Iraq falling appart

[Leesin]

why are they randomly drive by shooting people?

I guess this is the video I saw a couple weeks back, I think the people they are shooting aren't just random, they are people like soldiers ( maybe even ex soldiers ) or perhaps just general rivals of their in any form, political, military, civilian etc, but I'm pretty sure they're not random.

 I think it's late in the video they shoot this car off the road, one of the guys tries to run, they find him wounded and before they shoot him, a picture of him in a soldiers uniform comes up and then they execute him. This is basically a propaganda video to scare their enemies by showing none of them are safe.

It's not random, after they chased him down and executed him, they showed a picture.

He was in uniform.

And yes I am aware that this is some weeks old. 2-3 perhaps? Anyway I just found it recently, thought I'll share.

Well, what about Turkey? (Might have over read their mentioning)

On a short news here, they stated that Erdogan is already hitting the propaganda button. Things like "We won't let them endanger Turkish sovereignty! If they think they can do this to Turkey then they... blablabla"
Is a cooperation between USA and Turkey thinkable? US drones hitting targets while Turkish troops hit the ground? It would fit to Erdogan in way. Not to mention the affair when his government was/is suspected to be involved in specific provocation actions...

Not much information all around it seems.

Thing is, they were watchdogs bred by Turkey indeed. Only after the al-qeda association surfaced did Turkey seemingly declare them enemy. The actual struggle is about turning the oil reserves in north Iraq to cash. There were attempts of an agreement between the semi-autonomous government of the north and Turkey, but it wasn't pleasing news for the US or the central Iraqi government in the south. At the moment, I would bet neither the US nor Turkey knows what to do about these jihadists. Let them wreak havoc for a while and actually create an artificial islamic state or stop them before things get worse? Shit is changing so fast that I can't even project whose motivations are what anymore.

They are off the leash of Turkey though. The Turkish consulate in Mosul was also raided and personnel held captive (I am not well-informed about what happened thereafter). There is a dangerous shift of balance going on and it's more threatening than ever. But this I can tell: I am sick of the fact that those terrorists were trained and fed by the Turkish government. I am sick of the jihadist bullshit this country has had to take for the last decade. That was one problem we never had to seriously worry about, and it is now a reality.

This is just good for the U.S. Iran has its hands full with Iraq now, and vice versa.

I think he was trying to say to nuke every place on earth that has muslims.

Baraka Obama Senior, father of reigning US president was born and raised in muslim family. He converted to  Anglicanism and changed his name to Barack. His father was raised as roman catholic but converted to Islam and took the name Hussein. Think it's time for grandson to follow footsteps of his grampa.

Shiite vs Sunni religious wars give no piety penalty in Europa Universalis 4.

War justified

Nothing new here, the allahu snackbar fanatics, will start accusing the west for their misery and wars, after they have killed each other first, and then they will stat mass migrating towards Europe, and Europe will accept them.

Hence why I'm inclined to believe the US will probably not go all hurrdurr over this. I assume they will wait if they think they get a reasonable chance at catching Iran.

US is already coordinating possible air support for iranian troops in Iraq, plus the iraqi security forces obviously (i.e shiite Iraq). Unlikely bedfellows, but there you have it. Saudi and Qatari incompetent, useless, disgustingly rich, playboy, kidfucking bundle of stickss obviously can't control the retarded extremist fanatics they've funded and unleashed, and I doubt the US is further going to humour their moronic grand strategy for a completely sunni middle east, not if it risks their own "project" in Iraq.

That's what I had in mind. There's not much risk playing flyboy above rebels.

Its just the beginning. This is how it starts:
