China prepares to join the fight against ISIS

作者: Radwa Ashraf on 7 October , 2015.

Al-Masdar Al-Arabi reported that Chinese military advisers are expected to join with their Russian counterparts in weeks. It comes after China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said that Chinese and Iraqi foreign ministers agreed to offer intelligence and personal training in September 2014. As China breaks it’s long history of non-interference, due to the threats that ISIS pose on China and its economy.

“China has been fighting terrorism and has been providing support and assistance to Iraq, including the Kurdish region, in our own way, and will continue to do so within the best of our capabilities,” Hong explained. As China has shown solidarity with Syria, joining Russia vetoeing UN proposals against Bashar al-Asaad.

Along those same lines a possible allegiance between Russia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria with the possibility of China joining in what’s called “Joint Information Center” in Baghdad against ISIS could prove to be a troublesome allegiance to the US and its allies. As it was said China’s J-15 warplanes would launch from an aircraft carrier for attacks on ISIS.

I have no idea if any thing I am reading these days is backed by facts. This seems like a credible news source and names names. The American press is silent on Syria - either they don't have reporters on the ground and don't know either (highly plausible) or the fourth estate is covering for Obama's and Kerry's failures and keeping news of Syrian events on the downlow as much as possible.

It took America 40 years to get the Communists out of the Middle East. We then dominated it for about two decades. And in a few short years, Obama gave it all away and let them back in. He’s a complete failure.

Good if true.
We don’t need to be involved in that mess.

Considering all the terrorist bomb explosions going on daily in the Muslim parts of Western China, I believe the Chinese see this as self-defense.

Muslims like to brag they are "1 billion strong". Seems the only thing that unites the other 6.3 billion of us is being Anti Muslim

My “Islam screeches to a halt when the ChiComs nuke Mecca” theory remains on-track.

Yes. That is what happened. There are two possible theories as to why it happened:

1. Obama is a Sunni Muslim and all is going pretty much per plan.

2. Obama wants to bring Democracy to the Middle East, an impossible task.

Watch the Chinese to send their special forces against Uighur ISIS cells and to focus on visibly supporting the govt of Iraq and the Kurds while the Russians focus on Syria
Not sure China wants to jeopardize its commercial ties with Turkey or the saudis so it will be a balancing act , plus they have to keep an eye on what we do in the South China Sea

But by simply showing up and flying some sorties in combined ops with Russia Iran and Iraq, the Chinese will make a statement of their alignment and the U.S. will be further marginalized

If you're concerned about communists, don't look at Russia or China.

The USA more closely fits the definition of communism than either of them at the moment.

Well now, Obama has fulfilled his fondest hope. America as a third world county with no friends, respect or credibility. Hope and change has worked thanks to the morons that voted him in once and twice because he is black. It goes to prove just how stupid the American public really can be and remains so. My disgust with what I see today is total.

That was like 40 years ago. I don’t know if China improved or of Vietnam degraded militarily since then.

"I'm in Camp #1. "

Can't it be both? Compounding stupid with betrayal?

If Obama is Sunni then having Shia Iran take over Iraq is NOT part of the plan.

IF this is true, and it probably is, then the world is headed for complete instability — a world without American power. If somehow the United States could be set back on the right course tomorrow, it would take years to rebuild the military.

And the Republicans have been content to let it happen, to help cause it to happen. The Republicans may long for the day when their biggest dread in the universe was a government shutdown. Their freakin’ miserable lives may be in danger.
