Saudi Arabia and Turkey prepare for Syrian invasion, expect 'massive escalation'.

Thats frightening.

Erdolf the Pasha of the Turkey started to bomb kurds in syria right now.

Just a matter of time when a turkish fighterjet meets a russian one...

What frustrates me, personally, is that as far as entities that are a threat to humanity are concerned, ISIS is virtually irrelevant in comparison to Saudi Arabia.

If any country deserves to be invaded, and spiritually decimated, its that filthy ship-hole of a mistake on the world.

and any westerner that's been there for more than 5 minutes will know what I'm talking about.

The M.E. has been a mess ever since the WEST decided its borders and countries around WW1.

ISIS was created, whether it be by the CIA, KGB, or Wahabbis, ISIS is a created faction.

ISIS will die when we want them to. Anyone that thinks otherwise is silly. Once the money (yes terrorists and jihadists use money) dries up they will stop. We have every resource in the world available to stop them right now. ISIS only exists to create a problem in Syria and take away attention from Ukraine, where I might add things are heating up again after almost a year.

That's true, and it's striking that many people don't know that ISIS shares a part of its ideology with Saudi Arabia (bar the apocalyptic notions and other smaller details). Saudi Arabia is not only dangerous as far as it's statehood and regional powers are concerned. They're ideological influence on the Muslim world, which has given birth to the likes of Al Qaeda and ISIS, are just as damaging.

I thought if I closed my eyes it would go away.

The Treaty of Versailles did for the region. Instead of one great nation called Arabia, they spilt in up between the British, French and the House of Saud.

That may as well be Hillarys 2016 presidential campaign motto.

Russia better hope it isn't over Turkish territory when they do...it didn't work out so well the last time.

This will be our generations version of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 to kick start WW3

I'm not seeing that similarity or comparison at all. Care to elaborate?

At the time of World War I, various groups of countries had signed alliance treaties (smaller version of NATO agreements). The major players were Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia, later the USA.

Allied Powers were the United Kingdom, France, later to be joined by the USA. Central Powers were Germany, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. But these alliances quickly appeared and disappeared.

Once Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist, that triggered all the alliances. When one country was attacked, that was a declaration of war on all the other countries. In a flash, the whole of Europe was at war.

Now we have alliances with Russia, Syria and Iran on one side. Europe, the USA, Turkey and Saudi Arabia on the other (maybe other Arab States as well). Turkey, Greece and the other Arab neighbors can't handle the ongoing slow war and the millions of refugees pouring out. So they want something done quickly. If Europe and the USA won't speed up the fighting, they will. Like World War I, the danger is for one nation to take action in their own hands.

I am afraid that doesn´t matter right now anymore, where it will happen, but i guess in syria. It even doesn´t matter anymore who gets shot first.
Smells like the start of something big, i mean, turkey is NATO, so NATO is invading Syria right now, that can´t end well.

a reply to: stormcell

I'm familiar with WW1 and WW2 history. The Austria-Hungary and German ties led them to think they could conquer over an assassination. It didn't work out so well for them.

Again, why would you spend so much money on conventional army when you can use that money for nuclear weapons? This has been done by both US and Russia.

If Turkey and Saudi Arabia invade Syria they should be sanctioned by the UN because that move would not be legal. Let's see if the US and their western puppets are ready to sanction their best buddies. Didn't think so.

Let's hope Russia takes down erDOGan and the terrorist state of Saudi Arabia.

And don't forget Iran...

Saudi Arabian troops and military equipment have been transported to Turkey's Incirlik base, ahead of reports that both countries are planning an invasion of Syria. The countries intend to fight ISIS while also maintaining as a priority, the removal of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

Russia has warned against any such operations, and the USA stated that the Syrian government must uphold its promises if it doesn't want to see the possibility of ground troops entering the country.

Turkey declares that there will be a 'massive escalation' in Syria within the next 24 hours, and it is currently shelling Kurdish positions in the Aleppo province.

Update:

Russia has been dropping bombs on the strategic town of Tal Rifaat, north of Aleppo. The Kurdish YPG and the SDF are moving to take the town, which is in rebel/jihadist hands.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Daas. Even though it may not be nuclear, WW3 will be the ultimate war.

Those nations along with about 100 others (and the EU) recognize the National Coalition for Syria as the legitimate representative of Syria and no longer recognize Assad. They also hold Syria's seat in the Arab League. So with 3 of the 5 Security Council members recognizing the NCS and over half of the nations in the UN as well, sanctions will not happen. Since in the eyes of most of the World they would not be invading just entering at the request of the representatives of Syria.

Not that this is likely to happen with just Turkey and Syria. You can expect more air support and special ops assistance for the rebels but, not a large ground incursion unless it was simply to secure the border area. Now if they were thinking a ground campaign you would also likely find GCC, Egyptian and Sundanese troops massing in Turkey and Jordan. And likely some sort of covertly agreed action that would have Israel grab a buffer zone in the south. And if the Arab League and Turkls went in Russia would not have much to try and stop them.

USA trying to stitch up another third world nation just so it can use its allies (Turks) to invade this same sovereign nation when this ally Turkey has been training AND SUPPLYING the terrorists (including ISIS) with weapons You couldn't make it up if you tried

Just imagine that No more Saudi sponsored terror like planes destroying New York and metro bombs in Moscow. No more Turkish sponsored and supplied Isis doing a genocide of Christians in the ME.

Russia does us all a favour. Take them out
