The Russians get it

There is considerable motion towards stopping IS. The fly in the ointment is the US and Russia are on opposite sides. Considering what the Henoch prophecies warn re Russia and the USA this division must end and the two powers must come together in unity to achieve the one goal of saving civilization.

Here is the situation regarding the international stance against IS. The following is edited from Money & Markets (a division of Weiss Research, Inc), 14 Nov. 2015.

More and more countries are joining the war. Not long ago, most regional and world powers were involved very tangentially, supplying little more than some money and assorted equipment. Now, they’re being dragged in far more directly:
• The United States has been leading a 62-nation coalition in nonstop bombing of the Islamic State. The coalition partners include …
• Britain, which deployed its first RAF airstrikes in September of 2014, using its Tornado GR4s to drop Paveway IV laser-guided bombs.
• Australia, which authorized missions by RAAF Boeing Super Hornet fighter bombers in October 2014.
• Canada, which began its first air strikes in November, when the Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18s began dropping GBU-12 bombs on Islamic State positions near the Euphrates River in Iraq.
• Jordan has deployed a series of its own F-16 Fighting Falcons.
• Plus Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, France, and Turkey plus Arab states like Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates which have also joined directly in the battle.
Total number of U.S. coalition air strikes in Iraq and Syria so far: 7,300.
United States authorities have also just announced a new U.S.-sponsored alliance between Arab and Kurdish forces [over 1000,000 Kurds waiting for non-forthcoming US supplies CL] to mount a ground offensive against the Islamic State in Syria, while a U.S. State Department official told Congress last week that America’s Arab allies are also considering sending their own troops into the fray.
• Iran has been an active participant in the war against the Islamic State practically from the outset, with a major escalation of its military involvement beginning in June 2014. Until then, most military observers thought Iran would provide strictly logistic support, but there’s now abundant evidence that it has also sent in troops, heavy weapons, and even fighter jets.
• Lebanon’s Hezbollah, largely sponsored by Iran, has provided more foreign troops in the Syrian war than any other country or group.
• Russia launched its direct intervention in the Syrian war this past Sept. 30 with over 1,630 air strikes just in the first five weeks of operations so far. This ushers in a new and more dangerous phase of the war because, according to State Department testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee last week, 85-90% of those air strikes are aimed at U.S.-backed rebels.

Thus, according to BMI Research, Russia’s targeting of Western-backed Syrian rebels will seriously raise tensions with the West, while the West will be largely powerless to halt Moscow’s strikes. Moreover, Russia itself risks getting caught up in an unintended clash with the West or being dragged into an open-ended conflict. The most immediate risk, BMI writes, is “some sort of incident between Russian and NATO/Gulf aircraft in and around Syria, such as a collision or provocation, especially if it results in fatalities.” Another risk, they say, stems from ground forces that Moscow has sent into Syria to assist its air campaign. Plus, adding momentum to the escalation, last week Russia sent anti-aircraft missiles to Syria to safeguard its jets.

Most of this chaos is deeply rooted in the past and will endure for many years into the future. This is not a single episode that comes and goes quickly. It’s the culmination of centuries of escalating tensions that trace their roots to: The death and succession of Muhammad, splitting Shias from Sunnis in the 7th century; The Crusades that pit Christians against Muslims in the Middle Ages; The fall of the Ottoman Empire, as Britain encouraged an “Arab Revolt” against the Ottomans in the early 1920s; Cold War proxy battles between the United States and the Soviet Union — a time when the CIA provided arms to Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, and now; A free-for-all series of military actions by two opposing military forces:
• Western nations and their Sunni allies — most notably Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf nations versus …
• Russia and its Shiite allies — especially Iran, the Syrian regime, Hezbollah and, surprisingly, even Iraq.

The key point: These two global alliances are split along the same fault line between Sunni and Shiite Islam that first appeared after the death of Muhammad 1,383 years ago.
It’s obviously not a new conflict. It’s not going away any time soon. And now, two major world powers — the U.S. and Russia — have not only taken opposing sides, but they’ve also joined the battle. “Peace” Talks? Yes, there were Vienna talks on Oct. 30. But they were everything but peaceful. Instead, it was mostly a forum for Saudi Arabia (Sunni) to directly attack Iran (Shiite). And the two sides vowed never to agree about the critical issue in the war — the fate of Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad.
The Saudi foreign minister restated the Saudi position that peace could not be achieved as long as Mr. Assad stayed in power: “He should leave this afternoon. The sooner the better.” The Saudi official also insisted that Iranian forces would have to be withdrawn as part of any agreement … threatened to step up support for moderate Syrian rebels … and vowed to send them more lethal weapons.

Meanwhile, the Islamic State continues to score victories.
Despite peace talks … despite thousands of air strikes by both the U.S. and Russian sides … despite the direct intervention by so many nations in the region and beyond … the Islamic State continues to hold most of its gains and even advance in some areas.
Just recently, Islamic State fighters captured the Syrian town of Maheen and mounted a major offensive against Sadad, a mostly Christian town. This brings the Islamic State to within 13 miles of the main road linking the Syrian capital Damascus to their main base in Homs. And this expands their hold on the North and East of Syria after the group overran the town of Tadmur, home of the ancient ruins of Palmyra in May and took the town of Al-Qaryatayn in August.

Moreover, despite U.S.- and Russian-lead campaigns against rebels in Syria, neither side has done hardly anything to stop the spread of terrorist organizations beyond that war zone. Islamic State, their affiliates and other terrorist organizations have claimed credit for: the downing of the Russian passenger plane in Egypt last week; for violent bombings at peaceful demonstrations in Turkey’s capital; for new suicide attacks in Nigeria; for still more bombings in East Africa; for a series of assassinations in Bangladesh; and much more.
