By MICHAEL R. GORDONSEPT. 27, 2015

UNITED NATIONS — For the second time this month, Russia moved to expand its political and military influence in the Syria conflict and left the United States scrambling, this time by reaching an understanding, announced on Sunday, with Iraq, Syria and Iran to share intelligence about the Islamic State.

Like Russia’s earlier move to bolster the government of President Bashar al-Assad by deploying warplanes and tanks to a base near Latakia, Syria, the intelligence-sharing arrangement was sealed without notice to the United States. American officials knew that a group of Russian military officers were in Baghdad, but they were clearly surprised when the Iraqi military’s Joint Operations Command announced the intelligence sharing accord on Sunday.

Sure Putin wants to “change the world”. He wants to not only retake Eastern Europe, he wants to control the Middle East. And you and your Putinisata buddies will be there every step of the way cheering their troops on, blowing kisses and waving large red flags.

Maybe Putin can address some of these topics.

....”News today is that the US has lost Iraq to the Russians and Iranians who are combining with Syria’s Assad govt army to fight ISIS. US is out of the loop. Russian special forces agents already swarming all over Baghdad”......

Like it or not Obama meeting with Putin today shows Putin has already achieved one major victory, He has emerged from the shadows of political isolation as a major deal maker upon whom the eyes of the world are focused regarding Syria.....and he’s not asking permission to do what he thinks is the right thing to do regarding ISIS.

Putin’s been giving speeches and interviews over the past weeks which clearly show he’s determined to end the issues regarding Syria and ISIS.

[thouworm]

Putin just began his UN speech

[tcrlaf]

He just all-but called Obama out by name on Libya...

[Vic S]

I heard McCain on Trump’s idea that what do we should welcome Russia’s help in defeating ISIS. He said sure, Russia is horrible, they tyrants, and more stuff, but never answered if we should welcome their help or not.

ISIS is obviously a western creation to overthrow Syria, and Putin should show proof.

[Stand W]

Hey, maybe Russia’s reemergence into the ME is the blood moon event.

Gog and Magog2, baby!! Together again, now with 20% more jack boots!!

[caww]

Interesting is Ukraine is now dealing oil contracts with Russia.

[StormEye]

American foreign policy is being spit on, repudiated and indeed, overthrown, in the Middle East, Africa and other places around the world. Obama and his Democrats and the homosexual cabal that is in charge of the government has made the promotion and export of homosexuality to other nations the key issue of US foreign policy -- and the world is sick and tired of it!

Nations with any semblance of morality and sanity resent this filthy policy and are rejecting it wholesale. They are turning to Russia for support and telling America to its fag policies to itself. Putin is merely exploiting this stupid immoral foreign policy of Obama and his Democrat Party. Putin knows who is now charge of the American government and will take advantage of America's stupid foreign policy at every opportunity. Many nations in the world will now be looking to Putin to counter America's crazy sodomy promoting foreign policies.

Yawn. SOS from the tin pot Czar. Russia good, US “dominator” bad.

Funny, every time I think of Putin in the Middle East, I think back to a favorite song when I was younger, by the group Love Song, on their Final Touch album - called “Cossack”. Great guitar, great song. Describes Ezekiel 37/38.

Fear of a Shia full moon

BYLINE: Events are proving that the king of Jordan was right to warn of a ‘Shia crescent’ across the Middle East - even though the phrase was a tad undiplomatic, writes Ian Black

Ian Black | Friday 26 January 2007

Late in 2004, King Abdullah of Jordan coined a controversial phrase that still resonates powerfully in the Middle East: there was, he argued, a “Shia crescent” that went from Damascus to Tehran, passing through Baghdad, where a Shia-dominated government had taken power and was dictating a sectarian brand of politics that was radiating outwards from Iraq across the whole region.

The king’s words were certainly prescient: the divide between Sunni and Shia Muslims looks like being one of the big themes of 2007 as both come to terms with the apparently unstoppable chaos in Iraq, the rise of Iran as a regional power, and the fear of new and catastrophic consequences if the US and/or Israel enter into armed confrontation with the Islamic republic.

Now some scholars are even talking of a new “30 years’ war” between the two branches of Islam - something akin to the struggle between Protestants and Catholics in 16th-century Europe.

Some of this deepening anxiety has been evident in comments by the Jordanian monarch in recent days. A journalist from the London-based Sharq al-Awsat newspaper reminded him that officials in Iran were “looking forward to a full Shia moon, not just a Shia crescent.” The king responded by stressing that he had never used the word Shia in a sectarian sense - “let’s not delve into these labels,” he insisted - but rather was referring to “political alignments”.

His “Shia crescent” tag went down badly because it was simply too frank; it was simplistic, too, smoothing over local factors of ethnicity and nationalism to provide a single, overarching explanation. In a region where political discourse is often coded, it was highly unusual to hear such blunt language.
