Iran vs Saudi Arabia

But why

Google it faggot, we are not making your homework.

>making
doing*

I'm a NEET, I haven't had homework in years. This is a political board so I assume there would be some people intelligent enough to be able to paraphrase on an easily comprehensible level. I wouldn't know where to begin reading and it would probably take all day to read through all the tidbits related to it which I don't give a shit about. I just want the synopsis.

burger jews want to destabilize everything around israel so that sand jews can profit

>>/sg/ for your answers

the media spins it as Assad being the problem behind the conflict

but really the conflict is over a gas/oil pipe line

Saudis wanted to run a gas pipe line threw Syria in to Turkey to supply the EU but Assad told the Saudis to fuck off

this is why Russia is supporting Assad Russia has a gas/oil pipe line into the EU and would of been a big loss for Russia if the Saudis build the pipe line

Why would Assad say no? Would he not benefit from the pipeline as well?

Wow, I thought it had something to do with Iraq still.

So who's fighting who exactly? Are Saudi's hiring ISIS or something? Why have I never heard Saudi Arabia being spun as being bad people in the media? Is there no evidence it's them?

The Arab spring was a meme, right?

Muslims don't crave democracy.

Please Isis is another group that America is backing under the table. Assad is the rightful rule of the region. Look up tweets many people hate the west for causing this conflict and saying "it's about overthrowing a dictator."

It about money, and those that hold the West's leash trying to cause Russia to collapse. A lot of natural resources to be gained if that happens.

Just read this: lrb.co.uk/v36/n08/seymour-m-hersh/the-red-line-and-the-rat-line

Really explains the gist of it and youll understand who is involved

US bad, Russia bad, Syrians bad, Kurds good

How are they backing ISIS? I know that the States initially funded the military group, and that they left a 1000 fucking humvees or something when they left; but is America actually funding them in any contemporary way?

Also, what are american troops doing in syria?

poo in loo

Iran want to protect the Shia domination in Syria and Lebanon. Saudi Arabia want to expand the sunni caliphate. The Kurds who live in the North want to make use of the civil war between the Arabs to get their independance. World powers use this conflict to expand their domination in the region (Russia support the Shia and USA support the Sunnis). Turks want to fuck everything up.

No, the ISIS meme is retarded.
ISIS is just Al Q that went even more radical. US never wanted to fund them because we have a rageboner against al q.
If we really wanted to help ISIS we wouldn't be attacking their strong hold right now

Basically a bunch of sand monkeys from various countries formed ISIS and began chimping out.

...

this.

its not a safe space its a hugbox

see 4 chan's pol for a good example of this they even have automatic scripts to echo friendly agreeable sentiments

>Assad is the rightful rule of the region
The majority of the population are Sunni monkeys. As much as I want Assad to rule the country, I don't think he'll be able to rule it again since the Sunnis chimped out
Saudis, Israel and USA trained ISIS in the beginning of the conflict.

>its not a safe space its a hugbox
???
Is there a difference I'm not aware of?

>ISIS is just Al Q that went even more radical. US never wanted to fund them because we have a rageboner against al q.
That's not true though. ISIS are the rest of the insurrectoin against the USA during the Iraq war in 2003-2011. Some of them were Al Qaida, most of them were not. You dumbasses trained them to fuck Assad.

It was a regime change operation just like in Libya except it failed.

Retarded US presidency didn't abandon policy mid-2012 when the opposition was taken over by islamists, whom are supported by the Saudis, Qatari, and Turks. Iran and Russia became involved and it turned into a big proxy war. US policy is especially retarded since they support the same terrorists that they originally went to war with 15 years ago.

THIS.

The common sense thing to do, if our politicians were not handpicked for their pedophile activities for blackmailing by the jewish supremacist deep state of the west would be to ally with Russia and kick the arses of the muzzies and the Chinese and have whites rule the world.

Jews do NOT want this to happen.

ISIS became important several years after the beginning of the Syrian civil war.

We gave arms to anyone who was against Assad. Some guns within two months of manufacture found themselves in terrorist hands. A decent chunk of isis came from saddam's former army. We kicked them out of all their jobs. Thousands of unemployed military men that just lost a war to the west, America never seems to have any plan after going to war.

Only the Sunni lower class is anti-government.

The Sunni middle/upper class is pro-government, though many aren't really all that friendly with the government they support it over the alternative. Half of Assad's army is Sunni.

ISIS's leadership comes from Al Qaeda of the two rivers though. Sure some of the Saddam guys joined in, and unlike Al Qaeda it's a Ba'ath group, but the original DNA was from Al Qaeda that broke off from Al Qaeda.

The fuck are you on about?

US has been supporting the rebels, Isis conviently rolls in and takes all that and is destabilizing the region. Which is in the interest of the US to longer term destabilize Russia with They maybe a more radical All Queda but quick question who trained and backed them to disrupt Russian hold on the area? The answer to that is the CIA

>US wanted Saudi pipeline through Syria
>Israel wanted to get rid of one of their strongest neighbors.
>Russia want port in Mediterranean and no competition from Saudi pipeline
>Erdogan wants new Ottoman empire and to remove kurd

So basically the US, Israel and Saudi have trained, armed and funded ''moderate rebels'' and Russia has been helping Assad remove them. Its not a civil war, its an invasion by proxy.

>quick question who trained and backed them to disrupt Russian hold on the area?
Sure in the 80's but that doesn't mean they still are. Now I guess you could make the argument that they still have connections they could use.

A better argument is that we supplied "moderates" who funneled the gear to ISIS against our wishes

My understanding is the plan has always been keep the area in turmoil install leaders sympathetic, or straight up under the West control.

Proxy war between NATO and Saudi Arabia vs Iran and Russia

>America has actively tried to destabilize the Middle East
>Implying Isis isn't doing just that

The connections are there because it's what we've been doing since say fucking one.

USA (and NATO) made a deal with Saudi Arabia (and other Gulf Arab states) to take down the secular government of Syria. The plan was to replace the Syrian government with a Saudi-friendly Sunni Muslim regime so a pipeline could go from Saudi through Syria and Turkey up to Europe. This would hurt Russia's bargaining position as an energy power. Al-Qaeda is also on the side of USA/NATO (for now) and fighting against the Syrian government. The Islamic State is a breakaway from Al-Qaeda, a rival jihadist. Meanwhile Iran and Lebanon backed up the Syrian government because they are Shia Muslims and hate the Sunni Muslim Saudis. Russia also backed up the Syrian government, to protect both its naval base on the Syrian coast and one of its few allies in the Middle East. On top of that you've got Kurdish socialists and Turkey in the mix. The result is a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

you DO realize longest running Sup Forums general and one of comfiest place here is syria general? Come join us at /sg/ and get all your questions answered. We are pro-Assad btw, except few Turks and Canadians who support moderate beheaders. Current edition of it is here:

>America has actively tried to destabilize the Middle East
For our own benefits you mong, ISIS doesn't help our plans at all. Cut it with this "le ebin empire" bullshit, it's a meme friendo.
We wanted to ruin the market of oil powers that were Sauds and Iranians, not destroy Iraq for no reason.
Why would we? what do we gain from ruining nobody's? ISIS ruined our region control. Stop sucking Putin's dick and think a little
