hrc 156 Posted March 26, 2015 Ha ha! Saudis supporting owerthrow of government in Syria , and at the same time supporting "legitimate" government in Yemen from owerthrow. Their PR personas should advise them to refrain from such imbecilic statements. When one day the fall of the House of Saud comes it will be a grand spectacle for sure. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atreides 144 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Ha ha! Saudis supporting owerthrow of government in Syria Preface: Having lived in the Mideast for two decades, I'm not ranting from a position of ignorance. Saudis are the vilest scum around they're Sunnis who support Wahhabism , the ideology that is the pillar of strength for ISIS' "Islamic caliphate" view, ISIS is Sunni, Boko Haram is Sunni, Al-Qaida is Sunni and Al-Nusra Front is Sunni (see the trend ?). The reason they dislike Assad is because he's Shiite and an Alawaite at that, which is absolute Haram to them. The Alawaites and the Christians of Syria have an alliance that goes back centuries to protect themselves from religious persecution of the Sunnis. There's a good reason that Assad has 100% support of Syrias Christian population. What will happen to the Syrian Christians and other minorities if Assad is overthrown, wholesale massacre of Christians and non-Sunnis that's what. Hopefully the SAA with Iranian support will terminate all of these scum including the FSA aka Al-Qaida "freedum fighters" with extreme prejudice and great violence. Kicking out Assad will result in the same shit hole mess that is "free" Libya now All the Syrian Christians that I've met here in Toronto down to the last adult and teen support Assad, and for good reason too. Cant' Mossad the Assad. Edited March 26, 2015 by Atreides 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hrc 156 Posted March 26, 2015 Saudis also hate Syrian gvmnt and Iranian gvmnt. because they are populistic and revolutionary, Baath party in particular. Such parties are inherently opposed to monarchies and royal houses which Saudi royal house is, and such ideas are a threat to them. Why do you think Saudis are begging USA to bomb Iran, they have even said that they would allow Israeli jets to fly over their teritory if they decide to strike Teheran...

Atreides 144 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Saudis also hate Syrian gvmnt and Iranian gvmnt. Yes and also because Iran is also Shia just like Syria. Also, after Iraq was "taken care of " the only credible threat to Saudi interests is Iran especially it's military, which regionally speaking is combat hardened in comparison to the soft Saudis who couldn't fart in the dark without Murica holding their hand. They see Iran as a threat and with all of it's empty sabre rattling Iran does itself no favours and makes itself a convenient scape goat. The only Shia military power in the region is Iran and that frightens the Saudis. Good ! Edited March 26, 2015 by Atreides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant' Mossad the Assad. Thank you, that seems a very balanced description of the situation. Perhaps by treating with Iran Obama might be doing the right thing for a change as it may lead to a better balance of power. Of course this region is so unstable we may yet see a nuclear armageddon as a consequence of encouraging Iran. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atreides 144 Posted March 26, 2015 we'll wipe them out Wipe whom out ? All Arabs ? You need to elaborate that sentence a bit otherwise you just sound like an angry shlomo who's just lost all his shekels ! They are supposed to have MiG-29 and 21. Are they flight worhty? They do and they are flight worthy one was involved in the recent bombing of the presidential palace. The aircraft are most likely grounded due to the factious loyalties of their pilots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lazarus1177 164 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Speaking of the Saudi military,this brings an interesting story to mind.My uncle just 2 years back was deputed to the KSA as a defense attache.The job,to overlook the administration of the training of some Saudi border units.You'd expect them to be highly trained right??At morning most of the soldiers would turn up in quite an interesting getup.Some would still be in their slippers,some would only have one shoe on,most of them were missing important equipment and had improperly assembled rifles.Plus,some of them can't even speak a lick of English.Yup,this is the Saudi conventional military.No wonder they get other countries to do their dirty work.

jeanba 1,920 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Yes, this is fairly wall known, that some unit training is "bad" Same for fighter pilots, though some of them are good, some of them seem to take this as a sunday activity Edited March 27, 2015 by jeanba 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShrikeHawk 384 Posted March 27, 2015 Well now, where are all the folks who said the US was vile and evil because of drone strikes in Yemen? Now the Saudis are striking Yemen, and where are all the guys who condemned the US for aggression, hmm? Where are they who said the US attacks for no good reason? Oh right, probably drinking champagne and swallowing oysters in an ivory tower somewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh right, probably drinking champagne and swallowing oysters in an ivory tower somewhere. Because it's trendy to talk crap about every American action and to demonise it. And because when an oil rich Muslim kingdom does it no one wants to be critical of it for fear of being labelled an Islamaphobe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted March 29, 2015 Actions are no longer important, only who does them. No matter what happens, if it's done by someone you don't like, you spin it as bad. If it's done by someone you like, it gets spun as good. Whether it's interrogation or torture depends solely on who ordered it. This is what the introduction of formally biased media, with the idea of unbiased journalism unceremoniously dumped on its ass, has done for the world. If the guy on the other side does exactly what you would have done, you slam him for doing it for the wrong reason. Or you slam him for doing it too soon, or too late, or in not the 100% exact way you would've done it. Under NO circumstances can you say or even imply that you agree, EVER, with what was done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
