The previous White House created ISIS, and supported it militarily.
One example: in 2016 Obama used US warplanes to strafe Syrian army positions at a critical location defending Deir Ezzor. This attack was timed to support an ISIS ground attack which collapsed the Deir Ezzor perimeter.
US forces bombed the last power station providing electricity to Deir Ezzor. It seems the US also tried to syphon off ISIS fighters from Mosul to assist in the seige of Deir Ezzor.
Obama deliberately terrorised and destabilised Syria in an attempt to control future pipeline deployment across the country. Spitting Syria along the Deir Ezzor corridor is one way of achieving this.
The Russians were the first to effectively attack ISIS and to push back on the previous White Houses’ insane ambitions in the region.
Hope this proves helpful.
Obama’s not that smart, to get them to kill each other while the US clears Mosul.
In reality the anti-ISIS forces blocked off the escape from Mosul early in the process, which they never should have done, by taking the area west of Tal Afar. They should have left it “open”, but bombed the hell out of anything that tried to flee through it. Now instead they’ve been having to try to plow through ISIS fighters in dense urban settings.
And seriously, again - “.. destabilized Syria in an attempt to control future pipeline deployment across the country.”? Substitute the word “Afghanistan” for “Syria” and that exact same thing was written by a million different liberals back when Bush was president. What the heck happened that __we’re__ now the “No War For Oil” people?
