Been some "shots fired" on the Golan over the weekend involving rockets and air attacks, shells from tanks.

This is the latest statement from the Syrian side.

If sundry reports are to be believed, the Israelis are supporting some of the worst elements of rebels, for some reason.

Syria has bee pushing it’s luck for decades, allowing Iran to run arms through it to Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.

Now it appears it’s going to back terrorist (or perhaps even Syrian Army) activity in the Golan area.

With Putin’s involvement in the region, this could go South rather quickly.

It’s one of the reasons why I have advocated for our Congress, guys like McCain, Graham, and the other Leftists there, to back off on the hostility toward Russia.

At some point Russia is going to come to the conclusion, “What the heck! What do we have to lose by simply doing what we want? Those idiots in the U.S. don’t even appreciate us agreeing to fight ISIS in a unified manner.”

We are our own worst enemies at times, and it all seems to be feeding the Ezekiel narrative.

Not liking any of this...

There was a time when threats from the Syrian army meant something, needed to be given cobsideration. Those days are long past now.

The Russians and Syria do little against ISIS,

SDF, Syrian Democratic Forces, our guys beat ISIS back in Syria. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/06/backed-fighters-advance-syria-raqqa-170626035633935.html

ISIS nearly beaten in Iraq.

These are the real truths, not those retreading some rumors from 3 years ago saying we support terrorist.

Assad found to aid Al Qaeda.
