Woofers

I am too kind to the TFSA. I will continue to call them that in Syria, but will only refer to them as "Syrian mercenaries" in Libya because that is what they are. I will also never bestow upon them the title of the "Syrian National Army". They have done nothing to deserve that.

At least 4 Syrian mercenaries have been killed in Libya since they were moved there a week or so ago. Suggesting that they are very quickly being put into combat.

In a video posted, it's mentioned that "150 Turks" are fighting alongside the GNA in Tripoli. This likely means Turkmen from Sultan Murad, who has the only announced fatality from Libya.

For those knocking on it, doing donuts with tanks is a well established military doctrine in Libya:https://t.co/tWRqAJwAtp— Oded Berkowitz (@Oded121351) January 7, 2020

#Libya- video of LNA fighting near Khallet Alforjan, Ain Zara, outskirts of #Tripoli.

Classic combined-arms tactics:

-Couple of dudes taking potshots with an MG in general direction of enemy

-Tank doing donuts

-Someone walking by with an RPG

-A guy on his back filming it all

You think? I don't think I've ever seen Sultan Murad fighters speaking Turkish amongst each other in their videos. Woofers

I really don't think that Turkey has a company's worth of soldiers fighting on the front line. And if they did, the GNA most certainly wouldn't be losing ground. It's the only thing I really see as possible. Then again, I'm sure the LNA could have told him to say this.

Great post, thanks.

I knew it wasn’t a binding resolution.

Lots of “face saving” goes on in these countries.

FOX reporting the DOJ now says Michael Flynn deserves at least 6 months in prison.

Always liked Pat Sajak. Praying for his full recovery.

Thanks.

At least s/B at most.

Golden Globes viewers have spoken, and they want Ricky Gervais to host “every year.” A whopping 71% of fans who voted in our recent poll said he did an “amazing” job overseeing the 77th ceremony on NBC. To compare, 9% thought he was “good, but forgettable” while the remaining 20% of haters voted that he was “awful.” What did YOU think of Gervais hosting the 2020 Golden Globes? Be sure to sound off down in the comments section.

A couple of years back my Aussie DIL complained to me that she was scared to go to the big cities especially Sydney as the Somalis that had been let in as refuges were committing car jackings.

They had never had such a thing before.

I told her welcome to our problems.

U.S. implements plan to send Mexican asylum seekers to Guatemala Mexicans seeking asylum in the United States could be sent to Guatemala under a bilateral agreement signed by the Central American nation last year, according to documents sent to U.S. asylum officers in recent days and seen by Reuters. In a Jan. 4 email, field office staff at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) were told Mexican nationals will be included in the populations "amenable" to the agreement with Guatemala. The agreement, brokered last July between the administration of Republican President Donald Trump and the outgoing Guatemalan government, allows U.S. immigration officials to send migrants requesting asylum at the U.S.-Mexican border to apply for protection in Guatemala instead. Mexico objects to the plan, its foreign ministry said in a statement late on Monday, adding that it would be working with authorities to find "better options" for those that could be affected Alejandra Mena, a spokeswoman for Guatemala's immigration institute, said that since the agreement was implemented in November, the United States has sent 52 migrants to the country. Only six have applied for asylum in Guatemala, Mena said. On Monday, an additional 33 Central American migrants arrived on a flight to Guatemala City, she said. https://news.yahoo.com/u-implements-plan-send-mexican-173219429.html So a Mexican heads north to illegally enter United States, and ends up in Guatemala. 🤠

Wait until they have an Omar in their government.

NIKK, good thread by @drawandstrike on Trump and Saudi Arabia.

There’s two big dogs in the ME, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Trump kinda made it clear already which big dog he’s backing.

So of course Gabbard and the Dems and the Ron Paul wing of the GOP want to go back to the Obama days

Chief among the nations in the region that didn’t like the idea of being the vassal state of a Russia-backed Iranian nuclear power was Saudi Arabia.

So the Gulf Cooperation Council formed, chiefly as a way to pool resources to guarantee security in the region & check Iran

Way back in early 2009, when the Saudi king met Obama for the first time & took his measure, he realized one thing:

Obama not only wasn’t going to HELP check Iran, he was going to FACILITATE the rise of Iran.

All Obama wanted to talk about was Israel.

One of the very first things that Trump did upon assuming the Presidency was facilitate a huge Saudi arms deal that makes their military the most advanced in the region.

Now, our media does what it usually does. It takes our enemies & builds them up far beyond reality.

But conventionally the best military in that region is not Iran.
Far from it. The best military in the Middle East is the combined GCC forces, which keep a low profile and often deploy as local or regional forces in places like Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere.

It was not the US Military ground forces grabbing ISIS by the belt buckle and getting up close and personal in house to house fighting in places like Mosul in Iraq and Syria.

We were air and arty support only.

What Trump does is be the lightening rod, hold the attention, and let other people work quietly behind the scenes.

So sure, hell yes Trump publicly takes credit for ISIS being wiped out. And the GCC is fine with it. It’s a partnership.

So a lot of the people who follow the US news media are buying into the idea that Iran has the best military in the region, and if the US leaves, they are going to EASILY dominate all their neighbors.

That’s not what’s going to happen.

The very first foreign trip Trump made was to Saudi Arabia, and all anybody remembers about it is one photo:.....

Me.... just part of his comments, goes along with what we’ve been posting.

Upon directives from HRH the Crown Prince, I had the pleasure of meeting with @RealDonaldTrump yesterday to deliver a message from the Crown Prince, and review aspects of our bilateral cooperation, including efforts to confront regional and international challenges. pic.twitter.com/q7uXlgSjx8— Khalid bin Salman خالد بن سلمان (@kbsalsaud) January 7, 2020

Was just strolling through Twitterville, and saw that Meagan McCain was trending....

Evidently, the libs are mad at Liawatha Warren for admitting to Megan that Sollydude WAS, in fact, a terrorist.

One of the replies, sums up all we need to know, about the fantasyland that libs live in...

He was a General & a Diplomat. Of course he killed Americans because he was fighting for our enemies. I understand he also wiped out Isis. He was both our enemy and ally. Terrorist is a word that we use to demonize our enemies.— johnboy (@yobnhoJ71) January 7, 2020

You CANNOT make this cr@p up. They truly are UNHINGED.

[Lakeside Granny]

Does a lib EVER logically think through something.

I fear the answer is NO.

They are incapable.

[miserare]

Thanks for the laughs! 😹

yobnhoJ71 is British, I am not surprised.

1. I’ve been asked what John Bolton is doing. I have no idea. I am confused by the legal decisions to date given the latest statement.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 7, 2020

2. My own view remains that this impeachment process is unconstitutional, the refusal to transmit the articles to the Senate and blackmail the Senate is unconstitutional & Mitch McConnell should immediately declare it null & void in defense of the Senate and the Constitution.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 7, 2020

3. I don’t believe the country benefits by voluntarily contributing to this extremely damaging unconstitutional spectacle.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 7, 2020
