In order to understand why the Islamic State has grown and flourished so quickly, one has to take a look at the organization’s American-backed roots. The 2003 American invasion and occupation of Iraq created the pre-conditions for radical Sunni groups, like ISIS, to take root. America, rather unwisely, destroyed Saddam Hussein’s secular state machinery and replaced it with a predominantly Shiite administration. The U.S. occupation caused vast unemployment in Sunni areas, by rejecting socialism and closing down factories in the naive hope that the magical hand of the free market would create jobs. Under the new U.S.-backed Shiite regime, working class Sunni’s lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. Unlike the white Afrikaners in South Africa, who were allowed to keep their wealth after regime change, upper class Sunni’s were systematically dispossessed of their assets and lost their political influence. Rather than promoting religious integration and unity, American policy in Iraq exacerbated sectarian divisions and created a fertile breading ground for Sunni discontent, from which Al Qaeda in Iraq took root.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) used to have a different name: Al Qaeda in Iraq. After 2010 the group rebranded and refocused its efforts on Syria.

There are essentially three wars being waged in Syria: one between the government and the rebels, another between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and yet another between America and Russia. It is this third, neo-Cold War battle that made U.S. foreign policy makers decide to take the risk of arming Islamist rebels in Syria, because Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, is a key Russian ally. Rather embarrassingly, many of these Syrian rebels have now turned out to be ISIS thugs, who are openly brandishing American-made M16 Assault rifles.

FFS. Please wake up soon. The US, House of Saud and Israel are ISIS.

Israel and Iran are not having a conflict.

They whine about one another's vast human rights failures, they both fund groups opposed to the existence of the other, and they neither of them have legitimate cause for angst. Frankly speaking, the opinions of their leaders are as moot as one another, since Netanyahu is a racist bigot who has no business leading a nation, and since Iran has a leadership comprised of mere clergy, and is therefore rightly beneath notice as a political object.

They have no direct conflict occurring at the moment, and the way things stand, they are not likely to any time soon. Iran poses no threat at the moment, as near as I can tell, to any bar IS, for all their bluster toward Israel. Iranian leaders are expected to wax angry about Israel, but I am certain that there has not been a leader in that nation who was serious about wiping out the Israelis for decades, else they would have enacted military action en masse, and made an attempt to actually DO the thing. They have not, ergo they have no such intention. It is merely a tool to make themselves look larger men before their public. Nothing more.

Our government along with the French, Yanks, Saudis, etc, well we as you say have been backing the wrong side.

No, in fact, Libya Iraq were destabilized to allow a Rothschild central banking system in. Everything is going according to the big plan. When will people wake up and stop sending their young to die for the globalists?

I still don't trust Russia's intentions

What you trust the USA? They are surrounding Russia with bases. Look at some history at how the USA has been involved in some 150 wars in the last century

Kill off the radicals and close down the mad madrassas who educate the terrorists minds, it worked with thye Nazis and it can work again if the super powers get together and do what everybody knows needs to be done

Sure it did...ever hear of Operation Paperclip and how the Nazis were lured into the US to start the CIA?
The ignorance of history on ATS never ceases to amaze me.



en.wikipedia.org...

Operation Paperclip (originally Operation Overcast) (1949–1990) was the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) program in which over 1,500 German scientists, engineers, and technicians from Nazi Germany and other foreign countries were brought to the United States for employment in the aftermath of World War II.[1] It was conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), and in the context of the burgeoning Cold War. One purpose of Operation Paperclip was to deny German scientific expertise and knowledge to the Soviet Union[1] and the United Kingdom

RT or Russia Today, is supposed to be somewhat similar to USA Today, isn't it? Who or what is the source in the RT article concerning Moscow's statement? Is it a legitimate source? What I have managed to additionally find, is another Israeli newspaper called Yediot Aharanot, where:


BBC Monitoring translates from the Hebrew of Alex Fishman’s report in the daily Yediot Aharanot:


“Russian combat pilots will arrive in Syria in the next few days and operate battle helicopters and warplanes of the Russian air force against ISIS targets and the extreme Islamist militias operating to topple Asad’s regime… Indeed, the Russians have no hostile intentions towards Israel or any other sovereign state in the region and their central objective is fighting ISIS and preserving Asad’s regime, but the mere presence of a Russian aerial force in the skies of the region will certainly also influence the considerations in relation to the way Israel airforce is used… Thus an Iranian-Russian coalition is being formed alongside the coalition of the United States and its allies against ISIS. On the way, Iran has become a central axis – in the eyes of the powers – to solving all the ills of the Middle East.” [From commentary by Alex Fishman in centrist, mass circulation Yediot Aharonot]

Either way it seems as though the newstory is circulating and moving in standard press..

RT is basically the propaganda arm of Russia's government. I like a lot of their stuff because they report far more facts than traditional US "news media". But I also take their info w/some skepticism, just with less skepticism than I do most US sources.

I showed that RT article because all of the other sites listed in this thread kept linking back to that same Israeli website's "story". So even though there were many Western sites reporting on this, they all came from the same source. That's not credible reporting to me.

Those were just scientists.............. They were of use to our governments.

The denazification of the German mind was an incredible success. It worked so well that today Germans are the most dumbed down population on Planet Earth when it comes to original political thought, their post nazi programmed guilt complex means they can't turn away a million immigrants a year who are invading Germany today.

It worked with the Germans just fine, it can if the will was there work again. When a serious terror attack takes place worse than 9/11 a few times over, the will may be there.

The way Israel's population is growing......................... You may have something there. They will need extra living space the way things are going, more than the west bank can supply.

The story is as bogus as the claims about MiG-31 Foxhounds being deployed sent to Syria.

Russia has not sent Mikoyan MiG-31 supersonic interceptors to Syria and does not intend to operate the aircraft in the war-torn country, CEO of Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG Sergei Korotkov stated refuting recent rumors.

Well I agree with partly what you just said. But other than what I just said on my last message I can't say any more. As you will have noticed my comment was deleted as it was a violation. Christ Knows why as you never get an explanation here at ATS.

But basically Israel's expanding. It's a Zionist thing and it explains why all this trouble in the Middle East is the way it is. For a Greater Israel to exist people have to die!

During a speech Sunday at the Citadel in South Carolina Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker said ISIS would not be defeated in Syria until the government of Bashar al-Assad is brought down.

Well Walker is talking out of his behind.

Because ISIS doesn't hail from Iran. It comes from the House of Saud and other Sunni 'friendly' allies.

Basically Russia has gotten in on the action defending it's puppet regime in Iran, and Syria.

I guess the US is still 'leading' from behind.

Hopefully the world will soon be rid of that scourge that is ISIS. I hope they get blasted back to the stone age.

ISIS is fully controlled by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It was their answer to Iran taking over Baghdad and southern Iraq. They were going to invade Baghdad but the Iranian terrorist moved in and held them back.

Israel will defend itself against them all. Israel has helped severely wounded Free Syrian rebels who have been drove to the border with urgent life saving medical care needed, just to be good humanitarians the Israelis take them into their hospitals and help them, but never ISIS. Most wake up in an Israeli hospital, panic and soon change their whole prospective on the Israelis being bad people.

Watch this if you think not, also if you want to laugh your butts off.

How many times didn't we heard this?

Putin has stated

Russia would conduct air strikes only if they were approved by the United Nations, he said, while also ruling out Russian troops taking part in a ground operation in Syria.
