Comparing feuding Bedouins on camel back stuck between desert Oasis to modern warfare, riiight
Ibn Saud had conquered most of the Arabian peninsula and consolidated it into one kingdom with the help of the fanatically religious Wahhabi Bedouins, who believed, among other things, that dying in battle was a ticket to paradise, that all images, from pictures to statues, had to be destroyed, that drinking and smoking and singing and dancing were sins punishable by whipping, and so forth.

This should be the picture beside "gobalist warmongers" in the dictionary.

Curious to know where these prehistoric weapons are coming from, where are they manufactured? Surely not in the US.
After reading more, the title should be "ISIS OBTAINS 1B worth of weapons from Iraq while no one was looking".

For those who may not remember:
The US was negotiating with the Iraqi government (which we installed) to allow US troops to remain in Iraq. The US wanted immunity for any crimes US troops might commit in Iraq. The Iraqi government essentially said, "No. If the only way US troops can remain is with immunity, then they can leave. We don't need them here anymore."
Suddenly an obscure but extremely well funded and well armed group called ISIS appeared on the scene and started rolling over Iraqi forces. It seemed Iraq needed US forces to remain after all.
Pretty convenient, eh?
Yes fully armed manufactured entity turns up suddenly just when needed. These dudes then go on twitter and burn babies. Everybody hates them. They then roll into Sryia with the support of the US and Israeli air support..
No one bats an eyelid these demons need to be removed..
Its all a little too convenient.. Just like Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
I Cant believe people are still falling for all these lies..

A dramatic geo-political realignment by Saudi Arabia is in full swing this month. It’s upending many decades of established strategic relationships among the world's superpowers and, in particular, is throwing the Middle East into turmoil.

That Zerohedge article you linked is MSM deflection...
The aircraft and arms being supplied, US. The training, US. Intel, logistics and support, US.
The recent sale of billions of weapons to the Saudi by US and UK is a precursor to this big
'shift', when in reality Saudi Arabia has been carrying the Proxy torch for the West all along.
The Zionists are doing everything in their power to make sure the Arabs continue to kill each other and weaken regional governments. The Yinon plan is working.
