Last year US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said that Russia poses an existential threat to our country. What did we do about it? Nothing. What did the Arab League do about it? They handed Vladimir Putin such a thorough military defeat in Syria that the Russians have been reduced to performance art. Putin gets…
Propaganda will eventually kill your own loved ones
June 8, 2016
In June of 2014, I began publicly defending Israel against the propaganda being spread all over the world. I did this because Israelis are innocent of the charges made against them. Then in March of 2015, I began defending the Arab League against the propaganda being spread about the Yemen war. I did so because…
Battle of Midway has been won in the Middle East
June 8, 2016
As I get older, I become more impatient. Therefore I’m not actually the right person to be blogging about the great changes in the Middle East. But since nobody else can see what I do, it’s my duty to keep writing. Today was typical in that once again, someone who knows nothing told me that…
Beware those with an agenda to demoralize and anger you
June 6, 2016
It’s not my place to tell Muslims how to think or feel. All I do is provide information that people can use to help make a better world. I support everyone who strives to improve. Therefore I need to say that you must beware of those with an agenda to destroy. They play on your…
Amateurs are never as good as the professionals
June 4, 2016
For a long time, I didn’t watch videos from the Syrian civil war. Even though I know a lot about military issues, I hate to see suffering. The Syrian civil war seemed to be nothing but untrained fanatics slaughtering everyone they could. But one day I saw a video that seemed to show a new…
Warfare that requires soldiers with unprecedented skills
June 3, 2016
Major warfare has yet to be eliminated. But from a practical standpoint, nobody has ever had the courage to seriously try. It’s clear to me that the Arab League is not only making the attempt to end war in the region, I think that this effort will be successful. The main factor in ending war…
Kinetic phase of a major Arab League military operation
June 2, 2016
The US military uses the “Continuum of Military Operations” to describe American war-fighting. It has six phases, at least two of which involve kinetic or combat operations. Phase 0: Shape the Environment. This phase involves those joint interagency and multinational activities conducted on an ongoing, routine basis to assure or solidify friendly relationships and alliances…
Weaponry never lies. Trust only mechanisms of destruction
June 1, 2016
Today the Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD) began a lightning offensive on the city Manbij. By all accounts, this assault has been very successful. That’s because the preparations began last year. You should never believe words. Only weaponry will tell you the real story. This weaponry was photographed on the way to Manbij. The red arrow…
Watch a Saudi strategic special operator do his job
May 31, 2016
In Syria, the Islamic State is activating sleepers who have infiltrated rebel groups and the media. Double agents are killing people they’ve known for years. The Saudi strategic special operators in Syria have anticipated this development. For the first time ever, we get to watch one of the new soldiers in a real-life situation, close…
