Oh yes, in comes Iran!

And what of the 13 million Sunnis now, Allah only knows.

This is going to get very rough and very bloody for Iran, Syria and Russia. Lucky the coalition didn't send Ground Troops. now the entire Arab World is going to be against them and the Gulf States are going to be the other factor and they are going to be sending Billions worth in arms - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Bahrain etc

Good morning Vietnam!

Several years ago some people who appeared to be in the know were saying that Assad released those Islamists from prison (and reputedly dangerous patients from mental hospitals) and then just sat back, laughing his head off, knowing that he only had to bide his time. I think perhaps he has decided now that the time has come. After all, with waves of Syrian refugees now arriving in Europe, this is bound to tip the scales in favour of those who say let's just restore peace and order in Syria, and if that means Assad, so be it. After all, the option of bringing in allies Russia and Iran always existed. Perhaps he was just waiting for the right moment to call them in. I think this is a bit like a game of poker and the US and the rest of the West will probably not call Russia and Iran's bluff and let them get on with it. The alternative course of action risks, as you say, igniting world war. It's not the end I would wish to see, but this is how I see things stacking up.

Some analysts are also saying that Obama made a huge mistake not launching Airstrikes against Assad in the wake of the Chemical attacks on his own citizens in Damascus. They are saying that the USA should have taken out his entire Air Force, and any base even suspected of having Chemical and Biological weapons. He was going to do this until Putin intervened and force Assad to allow UN inspectors and surrender his entire Chemical and a Biological Arsenal.

I tend to agree with these analysts too but just short of removing Assad perhaps until a plan is formulated for a seamless transition rather than create a devastating vacuum.

Of course you do Paphiti... aussies are Obama's bitches!

And you're a complete idiot with your hand on it dreaming of Byzantium. How many millions will you need to kill to achieve that little "Christian" pipe dream on par to the Caliphate?

Obama any day and twice on Sunday and I never go to church unless I have a funeral to attend.

And you would run towards Obama too because you really are a pussy and know full well that life under Putin would be ghastly! Bitch!

Even Syrian Christians are criticising this kind of lunatic hype, and they are among the people actually suffering there.

When the Turks and the Bulgars were invading Byzantine lands the Greek Orthodox church was wasting resources and fighting and having civilian fanatics cause riots and kill each other on whether angels are male or female. Now, we all cling to whatever bullshit that stupid conglomerate of fat bearded donkeys tells us and call it prophecies.

Idiotic rantings.

They were born religious !!! Brainwashed, mentally raped, 100 years ago none was alive, they were not born. Indoctrinated from their very first breath, suddenly they know that god exists, all mighty he is , created the universe, the moon, the stars the planets, what he failed to create is a fucking brain for these idiots!

What we are witnessing is a much needed historic change of the ME.

The Russian bases are here for keeps… make no mistake about it and there’s nothing the West can do about it as the US will NEVER confront Russia militarily unless their own territory was under threat.

No doubt behind the scenes a face saving US exit door is being constructed and agreed upon with Russia as we speak.

For Cyprus, this will in time prove to be the breakthrough we have been waiting for in our struggle for justice against Turkey.
