“Vetted, moderate” rebels in northern Syria are joining al-Qaeda left and right these days, according to commanders familiar with the situation, as the US has suddenly and without explanation stopped paying them salaries.
Many moderate rebels have been on the US gravy train for awhile, receiving $150 a month in salary for being “pro-US rebels.” The December salaries never showed up, according to Fursan al-Haqq Brigrade leaders.
One commander said he was told Tuesday by the State Department that they would keep sending “food and medical supplies,” but no money. Another commander predicted that most of the moderate rebel fighters will quit.
Which reflects the nature of a lot of the “moderate” rebellion, that they are there to collect US paychecks and, in their absence, they’re for sale to the highest bidders, which will probably be al-Qaeda’s Nusra Front.
It remains unclear why the US stopped bankrolling the northern rebels, though they’ve lost so much territory since the US war in Syria began, they may have decided these factions simply are no longer relevant to the war.
What's the punishment for providing material support to terrorists?
But there's no money for medicare and social security.
Being an Exceptionalistan means you can arm, train and pay terrorists and not be called a state sponsor of terrorism. Just as you can torture people and get away with it, and invade countries on false pretences.
Once again USG is defeated by their own deceptive politics, this time by ISIS, or if you will, cia created "moderate Rebels" whom were fighting a mercenaries war, by not getting paid they turning their back on a fake democracy and joining ISIS. War is not about a peace, war is about interests, geoeconomic, geopolitical and supremacy, those whom believe in that concept are blinded by the fact of their positions or social powers which makes them believe that it is only them, making them to believe that everything one day will belongs to them. These people are if not pschcopath, they just believe in their lies and think that world is flat and was made for them, the Swedish aristocrats, the English, the saudis family owned government business are just few to name.
If you fly emirats, if you fly, etihad, if you fly Turkish and Saudis air line you pay for these barbariabs salary.
What do the "Swedish aristocrats" have to do with it?
Swedish aristocracy is one of those far right European families whom supports the Syrian war and supports the expansion of saudis, Qatari and rest of the CCG religious dictatorial political ideas in Middle East, which by that the creation of ISIS becomes part of that supports. 3 years ago the Swedish king traveled to Saudi arabia where he apprised the dictatorial saudis regimes.
Beside that, the far right aristocrats Swedish government was part of the bombardment team of NATO while not being nato member, in bombing Libya. The neo fascism growth in Sweden are called New Democrats, they are the fourth largest political party in Sweden, they build their party due to being part of what is "Moderaterna", another far right political party with very much the very same idea of neo fascism influenced heavily by Israel. The New Democrats are the 3rd largest political party in Sweden, they are part of that aristocracy in cooperation with Moderaterna whom are for saudis, Qatari and CCG expanision regimes in Middle East, they are anti foreigner, pro american policies around the world. They simply are anti democracy but for aristocratic rules and decisions making, Swedish aristocrats are part of BP where BP is the supplier of us war machinery stationed in middle east wher Saudis are the supplier of that oil.
Few years back the Swedish foreign minister was forced to resign due to her cooperation with cia transporting "terrorist suspects" from Sweden when cia and the Swedish spy agency SAPO arrested a Egyptian man on the street and tortured while in custody of the Egyptian and cia black prisons in eastern Europe.
This man later was released due to non existing evidence. Don't judge the book by its colorful cover, read it first.
so they have decided to de facto ally with Assad then
Just for now. Obama has spoken that he'll be taken out next. You can't just cross his imaginary "red lines" and get away with it – even though you didn't cross them in the first place.
There never were vetted moderate rebel groups. But they couldn't tell you they had created, trained and provided weapons for terrorists.
Do a search of Iraqi military weapons ammunition caches Israeli made ISIS and see what the so-called righteous are doing.
American WAR PROFITEERS (NOT “defense contractors” as they call themselves) have deliberately done everything to CREATE war. They cannot PROFITEER without a WAR …… so the torture, prisons,have all been provocations to generate violence.
