War

ISIS's advanced, heavy weapons come from the US and allies. The meme that all were captured doesn't hold water.

"Most support for the jihadists has come by way of the aid the US offers, along with its allies, to the insurgency in Syria battling to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad. Washington has given this support even though the Pentagon admitted internally as early as 2012 that extremists including al-Qaeda were, as the DIA report said, “the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.”"

This is the absurd US cover for actually arming ISIS and al Qaeda.

"It is likely that, without this crucial early logistical aid from the US, the fractious and power-hungry opposition would have fallen apart, the bloody and ruinous civil war would have ended much earlier, and tens of thousands of violent deaths would have been prevented.

More to the point, the war would have ended before Syrian al-Qaeda (aka the Nusra Front) and ISIS could conquer much of Syria, and before ISIS could use its Syrian foothold to stage its conquest of the northwestern half of Iraq. By prolonging the war, the US gave the extremists the time, the space, and the chaos they needed to expand astonishingly.

As the DIA report revealed, the US government knew such blowback was a highly probable consequence of supporting the insurgency, even forecasting the resulting rise of an extremist Islamic State. Yet it barreled ahead anyway."

Because empowering radicals like ISIS and al Qaeda was always the plan.

The Wall Street Journal lifts the veil on evil US war policy.

"then read this recent piece in the Wall Street Journal on the evolution of the Syrian civil war, which opens with this startling query:
“In the three-way war ravaging Syria, should the local al Qaeda branch be seen as the lesser evil to be wooed rather than bombed?”
How can such a question even be conceived, let alone asked? After all, wasn’t the whole purpose of the nearly fifteen-year US military campaign in the region supposed to have been the eradication of Al Qaeda?"

That was all a sham.

The Taliban warns ISIS to stay out of Afghanistan. This is the warmongers wet dream.

Congress symbolically votes to cut funding to Ukrainian neo-nazies, but all this money and training will go to them because they're the most aggressive sect in Ukraine, the same way all US money and training went to ISIS and al Qaeda in Syria.
