Former Iraqi Hussein troops join Iraqi militants

48
Extremist forces in Iraq managed to capture more 4 cities in the western part of the country, after which the Syrian-Iraqi border was virtually eliminated. From a geographical point of view, there is a border between the states, but from the administrative-territorial one there is none, since there is no state administration controlling the border. TV company CNN reports that border Iraqi cities have come under the complete control of ISIS militants (the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).



After the capture of border settlements by ISIS militants, extremist groups in Iraq and Syria were able to work together. In which direction will the combined forces of extremists direct their activities (to Damascus or Baghdad)? - A question, the answer to which will appear in the near future.

Against this background, US Secretary of State John Kerry makes a visit to Baghdad. According to the agency «РИА Новости»Kerry is going to persuade the Iraqi leadership to begin forming a new government, and he is also ready to discuss the topic of helping the Iraqi authorities to counter extremists.

The situation in Iraq is becoming more complex every day. The government army can no longer provide adequate resistance to the militants. It should be noted that in this situation the former soldiers of Saddam Hussein’s army sided with the radical Islamists. Edition Al-mesyroon left with news that servicemen who joined the ISIL groups captured and executed Rauf Abdul Rahman, a judge who at one time passed the death sentence on Saddam Hussein.

      This is exactly what they want all over the world — chaos and instability. If this happened at their borders, somewhere in Mexico or Nicaragua, then I would share your optimism. Yesterday there was this topic with Solovyov ... Everything is very confused there, Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Hussein officers, Iran, Saudis, Syria, Jordan ... Who plays? Whose accordion? request

        Nothing is confused. Iraq promised to increase oil sales by 2015 times by 3. they are a direct competitor to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait. Thus, oil prices, and then gas prices could fall by 5-10 dollars. As a result, social programs could be cut in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and after that, the uprising of most Shiites living in these countries.
        Also, low prices would completely ruin the production of shale gas in the United States and put an end to its supply program to Europe, which, under pressure from the United States, should abandon gas from Russia.
        By the way, by the order of the USA, the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia stalled. Therefore, the gas pipeline in Poltava was blown up to show Europe that Ukraine is not a reliable partner and to suspend gas prices, so they have already risen by $ 5.

            Well, they did not succeed in fraternization as such. On the contrary, the Hamanites said that Iran sharply againstWashington's interference in Iraq's internal affairs
            "The main dispute in Iraq is between those who want Iraq to join the US camp and those who seek Iraqi independence. The United States wants to bring its supporters to power because Washington is not happy with the current government in Iraq.
            - here is the words of the spiritual leader of Iran.
            And between the case, Russia and Iran agreed to sign at the end of the year contract for the construction of two new reactors at the Bushehr nuclear power plant
            Now the Deputy General Director of Rosatom Nikolai Spassky is on an official visit in Tehran. He planned to enter into negotiations with the President of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, as well as with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country Abbas Arakchi.
            The Russian Federation and Iran will sign a contract for the expansion of the Bushehr NPP before the end of the year
            Earlier unnoticed was the news that Russia will participate in the construction two nuclear power plants New nuclear power plants will be erected in Bushehr province. The power of each will be a thousand megawatts.
            Russia will help Iran in the construction of two nuclear power plants
            These stations will be built according to the technology that they plan to build in Kazakhstan in the city of Kurchatov, which according to experts must be the safest in the world

          I would like to note that the only religion in Saudi Arabia is Sunni Islam, Shiites constitute an insignificant minority, have no influence in the country and there is no need to talk about their rebellion ... Here are the Saudis and support, for example, Sunni co-religionists opposing Assad ( Alawite) in Syria and Shiite Iran ... By the way, Shiites, in addition to the shrines of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia common with the Sunnis, have their own Najaf and Karbala ... The split between these two branches of Islam is very serious and is gaining more and more the nature of a religious war, somewhat reminiscent of religious wars in medieval Europe, but this similarity is only partial ...

      Where did you see the good news? Here it smells like a worldwide jihad and Russia is by no means listed as a friend of jihadists> And it is closer to these troubled regions than America. And the fact that not everything in Iraq went according to the plan of the United States, so who saw these plans and knows. Their plans are based on the theory of controlled chaos. He has already created chaos in many countries, and the fact that he is not always manageable is the cost of the same theory. After all, chaos is a stochastic phenomenon, i.e. probabilistic and its management is possible only with a certain degree of probability. Those. somewhere it turns out as intended, somewhere not, but in general chaos (like insanity) grows stronger. So there is nothing to rejoice yet

        "Controlled chaos" is an internally contradictory and impossible thing. A mess, that's why it's a mess; that it CANNOT be controlled. But you can come up with a story about "Controlled chaos" ("Objective reality", "Artificial intelligence", etc.) And, here, with the help of MYFA (words) through the media, it is even possible to control. The only question is whether you create myths or consume. Analyzing and discussing a myth, fighting for it or against it, is also essentially consumption.

        Their senselessness lies precisely in the fact that they set the wrong goals, but having set, they go to them in the wrong way. Is it possible to consider sensible goals declared by the Minkers to establish democracy in such traditionally dictatorial countries as Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. And before that, they tried to introduce democracy in Iran, overthrew the Shah and got instead of a secular regime such as America dreams in nightmares. And if only America

Moreover, it is possible that the same jizadists will help them get rid of this pain through the process of aggravation of bad Bosko.

    And now, finally, clearly, what the heck Israel attacked Syria to help militants destroy the border between Iraq and Syria, they probably hope that by creating another Muslim state that sits on hydrocarbons and sells them, they will make merchants out of militants, premium with the Muslims and they won’t be anymore to terrorize Israel, which it sees no other way out. Speaking more simply, they decided to pay off, and the UAE will be more accommodating. They don’t understand that when the children are full, they will want more.
