>The Bible talks about Israel" and being shocked almost like I criticized God. you should teach them that the schofield bible is blasphemy. the bible does not mention the modern state of israel. at all. not even once. abraham being promised some land is not the same as promising land to jews - because the sons of abraham includes arabs.

Brandon Martinez
This is true.
Nolan Brooks
>The SDF aren't like the Taliban or Al-Qaeda Confirmed shill, the SDF do the exact same things as both and are worse than ISIS because they have US backing and are a larger long term threat to the Syrian army and sovereignty see
I've gave my mom a link to that movie. She hasn't watched it yet. Several years back I told my mom and dad about the Palestinian Christians Israel put behind barbed wire fences.
Luke Harris
We haven't been fighting the SDF for the past 16-26 years. They haven't launched terror attacks on us.
Gavin Diaz
Neither did ISIS until we funded them or Bin Laden until we funded him. Why is this administrations priority to micromanage the internal affairs of countries that do not concern us?
Also we have grannyfuckermacaroni is KSA at the moment.
Who else is talking to who else? where is erdowurm?
Blake Sanchez
>We haven't been fighting the SDF for the past 16-26 years. Irrelevant, domestic US politics are not the issue here, the US should have never intervened in either Syria or Iraq and there would be no ISIS at all for that matter > They haven't launched terror attacks on us. Kurds have joined ISIS before and have committed terrorist attacks against US forces and their allies, they are Sunni scum after all ibtimes.com/kurds-joining-islamic-state-isis-finds-unlikely-supporters-among-turkeys-disgruntled-2029924

Interesting, Kuwait is rather serious about getting their citizens out of Lebanon >#Kuwait started evacuating Citizens from #Lebanon , sending flight that fits 330 passengers instead of 130 @Kuna_ar
Andrew Perez
cool. will give it a whirl.
Anywise, I'm out. later all
Asher Roberts
having to talk in person is such a waste, if they were civilized they would just post to some tucked away imageboard to discuss shit

Cameron Nguyen
The SDF isn't gonna attack us. The Kurds are usually pro-US. What are they gonna do? Sucide bomb us while screaming "BOOKCHIN AKBAR!"
Those are a few pro-ISIS Kurds. There are pro-FSA Christians too. The Kurds hate the Arabs, Turks, and Wahhabis. The SDF are also secular Communalists (Commies).
Parker Gutierrez
Netanyahu on defeat of ISIS: As ISIS moves out, Iran moves in. Iran wants to establish itself militarily in Syria, right next to Israel. Israel will not let that happen.
Jose Turner
>Bin Laden wont attack us. He's pro-US. He's a rich Saudi Business man who fought off the commies! Now lets ignore how many kurd groups are recognized as terrorist organizations and ignore the fact that they're also aligned with antifa. Once again I ask: why is this administrations priority to micromanage the internal affairs of countries that do not concern us?
Julian Sanders
>What are they gonna do? False flag attack that causes the US to get involved resulting in dead Americans, or whining about the SAA and getting the US involved They are already responsible for thousands dead Americans in Syria and Iraq, without the Kurds there would be less of an excuse for intervention. Any US support for Kurds is unnecessary and directly results in dead Americans
>There are pro-FSA Christians too Traitors* FTFY > The Kurds hate the Arabs, Turks, and Wahhabis. When its politically convenient to them and only then, the Saudi government supports the Kurds and they have no issue with receiving wahhabist funding/support
Charles Martin
Can somebody give me a quick rundown of why Saudi Arabia is suddenly gearing up to go to war with Lebanon? Is this all about getting at Iran? Where did this come from?
Josiah Gomez
who's hyped for the rematch with israel?
Carson Foster
>Where did this come from? have you not been paying attention to the ME for years? There's a proxy war for influence and authority going on the camps are roughly defined at Israel-KSA , supported by the US trying to defeat Iran and by proxy Syria and Hezbollah, supported by the SCO
Ian Lee
idk either but if pol doesn't side with the country fighting Le Sup Forums user, ill be disappointed.
Ethan Young
Of course I know the Saudi-Iranian proxy war has been ongoing. I'm well aware of Syria's geopolitics, I'm just surprised that the Saudis are suddenly going after Lebanon - ordering their citizens to leave the country doesn't admit of many interpretations. Something's going to go down soon.
Jaxon Ramirez
So Iran now has a land route all the way to the Med.
Nolan Sanchez
>ordering their citizens to leave the country doesn't admit of many interpretations. Something's going to go down soon. Its possible, however the did the same thing with Qatar and it ended up basically being nothing, next i would expect economic sanctions
Charles Ortiz
realistically, all we'll see is economic pressure being applied on Lebanon. The Saudis and co would need to move a noticeable amount of assets to actually carry out a bombing campaign against Lebanon. Economically the Saudis can really hurt Lebanon, but it'll lose them fully over to the Iranian sphere
Bentley Lee
Memes aside, it may be part of the bigger Saudi+Israel deal. War in Lebanon doesn't look like an option for KSA at least until they are struck in Yemen but definitely drops into Israel cup of tea and their smoldering confrontation with Hezbollah and Assad.
Nathaniel Cooper
Lebanon won twice against Israel already.
Benjamin Ramirez
I think having official ties with Israel will cause an uprising in Saudi or a war that will wipe Israel. I doubt MBS would survive that.
Nolan Sanders
that looks ugly as fuck muhammed
Ayden Collins
>pro-FSA Christians >
Blake Sullivan
Hezbollah is recognized as a terrorist organization too.
He's not micromanaging imo. He's checking Iran (Not invading).
>Traitors* >FTFY
No shit. The ISIS Kurds are Kurdish traitors.
The "moderate" terrorists do the false flags. The Saudis threw money at the Kurds because the "moderate" terrorists weren't doing well. The US backs the Kurds - does that make them Christian Capitalists now?
Ethan Rivera
>FSA No such thing. Are you baiting or something? It's just another Al-Qaeda rebrand atm.
Adrian Sullivan
There was even an Alawite on the Free Syrian Meme Army's civil council that would lead their new government (lol). Money talks.
Kayden Hughes
They existed. They often clashed with other groups. But the secular ones died, joined Assad, joined SDF, or are extremely small and less brave/competent than the jihadis. Or they only exist on paper. So basically there is "effectively" no FSA - especially now.
Asher Powell
You think Macron will come back to home?
Ryder Carter
He's just a drumpflet amerimutt echoing propaganda at you
Wyatt Cruz
>Hezbollah is recognized as a terrorist organization too. What's your point? I want the US to fix its own problems, I'm not advocating the US fund and arm Hezbollah either. >He's not micromanaging imo Of course he is you fucktard, when you fund and arm a dissident group rebelling against a sovereign nation you are micromanaging the the affairs of other countries. Something we have no business in doing unless invited by the legitimate and sovereign government of that nation. (and no overthrowing a government and installing a puppet state doesn't count as a legitimate government) >pic related are the guys that you're advocating funding
Grayson Rodriguez
>The ISIS Kurds are Kurdish traitors. All Kurds and anyone who supports them is a traitor >The "moderate" terrorists do the false flags. Kurds are moderate terrorists and have committed false flag attacks, see they are listed in the PDF > The US backs the Kurds - does that make them Christian Capitalists now? No, it makes the Americans who support them traitors or uninformed
The point is that they were some christian part of FSA (before it was radicalized)
Ryder Ross
>5 of the 6 kings of Saudi Arabia have been the sons of the first king who was born in 1875
lol didn't know that.
Bentley Rogers
>FSA (before it was radicalized) Never happened, it was always heavily salafist and co-opted by Nusra, there were never any peaceful protests in Syria and they were not organized by civilians by (((NGOs))) and armed terrorists who started firing at Syrian security forces first
Zachary Perez
No shit The FSA was just a anti gov't front before it got hijacked into al queda life
Zachary Bailey
but (((NGOs)))*
Connor Hernandez
I know cross threading is gay But is this true?
Lucas Wood
I feel sorry for Hezbollah and Syrian soldiers
>Finally managed to beat ISIS >NOw they have another huge war coming with Isr*el and S*udi
God damn no respite for those people
Jackson Collins
sure thing buddy next time try to follow the war from the beginning before you give an opinion
Isaiah Nelson
They are truly on a eternal crusade against the enemy
Logan Collins
doesnt make much sense to me because if Israel and Jordan are cooperating then they don't need to go through Syria
John Gomez
The US isn't going to get involved with the Kurds. They've already made that clear during the 'election' debacle. There's quite literally nothing in it for them.
William Adams
Reminder that the Saudis aren't going to war over Geopolitics
They're going to war because they lost their dignity to literal goatherders in the south
Luke Miller
>unironically believes in the (((MSM))) narrative >trying to call anyone else uninformed t. kike shill
Samuel Bailey
>can't beat a bunch of goat headers in their southern border >start a fight with coalition of battle hardened nations With the backing of Iran and turkey
Oliver Myers
Hez was made to fight Israel, and the Syrian Arab Army has Israel has their eternal enemy. So nothing new.
Caleb Diaz
Domestic and regional image demands the Saudis appear to not be cooperating with Israel even though its clear that they would
Brayden Brown
> and arabs die and Israel laughs at them. A war between Saudi and Hez (or Iran) will only benefit Israel.
Christian Parker
He is right tho For a very short while The FSA was a genuine oppostion to assad
Eli Rivera
>The FSA was a genuine oppostion to assad There was never a such thing as organic opposition that was not controlled by outside factors and there was never any organic protest movement organized by Syrian civilians, it was all western/saudi provocations through puppets
Jonathan Gutierrez
Yes And Arabs can't see it It's sad But a Iranian domination of the region will be best for the anti Israel front
Andrew Price
The FSA was 100% Syrian at one point in the very beginning. The international backing came later. This is revisionist history. I am 100% with President Assad but the Syrians did start an uprising in the beginning. It was orchestrated by Israel and Saudi, that came later.
William Clark
Just like the jews get whites to kill eachother.
Jack Hughes
Until the last moment i'll refuse to believe they actually will do it. MBS sacrificing his country for the interests of Israel is something too strange and too stupid to be true.
Jordan Baker
Yes That's true,it was a artifical opposition But it wasn't so radical at the start It started to swing rapidly to Islamist around early 2013
Being Arab (and Christian) im a bit wary of Iran. So far they have had good intentions, but they must understand that Syria and Iraq will remain arab. They have to respect their sovereignty and culture as friendly neighbours. Im with Iran in their anti-Israel stance, but I am against them having full infleunce on how these countries are governed.
Nolan Green
The West's foreign policy and support for Saudis is the definition of Sunk cost fallacy in play
Jason Gutierrez
>Israeli anti-corruption police question Netanyahu for fifth time
Sure they might have been sending arms. But the uprising was started by normal people. I dont think Assad dealt with it correctly in the beginning and fell for the trap.
Luis Thomas
That is true We don't know how far Irans Shia ambitions are going But Iran is slowly becoming more and more tolerant of cultures I want a iranian hegemony,but not a iranian vassles
Brandon Butler
I can't wait for Mike "turning fruits into vegetables" Pence to be president
Jeremiah James
>But the uprising was started by normal people. some useful idiots may have participated but the leaders and organizers were not normal people but foreign agents and terrorists
Sebastian Bailey
This He tried to genuinly negotiate with them He just should have rolled T 72 into their face
Jackson Fisher
>Wanting Mike "more neocon than Mccain"pence
Robert Martinez
What the fuck does Russia have anything to do with anything MBS does? Eliminating rivals in order to centralize power is something going back to the days of ancient Sumeria and Babylon. Are their brains that tiny? Yes. Libs deserve to lose if this is the best they can think of.
Dylan Price
>Donald Trump once acknowledged during an interview with Howard Stern that there may be “some racism” in America, and asked whether black people would kill him if he became president on a ticket with Oprah Winfrey.
Also Iran was not always an enemy of Israel. They were one of the first countries to recognise Israel, and have never actively fought against them yet in a direct war. Rumours claim that Israel helped Iran in the Iran-Iraq war (although im not convinced this is true). So far Iran has been great in their message towards the Palestinian cause, and I hope im wrong in my doubt.
Jace Martin
All the crying faggots on my campus might be worth it
Camden Barnes
I wonder what an Iranian dominated Middle East would look like. Let's assume virtually all the Middle East except Israel came under Iran's thumb in one way or another (Including Saudi Arabia). Would they become a moderating influence on the Sunnis? Would they push the Salafis against the West to distract from Sunni-Shia tensions? Would they be less friendly to the Christians because they don't need them anymore?
I worry Iran would become another villain and shit would repeat again.
Lincoln Wright
Pretty sure iran Who's entire foreign policy is "fuck the kikes and everyone that loves them" will work with them But who knows what shady shit those people are discussing behind close doors
Mason Parker
It's pretty ridiculous how they trying to portray Putin as embodiment of all evil and totalitarian and literally both Hitler and Stalin incarnate. If that's how their brains function i'm not surprised they loose.
