Looks like World War 3 incoming... But no worries, it'll be happening in the middle East. :/

Syria's crisis is nowhere near WW status. But it is eerily reminiscent of the Spanish civil war.

"what a shame" they could have been the fantastic five, five dudes ending the war.

U.S. delivers 50 tons of ammunition to Syria rebel groups

NASA or the education system in the US could have used that money.

LOL what the hell?

LOL what the hell?

arming rebels != training them

 

[Suen]

arming rebels != training them

As if it makes it any better, oh and here you go:

DoD lowers vetting standards for Syrian rebel training program

At least they are openly admitting now to training, supporting and allowing the movement of terrorists, something anyone with common sense (meaning not taking the commonly available western news outlets as some great credible sources, and more importantly than that stop believing in bullshit nonsense such as the western world never having a bad intention or doing things with intention to hurt and gain) understood a long time ago.

Here's hoping more US trained moderate rebelsterrorists get bombed to oblivion along with the rest of their trash comrades.

Meanwhile:

Tunisian Defense Minister Farhat Horchani said at least 250 Tunisian terrorists who fought alongside ISIS terrorist organization in Syria have fled to Libya after Russian air strikes started in Syria.

Arming rebels never goes wrong, right guys? Right?

people will be looking back at these events in Syria for the next 20 or so years, we are not even done with the Iraq chapter

putting an end to the training program would have been good if we could just walk away
it does not seem like Obama can walk away at all politically

the next President to take this on is what I worry about

Hey I mean it's not like our efforts to train insurgents in Colombia, Ecuador, Cuba, and Afghanistan didn't blow up in our faces or anything.

I have a feeling that there's some 90 year old five star general sitting somewhere in Pentagon going "We gonna win the same way we did when we armed rebels in Afghanistan USSR!". Why the fuck do they still choose to use this strategy, it's a glorified terrorist spawn point.

US policy has always been to play both sides for the mutual destruction of our enemies - on the other side of the globe.
I think we know things get worse, and that's why we do it.

 

[Eighty Deuce]

Why? We know those guns and ammo will end up in ISIS's hands. Why in the ever living fuck are we handing them the means to create more chaos?
