Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Chechens face an epic battle in Syria
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Chechen fighters and field commanders have featured prominently in the uprising against Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Terror of Aleppo ...
. While a number of them may have departed directly from the Russian Federation, others are likely veterans or relatives of exiles in Europe, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
or the Levant from the two separatist Chechen Wars that took place in the 1990s. For those who are anti-Russian and anti-Grozny -- the capital of Chechnya -- the draw of ISIS' so-called caliphate is strong.

#1  MANO-A-MANO, OWG CO-SUPERPOWER RUSSIA + OWG-SUPERPOWER IRAN, PUTIN'S EURASIAN CUSTOMS UNION + IRAN'S PERSIAN GULF UNION? [+ EU] AGZ THE ISIS.

No Obama + USA just yet because officially there is no OWG NAU = NORTH AMERICAN UNION just yet -
OWG NAU, let alone US-specific leadership of same still a Work-in-Progress???

#5  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

#6  Looks like the CHINESE are coming to Syria [Iraq?] ... ...

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > CHINA: IFF ASSAD ASKS, WE CAN SEND TROOPS [Etc.] TO SYRIA.

* IIRC DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > ARRIVAL OF CHINESE SERVICE PERSONNEL IMMINENT IN SYRIA.

* WAFF > ARAB NEWS SOURCE [Al-Masdar Al-Akbar] REPORTS CHINA SENT WARSHIP [via Suez Canal] TO SYRIA [to help Vlad's Boyz = Russia],SAYS CHINESE TROOPS AND MILITARY AIRCRAFT WILL ARRIVE IN SIX WEEKS.

To defeat the ETIM in Xinjiang = West China, you defeat them + other Hrad Boyz "over there" OTH/OTFH in Syria - Iraq? AFPAK?

Iff the above is true, I have to wonder iff China + PLA [SpecOps]will no longer be relying on China BFF-Ally Pakistan to deal wid the Hard Boyz, but instead will now be undertaking more direct military role or military action agz the post-Mullah Omar TTP + ISIS/ISIL in Same + ME???
