In case you don't know what's happening in the middle east.

[The Machine]

 ............. this is how I imagine the mass media explaining it to the zombies every evening on the TV

 

 

 

President Assad ( who is bad ) is a nasty guy who got so nasty his people rebelled and the Rebels ( who are good ) started winning ( Hurrah!).
But then some of the rebels turned a bit nasty and are now called Islamic State ( who are definitely bad!) and some continued to support democracy ( who are still good.)

 

So the Americans ( who are questionably good ) started bombing Islamic State ( who are bad ) and giving arms to the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) so they could fight Assad ( who is still bad ) which was good.

By the way, there is a breakaway state in the north run by the Kurds who want to fight IS ( which is a good thing ) but the Turkish authorities think they are bad, so we have to say they are bad whilst secretly thinking they're good and giving them guns to fight IS (which is good) but that is another matter.

Getting back to Syria.

So President Putin ( who is bad, cos he invaded Crimea and the Ukraine and killed lots of folks including that nice Russian man in London with polonium poisoned sushi ) has decided to back Assad ( who is still bad ) by attacking IS ( who are also bad ) which is sort of a good thing?

But Putin ( still bad ) thinks the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) are also bad, and so he bombs them too, much to the annoyance of the Americans ( who are good ) who are busy backing and arming the rebels ( who are also good).

 

Now Iran ( who used to be bad, but now they have agreed not to build any nuclear weapons and bomb Israel are now good ) are going to provide ground troops to support Assad ( still bad ) as are the Russians ( bad ) who now have ground troops and aircraft in Syria.

 

So a Coalition of Assad ( still bad ) Putin ( extra bad ) and the Iranians ( good, but in a bad sort of way ) are going to attack IS ( who are bad ) which is a good thing, but also the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) which is bad.

 

Now the British ( obviously good, except that nice Mr Corbyn in the corduroy jacket, who is probably bad ) and the Americans ( also good ) cannot attack Assad ( still bad ) for fear of upsetting Putin ( bad ) and Iran ( good / bad) and now they have to accept that Assad might not be that bad after all compared to IS ( who are super bad).

 

So Assad ( bad ) is now probably good, being better than IS ( but let’s face it, drinking your own wee is better than IS so no real choice there ) and since Putin and Iran are also fighting IS that may now make them Good. America ( still Good ) will find it hard to arm a group of rebels being attacked by the Russians for fear of upsetting Mr Putin ( now good ) and that nice mad Ayatollah in Iran ( also Good ) and so they may be forced to say that the Rebels are now Bad, or at the very least abandon them to their fate. This will lead most of them to flee to Turkey and on to Europe or join IS ( still the only constantly bad group).

 

To Sunni Muslims, an attack by Shia Muslims ( Assad and Iran ) backed by Russians will be seen as something of a Holy War, and the ranks of IS will now be seen by the Sunnis as the only Jihadis fighting in the Holy War and hence many Muslims will now see IS as Good ( Doh!.)

 

Sunni Muslims will also see the lack of action by Britain and America in support of their Sunni rebel brothers as something of a betrayal ( mmm.might have a point.) and hence we will be seen as Bad.

 

So now we have America ( now bad ) and Britain ( also bad ) providing limited support to Sunni Rebels ( bad ) many of whom are looking to IS ( Good / bad ) for support against Assad ( now good ) who, along with Iran ( also Good) and Putin ( also, now, unbelievably, Good ) are attempting to retake the country Assad used to run before all this started?

 

So, now that you fully understand everything, all your questions are answered."

Thanks for the wry chuckle, MACHINE .

Mind-boggling insanity at it's best...

Thanks Machine!  That explains everything in a nutshell!  Kind of like the "Hook" movie, are you with Peter Pan or Ruvio!

So now good & bad are all pointing weapons at each other...what a mess!

I like pie.    

 

GO RV, then BV

You forgot the Ugly one.  Oh wait, that's me.

 

Hey Mr. Machine, would you like to share why you wrote this piece?  Maybe some free time away from (the) home?  Hahaha

...and while the masses get fed the news porn, the real news

is 180 degrees in the opposite direction. The ones who are "bad"

are the ones delivering the lies but who would consider that?

 

Best for folks to turn off the 'news', unless they enjoy propaganda.

Apparently that is ok as long as the propaganda agrees with ones own

political or religious views which todays news is wrapped in all the label

defining nonsense that causes an emotional response.

 

Thanks TM, indeed we live in a weird world where we truly have little clue

as to what is actually going on.

Assad was never "bad" in the first place.  It's media propaganda.  It's the same old song and dance of the US  doing Israel's bidding destabilizing countries by sending in "Rebels" and either causing retaliation or manufacturing evidence to drum up support for a BS war.   Then, God forbid, the US bombs a bunch of people that they want moved out of the country and create a swarm of refugees.  All of this so that Israel can expand some day to Greater Israel in the name of Zionism.  Screw the Zionists and the butt kissing Freemasons that are manipulating this world.

100% true rothsdad. Assad has been accused by the US for many things. What is going on in Syria is US involvement,

and the only ones not buying into it is Russia, because they are well aware of who is behind the Syrian rebels, etc.

 

US lies about Syria were an easy sell here in the states, because of its location. Most have been taught that the entire

mideast is "bad", when that is totally false. More folks are beginning to see there is a real underlying reason for the growing

unrest and it does have to do with long term zionist plans, while many Israelis have little clue as to what their 'leaders' are

doing behind their backs...the very same problem as you know here in the US...diverting attention away from the real news

while the "players" increase their steps towards their goals. We have been blind sided by the 'news noise', while everyone

believes them, the real bad guys continue their march while creating a common enemy for people to hate.

 

Appears to be working well...

How embarrassing for the United States citizens to have to get truth from Russian military.  The jig is up. 

No wonder the US give the enemy a 45 minute heads up before bombing.
