I am not gonna comment about the origin of USA etc, I am not well informed on that subject.
I just watched the interview of the judge, the one that was the "boss" of court cases of anti terrorism for the last 10 years, and who stopped recently because the mandate is limited to 10 years.
He said in the simplest words, and I'm gonna make it a list of simple facts :
- it all started like al qaida : you let them grow, at some point they become big enough to export themselves and recruit outside, and they can afford to "waste" personnel by having them blow themselves up.
- now they ask "who wants to explode some french with a belt bomb ?" They can have 500 motivated people.
- what they do, and will do, is simple : wait for a few months. See the politics and the media create animosity against the Muslim community. This creates more radicalism. They get new recruits like this, more than those who died for sure
- the occident has to stop. US went to war yes, but at the same time saw interest (no secret : oil) and loves radical countries as long as they are doing business. This results in the existence of countries like Qatar and the Emirates which still have some kind of sharia laws (maybe sharia is a big word but remember that Norwegian woman who got raped in Dubai ? She had to go to the only church there to ask for protection because Dubai was gonna throw her to jail. There are many examples of this nonsense even in their airline companies which by extensions are controlled by the government since their sheikh is the CEO of about 30 mega companies) and are allowed to exist. They are not the origin of Isis; but they participate in the existence of radicalization.
Just as a note : in the Emirates there is a place with like a million tents with conditioned air and water ready for use and which purpose is only to be used during the 4 or 5 days of pilgrimage every year. They could have easily hold a million Syrian refugees in there in a single day. But they don't even care, so the refugees have to make more distance toward the occident to find a refuge.
- For dealing with France with some sort of contract with Airbus or whatever one of these cheikh asked to receive our most prestigious medal. That's how retarded we are. That medal is for heroes, soldiers and/or artists etc, and he is probably laughing with his friends right now saying how we would do anything to sign a fruitful contract.
- we have to stop reacting, and even though it's late work on all fields including therapy education reinsertion internet ban of anything related to extremism. The problem remains when they come back home and daddy is still a salafist. That's why at some point, you need to take action
- war or not war, the word is irrelevant : we have now, and the last 3 years more than ever, people using war weapons and organized groups who kill either innocents or state figures. The ISIS particularity is to be organized as a whole. It is not even a choice anymore, there is no alternative than to take action
- ISIS is the result of 10 years of inaction. we have let them become the monster they are today and we are so busy with Russia and politics and oil contracts (I saw We as a whole, not as a country, I have no idea how far my country is into this) that they just became big enough to do all of this and not care about their resources
- now they are giving the tempo. Until someone goes there and give them a tempo, they will export themselves freely
- we have to watch out the radicalization of Muslim people, and not let this vicious circle go on forever
- let's not forget they are terrorists and nothing more. They make a lot of noise but at the end of the day they kill less than any domestic accident. Elevator accidents kill almost as much as this weekends tragedy in a year. They are not even close to a superpower, they are next to nothing they are just professionals of fear. It's just about not being afraid and being realistic, and once you are there, it's difficult to eradicate them; but they can't compete. Any western country is overpowered compared to them. They have ak47, a few missiles, a lot of homemade bombs, a core of say 50000 fanatics. We have an armada, they can't even technically win, they are not in a rational state of mind but in total irrationality. Rationality would have been say, sorry for the example but it is true : France and Germany in the previous centuries, where one or the other would invade the other whenever it would have signs of weakness in order to get more lands and control over the enemy. Here we have fanatics who are told dying is a beginning, and who don't care about anything else at all.
- for info, the judge said he could clearly feel during the last years he extremists he interviewed were getting more and meme extreme in the goals they were given. The goal of a "rock concert" was already given to someone they got in August (they have stopped 5 attacks since January before this one). He said their strategy is to try many times until it works and it will because like he said if he needs volunteers for a 8 man operation he gets 500 in a second.
- he said not going there is not an option. It's by not going there that they became what they are now. It's not even a choice, it's already happening and wether or not we discover we have interests going on at the same time, the core problem of a terrorist state exist and will remain just like in the 90s, or in the 2000s, until someone cuts the head of the hydra. The problem is to keep our head cool and not create another monster in 15 years. As far as oil goes, it's disgusting, and I know already superpowers are contemplating getting a share of it and in a way you can't blame them individually because if they don't take it, their political opponent will. That's just disgusting but I suppose we have to deal with it.
Again no one wants war here, I'm glad this judge explained we have to stop people from mixing Muslims and ISIS although they have an obvious link whcuh is their religion, because that would just be playing their own game. But it was already happening, the absolute only solution is to increase action so that they become suffocated enough to have to defend themselves instead of exporting their resources. There will be other bombs however, in France or any other country, here and there, and it's up to us to keep our head cooled down, be smarter than them, and also find a long term solution against radicalism in specific.
