The ignorance that blows up on some of these threads is just mind-blowing.
Are you serious?
You're telling me they can't fly some jets over there and bomb the place? Are you trying to say ISIS have like millions of soldiers? And since when the US care about innocents, please stop. The media who cover these areas are controlled by the government, they don't give a shyt about civilians.
That's ignorant as hell about the whole history of warfare. Do you even know how many bombs we dropped in Cambodia? And it didn't do a lick of good. We were in Vietnam for 20+ years, dropped more bombs during that war than we had in all of WW2, and still couldn't root them out. Look at the Soviets in Afghanistan - that was a smaller, less organized force than ISIS, and the Soviets had an enormous miltary and were as brutal as fukk, and they still got rolled by some fools in caves with a tiny bit of American logistical support.
You don't win wars from the air. And you can't bomb out a force that's integrated into the local population. It's way, way harder than that, as has been proven over and over and over again in history.
I personally don't think these videos are "fake" in the sense that it didn't happen... I just refuse to fall for the same ole shyt AGAIN, these nikkas are out here ridin in Toyotas & shyt and suddenly got all these weapons and funding and military expertise AFTER America and Europe show up?
The miltary expertise is from Saddam's disposed generals, who are actively helping ISIS because they were pushed out of power and all the shytes rule Iraq now.
The money comes from $120 million that they've made in ransoms, a couple millon they make every day from the oil wells they control, all the shyt they've looted and stolen from the cities they conquer (reportedly $500 million alone from the banks they broke into when they took down Mosul), and the taxes they demand from the populations they control.
The weapons are what they've taken/bought from defectors and overpowered/defecting rebel groups in Syria. They have so much money now that they're also buying stuff on the black market off of Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries. They got some stuff from the Iraqi forces they overpowered, but a lot of that is actually too technologically advanced for them to use (some of the new highly computerized shyt just takes too many tech guys to troubleshoot and maintain), so they usually destroy it so the Iraqis can't use it and keep buying the low-tech stuff with their ample money.
None of this is secret or unlikely.
It's just like Al Qaeda, Taliban, Contras, Nazi's etc.
Al Queda was funded by wealthy Arabs.
Taliban was run by Pakistan.
Contras were run by USA.
Nazis???
If me and 10,000 black men wanted to take over North Carolina, who would have the means to fund and provide weapons, food, transportation, medics, training, etc.
Perhaps because North Carolina wasn't already a war zone covered with rebel groups, weapons, and deposed generals like Iraq and Syria were?
I don't understand what you think would happen. Ok, we have satellite images showing the Islamic State. Now what? Infiltrate ISIS and do what? Clandestinely kill 50,000 soldiers? Again, the problem here is not a lack of information. We know where they are, we know what they're doing. We can't indiscriminately bomb them out of existence because it would be grossly immoral. We can't put boots on the ground and invade because we just spent 13 years doing that in Iraq...and it created ISIS. So we just do little drone strikes here and there, bombings here and there, and provide weapons and aid for people fighting ISIS (which often ends up in the hands of ISIS). This is a very complex mess that can't be solved by just taking satellite pictures or "infiltrating" ISIS.
Exactly - the people who write this shyt know nothing about it. They act like the world is so simple that the most simplistic ideas would solve everything....and since nothing goes the way they assume, they have to invent the most complex conspiracies to explain it.
ISIS is DEFININTELY the result of America's violence and idiocy in the region. But it's the (predictable, sadly) result of 30+ years of promoting war and terror in the area, not some secret conspiracy. Just like the Khmer Rouge, the Taliban, and every other brutal group that's emerged out of a population subjected to war for too long to be normal.
