Writer forgot IS couldn't step in Shi'ite majority territory due to heavy resistance, Amirli for example. The town was besieged with no military or PMF inside, solely locals defended it preventing IS...
If Iraqi forces attack IS they are evil Shi'ites massacring the poor Sunnis.
If Iraqi forces do nothing they are evil Shi'ites watching by not helping poor Sunnis from IS.
It can't be done right in the eyes of the general Muslim who is taught to hate. If you look at Yemen some dozen countries...
Distorted facts, if you followed the IS uprising and the war on IS you would spot them easily but you didn't follow it closely like 90% of those that comment on the IS subject therefor it's easy for anyone to write such articles and become an 'analyst' at Chatham house/Twitter etc.
Looks like you didn't read my posts. Let me guess you read 1 post and saw a part that criticized an action of Turkey which irked you and this is ur reaction.
I agree on that but it's not just the ordinary people and what some would call their backward behavior, it's the rulers of all those ME states that work day and night to burn each other. In Europe state leaders aren't trying to burn each other, if they did they'd still have wars.
How long would...
Turkey allowed US paratroopers to take off from Incirlik for airdrop in the 2003 invasion, they refused troops crossing the border from the ground though as you said. Largest part of their force came through Kuwait, some SF from Jordan. Though this is just one example. It goes to show how the US...
US never was good for any country in the region, they always interfered. Initiated/supported a coup in Iran and Iraq, invaded/bombed other countries, imposed heavy sanctions, sent arms to terrorists to overthrow regimes etc. All this done with the help of neighboring countries.
Iraq's invasion...
Don't you think there would've been far less refugees in Erdo didn't pour in so many arms and terrorists into Syria, you'd have less refugees. But he didn't and this is the result, if you complain point you fingers the right direction.
We don't get much military aid, just small arms and ammunition. AT-4 and a few MRAPS was about the 'best' aid given. The 140 Abrams tanks were bought, the F-16's bought, C-130-J30's bought etc. t's Israel that is receiving the big aid.. Egypt as well (F-16's mostly), Jordan and Pakistan but...
I don't get the point of you celebrating that ^^ it makes no difference, the opposition loses a lot of people as well. The casualties are nowhere near those of the Iran-Iraq war, it doesn't affect much

The Arab opposition group the west now supports, this group is worse than the Kurdish groups which only manage to take cities when the US levels it, unlikely to succeed.

Block 52 with sniper pod, some with CFT.
Lacks : AIM-120, AIM-9x, JDAM. Instead they come with AIM-7, Paveway laser guidance kits and AIM-9L/M. A good aircraft.. with old weaponry. All F-16 operators in the region have better weaponry for these jets, even Egypt which has no AMRAAM was sold...
