| Russia Gets Real, Pentagon Freaks Out, Jihadis Head for Germany |
| 2015-10-05 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna You may, or may not, have noticed the growing body of evidence over the past year or two that strongly suggests that the U.S. government and its European "allies" are not really serious about destroying "ISIS". The first hint came early last year when the jihadi mercenaries took large swathes of Iraq and Syria, and the West did nothing but wring its collective hands and fret, and resolve to bolster the fighting capability of the wonderful "rebels". The second hint came this year when the U.S. and their partners began piecemeal airstrikes against "ISIS" that appeared to merely spur the head-choppers on to more success. The third hint came with reports that weapons supplies being sent to "Syrian rebels" were 'accidentally' ending up in the hands of the head-choppers. The most recent confirmation that Western politicians and military types effectively view "ISIS" as 'their guys' came in the last few weeks when the Pentagon reacted to news that Russia was in the process of establishing an air base in western Syria, from which to attack all foreign forces in Syria involved in the four-year-long attempted coup against the Syrian government. ...There is, however, one down side to this new development; Europe is already dealing with a large influx of refugees from Syria. It's really unreasonable of the Russians to risk adding about 30,000 more "ISIS" jihadis into the mix, most of whom, as I speak, are frantically shaving off their terrorist beards and heading for Turkey and 'safe passage' to Germany. |

| #4 Occam's razor. The bammer ran on "everything Bush did was wrong". So what is he going to do when faced with ISIS? Reverse course and say, "Gee, maybe Bush was on to something"? Nope. The bammer would rather see the Middle east dissolve into chaos then admit that his world view is wrong. |

| #3 embolden Russia to foreign adventurism - potentially disastrous for europe I think if I lived in Europe, I'd prefer the Godless Rooshians to the head-choppers. Not a good choice to have, but it seems like an easy one to make. |

One would have to have had their heads in the sand not to have noticed. Wait a minute, come to think of it... |

| #1 i dont think the anglosphere ever liked ISIS but perhaps the reason the US did not go in after them more decisively is it is just too difficult. We are all broke after long running wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, maybe it is time for the others to step up. Not to mention the hate-america-left crowd that complains every time there is an intervention making it untenable and impossible to do what is necessary, thanks to domestic politics. but the condemnation of russian interference does not come from liking IS but fear that it will embolden Russia to foreign adventurism - potentially disastrous for europe |
