An excellent primer on who protects and nurtures ISIS and assorted “our good USUK terrorists” in the huge porous Syria-Iraq-KSA-Jordan desert.

The desperate beleaguered Empire (1) activates them against the Resistance Axis, and in response, (2) the Iraqi Resistance relentlessly and incrementally attrites the US bases in precisely this lawless four-state region populated by the compradore desert bedouins. These Salafi highwaymen and brigands would have long ceased to matter or be more than a nuisance (their traditional regional role for 10 millennia) if it were not for the US armed forces, who openly defend them and instrumentalize them on command.

PS — as noted, in addition to squatting and stealing Syrian oil/water/breadbasket to impoverish and to prevent rebuilding and development, the western armies (chiefly US and French bases) serve as placeholders for the rise of Erez Israel (Greater Unholy Israel, from the Nile to the Euphrates). As with gas off Gaza, they front the economic red cape, but it has ever been Eschatological, about defense of western Judeo-Christian Zionism. For this last project of the combined West, they sacrifice everything, including their reputation and posterity..

Al Tanf US base is located in the bottom lime-green half-circle, at the junction of Syria, Iraq, and Jordan — the traditional land trade route between Iraq and Syria, and located within the Great Syrian Desert. This region is home to the inter-related desert bedouin tribes of the four Sykes-Picot created states, the imperial pool of proxies..

Another unsaid objective is to sever China’s Silk Road. This ancient caravan route passed by Al Tanf and Palmyra on its way to Damascus and the Eastern Mediterranean. This informs China’s defense of Syria and the Resistance to unblock intolerable obstacles built by Zio-USUK.
