    The LORD and his ministers have been very busy recently. Meeting Iranian, Chinese, Turkish and Syrian representatives.

    They have now taken another step,, meeting with Saudi Arabian leaders. The Saudis have been under the cosh from many directions recently.

    If taken with the consensus of the new ME "partners" it could mean peaceful days ahead.

    Yes, if Saudi stopped invading, bombing and attacking other countries, both directly and covertly then that'd be a big positive.

    This released on the 21st may be of some significance.



    Yemen Offers Russia Use Of Its Airports And Ports In "Fight Against Terrorism" | Zero Hedge

    Yemen's ex-president says could work with Russia to 'fight terrorism' | World | Reuters

    "DOHA (Reuters) - A newly-formed governing council in Yemen could work with Russia to "fight terrorism" by allowing Moscow use of the war-torn country's military bases, Yemen's former president said on Sunday. Ali Abdullah Saleh, a former counter-terrorism ally of the U.S. who was toppled by mass protests in 2011, told state-owned channel Russia 24 that Yemen was ready to grant Moscow access to air and naval bases.
    "In the fight against terrorism we reach out and offer all facilities. Our airports, our ports... We are ready to provide this to the Russian Federation," Saleh said in an interview in Sanaa."


    Luckily the Ameristani "Advisors" have all been evacuated recently so there should be no interferences and threats to a requested ally to "Stay away from my troops" as occurred recently in Syria. Not that the Syrian Airforce stopped it's military action.One hopes the other mercenaries, employed by the SA's have also been told to vacate Yemen.


    Will Sudan also open it's doors to the new ME alliance of Russia, China, Iran, Syria and Turkey? Will Iran/Hezbolla armed forces along with some "defensive" S300's appear in the ranks of the legitimate government of Yemen?


    Will the crusader coalition take note of "the winds of change" and follow the Ameristani military out of the area?


    "The wind of change is blowing through this continent.
    Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact"

    This is the "What will it take to get rid of ISIS" thread.

    But I understand that you would confuse IS with AQAP.

    After all, they are two different organisations that hate each other.

    I am sure the Ameristani taxpayer/accountants/vassals, who are paying for both, keep them in "separate" checking accounts. At this point in time "What difference does it (a name) make".

    But keep the ridicule and lack of intelligent comments coming harry, it means such a lot to me that you spend your time awaiting my latest dribble hit your lips.

    I wonder what Russians intend to do with the Ameristani bases situated on the Yemeni islands, in the Red Sea.

    I've seen the photo in question but not familiar with the background/controversy.

    That said, and while there's no accounting for rogues within the msm, it hardly seems worth the effort and risk of faking such a pic because there are ample genuine tragedies out there for even the laziest reporters to click and post.

    Would probably help if the US stopped selling cluster bombs to the Saudies :

    How US Cluster Bombs Banned by Most Countries Ended Up in Yemen | Mother Jones


    But then neither of them signed the convention banning cluster bombs so I suppose it all right to manufacture, sell and use them.

    But they arent being used against IS in Yemen but against the so called moderate rebels.

    Indeed its hard to tell just how much traction IS has in Yemen for there are conflicting reports :

    ISIS Fails to Gain Much Traction in Yemen - WSJ

    ISIS gaining ground in Yemen - CNNPolitics.com

    Whatever, that country is quickly being turned into another Libya with several factions fighting for control.

    The Amristanis are involved in another illegal act inside Syria.

    The Turkish armed forces and Ameristani planner, air force assets, arms, weapons etc are being used for an invasion from the north by Turkey and from the west by "good" terrorists.

    "Syrian government officials said that any side willing to fight terrorism on the Syrian territory should cooperate with the authorities and the Syrian Army, “which has been fighting terrorism for over five years,” as reported by SANA news agency.
    Syrian government called the Turkish operation a “blatant violation of the sovereignty” of Syria, adding that “replacing” Islamic State with “other terrorist organizations backed directly by Turkey” cannot be regarded as a fight against terrorism."

    Against the UN charter, against international laws and against the express wishes of the Syrian government Ameristani forces are invading yet another sovereign country.

    It is like the Chinese army invading Texas assisted by Mexicans and Russian air forces. But hey Ameristan is an unexceptional country led by unexceptional leaders and supported by unexceptional idiots. Around the world and here on TD.

    “We’ve put a lid on the Kurds moving north, or at least doing so if they want any support from us, which I think is a fairly significant piece of leverage,” the US official told the WSJ. “So for the moment I think we’ve put a lid on the biggest concern that the Turks have, which I think gives us some breathing space to make sure this operation in Jarabulus [sic] is done the right way and that we and the Turks do it together.

    "American jets targeting Islamic State in Raqqa, Syria may have killed an unknown number of civilians during an airstrike Tuesday, the US Central Command has said.

    “Reports indicate that what appeared to be a non-military vehicle drove into the target area after the weapon was released from the aircraft,” CENTCOM said in a statement Wednesday, referring to Tuesday’s airstrike near the self-proclaimed capital of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).“The vehicle's occupants may have perished as a result of the strike.”


    Let's await the "local" reporter to tweet to the sleeping millions and the "white helmets" to provide us some videos and photos, before we call this an outrage against humanity/civilians/children around the world.


    One wonders why the Syrians don't take actions under the "Right to protect" UN agreed actions acceptable to protect it's civilians from terrorist organisations.Or is it only the prerogative of the "worlds only superpower"?

    One wonders if the "Kurds" in this report, regarding an attack on Syrian Army soldiers/positions are part of the same "Kurds" currently being assisted, armed, directed and fed by the "Crusader Coalition" in western Syria.

    Syrian army, Kurdish fighters reach new ceasefire in Hasakah - Global Times

    "The Kurdish fighters and the Syrian army have reached a new ceasefire in the province of Hasakah, just days after a previous truce was shattered with intensified confrontation, Syria's national TV reported Tuesday.

    The new ceasefire has supposedly gone into effect at 2 p.m. local time (1100 GMT) Tuesday, said the report, adding that several points have been agreed upon.

    The Syrian forces and security apparatus as well as the Kurdish security force, called Assayish, will remain in their positions in Haskah, according to the deal.

    The news agreement also includes opening all blocked routes in Hasakah city by the Kurdish fighters, who have mounted a wide-scale offensive recently to push the government out of Hasakah, a city that has largely become controlled by the Kurds.

    The new truce also provides for exchanging prisoners and wounded people at 9 p.m. local time (1800 GMT).

    Efforts will continue be made to resolve the Kurdish issue, said the report, adding that roads will be opened inside Hasakah and Qamishli city toward the military positions in and outside the city.

    The ceasefire deal is the second to be reached in recent days, as the tension between the Kurds and the Syrian government has hit an unprecedented high.

    A day earlier, state news agency SANA accused the Kurds of breaking a truce reached on Sunday, saying the Kurdish fighters attacked several government institutions.

    A source in the city told Xinhua that the Kurds actually took control of several government positions, in their bid to shrink the government presence in that area to a small security zone"

    Maybe harry will have a different name for them, which of course means all the difference. I suppose the labelled, "Assayish", could possibly be "good terrorists", to the crusader coalition.



    Will the" white helmets" and the local "reporters" throw some light on this please?

    It would seem that Turkey is currently shelling the Kurds and killing them, plus of course the usual collateral damage, while the US is supplying the same Kurds who are said to be having the most success fighting against IS.

    The US the Kurds and Turkey are both supposed to be fighting IS but Turkey, Syria and the US are scared of the success the Kurds are having for they worry that the kurds want a Kurdish homeland around the Turkey Syrian border where they have always lived.

    Not knowing which way their A holes are pointing the great US is having a dollar each way by supplying the Kurds who are fighting IS and supplying Turkey which is killing the Kurds.

    Turkey v Syria's Kurds v Islamic State - BBC News

    But the arms manufacturers who make up something like 10% of US GDP are making record profits so all good.

    Note ; overseas sales of arms make up about 3% of US GDP the rest is domestic arms sales both to the military and private owners.

    Great, we've managed to find some more friendly terrorists. I hear they're going to trap those nasty Kurds and Syrians in a swift pincer movement with America and Turkey from the north and the IS from the south, then blame Putin. No, Israel.

    This time next year TD warmongers will be whining that they had nothing to do with anything and the death toll and refugee tsunamis are all down to Bush, as Europe and the ME sink irretrievably into the mire.
