There's nothing like a Christmas miracle.

Saudi Arabia, UAE send troops to support Kurds in Syria

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have sent military forces to areas controlled by the Kurdish YPG group in north-east Syria, Turkey’s Yenisafak newspaper reported.

The paper said the forces will be stationed with US-led coalition troops and will support its tasks with huge military enforcements as well as heavy and light weapons.


How about that? Did any of the experts predict this would happen? Or was it all doom and gloom?

Those troops are useless. They have no experience at fighting and will be of little value, furthermore, I'm not sure the Kurds want radical Muslims as allies. Trump has sold out the only people who genuinely like Americans in the Middle East.

We’ve been there for 17 years, we had enough skin in the game.

Call it quiting, surrendering, retreating, or whatever it’s time we move on.

So, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have invaded Syria.

Sanctions on them coming soon? Global community outrage for this invasion? Of course not, lol.

I wonder how this will conflict with the Turks; attack Turkey and it is an attack on NATO?

Ironically, Saudi Arabia are the suppliers of terror groups including ISIS.
