ISIS Spreads to Afghanistan, Libya and Ukraine
You know about ISIS in Syria and Iraq ...
But did you know that ISIS is also spreading like a cancer in Afghanistan?
The Independent reported in July:
The Americans, who were, just three months ago, dismissing the arrival of Isis in Afghanistan as nothing more than an internal squabble within Taliban, now belatedly acknowledge they are facing a growing threat with very limited means of response after the withdrawal of the bulk of international forces at the end of last year.
The head of the US military has held an urgent meeting with Afghan president Ashraf Ghani to discuss how to “oppose the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant”. General Martin Dempsey spoke afterwards about the need to address “the transregional nature of what is clearly a persistent threat that has to be addressed at a sustainable level over a period of time”.
The Americans, in other words, are casting around for a strategy.
***
Isis has been posting videos of Pakistani soldiers being beheaded and has declared that the “Islamist State” will spread across Afghanistan and Pakistan.
As well as seizing territory from the Taliban, Isis are grabbing opium, of which Afghanistan is the biggest producer in the world, and moving it west along parts of Iraq under its control, adding to their already substantial war chest.
Similarly, ISIS is metastasizing in Libya. As the New Yorker notes:
“We think the threat from ISIL-affiliated groups in Libya is very serious and we’re treating it that way,” a senior Administration official told me, on Friday. “Libyans are, too. We’re seeing an increasing Libyan awareness of and willingness to confront the ISIL threat as time goes on.” The official added that the Administration was “ looking at who we can work with, both internally and externally, in order to confront that threat, without necessarily being completely dependent on the political process reaching a conclusion.”
Another senior Administration official noted, “You have the Americans doing things, and the French in the south, but to really leverage that against ISIS you need a national-unity government in Libya.” Such a government, he explained, would be able to request international military assistance. In the absence of a national-unity government, Frederic Wehrey, of the Carnegie Endowment, said he expected the U.S. to embrace some of the Libyan militia groups and “to work with whoever to fight ISIS.”
Sound familiar?
ISIS is even spreading to Ukraine … as demonstrated by reports from The Intercept, RT, Jewish Voice, Al Jazeera and Antiwar.
In fact, all of the countries which the U.S. "regime changed" (including Syria) have descended into brutal chaos.

Hey Martin Dempsey, if you are looking for a strategy to eradicate ISIS from Afghanistan, two words. CALL VLAD!
If Banks and Shadow Banks can create Derivatives that pay off the longer Middle East and South West Asia is in war and Chaos... Should this be illegal?
Other than the Ethical and Moral issues I mean, there are other issues in Treaties and International Laws. Maybe there are some domestic laws too.
- Mainly if the Effect of constructing derivatives that encourage and reward war, arms and other war material from the USA, Europe or whatever to the Wars... if the war derivatives encourage lobbying and incentivize lobbying for Middle East Wars... if war derivatives encourage and incentivize forming groups of political radicals like Neo-Cons, or Pro-Jewish Lebensraum expansion policies, or overthrow of democratic processes, or overthrow of governments or dictatorships...
- Maybe the Supreme Thinkers in the Supreme Court should make a decision on this.
"Ukraine" be careful isis ukrainian people are damn scary, one they join isis they will steal all your money, weapons, oil, food and even your organs
there a saying that any place an ukrainian has visited, a jew will not vist any longer.
that is wonderfully foreboding. why a jew and why not?
America wants to overthrow a legal government in a sovereign nation, but they want to be sneaky about it. They organize a terrorist group called ISIS that attacks the government. They pretend to be opposed to this group, and launch a feeble, token attack against it. They supply massive amounts of arms and equipment to the "Free Army" that represents the good guy. However, this free army doesn't exist, so the supplies get captured by ISIS. They use these to everthrow the government that America wants to get rid of.
Then along comes Putin. In two days he turns ISIS into a grease stain in the desert.
Taking heroin money away from the CIA.What will NY banks do with less money to launder for the Feds?
They would ask for another bailout Herdee.
You hit the nail on the head, there is no way that the CIA would give away their most important source of black ops funding to anyone other than a trusted proxy.
Then there is Mr. Washington's other slip up: "The Americans, in other words, are casting around for a strategy", which should read "The Americans, in other words, are casting around for an enemy."
I've posted this before, but... we can't ask the question too often: Who sold ISIS all those Toyotas? ISIS didn't buy them themselves out of some Texas showroom, custom-built for desert warfare! Right?

Funny you should bring that up:
The U.S. Government Supplied ISIS’ Iconic Pickup Trucks
1800-CALL-ISIS for all your friendly plumbing Needs!
I must admit this certainly seems like a wild BEAST in action. Wreakless, seemingly unpredictable causing mass chaos in its wake
Why don't they want to hit israel? I thought all muslims wanted a piece of Israel.
ISIS only attacks Israel's enemies.
Do you really have to ask?
ISIS are the nutured harpies of Barack, McCain and the neo-cons, which inflict death and mayhem upon their targets. ISIS's evil is Barack's, McCain's and the neo-con" projected evil.
In US law, they are called principles and as such deserve equal punishment. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2 ISIS's acts are war crimes. The principles abetting ISIS are as guilty as ISIS. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2441
War crimes text (Geneva Convention): "To this end, the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
a)violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
b)taking of hostages;
c)outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and de-grading treatment." https://www.icrc.org/eng/assets/files/publications/icrc-002-0173.pdf
There's the photo evidence of McCain with ISIS:

Anyone making these bullshit comments about ISIS being the USA's extra-military arm (or Israel's) has obviously NEVER BEEN IN THE MILITARY. Ditto any of the alphabet covert services.
ISIS is the enemy, period. They cleverly arose in a vacuum, and disperse at the first sign of military opposition that has its shit together.
Yeah, go out there and tell some US special ops his buddy's death, maybe at the hands of ISIS, was his own govt's doing.
Go do it you insulated fucks...I dare you. And see what happens. First rule in clandestine warfare; don't shit in your own mess tent.
You want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
hoorah
Well here is the thing Salah. This whole mess is about the desire of the Saudi's and our government to create a gas pipeline from SA and the gulf states to Europe through Syria and Turkey. The US is supporting this program to reduce the leverage Russia has over Europe as their sole source of natural gas. I have no personal kinowledge that the US is supporting ISIS but they are seeming to support any group which has a goal of getting rid of Assad. The importance to Russia of a small port on the Mediterranean does not justify the recent military invasion of Syria. But the maintenance of their monopoly gas market in europe does justify this direct challenge to American interests in the Middle East. Always follow the money or in this case the gas. You will never be to far from real motives.
Hey Salah,
The Pentagon admits to dropping 112 pallets of ammo to Nursra/al Quada in Syria. You remember Al Quada of course? The boogy man we are supposed to be afraid of... the reason we take off our shoes in airports and have a retard grope us. What do you say about that? Are YOU afraid of the nut bar clowns who have no navy, air force, submarines or nuclear weapons ? I sure am not and I doubt any sane person outside of the middle east is.
Go make love to your Gerbil.
Get serious Salah. For starters if someone were to be in "clandestine warfare" would they really set up a mess tent? Why would anyone seek out "US special ops" to inform them that their government is stabbing them in the back? If they were in your "special ops" hopefully, and most likely, they had enough brain cells to realize what a joke the foreign policy is.
On the other hand they could be coke head tatto freak mercs who don't have a clue of what is going on. I was in the military from '69-'73.
Are you a recently brainwashed new recruit private? Or are you just fucking stupid? They cleverly arose in a vacuum, hahaha!! I was a dismount SAW gunner (11B), motherfucking ground pounder. I make plenty of "bullshit" comments about ISIS, so what the fuck are you getting at? You try to bolster our military power yet you contradict yourself. They run at the first sign of military opposition that has its shit together? Well America has the #1 Army in the world (lolz) so why the fuck didn't they run when we "interviened"?
Maybe because we are them/ they are US. We train, supply and support them on the ground logistically. While "over there", I felt like my own command was just trying to get me killed, well I know they were. Why else would you put your troops in harms way, line of fire when you know that the results will be nasty. Warren Buffet himself recently said:
"Some People Just Don't Fit In The Economy" Buffett Explains: "We'll Send Them Off To Afghanistan"It kinda seems like I just don't fit in. I guess it's a good way to kill off potential opposition. But, you do get medals and trinkets and shiny shit to wear if you live through the fuck-fuck games and play along. I've been seeing many up here make comments about the military and vets, we are on the same side. We are the maddest, saddest, most shameful sonsabitches out here.
We see what are country is doing/supporting overseas firsthand. There are over 20 Veteran/Mil suicides every day, all day. Wtf is this about? My own fireteam leader offed himself, so many people that were in my company have cancer and other weird assed diseases, it's stupid, all fuckin stupid. In the name of what? Freedom? Weapons of Mass Destruction? Terrorists? Why?
You say; "Yeah, go out there and tell some US special ops his buddy's death, maybe at the hands of ISIS, was his own govt's doing". They already have these "bullshit ISIS" kinds of talks amongst themselves. You act like a brand fucking new cherry private, just waiting to get popped. Oh!!! SF, Oh!! Ranger, Ohhh!! Sniper. Close you mouth, you act like there are flying dicks going around the room or something!!
Most of the military were against what this shit show had turned into when I was in. Most people I know got out. Now I'm seeing they got a gay leader, arming trannies and are they're still killing civilians. Don't act like you know what some "US special ops guy" thinks. I keep up with my buddies, whats new in your neighborhood, dumbass?
I was in the military, enlisted and officer corps. I lost a few of good friends from my unit in Iraq II. ISIS is absolutely a creation of CIA/DoD (at a distance, like planting seeds and watering them), just as so many other tragedies have the blood squarely on the hands of the same. I've seen it with my own eyes. Sorry dude, you're fucking wrong. When military people see shit they shouldn't have seen, they're either brought in, or they accidentally fall out of the sky. That's just the way it is.
Have you warned the young generation?
At some point ISIS was like the beginning of caliphate rule. That has been their goal for a long time, since the last Calif snuffed it, I guess. The first time I read it was in the context of the Beslan school massacre in Chechnya, Russia - now 10 years ago approximately. In their heads, the caliphate was to go from the Middle East/Europe to the Uighurs in China. ISIS can only be defeated, if at all, through a very wide coalition that includes Russia, China, probably India and whoever has a probem with caliphate-lovers.They hide behind religion because they know we cannot do or say any thought construct that has been labelled religion.
The US has always used existing groups to influence the politics in any country that was not obedient, just like the Soviets did in their day. Stir the pot and then wonder when it boils over. In Vietnam they stirred to prevent the 1956 elections and the rest is history, including millions of unexploded bombs in Laos. The only thing to do, if you are tired of these wars, and especially their costs, is - don't play. "What would happen if the Emperor calls for war, and nobody turns up", is a famous line from the stage.
"ISIS is the enemy, period."
Absolutely.
"They cleverly arose in a vacuum"
And what created that vacuum? The lack of the only thing, apparently, that can keep these religious fanatics absolutely infesting that area of the world in line: a dictator. Who foolishly removed the dictator in Iraq? These ignorant, arrogant assholes:
-----
In his book, "The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created A War Without End," Former Ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith, the son of the late economist John Kenneth Galbraith, claims that American leadership knew very little about the nature of Iraqi society and the problems it would face after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
A year after his “Axis of Evil” speech before the U.S. Congress, President Bush met with three Iraqi Americans, one of whom became postwar Iraq’s first representative to the United States. The three described what they thought would be the political situation after the fall of Saddam Hussein. During their conversation with the President, Galbraith claims, it became apparent to them that Bush was unfamiliar with the distinction between Sunnis and Shiites.
Galbraith reports that the three of them spent some time explaining to Bush that there are two different sects in Islam--to which the President allegedly responded, “I thought the Iraqis were Muslims!”
“From the president and the vice president down through the neoconservatives at the Pentagon, there was a belief that Iraq was a blank slate on which the United States could impose its vision of a pluralistic democratic society,” said Galbraith. “The arrogance came in the form of a belief that this could be accomplished with minimal effort and planning by the United States and that it was not important to know something about Iraq.”

"Yeah, go out there and tell some US special ops his buddy's death, maybe at the hands of ISIS, was his own govt's doing."
Only indirectly, but the astoundingly arrogant stupidity at the highest levels of his government unnecessarily caused the conditions that led to it. It was and is their absolutely clueless meddling that is the problem.
And don't get the idea that I'm a pacifist. Far from it. Geopolitical gaming including the use of military force has been and always will be the way the world works. There's nothing I or anyone else can do or ever will be able to do about that. Since that is the case, I want the "coaches" of my "team" to be smart. They aren't.
They're f'ing bumbling idiots!
... disqualified from leadership.
stability trumps all ...would you prefer living in China/Russia/Vietnam or the Middle East?
I would agree it is in bad taste to go tell someone who is active military that they are fighting an enemy their own govt created.
But
When something is hard to say, a lot of times its just the truth.
Now if the people listening aren't open minded to the possibility, well . . . there exists the potential to get decked in the face by a marine.
Also, ISIS is not a direct branch of U.S. forces, its a group the U.S. funded, created to perpetuate a war so that the U.S. can spill into borders outside of current combat zones .... the scenario is sorta like well ..."O I know we attacked Iraq, but there is this new boogieman and he is called Isis and BTW hes living in your garage so I have to invade your land now... "and so on and on new invasion one after the other into new areas all blamed on the spread of isis ISIS IS HERE, WE NEED TO INVADE, ISIS IS THERE WE NEED TO INVADE,
ISIS IS EVERYWHERE ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO U.S.
Thats probably what the strategy was, and it failed horribly when Russia exposed the hypocrisy when it directly decided to engage and terminate the ISIS group , it revealed that the U.S. has no intention of squelching ISIS, and now you have proof that the U.S. govt is just para-dropping weapons in random locations all around the middle east..... they dont even care who gets the weapons, they just want a bunch of pissed off people armed to the teeth . . .
The greatest hypocrisy of all is the fact that while the U.S. govt is dropping weapons all over the place (its a weapons free-for-all bonanza ) right now, they are pushing Gun Control and Confiscation here at home....
What does that say about your govt? when it is actively caught red handed arming terrorists, while pushing gun confiscation domestically ??? lol its not that far of a stretch to connect the dots... cmon
you assume when you say isis is US funded.
Never forget, the elite power structure is a separate parasite, living off its host and has MURDERED ALL PATRIOTS who tried to fight it. Only ONE side is killing.
only one side is killing is right.

* NEVER BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE MILITARY - there, fixed it for ya
Just google it! There are lots of documents from US and Pentagon, Turkey, Saudi etc supporting IS
Salah you sure are righteous. Like you've been in the deep shit. Maybe we should call you four leaf instead. What do you think?
Bullshitting a soldier who's risking his life for what he thinks is a noble cause, is unconscionable. You're saying - trust your leaders, they know best. I say, what planet on you on, you fucking moron? The neocon assholes who are guiding, or mis-guiding, policy in the middle east should be lined up and shot for treason. Why is Russia destroying ISIS at blistering speed? Because they want to destroy it. We could've done the same thing, but is we destroyed ISIS and 'won' the battle against terrorism, the defense contractors might not make tons of money this year. We always need an enemy. Get It? We've always been at war with Eurasia? There's no money for the Pentagon without war, so we have to always have an enemy. Duh
Our message: Work hard, pay taxes, bend over.
ISIS message: We're from ISIS, here to rape and pillage. They bend over for us.
Which would you join if you were a young man?
Option C
Wait till both A and B destroy eachother, emerge from the ashes victorious.
I feel awful that Russia is now almost alone in this enormous fight:-(....We in the West won't help them. It feels like WWII again and Russians will have to bear the grunt alone again. Westerners don't seem to change. We are practically good for nothing cowards. Sorry to say, but it is so. And we even dare to judge them in any way??? We dare to judge their leader or their level of democracy? It just makes me sick.
These is how Russian ladies, who fought in WWII, looked like. These seemingly fragile creatures...more valiant than Western men at those times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kraFEWO7Z44
They aren't alone, the U.S. is leaving care packages full of weapons and supplies all over the middle east for Russia to discover.
Its like an easter egg hunt, except there is no easter because your in a Muslim shit-hole, and.... there are no bunnies, just pissed of Jihadis who want to shoot you.
Better find the eggs before they do.

Geo Wash,
Aren't you happy that your harmless muslim friends are having more influence in their home countries? Didn't you write one of your sorry assed articles about a year ago where you claimed to admire all muslims? Or were you just looking at the benefits of sharia law as it permits pedophilia and goat screwing?
Dear Sir,
Some Muslims are blood-thirsty terrorists psychos, who should be neutralized. I depise them.
But some Christians are blood-thirsty terrorists, as are some Jews, and some Hindus ... and even some Buddhists.
Personally, I come from the Judeo-Christian tradition ... not the Muslim tradition.
Please read the following book by Christian psychiatrist M. Scott Peck: The Road Less Travelled.
You will learn what a WISE Christian thinks about Islam.
In all sincerity, I pray that your soul matures past the depth of cartoon-level ideas.
-1 for use of the oxymoron "Judeo-Christian"--a neo-con term, sir.
ISIS will grow wherever gun rights are denied, Jews know this.
i would think gun ownership with or without rights was nearly universal in places like afghanistan and libya. and no ban on machine guns much less "assault rifles".
i daresay there are limited gun rights in israel and no sign of isis there. we can only hope.
And the US regime change in Ukraine resurrected Frankensteins' monster Nazism!
