Birth Pangs

This isn't a double standard. Canada adheres to THE standard!Canada accused of double standard by restricting arms to Turks but not Saudis

I came across the report that will be the last link in this post It's a very telling report from Carnegie Middle East Yup, back where it all started. So many have forgotten this fact. It wasn't forgotten here.  The destabilization did not begin with Turkey. It began with Israel and Jordan in that part of Syria that is surrounded by both those nations. Surrounded and infiltrated.And if you pay attention you will see that the Muslim Brotherhood from Jordan played a major role.

1- Russian, US diplomats discuss political settlement in Syria

I'm confident this is a regular occurrence. After all this is how ISIS came to Syria via Iraq? By land at that time, but, it's the same route. We should recall many other airlifts of ISIS out of Syria, by the US? If not they are documented here.

Scott at Nomadiceveryman did an excellent update on the Syrian situation:I've done some updates as well, if you missed them they are relinked below:

US Deploys Patriot System to Iraq

Recall the many, many times my readers were informed that Iraq was not part of the "resistance"? Whatever the hell that actually meant?'Cause it was meaningless to me. Empty rhetoric.    Canthama aka Disinfothama was a big pusher of this nonsense.  As were others at Saker's. Hope Saker didn't push that absurdity? Can't be sure but that meme definitely appeared in the comments section there.

Why yes, indeed, it does. As has been stated repeatedly here.Of course her statements will be highlighted. TASS
