I know that happened because the old basketball coach at UNLV Jerry Tarkanian was Armenian and he had relatives murdered during the genocide including his great grandfather. There are also a few Armenians in Las Vegas who don't deny that it happened. Turkey IMO is walking a dangerous line and their day of playing both sides if going to come crashing in on them very soon. They are either going to have to start eradicating the cancer that resides within their borders or they will fall to Islamic Extremism. There are only 2 ways this ends and it's their choice. Just read that Egypt has now started bombing ISIS positions in Libya and that Italy is probably going to send 5000 troops to Libya if things continue to escalate there. I think the most interesting thing is that Egypt basically said fuck the US we're going after these bastards on our own. http://abcnews.go.com/International/egyptian-airstrikes-libya-coordinated-us/story?id=29000198
Good - let them police their own backyards. If they really need help to defeat isis maybe we get involved then, but they should be able to handle these losers.
No Navy, no fighter jets; still just a rabble movement led by the media and Russian made weapons; and stolen USA made weapons. Weapons suppliers and namely Russia are the major problems/concerns moving forward.
We keep launching airstrikes to help out but I agree...It's time for the Middle East to fix their own shit.
I think what they are doing is uniting nations that might not otherwise have been working together. I saw that Italy is thinking of sending troops to Libya. They would then be working with the Egyptians. Not exactly who you would think of as allies. There are many Libyans in Italy and they deal with a lot of refugees from North Africa so it is in their best interest to try their best to eliminate this problem. I hope Egypt continues to bomb these bastards because it appears that Libya and next Yemen are turning into fucking Somalia. This cancer is spreading and unless more nations especially Arab nations become involved this has no chance of being stopped. Right now the US being so far aware while vulnerable is in a much better position than say Germany or Holland because as we've seen in France and now Denmark people in Europe are targets and they will have to deal with these types of attacks.
What no one is saying is that there probably are American ground forces already in play. Someone has to be spotting for coalition aircraft and you have to think its Special Forces acting as Forward Observers (FO's). All they have to do is ID a target, paint it with a laser and move on to the next target. Guided munitions do the rest of the job.
Kurds are spotting for US led coalition air strikes. There are US military on the ground in Baghdad and in Al Asad and most likely some special forces on the ground. Drones most likely also offer intel.
Europe is far more vulnerable with only the Mediterranean separating Europe from Africa. Also, Europe has allowed cells to grow faster and it seems the distribution of illegal weapons runs far more rampant. Weapons suppliers facilitate the means for ISIS offensive. Well known outside parties are supporting the cause. The media has been a tremendous avenue for free advertising. There are a lot more evil and hateful proponents to the western world than anyone may have expected. USA should either fully dispel of Isis or finally and fully adopt a form of isolationism as we need little help from outside our borders to remain dominant; and nations would still come crawling to trade with us. Leaders in technology, agriculture, medicine, entertainment, civil liberty; surplus of energy, a dozen aircraft carriers, stealth technology, us navy seals, delta commandos ... We need nothing from the Middle East. Support Israel, support Europe and for all other intensive purposes move on from North Africa and the Middle East; let them come crawling to trade with us and let's watch "fair trade" between Russia, China and Middle East; should be very "fair" indeed. If they want to trade utilize a third party host nation. Open doors to S. America trading and cut off the rest of the world until they learn to play nice. Do what we can to help as Russia pushes further west into Europe and crazy Arabs threaten end of days to Israel. Offer special operations to some African Nations. Continue trade with Australia and some Far East nations while maintaining naval dominance in the Pacific. Stop the sale of weapons to Arab nations and anyone who threatens USA and its embassies. Our enemies cannot cause destruction where they do not have the means to destroy.
Apparently now members of IS are tweeting that they are coming to Italy and they are set to conquer. In a rather unintentionally funny tweet they stated they are going to throw gays off the "Leaning Tower of Pizza" Italy has already dispersed troops around important locations and even the Swiss Guard in the Vatican are on alert. These fuckers are coming and I hope my Italian brothers are ready for them.
Without a Navy or substantial support from a well known party ISIS has zero shot of invading Italy. They couldn't take Baghdad or kobani. Russia poses a greater threat to Italy
The Italians are taking it serious and I don't think an all out invasion is in the cards I do think the same type of shit we've seen in France and recently Denmark is on the way.
