Russia’s Deputy Defence Minister Anatoly Antonov has told reporters at the 6th Xiangshan Security Forum in the Chinese capital of Beijing that his country’s actions in Syria are in accordance with international law, and that should Iraq make a formal request for assistance in its fight against Islamic State (IS), Russia would consider it.
“In case we receive a request, we shall consider it accordingly. What I can say now is that as of today we do not have a request from Iraq like the one we have from Bashar al-Assad.”
He continued, forcing the point that Russia is working specifically against IS, and not merely pro-Syrian regime. “As there are very many insinuations about Syria, I would like to stress we have a written request from Assad for a military and military-technical assistance in fighting IS.

“We stress we are acting on a legal base and in compliance with the international law.”

Senior Iraqi officials have made overtures towards the Russians, expressing dismay at the perceived lack of progress being made by the US-led coalition currently targeting the jihadists in Iraq.
Hakim al-Zamili, chair of the parliamentary committee on defence and security, said earlier this month, “We might be forced to ask Russia to launch airstrikes in Iraq soon. I think in the upcoming few days or weeks Iraq will be forced to ask Russia to launch airstrikes and that depends on their success in Syria.”

So, in 2013, McCain meets al Qaeda, including al-Baghdadai, in Syria.
The leader of ISIS, al Baghdadi, aka Abu Du’a, bottom left.
Since October 4, 2011, the boss of ISIS Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, aka Ibrahim al-Badri, aka Abu Du’a has been on the list of the five terrorists most wanted by the United States (Rewards for Justice).
A premium of up to $ 10 million was offered to anyone who would assist in his capture. [9]
The next day, October 5, 2011, Ibrahim al-Badri was included in the list of the Sanctions Committee of the UN as a member of Al Qaeda. [10]
4. A month before receiving Senator McCain, al-Baghdadi, created ISIS - all the while still belonging to the staff of the very "moderate" Free Syrian Army.
He claimed as his own the attack on the Taj and Abu Ghraib prisons in Iraq, from which he helped between 500 and 1,000 jihadists escape who then joined his organization... [11]
5. I have always said that there is no difference on the ground between the Free Syrian Army, Al-Nosra Front, and ISIS etc ...
All these organizations are composed of the same individuals who continuously change flag.
When they pose as the Free Syrian Army, they fly the flag of French colonization and speak only of overthrowing the "dog Bashar."
When they say they belong to Al-Nosra Front, they carry the flag of al Qaeda and declare their intention to spread Islam in the world.
Finally when they say they are ISIS, they brandish the flag of the Caliphate and announce that they will clean the area of all infidels. But whatever the label, they proceed to the same abuses: rape, torture, beheadings, crucifixions.
6. Yet neither Senator McCain nor his companions of the Syrian Emergency Task Force provided the information in their possession on Ibrahim al-Badri to the State Department, nor have they asked for the reward. Nor have they informed the anti-terrorism Committee of the UN...
Accused of plotting the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak, the two employees of the republican branch of NED (International Republican Institute - IRI) in Cairo, John Tomlaszewski (second right) and Sam LaHood (second left) took refuge at the embassy of the United States. Here they are along with Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham at the preparatory meeting of the "Arab Spring" in Libya and Syria. They would be released by Brother Mohamed Morsi when he became President.
McCain with the Zionists and Nazis that he later helped put into power in Ukraine - Arseniy Yatsenyuk (L), and Andriy Tyagnybok (C). 8. John McCain has participated in all the color revolutions of the last twenty years.
To take only a few examples, ever in the name of "democracy", he prepared the failed coup against constitutional president Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, [13] the overthrow of constitutionally elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti [14], the attempt to overthrow the constitutional President Mwai Kibaki in Kenya [15] and, more recently, the ousting of the constitutional president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych...
In 1990, the United States decided to destroy its former Iraqi ally...
However, because of the opposition of the USSR, they did not overthrow the regime, but were content to administer a no-fly zone.
In 2003... the United States attacked the country again and this time overthrew President Hussein...
They tried to partition Iraq into three separate states, but had to give it up due to the resistance of the population.
They tried again in 2007 ... but again failed. [18] Hence the current strategy that attempts to achieve this by means of ... ISIS.
10. The current ISIS operation was planned well in advance, even before the meeting between John McCain and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
For example, internal correspondence from the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, published by my friends James and Joanne Moriarty [19], shows that 5,000 jihadis were trained at the expense of Qatar in NATO’s Libya in 2012, and 2,5 million dollars was paid at the same time to the future Caliph.
In January of 2014, the US Congress held a secret meeting at which it voted... to approve funding for the Al-Nosra Front (Al-Qaeda) and ISIS, until September 2014. [20]
Although it is unclear precisely what was really agreed to during this meeting revealed by the British Reuters news agency [21], and no media US media dared bypass censorship, it is highly probable that the law includes a section on arming and training jihadists.
ISIS "is led by al-Baghdadi on behalf of the Saudi Prince Abdul Rahman al-Faisal, a graduate of Sandhurst military academy. He is funded and supervised jointly by U.S., French and Saudi officers. ISIS works for the US, France and Saudi Arabia
11. Proud of this US funding, Saudi Arabia has claimed on its public television channel, Al-Arabiya, that ISIS's Islamic Emirate was headed by Prince Abdul Rahman al-Faisal, brother of Prince Saud al Faisal (Foreign Minister) and Prince Turki al-Faisal (Saudi ambassador to the United States and the United Kingdom) [22].
12. The Islamic Emirate represents a new step in the world of mercenaries...
Unlike previous groups in Iraq, Libya and Syria, around Prince Bandar bin Sultan, they have sophisticated communication services at their disposal for recruitment and civilian officials trained in large western schools capable of instantly taking over the administration of a territory.
Brand new Ukrainian weapons were purchased by Saudi Arabia and conveyed by the Turkish secret services who gave them to the Islamic Emirate.
Masoud Barzani, Kurdish politician who has been President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region since 2005 Final details were coordinated with the Barzani family at a meeting of jihadist groups in Amman on 1 June 2014. [23]
The joint attack on Iraq by the Islamic Emirate and the Kurdistan Regional Government began four days later.
The Islamic Emirate seized the Sunni part of the country, while the Kurdistan Regional Government increased its territory by over 40%.
Fleeing the atrocities of jihadists, religious minorities left the Sunni area, paving the way for the three-way partition of the country.
Violating the Iraqi-US Defense agreement, the Pentagon did not intervene and allowed the Islamic Emirate to continue its conquest and massacres.
13. A month later, while the Kurdish Peshmerga Regional Government had retreated without a fight, and when the emotions of world public opinion became too strong, President Obama gave the order to bomb some positions of the Islamic Emirate.
However, according to General William Mayville, director of operations at the headquarters, "These bombings are unlikely to affect the overall capacity of the Islamic Emirate and its activities in other areas of Iraq or Syria ". [24]
Obviously, they are not meant to destroy the jihadist army, but only to ensure that each player does not overlap the territory that has been assigned.
Moreover, for the moment, they are symbolic and have destroyed only a handful of vehicles.
It was ultimately the intervention of the Kurds of the Turkish and Syrian Kurdish PKK which halted the progress of the Islamic Emirate and opened a corridor to allow civilians to escape the massacre.
14. Much disinformation is circulating about the Islamic Emirate and its caliph.
The Gulf Daily News newspaper claimed that Edward Snowden had made revelations about it. [25]...
Gulf Daily News is published in Bahrain, a state occupied by Saudi troops.
The article aims to clear Saudi Arabia and Prince Abdul Rahman al-Faisal of their responsibilities...
Al-Baghdadi is under the orders of Prince Abdul Rahman (Member of Sudeiris clan).
It would not be surprising if al-Baghdadi continued his epic in Saudi Arabia (after a brief detour in Lebanon or Kuwait) and determined the Royal succession favoring the Sudeiris clan over Prince Mithab (son, not brother of King Abdullah).
SAS são instruídos a pouparem uma "bala" caso corram risco de captura pelo EI
Os operadores do SAS (Special Air Service), renomada unidade elite do Exército Britânico, que estão a lutar contra o Estado Islâmico no Oriente Médio, foram instruídos a lutarem até o ultimo homem e não serem feitos prisioneiros.
As ordens foram transmitidas depois que o Estado Islâmico abateu um caça F-16 jordaniano e capturou o piloto Muath Safi Yousef al-Kasasbeh , em Ar-Raqqah, Síria. Muath al-Kasasbeh foi usado para chantagear a realeza jordaniana, mas depois de negociações fracassadas, foi queimado vivo, ato que foi usado em um vídeo propagandístico do Estado Islâmico e que foi mostrado com exclusividade por esse blogueiro.
Os comandantes do SAS disseram que depois de capturados, seria quase impossível uma missão de resgate dos operadores, vide o Estado Islâmico mover os prisioneiros de local quase que diariamente.
A captura de um operador do SAS significaria um prêmio para o Estado Islâmico, que iria torturá-lo por semanas até executá-lo.
Uma fonte disse ao jornal britânico “Daily Star” o seguinte: “Os SAS foram informados que caso sejam capturados, eles podem esperar para serem torturados, esquartejados ou queimados vivos. Eles sabem que não há praticamente nenhuma chance de serem resgatados”.
“Todo mundo que participa de missão no Iraque conhece os riscos. A maioria dos rapazes nunca permitirão serem capturados”, disse a fonte.
Os operadores foram informados que em caso de captura de um operador ou mais, o governo britânico o máximo que fará será bombardear o local onde estariam os cativos.
Foi dito aos operadores também: “Se você for capturado e não puder ser resgatado em seguida, você irá querer que a RAF (Força Aérea Britânica) venha e solte uma bomba bem grande. Um fim rápido é preferível à uma morte longa e dolorosa”.
Fontes disseram ao jornal que operadores do SAS quase foram capturados em duas missões, mas foram salvos com a ajuda de um drone MQ-9 Reaper americano que interrompeu a investida do Estado Islâmico.
Todos os operadores das Forças Especiais recebem instrução como proceder em caso de fuga, evasão, resistência e interrogatório.
Mas até mesmo um SAS pode cometer erros dado as técnicas de tortura do Estado Islâmico.
“Como um membro do SAS, você sabe que será executado pelo inimigo caso venha ser capturado. É por isso que utilizamos pistolas. É a nossa arma secundária. Mas ela (a pistola) permite que defendamos nós mesmos caso a esperança acabe", disse a fonte.
