The big international news is that of Turkey and its lousy foreign policy and that of Saudi Arabia and its decimation of Yemen, al in the name of religion…..
We are fighting war after war….and we have friends that are lending a hand……countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey……and with friends like these we are so screwed!
For instance, our good friend Saudi Arabia…..their domestic policies are in line with the Taleban, Al-Qaeda and ISIS…..fundamentalist extremism and it is rumored that they are secretly funding these organizations…..even 9/11 was said to have been a Saudi operation (with little actual proof)……
Their biggest concern is Iran…..since the Iranians are Shia and the Saudis are Sunni there is a battle going on for the hearts and minds of the faithful…..and while they are spreading the extremism the US and its allies are spreading their cash and weapons among the Saudis like peanut butter on a waffle….
And all that aid is going into the destruction of their neighbor, Yemen…..all the death and destruction and violence that a good war brings to the table.
Let’s move on to our next “friend” Turkey……just like Saudi we supply Turkey with cash and weapons to keep them on our side in any conflict….but is our trust in their friendship misplaced?
For instance, the US big plan to deal with ISIS a well trained moderate militia may be a group that Turkey breaks with the US……according to McClatchy…….
GAZIANTEP, Turkey
The kidnapping of a group of U.S.-trained moderate Syrians moments after they entered Syria last month to confront the Islamic State was orchestrated by Turkish intelligence, multiple rebel sources have told McClatchy.
The rebels say that the tipoff to al Qaida’s Nusra Front enabled Nusra to snatch many of the 54 graduates of the $500 million program on July 29 as soon as they entered Syria, dealing a humiliating blow to the Obama administration’s plans for confronting the Islamic State.
Rebels familiar with the events said they believe the arrival plans were leaked because Turkish officials were worried that while the group’s intended target was the Islamic State, the U.S.-trained Syrians would form a vanguard for attacking Islamist fighters that Turkey is close to, including Nusra and another major Islamist force, Ahrar al Sham.
The only reason there is ‘little actual proof’ of Saudi involvement in that event, is that nobody ever did follow the money. My guess is that trail was closed because it led directly to Langley, Virginia, as well as to Saudi Arabia….
Just a guess, but, not far off the mark, I’d wager….
gigoid, the dubious
That is very true…I have posted a few articles in the past that we are trying to do just that…..follow the cash….US is covering their butts because of Exxon and the like are in bed with the bad guys….chuq
Aye, the same sort of coverup as the British monarchy is trying to suppress now in England, regarding the centuries of pedophilia pursued by the royals and MP’s…
The internet is pulling off all the scabs….

Yep I love and the problems the Vatican is having with its child fuckers….let ’em bleed. chuq
Not merely the Vatican; it appears a huge percentage of Westminster is involved, including former Prime Ministers and a triple handful of the peerage, including the royal family…
Check out what’s happening with Russell Brand today…. He may have been threatened by those involved for talking about it on You Tube; he’s suddenly discontinued his subscription channel, The Trews, after his last post, accusing the whole British government of pedophilia…
It’s looking a little chaotic out there, folks…. Ffolkes, of course, know this already….

I love it! Embarrass the toads they deserve it…..chuq
You Leave Our Saintly Royal Monarchy Alone……
Bloody Yanks……grin
No, no, you’ve mis-punctuated! That’s, “Bloody! Yanks!”, or,
“Bloody right, Yanks”
*wide grin*
Right then, Bloody Yank……grin
Yep. I have said that I would rather the countries of the Middle East use their resources to drive the bad ones out than the U.S. continue to lose its soldiers in such efforts. Unfortunately, that leads to the results you describe here. I’m not on to option three .. we just get out and let the place go up in flames.
I am beginning to think that you are right…..let the people decide what their future will be without our influence…..democracy will not work….
Peanuts on Waffle?
Other than that I agree..
Keep the good work up!
😉
Thanx….
