Turkish jets bombard Iranian militia entering Afrin
“Iranian”? Does that mean “Kurdish”?
Are we on the side of the Kurds and against the Turks,
or with the “democratic” Arabs and the Kurds, and against
Assad?
Or have all parties united to oppose the Turks (hence, we are temporarily on the same side as the Russians)?
Hello?
Do Tillerson and Co. know what they are doing?
Stirring up the pot, getting everyone pissed off and fighting each other.
Think that’s been the plan for a while. Just a lot of dead people. Eventually, they’ll run out of crazy?
Zechariah 14
13 It shall come to pass in that day That a great panic from the LORD will be among them. Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor, And raise †his hand against his neighbor’s hand;

This is right after the “nuclear bomb” verse:
12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

Syrian conflict historical background
I have been unable to follow this conflict intelligently
This helped although in needs a 2nd revision to bring up to today.

Then I saw something over the weekend that I realized I had not even been considering for nearly my entire life, running through Vietnam, the Cold War, and up to today. The saying I saw was:
"You don't have to attend every argument you are invited to."
I know is is something of a knee-jerk reaction. I have always just had to chose a side. I now see this propensity as a personal flaw, particularly with international relations, hot spots, etc. I have always felt that at any given time in any given place, I had to have a side chosen in the event we jump into it. I felt like I had to be prepared.
My first inkling that I had a vacuum in this area should have occurred to me (and to a degree it did) during the Iran-Iraq war. It is one of the reasons I supported the Reagan administration in supplying arms and support to the Iraqis to foster this internecine conflict that was going to sap both sides.
Basically, siding with both or siding with neither can produce the same effect, and I never saw that as an outright option. Never considered it.
But given what we see going on now, I realize that is the best option...don't even pick a side. Either let them slug it out on their own, or provide arms and encouragement to both sides in order to weaken them. They don't like us. They all want our destruction. It just made sense to me.
I am glad it wasn’t just me who was unable to follow it intelligently.
POS Muslims killing other POS Muslims.
The Afrin Kurdratic Equation:
Where
x = the Kurds
a = USA
b =Russia
c = Syria
Haaretz, Israeli media says Israel has given weapons to 7 different rebel groups in Syria, this hit the news today as well and I’m not sure what to make of it. Almost to be expected. https://www.haaretz.com/misc/article-print-page/with-eye-on-iran-israel-increases-military-support-for-syrian-rebels-1.5826348
It’s too messy over there. Where we can, I hope we can help the Kurds.
Iran is problematic; I’m the first to say I’m no expert but the size of the Shia population, they being surrounded by some nations that have been, at least, very hostile in the past, allows me some doubt as to how evil they are. They have a right to watch after themselves as well. Undoubtedly, groups like Hezbollah and other allies have done wrong.
LOL
where
B=3
A=1
C=2
X= -1.5 + j/2
and
X= -1.5 - j/2
This is why the conflict is so hard to solve.
I blew it.
x = -1
and
x = -2
The Planes Indians practiced polygamy, and one chief had three squaws.
The first squaw lived in a teepee of elk hide, the second in a teepee made of buffalo hide, and the youngest in a teepee of hippopotamus hide.
Then he slept with each wife on the eve of his great hunting trip.
He was gone nine moons and when he returned, he went into the elk hide teepee and found that his wife had borne him a son.
Likewise, in the buffalo hide teepee, that squaw, too, had borne him a son.
So, imagine his surprise when he found twin baby boys in the hippopotamus hide teepee.
This just proves that …
The squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws of the other two hides.
Lots of video evidence of Syrian flagged militia vehicles entering Afrin without resistance all over the internet.
If the Turks are bombing them, they’re doing a very poor job.
Long ago in a plains tribe, three young men came of age and were to be married. They were sent out into the world with a bow and arrow and a knife to kill an animal the fur of which was to be used to make their marriage bed
Brave Eagle returned with a wonderful cougar hide that was tanned into a beautiful fur
Charging Bull returned with the hide of a young bear that was tanned into a beautiful fur.
Falling Rocks was not very successful. He returned with the skins of two rabbits and a squirrel. These were not large enough to make a marriage bed. His wise grand mother suggested he take them to the trading post and get a striped blanket.
Alas, the trader would not part with a blanket for such a minor return but offered a dusty hippopotamus hide that though rough was in fact large enough.
A year passed
The squaw of Brave Eagle presented him with a son
The squaw of Charging Bull presented him a beautiful daughter
The squaw of Falling Rocks presented him with twins, a boy and a girl
Theorem:
The Squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the squaws of the other two hides
Who can keep track.
