Too bad the wall won't keep their extremist ideologies and terrorism funding money in that god forsaken country.

 

[luxarific]

lol, what is this from?

 

[gutter_trash]

The USA did that too. They armed a lot of "moderates" that ended up joining ISIS.

Foreign involvement in a civil war will always result in a clusterfuck.

Lebanese civil war lasted 15 years and didn't have half the foreign involvement or rebel factions as this one. I think Syrian Civil War will last 25-30 years and this Wall will be built far before it ends, sad to say.

Yup, US have a bad habbit of doing things in the ''short term'' that end up biting them in the ass years later.

The ISIS problem propped up allot faster than past blowbacks which is scary

Look at the removal of Ghadaffi in Libya... that place is already festering into separate opposing factions and gonna be another danger zone

ISIS will be the least of their problems when the Mongolians come.

A Geico Advert apparently. Though who they are i have no idea, i watched with the sound off

 

[captainnapalm]

Not surprised they want to wall themselves off. They would know as well as anyone how much of a hellhole they are helping to turn the region into.

hahaha. that was great.

 

[Stereogatari]

Syria is a three way battle right now of I'm not mistaken. IS, Assad and the rebels who are fighting both.

This is exactly it. But the conspiracy theories of Turkey and the Gulf supporting ISIS will continue.

ISIS will be the least of their problems when the Mongolians come.

Well their cousins the Turks came and went from there already

This reminds me of something out of Metal Gear Solid.

I have a feeling Saddam wouldn't have allowed this IS thing to happen in his country. And our presence there allowed IS to become armed with some of the most sophisticated military hardware in the world because of all that stuff we left behind for the Iraqi army.

yea, invading iraq was a horrible idea. Bush and his team fucked it up big time. Now countless people are dead, women and girls are being used as sex slaves, hundreds of people are dying horrible deaths daily at the hands of these barbaric savages.

Worked for the Israelis didn't I?

ISIS is Saddam's people though.

There is nothing in MGS comparable to this.

 

[hipbabboom]

ISIS is essentially holding the entire country hostage since if non-ISIS people try to move out of the way so ISIS forces become an isolated target, I'm sure they would be massacred. It such a separation were possible, I would cast my vote on any means of mass-destruction that can be targeted at ISIS as I have no respect for their right to live or even a humane death.

 

[Mohonky]

You gotta laugh a lot at the USA then. I don't think there is any major terrorist organisation they didn't fund at some point.

Yeop.

Rambo in particular is glorious. When he goes to Afghanistan to fight off the Soviets, and they are trumpeting the brave the honourable Taliban to aid Rambo.

Mind you, the British have done more than their fair share of fucking other countries too.

This particular conflict is interesting because Saudi Arabia and IS have similar societal ideals. They obviously differ on who should be enforcing those ideals.

 

[yellow submarine]

India should do the same at the Pakistani border.

Why build a wall when you can just move in, declare it part of India and the build the wall on the Afghani border??? Ayyyyy lmao.

 

[AntoneM]

I guess the Saudi government is afraid of competition.

High five!

A wall doesn't stop modern armies, just spies and even then there are so many more ways for spies to infiltrate their nation. This wall is a waste of their time and money.


Whatever.

I'm glad Saddam was removed but I readily admit there were unintended consequences.

ISIS grew in strength because Saddam's military joined their ranks and the Iraqi majority have mishandled their politics with the Sunnis. Though in the second case what can be expected when it was the Sunni's who benefited the most under Saddam.

Whatever.

ISIS is no modern army though. Despite a lot of resources I highly doubt that they can match an actual one. The wall can limit their operations and make it easier to alert troops to counter engage them.

God, the border nuts in America must have the biggest boners right now.

I was just going to post this. "Why can Saudi Arabia build a Great Wall, but Obama won't finis the fence and reinforce the border? It's because he hates America and wants illegal immigrants to take our jobs and mooch off welfare."

It's cause Obama is a Moslem, bruh.

Hope they don't have category 3 ISIS.

It would be a mistake to not consider in what ways they are a modern army. You can be given the greatest tech in the world but be totally behind in modern strategies and tactics.

ISIS as a force isn't Turkey, Iran or Israel but they have veterans now who understand modern technology and how it changes warfare. Besides some of their infantry equipment is definitely modern even if their vehicles are behind.

 

[Delta Assault]

I watched Pacific Rim. This plan won't work, guys.

 

[purnoman3000]

Or you could, you know, dedicate those resources to getting rid of ISIS/ISIL instead....
