Alwaght-You cannot believe a word America or its mainstream media say about the current conflict involving ISIS terrorist group.
You cannot believe a word France or Britain say about ISIS terrorists.
You cannot believe a word Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, or the United Arab Emirates say about ISIS terrorists. Can you say for sure which side of the conflict any of these Mideast countries actually finances, arms, or trains, if in fact it’s only one side? Why do they allow their angry young men to join terrorists? Why has NATO-member Turkey allowed so many terrorists to cross into Syria? Is Turkey more concerned with wiping out the ISIS terrorist group or the Kurds under siege by ISIS? Are these countries, or the Western powers, more concerned with overthrowing ISIS or overthrowing the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad?
You cannot believe the so-called “moderate” Syrian rebels. You cannot even believe that they are moderate. They have their hands in everything, and everyone has their hands in them.
Iran, Hezbollah and Syria have been fighting ISIS terrorists or its precursors for years, but America refuses to join forces with any of these entities in the struggle. Nor does Washington impose sanctions on any country for supporting ISIS as it quickly did against Russia for its alleged role in Ukraine.
The groundwork for this awful mess of political and religious horrors sweeping through the Middle East was laid – laid deeply – by America during 35 years (1979-2014) of overthrowing the secular governments of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. (Adding to the mess in the same period we should not forget America endlessly bombing Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.) You cannot destroy modern, relatively developed and educated societies, ripping apart the social, political, economic and legal fabric, torturing thousands, killing millions, and expect civilization and human decency to survive.
Particularly crucial in this groundwork was America's decision to essentially throw 400,000 Iraqis with military training, including a full officer corps out onto the streets of its cities, jobless. It was a formula for creating an insurgency. Humiliated and embittered some of those men would later join various resistance groups operating against the American military occupation. It’s safe to say that the majority of armored vehicles, weapons, ammunition, and explosives taking lives every minute in West Asia are stamped “Made in America”.
And all of Washington’s horses, all of Washington’s men, cannot put this world back together again. The world now knows these places as “failed states”.
Meanwhile, America bombs Syria daily and ostensibly, because America is at war with ISIS terrorists, but at the same time seriously damaging the oil capacity of the country (a third of the Syrian government’s budget), the government’s military capabilities, its infrastructure, even its granaries, taking countless innocent lives, destroying ancient sites; all making the recovery of an Assad-led Syria, or any Syria, highly unlikely. Washington is undoubtedly looking for ways to devastate Iran as well under the cover of fighting ISIS terrorists.
