phart Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 A couple of hundred special forces and drone programme personnel have fled Yemen as it goes tits up there too. The Houthi's have taken 9 of the 21 provinces and the President has had to move the Capital to Aden, Special forces fleeing Aden?? Deja Vu indeed. Seems a significant increase in activity last couple of days, someone has given the faction as supply drop I think. Not looking good loads of dead people.

Also considering Bibi's own "vow" just before the election, no 2 state-solution etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) That's Aden fell and King fled to Saudi Arabia, Houthi rebels and their allies in Yemen have stormed the presidential palace in Aden following heavy clashes, officials say. The rebels pushed through to the heart of the port city using tanks and armoured vehicles, despite air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition. At least 44 people have been killed in the violence, including 18 civilians, according to AFP. Separately, a Saudi border guard has reportedly been killed by gunfire. It is the first known Saudi fatality since it began an air campaign against the Houthis last week. The Saudi government says the aim of its operation in Yemen is to protect President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi's "legitimate government". It says it has no plans to deploy ground forces for now. Aden was President Hadi's last seat of power before he fled to Saudi Arabia last week, as the Shia rebels advanced on the city. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-32157994 Edited April 3, 2015 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Turkey's invaded Syria... "Turkey has launched a major military intervention in Syria, sending tanks and warplanes across the border in a coordinated campaign with Syrian opposition fighters, who seized an Islamic State-held village in the area in the first hours of fighting. The operation, called Euphrates Shield, has a dual purpose: to dislodge Isis from Jarablus, its last major redoubt on the 500-mile border, and to contain the expansion of Kurdish militias in northern Syria." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/24/turkey-launches-major-operation-against-isis-in-key-border-town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) So a race between Turkey and the Kurds to claim Jarabulus is on. Under the cover of fighting Daesh.

phart Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 this happened less than a week ago. Turks also shelling positions as well which were probably to soften up before the land invasion of Syria. Kurds accuse Turkish intelligence of assassinating military leader in Syria’s Jarabulus The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Tuesday reported that Abdulsettar Al-Cadiri, commander of the newly established Jarabulus military council, was assassinated by unknown attackers. Syrian Kurds accused the Turkish intelligence service of carrying out the attack. Turkey has so far not responded to the allegations. Turkey for over a year has said that Jarabulus is a red line, and the Kurds are not allowed to take the town of Jarabulus–which has been under the control of the Islamic State (ISIS) for over two years. However, since crossing Tisreen dam and taking Manbij city from ISIS two weeks ago, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have got closer to the town of Jarabulus on the Syrian-Turkish border. The SDF-backed Jarabulus Military Council was announced in a statement on Monday. After three hours, al-Cadiri was killed by sniper fire in the town of Sheykler. The Kurds say two agents of the Turkish intelligence were captured by the Jarabulus Military Council and are being interrogated. “We in the military council of Jarabulus warn the Turkish government for its aggressive actions. We stress we will not stand idle towards such hostile acts,” the council previously said about Turkish plans to back Syrian rebels to take over Jarabulus. http://aranews.net/2016/08/kurds-accuse-turkish-intelligence-assassinating-military-leader-syrias-jarabulus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the dark ages it was Islamic philosophers and scientist who were making the big discovery's of the time. It's not religion as such that's the problem but man greed that twists religion to give them power. Go back a few hundred years it was the pipes who were corrupting there religion, now it's al-queda and Isis that are twisting religion. The media also has to take some blame as well they twist the meaning of Allah to make it a bad thing yet Allah just means god.

You could well be right Even if it did there would still be those that believed However its only 157 years since the Origin of the Species was published and look what we have achieved since then Not only do we know the actual moment the big bang took place but we can recreate it to an actual bawhair before it happened for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 There is no way to falsify the concept of God, therefore science has nothing to say about it. Some of the claims made in various creation "myths" directly contradict known science, so they clash there. On the actual subject of a creator and monitor of the universe there is nothing to say. We don't know the actual moment of the big bang and we can't recreate it. We can recreate an equal energy density some time after expansion. The actual expansion and time zero is still a mystery. Religion is a symptom of certainty. The shroud that lies over the invisible. Anyway new World of Warcraft is out , so stop posting religious shit in my geo-political thread please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
