It should concern us, the same power play is affecting all of us. Imperialism needs wars, our economy needs wars, we made sure of that. The ultimate goal of IS is, to destabilise countrys, communitys and alliances, to exploit the weakness, they did it, and they’ll keep on doing it.
But guess what; the american state has been doing so for 70 years, so nothing really new here, they learned well from their creator.
Europe has strong right wing partys nearly in every country, and with rightwing I mean a communicating xenophobic society aka Nazis.
Combined with the full media coverage of everything that is upsetting & dividing; creates a perfect warm pool for IS. The more refugees we send back or keep trapped in the poor surrounding boardering countrys, the better for Isis.
It is sad to see that some europeans haven’t learned from history at all, literally the whole of europe was on the move, as refugees.
Now tell me, does america have problems with those immigrants? Not really, they even boosted their economy, so they could become an empire.
America native population was cleansed to open the way to those “refugees” and the new american state.
It is not the best example, or maybe a great one. Either way is quite frightening.
Tillo, the Syrian civil war is a bit more complex than external countries selling weapons. Of course that war is profitable, but without weapons, there will still be war.
In fact everyone is selling weapons there. Europe to the Assad non islamic opposition, The islamic states of the gulf to the islamic opposition (they don’t like the Baaz state, and they want an islamic state) and Russia + China to El Assad, because it is their friend.
I still grew up with stories from my grandparents and the spanish civil war. I see a lot of similarities between them. Everyone wanted to help their friends, or the most interesting side for them. And in the way, test their new toys in real battle.
The problem is not the fanatics blowing up themselves, the problem is the people who they take with them in the fire. I’ve been in Paris, I’ve been having dinner in those same cafes stained with blood. Of course I feel concerned. It could have been me. It could have been a friend of mine.
