Hedge Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Interesting timing. 1) Kenya: It's my understanding that Al-Shabab is aligned with al-Qaeda, but there is a history of both working with Iran. According to this site they have received funding from Iran. And: Iran is new transit point for Somali charcoal in illicit trade taxed by militants: U.N. report Quote Criminal networks are using Iran as a transit point for illicit Somali charcoal exports that earn Islamist militants al Shabaab millions of dollars annually in tax, U.N. sanctions monitors said in a report seen by Reuters. And a history of Iran's relationship with al-Qaeda: Marriage of Convenience: The Evolution of Iran and al-Qa`ida’s Tactical Cooperation -------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Somalia: -------------------------------------------------------------- Update: I did find that the US hit this group a few days ago, so it may be a response to that. US Airstrikes Kill 4 Terrorists in Somalia Quote 01/02/20: Four members of the al-Shabab terror group were killed in three airstrikes in Somalia on Dec. 29, 2019, according to US Africa Command. .... The US military conducted a total of five strikes against al-Shabab in Somalia in December, killing six militants.

Rob's House Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I've been slow to form an opinion on this Iran situation because I don't have enough information to make an objective assessment, but seeing that every brain dead shitstain who's been consistently wrong about damn near everything for years is up in arms over it makes me think it might not be so bad. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) the Shiite Crescent not that i am any great historical buff or anything but i do remember being taught that the balance of Sunni and Shiites helped to keep the ME from going over the proverbial cliff in any one direction. Iran taking over Iraq via their PM stooge is probably not a very good thing. many things could change before the time to actually leave comes though.
