Putin's escalating Syria involvement: A weapon pointed at European unity?

[JackRiddler]

4. Propaganda fail.

The article you link (but do not actually quote from) is sourced entirely to the State Department speculating about this supposed escalation, for which no evidence is presented.

State is so confident in its own bullshit that even it hedges its bets:

"If such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-Isil coalition operating in Syria," the state department said, using an alternative acronym for Islamic State (IS).

Your post pretends this "escalation" is established and dramatic and dishes up your own completely made-up speculation about why the Hitlerian Darth Vader Superevil Putin is doing this, namely to destroy Europe, etc. etc. Pathetic.

Meanwhile, people in Syria is fleeing Daesh ("ISIS&quot and other Islamist extremist militias as much as they are fleeing Assad's regime. The U.S. and even more so the Gulf allies are arming al-Qaeda splinters in Syria.

Daesh is the product of two factors:

1) the U.S. war of aggression on Iraq, which destroyed that nation and destabilized Syria - through four million refugees from Iraq, note. Thus your post is a case of projection. The US government actually did to Syria what you fantasize Putin is doing to Europe.

2) Gulf states arming the worst of the forces fighting Assad.

There's your "escalation" for you.
