THE ISLAMIC STATE’S
BATTLE WITH THE KURDS…WHO IS WORRIED?
Ok, before I get started, let me give a quick sanity check.
The Iranians are fighting the Sunni Radials in Iraq and
Syria.
The Saudi’s are prepping to prevent these same Islamic State
groups and their supporters from entering Saudi.
The Islamic State forces are battling Kurdish forces in
Syria.
Turkey is supporting the Islamic State forces.
The Hezbollah forces of Lebanon, controlled by Iran, are
battling the Islamic State groups in Syria as they prepare to defend their
homeland, Lebanon.
Ok, who was it that said about a month ago that the then
forces, then called ISIS, now called IS, were “ no real long-term threat to the
region given their numbers and capabilities”?
Oh ya… I remember… It was the collection of Talking Heads,
from the West!!!!!
For a group that was, “limited’ in their abilities, it seems
they are fighting a four front war.
The last time I looked, the most modern militaries in the
world could plan on executing a two front conflict.
So how is it this IS movement is executing a four front
campaign?
Let me make something as clear as I can.
How worried do you thing moderates are on both sides, Sunni,
Shia… Persian….Arab….Ottoman?
How worried are all of them of the movement none of them
take credit for creating?
Remember what I just mentioned above; the Iranians and the
Saudis are prepared to fight the same enemy!!!!!
Do you get the picture yet?
In classic warfare there is no better position to be in than
that of being underestimated by one’s enemies!
Having said that, let me explain how vital this ongoing
conflict between the Kurds and the IS forces has become.
Hands down, the most capable forces in the region, shy of
the GCC and the IDF, of having a chance to defeat the IS in combat would be the
Kurds.
Fearless and ruthless, trust me for I know!
Those that know the Kurds, the Turks, Egyptians, Jordanians,
and the Iranians know the fighting skills of the Kurds.
If the Kurds fall to the IS, the fear of their spread may
become overwhelming.
What is left of the Iraqi forces will stand no chance and
the forces of Jordan and Saudi will need to be doubled along the borders.
Assad will plead with his Persian Masters for even more
reinforcements and those pleas will most likely fall on deaf ears.
If the Kurds are beating in battle by the forces of IS, then
the new battle lines will only reach as far as Baghdad, what will be left of it
by that time.
Tonight, as I contemplate the thoughts that must be going
through the heads of some of IS enemies, I have to wonder what regional leaders
were feeling when they riders came in a full gallop telling tales of Alexander’s
march towards their lands?
Last night, I eluded
to the power of FEAR!
A defeat of the Kurds will strike a whole new level of FEAR
in the minds of many in the region.
Someone, somewhere, and I bet I know where, is trying desperately
to estimate the growing numbers of IS supporters.
As a movement grinds its way towards your country, city or
town, how tempting it must be to the youth, with no future of a real life, to
join the march?
The IDF / Hamas conflict is emotional and no one will argue
that, but the real story is taking place in a separate region….a region
named Rojava!
