Saudi Arabia
ISIS
Saudi Arabia is such a horrible country.
How are they the allies of the United States? I mean, I understand why they are, but why is anyone okay with this?
The head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard said on Saturday Saudi Arabia lacked the courage to go through with a plan to send ground troops to Syria, and warned they would be wiped out if they went in.
Mohammad Ali Jafari’s blunt words on the Fars news agency were Iran’s first official reaction to a statement from its regional rival Saudi Arabia this week that it was ready to join ground operations in Syria if a U.S.-led military alliance decided to start them.
“(The Saudis) have made such a claim but I don’t think they are brave enough to do so … Even if they send troops, they would be definitely defeated … it would be suicide,” Jafari was quoted as saying.
Western ground troops in Syria – from any country – would definitely show this fraud for what it is, as they would be clearly fighting on the same side as ISIS against Assad.
Two days ago, Russia said they had intelligence indicating Turkey was planning to invade Syria to defend ISIS. Erdogan called the accusation “laughable,” but today Western analysts are saying they might go ahead and do it.
AFP:
With rebel forces facing the prospect of a crushing defeat by Syria’s Russian-backed regime, their allies Saudi Arabia and Turkey may send in limited numbers of ground troops, analysts say.
…
Russia, which along with Saudi Arabia’s regional rival Iran is a major ally of Assad, meanwhile has accused Turkey of “preparations for an armed invasion” of Syria.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the claims “laughable”.
But Krieg said Erdogan’s policy in Syria has achieved nothing so far.
“Turkey and Saudi need to turn this war around. So any Saudi engagement would be in cooperation with Doha and Ankara,” he added.
Aleppo province is among the main strongholds of Syria’s armed opposition, which is facing possibly its worst moment since the beginning of the nearly five-year war, at a time when peace efforts have stalled.
The Saudi-backed opposition umbrella group, the High Negotiations Committee, says it will not return to peace talks which recently collapsed in Geneva unless its humanitarian demands are met.
“The Saudis believe that the chance of a peaceful solution for the Syrian crisis is very limited,” said Mustafa Alani, of the independent Gulf Research Centre.
“They don’t see that there is a real pressure on the regime to give major concessions… They think eventually it will have to end in the battlefield,” Alani said.
“Turkey is enthusiastic about this option (of sending ground troops) since the Russians started their air operation and tried to push Turkey outside the equation,” he added.
How are you supposed to read that?
Russia is bombing ISIS. Turkey is upset about Russian involvement.
That necessarily means Turkey has a desire to defend ISIS.
Alani said the Saudis are serious about committing troops “as part of a coalition, especially if the Turkish forces are going to be involved”.
But he and other analysts said Saudi involvement would be limited, given its leadership of a separate Arab coalition fighting in Yemen for almost a year and guarding the kingdom’s southern border from attacks by Iran-backed Yemeni rebels.
…
Krieg said that with Saudi and other Gulf kingdoms “bogged down” in Yemen, he could only foresee a possible expansion of “train and equip” missions involving Gulf special forces to help rebels in Syria.
“Saudi and Qatar have already networks on the ground,” he said, viewing Doha as a link between Riyadh and Ankara as relations improve.
On Friday, US Central Command spokesman Pat Ryder welcomed Saudi Arabia’s willingness to send soldiers against IS.
The United States has been calling on coalition members to do more.
In November, the United Arab Emirates said it was also ready to commit ground troops against jihadists in Syria.
It is insane that major media can publish claims that Saudi Arabia would be going in to fight ISIS without criticism.
It is a known fact that Saudi is funding ISIS. It is also just a basic fact that ISIS follows the same sect of Islam as Saudi, and they tend to support the exact kind of society ISIS is attempting to build.
Both Turkey and Saudi are trying to destroy the Shiites, which is why Saudi is at war with Yemen. If they went into Syria, they would have the same goal as the US has, which is to support ISIS (while goofily pretending they don’t) and attack Assad and his backers, which are Iran, Hezbollah and Russia.
And there is zero doubt that if the West sends in ground troops, Russia is going to do the same. Meaning the West would officially be involved in a hot war against Russia.
Why would anyone want this?
There is only one Presidential candidate which doesn’t support this, by the way.
