Russia and Jordan have agreed to "coordinate" military operations in Syria, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today after meeting his Jordanian counterpart.

"The armed forces of the two countries, the Russian and Jordanian forces, agreed to coordinate their actions, including those of their air forces over Syria," Lavrov told journalists in Vienna, adding that a "mechanism" had been set up in the Jordanian capital.

What's funny is Obama sent a general to Iraq warning them not to cooperate with Russia against ISIS.

Jordan has been with us for some time, dear leader continues to torque off our friends and coddle our enemies.

Iraq will choose Russia, which Obama will consider a win for his maladministration.

That is probably what triggered this sudden and much belated US activity in Iraq. The Iraqis probably demanded to see some action or they would welcome the Russians. It would make sense for them to play the US and Russia against each other as the best sugar daddy and heavy weapons section.

If you see this as another Obama failure, you are wrong.

Things are going just splendidly and according to plan.

Oh oh.

The only thing between Syria and Saidi Arabia is a little strip of Jordan.

Lots of bad actors in Syria.

Jesus Christ, is nobody in D.C. paying attention?

I’m no fan of the Saudis, but it would be really bad for us if Putin controlled the energy supplies in the gulf.

They’d better send an Armored Cavalry Regiment to Saudi Arabia just to keep things honest. That’s if we still have an Armored Cavalry Regiment.

All I heard on the news this AM was that the guy killed was acting in an advisory capacity....i.e., he wasn’t boots on the ground. BS.......

When Iraq originally asked for our help against ISIS, Obama said. ...it’s just a little civil war and you gotta settle it yourself.

Every day another circumstance that Opeaser, State Department, NSA, CIA, DIA, and others didn't see coming or were too incompetent or cowardly to react. Are there NO grown-ups left in our intell agencies? What? We only have satellite analysts looking at maps with their loops while being ignored? Is that where our intell stops?

Jordan is the only moderate muslim country in the region and has been somewhat neutral for decades. Putin now has them on board? Where the f*ck were our intell agencies? And if they knew and briefed Obama, where was he?

Now I GET why Israel has been talking with Russia. I originally couldn't understand why Israel was aligning with Russia.

Has it really come down to an ex-KGB agent to defend the world against ISIS? Yes,I know he is also supporting Abbas of Syria. So what? According to reports, Putin is killing the so-called Freedom Fighters along with killing the ISIS monsters.

And what has the Nobel Peace Prize winner Opeaser done to stop the conflict? Oh right, he got the Muslim Brotherhood Morsi installed in Egypt. Oops, until the military coup that kicked them out and installed Sisi.

Notice Opeaser has said little about the so-called palestinians stabbings and uprising? I've watched that story for decades and now the same ole same old from those sh*theads. Palestinians are a malevolent gutter people who cut their children's heads in rituals, teach them to hate everything in the Madrasses, and treat women as property. That's the least of their atrocities. Always amazes me that the United Nations ALWAYS comes down hard on Israel for defending their populace. The Palis ALWAYS start their crap.

Unfortunately the plan seems to be going too well.
