This is a great Frontline episode about the recent history of US involvement in Syria, including the events leading up to the rise of ISIS.

I can't pretend to know enough about it to say whether this is on the money or not, but it seems to make a reasonable point.
- interesting readingBen99
- Good read. France is surely playing into their hands to declare war so readily. Exactly the reaction they must have expected.sarahfailin
- France didn't really have a choice, it's what angry people will demand. If they actually do anything differently remains to be seen.formed

It's a bit long, and I'll warn that there's some triggers words like climate change is not man made, but if you could look past some of that, this is a really interesting narrative of what is happening in the ME and the world at large. Also touches on why so many powerful people are becoming more vocal on the threat of AI.
- ... and I mean more David Ickes' narrative, not pill peddling Alex Jones.IRNlun6

I've been using this video to explain to my daughter the problems in the Middle East. It's a basic and quick rundown of the history and the major players that have helped to create the current situation. We have watched it together a few times since he speaks very fast. It may not be perfect but at least it explains things chronologically.
Well made imo, sorry I only know of a Spanish version w/ English subtitles.

- Getting a little bored with these "truth telling" comments. Yes let's not be PC but the reality is that the majority of Muslims don't even live in the Middleyuekit
- East, are a completely different culture than Iraq and Syria and probably not too aware of all these events.yuekit

We keep hearing the same media buzzwords...
Protecting our interests
Bringing democracy
Stabilising the region
These things take time
Deep network of terrorist organisations
Radical IslamYet if you bring it right down to basics, the political elite of Syria and the middle east in general ride roughshod over the ordinary working people. This whole conflict started over water.
Asshat made sure his land owning cronies got it all and the local farmers protested because they lost their livelihoods. The Iron fisted response has led to civicl war. The sectarianism just so happens to underline the socio economic situation.
What did the US do, give them weapons because regime change suits their agenda. Domination of energy markets.
Because If they'd actually wanted to do something for the people, they'd have given them jobs instead.
- you forgot FREEDOM!fadein11
- Remember the Arab spring?monoboy
- Sounds like any dictatorship... are you surprised?fadein11
- I would like to remind you that "asshat" was america's boy when he was arboring american black sites, but it's ok , he was good thenGeorgesII
- btw this whole conflict didn't start over water, it's purported as the cause, but water didn't send weapons to the rebels to stage an uprising..GeorgesII
- what kind of jobs?yurimon
- $2.74 billion could fund a few re-building programmes.monoboy
- shelter, food, water, energy, transportation, communication. that kind of jobs.uan
- It seems that the only people paying a wage are jihadists.monoboy

Russia's presence has shown NATO and regional allies undeniably supporting, training, and financing radical jihadis to overthrow Assad. As hard as NATO and it's allies try to project a unified front to this conflict, Russia's involvement may also be exposing internal conflicts within NATO in regards to the strategy being carried out.
I don't believe there is 100% internal consensus in supporting CIA dirty wars. Those who internally opposed may have been out numbered and if so, Russian involvement may have changed that dynamic for now.
- Plenty of countries opted out of involvement in Afgham post 9/11, NATO is rarely unified.fadein11

You have to give it to the US, they know how to win a propaganda war,
not even a week after the bad bear started bombing them,
an isis representative comes out and says the US took out the organisation number 2,now how isis know the bomb that landed on him was from the Us is another questions,
even cnn is doubting this claim, cause they had already killed him before, but the us is damm sure it's him though!!
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/2…
word of advice, if you ever get involve in a Te'rrist organisation always aim to the first or third position and stick to it, no moving up the ladder for you mate, they always take out the number 2,
you have to give it to the onion though, they are always on point
http://www.theonion.com/article/…- I'm reading this:
IS spokesman Abu Mohamed Adnani said in an audio record published on jihadist websites. “I will not mourn him... he whose only wish wasuan - to die in the name of Allah ... he has raised men and left behind heroes who, God willing, are yet to harm America,” he added.uan
- the news is only the confirmation by IS, Qurashi, was announced dead by the US near the city of Mosul on August 18.uan
- and I read this as IS propaganda.uan
- uan, have you ever heard of rita katz, she's the only source of isis torture video, same person that was behind all the alqaeda videos, googleGeorgesII
- SITE Intelligence Group ad, 100% of the isis video releases or speech comes from her company: http://www.ynetnews.…GeorgesII
- no, I didn't know about SITE. But of course I suspect IS' strings to be pulled from somewhere else. they rose to fast and to evil to be a legit movement.uan

Sorry to sound dumb, but if we support Assad like the Russians are, would that make things any easier? (not saying we would ever do that).
Nothing makes any sense to me anymore, and I try and understand. Sheeple who just read the newspapers probably think we're doing a great job and are still rooting for us to WIN WIN WIN!- ian no one is dumb here, coz no one knows really what's going on, but the main thing is that I'm personally sick of the war for profit aspect of this shit!GeorgesIV
- btw, do you remember when the UN instated a no fly zone over lybia thus allowing the rebels to maim and kill, now they're crying wolf like they actually careGeorgesIV
- about syrian lives,GeorgesIV
- Yeah, I know what you mean man. It's dogshit. I just don't like how war is treated as a form of protection.Ianbolton
- Or mass immigration is becoming an issue due to something we were so stupidly involved in in the first placeIanbolton
- $£$£$£$£$£$£Ianbolton
- The leading narrative against Assad is that he's brutal to his own population. Yet Turkey and Saudi Arabia are the leading regional players trying to oust him.IRNlun6
- People of the West need to realize these wars are not for peace, freedom and democracy. These wars are to destroy countries and strip them of their wealth.IRNlun6

Really great info in here to understand Russia which some seem to be battling with.
- Glen Beck? I've watched but 16 seconds and decided that this is 99.9% likely to be utter bullshit.
I'm not even going to bother watching the rest.detritus - Surely you've got to be trolling, right?
No one outside of the Fox-watching sub-classes would ever consider posting Beck.detritus - All you had do was stop at Hayoth.isleptwithsirenstonight
- anyone taking glen beck seriously, should be sent to syria, wtfGeorgesIV
- Glen Beck? shit, thanks for the warning Det.
WILL NOT BANGmoldero - ^ WTF is wong with you guys? Dispute the information. Only someone brainwashed would have your type of reactions.Hayoth
- Beck completely whitewashes the Ukraine conflict by beginning with Russia taking over the Crimea.IRNlun6
- Never mentioning how with aid from the west, a democratically elected government was overthrown to force them to take IMF loans instead of Russian loans.IRNlun6
- And like many warned, including Russia, Ukraine is now in severe debt, their assets are being sold off and the population is under austerity.IRNlun6
- Dealing with the IMF is a fools bargain. Always has been, always will be.IRNlun6
- Glen Beck? I've watched but 16 seconds and decided that this is 99.9% likely to be utter bullshit.

it's literally disgusting seeing how cnn, bbc and other so called free newspaper are treating this situation,
every fuckn article I read is about how russia is exacerbating the situation, how NATO and the US will have to step in to help the rebels,
what is this fuckn century we're leaving in, so bizzare, yet everyone buys it, those are the same cunt that sold us the last 15 years of war for democracy, this is the same NATO who placed a no fly zone over libya and bomb them to pieces, this is the same US who destroyed [take a dart, open a world map and trow it somewhere, name country]
how can you still fuckn trust them, this is what makes me even madder,
- not leaving but living, u get my angah!GeorgesIV
- if you're the US, NATO, UN, Turkey, etc etc, then Russia are exacerbating the situation. Western media reporting from a western perspective.Fax_Benson
- main stream journalism is clearly biased.
alternative: research the opinion of the other side (who is also biased) and make your own opinion.uan - I've been looking for a free independent press for years now, but it only got worse in the last couple of years.uan
- the mainstream media never discusses the geopolitics that are really behind decisions on both sidesyuekit
- The BBC does to an extent, beyond the surfaceFax_Benson

@ben according to the official story:
some poor chaps wanted more democracy, so they manifested peacefully, but the bad bad spawn of hell assad, couldn't handle it (coz hes a pussybitch),
so he sent his minions of hell massacre these poor defenceless women and children, after all, they were syrians, it's not like he would have let them get killed by someone else...
Cue to the well trained, well armed FREEEEEEEDOMM fighters, who happened to be also well trained in guerrilla warfare and luckily had access to all kind of weapons from the local Costco. those poor syrian army was able to immediately take over a large span of the country and keep in with barely no help from the Allied...
sometimes though these weapons just fell on their laps, they were godsend, they kept on being dropped from the sky, some also came from the now free and democratic Libya with jihadist/mercenary attached to them like kinduh surprise!
anyway
Fuckn dictator Assad whom had a big support from the majority of the population who had seen how much democracy had worked in Irak, Afghanistan, Libya.
Dat same population that is more scared of those from the free syrian army then their soul sucking blood drinking beheading, torturing raping democratic evil dicator, but it's ok, according to the western new assad is responsible to 99.9% of the death, coz u know, he's the president of syria, if rebels/isis kill people then it's his fault, he should have just left after all,
what an asshole
-I'll jump a little bit, coz I have shit to do-
Cue in to chemical weapons attack, all western media accused assad of being the perpetrator and that we should bomb his army so that the syrians can be free again, just like Lybia.
John Kerry.... oooh johny boy, I won't even rehash what he said, but we're still waiting for the proof from the US, but who needs proof when you live in an unilateral world
Anyways, Master P cockblocked the US, made a deal with assad to clean up the remnant of chemical weapons, baring his brand new titanium grill master P said nobody is touching Assad, nah ha, not on my watch biutch!!
This started a new dalliance between assad, putin and now china aka the freedom hating love triangle!!!
-The end-
(sorry, I probably gloss over someshit) but this is the jeez of the story!!
