turkish calipHell comes.. atrocites and childabduction follows..

Al Balog

I really wish Haftar was a more serious leader like Assad. He needs to stop clowning-around.

ColinNZ

He is CIA trained, so expect a circus.

Furkan Sahin

i hate Haftar and Gna

abuqahwa

So you hate LNA and GNA both ?

Furkan Sahin

yes i love Gaddafi

Hassan Ghonem

Both are scum but Haftar is a better option

The Objective

Why is Haftar a better option?

Furkan Sahin

Haftar is no serious only Assad Malema Gaddafi Abdul Malik Houthi

abuqahwa

This is more than mere tactical or operational setback, this is a strategic disaster. Now Sarraj Effendi the Bey of Tripoli, backed by a modern, professional Turkish Task Force, has reversed the earlier LNA advance and now controls all of the NW coastline from the Tunisian border (Ras Jdir) thru Tripoli, Misrata to Abu Qrayn. LNA are being driven back from Wadi Zemzem and Sirt is being pounded by air and artillery. Since December the so-called final battle for Tripoli has fizzled out into a series of small-unit clashes and artillery/rocket exchanges and LNA has slowly lost ground and positions to rag-tag groups of mercenaries, deployed as cannon fodder by a well-integrated Turkish-staffed Operations Room. We could see this coming for months as the Bey bought allies and Turkey mounted a massive build-up, completely un-impeded, into Misrata, Zawiyah, Zuara, Tripoli air and sea ports. How many times did we hear the bombastic/false claims that LNA Air strikes had closed Ma’itiqah Airport ? This war could have been won six months ago, instead by wasting time constructing shakey “alliances “( where are you now Egypt ??) of dubious value, by mounting a combined arms battlegroup assault on Tripoli when the opportunity was there. Now it is too late. Next stalemate, then partition anyone ?

Al Balog

Exactly, Haftar played his cards wrong. To be fair, though, he did have the potential to be a good leader. However, his bombastic personality, terrible mis-steps, strategic failures, and false promises have costed him dearly here. At this point in time, I can’t take Haftar seriously anymore. Not only that, but his failure to form a true alliance with Russia, Syria, and Greece. Haftar should have studied harder on Assad’s success and try to emulate them, but I have a feeling that Haftar took more examples from “sensationalists” like Trump. Recently, I’ve been watching many of Haftar’s speeches and interviews. Also taking into account his old age, Haftar on the personality level reminds me more of Trump than Assad.

abuqahwa

Agree 100 %.

CCSETBLOCK

Assad? the same Assad that was like a month from defeat LOL no it was all PUTIN and ISIS that saved his ass.

khalkha

Also shiit militias sent by iran

Hassan Ghonem

Egypt would likely not back Haftar operations in the west but will defend him if he was attacked in the east. The country that could be decisive in the west is Algeria. Haftar for Egypt is not an ally neither a puppet or Egypt aligned, he is just a better option than TR puppets but not their man so their appetite to help is not big. Partition is the only solution in Libya & Yemen

The Objective

There will be no partitioning of Libya or Yemen, God willing. Erdogan is the kind of leader Muslims need all around the world.

It is time for a Turkey-Iran-Pakistan alliance. This will scare the pants off the likes of Donald Trump and Netanyahu.

If the GNA regains control over Libya, there is big trouble for Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, and Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood are trying to overthrow these Western puppets in Sunni countries. Iran tried to do that, but did not succeed in overthrowing these Sunni governments because Iran is Shiite. The Sunni corrupt governments had only to play the sectarian card to turn people away from Iran.

But the Muslim Brotherhood is quite different. It is a greater threat to these corrupt Sunni regimes that a Shiite Iran. The sectarian card will not work against the Muslim brotherhood. A majority of Sunnis will agree with them should they be given room to operate. Plus, they are also mainly Arabs, which means, the Saudis and their vassals cannot play the Tribal card either.

This is why they are scared shitless of the GNA. Because the GNA is a Muslim Brotherhood government like the one in Qatar and Turkey and Egypt, before the El-Sisi coup.

The Objective

Great news. Haftar is a savage thug and a U.S puppet. Some claim he wants to unify Libya, but I see from his moves that he will sell Libya to the West. America’s support for him is not very apparent, but one needs only to observe the lack of condemnation of Haftar by the U.S or Western countries. Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E. and other corrupt Arab regimes also support Haftar. I know a lot of you on this Forum hate the GNA because it is being supported by Turkey. While I don’t support a Turkish invasion of Syria, I also acknowledge that Turkey’s backing for the GNA is the right thing. It is preventing another government not friendly to the West from collapsing. Qatar and Italy too support the GNA. Turkey’s move in Syria is to pressure Russia into abandoning Haftar and also to convince the Assad government that a political solution in Syria is the best. A couple of years ago, the United Nations outlined the plans for a political solution to the Syrian crisis when the U.S realized Assad could not be ousted by force of arms. The U.N is largely controlled by the U.S, but in this case, the decision by the U.N was the right one. Because the U.S knew that Assad will be voted out in a free-and-fair election, it supported the U.N proposition for a ceasefire, the return of refugees, and a nationwide election supervised by both Russia, China, the U.S, and other countries including Iran. But Assad refused, opting to unify Syria and continue his rule by force of Arms. THAT IS THE REASON TURKEY WILL NOT ABANDON THE SYRIAN SUNNI ARABS.

Porc Halal

Same old muslim brotherhood islamist propaganda for stupid people…

The Objective

I am not a Muslim Brotherhood supporter. I am only making objective observations. You are the one sounding like a murderous communist. Even Iran hates the LNA.

Porc Halal

If you are not MB supporter then you are an other extremist islamic group supporter that’s for sure…it doesn’t mean that you are ‘objective’…and dude, I am against all ideologies ending with ‘ism’ including communism, bolshevism, etc (islamism included no matter if its MB or other islamic terror group ideology)…

The Objective

By your definition, that includes “Liberalism”

Instead of just asserting that my views are not objective, why not point out where I went wrong, and provide your proofs.

Hos Ng

slaughter all oil thieving warmongers. be it pompino erdogan bolton cheney rices or wahabi scum. sunni and chia dislike is overstated as propaganda for thewest. there is no war or terrorists, only the 911 mafia that bombed syria last year revealed itself to all

Gary Sellars

“Because the U.S knew that Assad will be voted out in a free-and-fair election…”

BS. Stupid moron. Assad will win a fucking landslide nationally. Maybe not in the Wahabbi North, but who gives a flying fuck what those child-raping terrorist cunts want or think? Once Idlib is finally cleaned out those fuckers will be put to the sword.

The Objective

Participants differed on the fate of Assad. But even if he is allowed to run for the president in a democratic Syria, he still will be voted out. Please read U.N resolution on this issue which was supported by Russia, China, and the U.S.A. but never was implemented due to objections from both Assad and Iran, and I suspect at some point, Russia itself.

Whowhatwhere

He did not accept the un resolution because there would of been more Turkish backed representatives in the committes and jihadis and opposition whereas the one he did accept is the one where the syrian gov chooses people for the committes

The Objective

Here is an excerpt in case you don’t feel like reading the entire resolution.

““The Syrian people will decide the future of Syria,” the text stated. By other terms, the Council requested that the Secretary-General — through his good offices and the efforts of his Special Envoy — convene representatives of the Syrian Government and opposition to engage in formal negotiations on a political transition process “on an urgent basis”, with a target of early January for the initiation of talks. It expressed support for a Syrian-led political process facilitated by the United Nations which would establish “credible, inclusive and non-sectarian governance” within six months and set a schedule and process for the drafting of a new constitution”

The important point to note is that at that time, this resolution was supported by both Russia and China.

The Objective

You sound exactly like the Jewish murderers you claim to oppose by supporting Syria, Oh, rather supporting Assad.

If Assad will win a landslide victory, then why does he and Iran oppose this U.N resolution that was unanimously adopted with the blessings of China and Russia?

Here is a link to the resolution
