The UAE indicated its willingness "to restart their participation in the air campaign, which is very important," Carter said following a meeting with Defense Minister Mohammed Al Boward. "Secondly, [UAE agreed] to work with us on the ground in various ways."
The UAE stopped participating in the air campaign in late 2014, after Daesh terrorist group captured, and later executed, a Jordanian pilot.
Carter also said the UAE would be increasing its ground presence with special forces in Syria, in preparation for a campaign to recapture the city of Raqqa, the terrorist group's de facto capital.
In addition, the UAE agreed to train Sunni forces in Iraq, especially police who will patrol territories recent recaptured from the Islamic State, he explained.
A day earlier, Carter received similar pledges from the government of Saudi Arabia.
All this to contain Russia, well in truth they are just not smart enough, they don't know the language or Russian mentality, are abysmally ignorant of Russia history. All they know is it's a vast country, strategically placed and more importantly, very rich in natural resources, I think it speaks for itself.
They have as they saying goes "Lost the Plot". and the result of all this millions of innocents have lost there lives or had there lives irrevocably changed forever.
Europe is in turmoil. In the Orwellian language, Peace is War.
