Jordan troops clash with militants on Syria border
The Jordanian border guards reportedly engaged in an exchange of fire with identified gunmen across the border.
World Bulletin / News Desk
"The Jordanian border guards engaged in an exchange of fire with identified gunmen across the border, but no injuries were reported," the source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Anadolu Agency.
The source said that the militants might have tried to infiltrate the border before being repelled by the Jordanian border guards.
However, sources with opposition groups in Syria said that the Jordanian forces fired at specific targets in the border town of Zayzun. Yet, they did not give further details.
The confrontation came hours after Jordan confirmed the participation of its warplanes in a U.S.-led air offensive against the militant ISIL in Syria.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said on Tuesday that the U.S. and partner nations had carried out airstrikes against the militant group in Syria.
He added that the U.S. and allied forces were using a combination of fighter and bomber aircraft – in addition to Tomahawk cruise missiles – to attack ISIL targets.
Earlier this month, U.S. President Barack Obama authorized the U.S. military to strike ISIL targets in Syria as part of a larger strategy to combat the militants.
Under a new strategy unveiled by Obama earlier this month, the U.S. plans to lead an international coalition against the militant group throughout Iraq and Syria.
Obama has asserted, however, that U.S. combat troops would not be deployed in Iraq to fight the group.

Martin Armstrong Warns The West "Sanctioning Russia Is A Big Mistake"

Judging from the plunge in stocks and the Ruble and along with proclamations that Russia is "isolated" (when it is clearly not), The West's sanctions appear to be achieving their goals (propaganda-wise). However, Martin Armstrong warns "politicians just keep making the same mistakes over and over again," as he explains, to the people of Russia, "sanctions only make Putin stronger for they allow him to point to the West as the evil empire."
Via Armstrong Economics,
Politicians just keep making the same mistake over and over again.

They perpetually turn to sanctions bankrupting private business with no respect whatsoever as the USA is wiping out farmers in Europe.
But worst of all, there is not a single incident where sanctions have EVER worked even once. They often remain in place beyond a decade even as in Iran, but there is no change in politics.
Sanctions only make Putin stronger for they allow him to point to the West as the evil empire that covertly toppled the Soviet Union with a CIA plot.

The most popular T-Shirt in Russia says: "This particular tree [which is also the name of a weapon] is not afraid of sanctions."
The one in the middle says: "Sanctions? Don’t make our Iskanders laugh" (Iskander SS-26 Stone is the missile system shown).
The Mickey Mouse Club would be nice if there were really qualified people instead of questionable lawyers.
