Here:
What to do?- I was asked today to state what I think should be done:
* Accept the truth that we destroyed the Iraqi state and from that act of vandalism all present chaos in that country derives.
* Don't do it again in Syria.
* Stop saying that no "Assad cronies" can be in the government or head the government. They ARE the government. Assad himself is dispensable, but not the government of Syria.
* Act like Russia, China and Iran matter as something other than rivals and adversaries.
* Ignore Erdogan's Turkey. It is a manifestation of the jihadi enemy. They will deny us use of Incirlik and the other bases? Fine, that would clarify the situation. Move onto Syrian bases or the big, unused NATO built base north of Tripoli in Lebanon.
* Ignore Saudi Arabia's wishes with regard to Syria. They are jihadi supporters.
* Ignore Israel's wishes with regard to Syria. Natanyahu's government is pursuing a mistaken and short sighted policy of eliminating coherent government in Syria for the purpose of crippling their Lebanese Hizbullah adversaries whom they think exist because of Syrian and Iranian help. The Likud's imagined interest in Syria is not America's interest.
* Accept Russian and Iranian co-belligerence in the war against the jihadis, ALL JIHADIS.
* Fully coordinate operations, intelligence analysis sharing and logistics with the co-belligerent partners.
* FIGHT THE JIHADIS, NOT THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT.

"Jaysh al-Fateh - the Army of Conquest - is a broad alliance of hardline Islamist groups, which includes both Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham."
What part of that sentence in bold above is difficult to understand? ALL THE JIHADIS ARE ENEMIES, not just IS. ALL OF THEM.
If Jabhat al Fath, captures Latakia, is it not as much lost to modernity as it would be if IS captured the town?
Madmen like McCain and various empty headed retired generals are busy on the media pushing the US public toward war with Russia. What is the matter with these people?
ALL JIHADIS ARE THE ENEMY, NOT JUST IS. pl
And here:
The US Government continues to resemble a petulant child who, having dominated the schoolyard, is faced with another child who takes control of a game. The petulant one then announces that the new kid is cheating and walks away from the scrum.
Ridiculous.
IMO Russia+allies (R+5) [Russia+SAG+Hizbullah+YPG Kurds+Iran +Iraq] have an opportunity to reverse the jihadi threat to the Syrian government and the region.
Steps to be taken by R+5:
- Continue to reinforce Russian air capabilities in NW Syria. Harden air bases to make it obvious to the Israelis or anyone else that it would not be an easy thing to take Jack (Ripper) Keane's advice to crater all the runways that the Russians are using or may use.
- Continue to coordinate and support Syrian, Hizbullah and IRGC force in drives to eliminate the insurgent pocket north of Homs and along a broad front to the NE of Latakia for the purposes of chewing up rebel forces and effecting the relief of Aleppo.
- The Homs area operation is important because success will re-open the north/south axis that is needed for national coherence.
- IMO Russia will need to bring an armor heavy ground task force into the country to act as stiffening for its combined offensive operations.
- Relief of Aleppo would inevitably lead to direct combat with IS forces north and east of Aleppo, the Russian commander should be forward planning for that development.
- As TTG wrote today a YPG Kurd alliance with Russia is an option that should be earnestly pursued by the Russians.
- Deep planning for Iraq should be underway in anticipation of success in Syria. pl

The Mayan Long Count, the Hindu Yugas, the Buddhist Kalachakra, the Maori and Hopi mythologies, and etc. all track a limit cycle in this epic and continuous conflict. The first Yuga is dominated by the "feminine force," i.e. the Pandavas, the second by the "masculine force," i.e. the Kauravas, the third by the feminine, the fourth, which we began transitioning out of on December 21, 2012, by the masculine, and the fifth, which we are now well into, is a balance between the masculine and feminine, i.e. the Kauravas and Pandavas. The Kauravas are the crooks; you could say they serve the Dark Lord, i.e. Satan, Mara, the Death Star. I prefer to think of them as entropic agents. The Pandavas are the saints; you could say they serve the Mother, the Lord of Light, Truth. I prefer to think of them as negentropic agents. The goal of the Kauravas during this time of transition, it is, quite literally, a phase transition, is to bring the entropy - big time! In their stupid ass religions they refer to it as the apocalypse - no shit! You see, Russia and Iran are Pandavas while the Sunnis, i.e. the House of Saud, and the Republican U. S. are Kauravas. The Jihadis, who are largely supported by the Sunnis, have as their primary goal, a caliphate which returns human civilization to a level of entropy equivalent to approximately 600 C.E. The Republicans in the U. S. are backed primarily by the evangelical Christians and these Christians have essentially the same goal - they call it the apocalypse.
You can think of the situation in the Mid-East as a system of differential equations, which, prior to the Iraq debacle, existed in a state of unstable equilibrium. The events of 9/11 were perpetrated by the Kauravas - interpret that as you may - in order to perturb the system, and we all know what happens when you perturb a system in a state of unstable equilibrium. It is quite possible that the perturbations could become amplified to the point of system dissolution - apocalypse! The point I'm making here is, at least half the people in the U. S. government and probably a much greater percentage in the U. S. military, they are on the same "team" as the Jihadis! This is true of Netanyahu as well; these folks quite literally wish to bring about the end of modern civilization! Why do you think Netanyahu put out a call to all Jews telling them to return to Israel? Why do you think the U. S. Republican party is in such a lather? They're always experiencing blood-lust but they're off the chain now, why? Because things are not quite working according to their plan.
This, of course, is nothing to worry about; it's all just Divine Play. I think the Brother-battle is a necessary component of computation and for certain the Divine Play is computed . . .
