lean (09/09/2015) [-] Yeah, the US is engaged in operations against ISIS in Iraq/ Syria, but we are also against the Syrian regime so no collaboration going on there. Now we are getting assmad at the russians who have sent forces to syria, also to fight ISIS but we worry that they might be helping the syrian fight against ISIS not the US fight against ISIS.
Dunno why we can't call a temporary truce with everyone to just get rid of ISIS, then continue with our petty grievances with the other countries. Probably makes too much sense for a politician to consider.
Instead of donating experience and funding to assist against ISIS we should give the peshmerga inventory and money, they have been fighting the good fight this whole time

lean (09/10/2015) [-] Russia is definitely NOT funding ISIS. In fact Russia is leading the way in measures to inhibit the funding of ISIS

Isis funding comes primarily through state sponsors, although none have openly claimed it (fingers have been pointed at Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and Turkey, all of which are US "allies") Between that and many western powers paying ransoms, they are fairly well funded. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the west has not leveled sanctions against these accused state sponsors because they want the public opinion to grow against the barbarism of this terror group and call for military intervention (again).

goobyman (09/10/2015) [-] neat some source
see this is what i get for being r00d, some actual sources
As far as I see it though, it still is an indirect conflict between russia and the US. not necessarily funding ISIS or the Kurds, but still funding some sort of opposition group.
I'd need some source and confirmation on that though, to be sure.

lean (09/10/2015) [-] Russia is helping Syria fight ISIS. US has been attempting to overthrow the Syrian regime (cuz it works so great when we do that). US is fighting ISIS in Syria with "tacticool air strikes" ($80,000 per shot target practice at goats). 3 teams, same goal, don't get along so enter pissing match. Basically cold war era passive aggression.

It is really frustrating as an American that our politicians believe that they have the right to depose other countries' politicians under the guise of humanitarian reasons when it is typically maneuvering to gain the upper hand economically against our competition (china/russia)

The cold war ended, literally the moment children were born after the Soviet Union. When Swan Lake played on all televisions and radios in Russia, **** hit the fan and the soviet union ended literally overnight.
The politicians in office today are still really ******* butthurt about being taught to hide under their desks.
