Russia for its intervention in Ukraine by six months until July of next year, a senior European diplomat told Reuters
