US 1st Armored Division

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Wednesday, April 17, that 200 troops of the US 1st Armored Division had been sent to Jordan to give the United States the ability to "potentially form a joint task force [with Jordan] for military operations, if ordered" by the President. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that they are ranged on the Jordanian-Syrian border to counter a potential Syrian attack. In a potential war between Syria and Jordan backed by US troops, Israel would almost certainly become involved.

Good observations in the Youtube imho. As mentioned relative NK kinda confirms the rumours of several billion in cash flowing to lil un to scratch his itch.
I'm wondering what the odds are that Assad will sell his russian & persian "allies" down the river to the 'west' in return for preferential treatment. Possibly the cypriot bank seizures should remind him that the western wagons have been circled firmly around him. (look at the map in Jrcole's youtube link)
Maybe the hook in the jaw analogy will bring the northern armies south?
