Are we already at war with Russia and Iran? Retweet
By Perry Willis
Do you remember when President Obama…
- Promised to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
- Won the Nobel Peace Prize before he’d done anything
Well, here’s what Obama has actually delivered…
- Sent 3,000 troops back to Iraq
- Still has 10,000 troops in Afghanistan
- Supported ISIS
- Gave weapons to other Islamist groups
But don’t think that Obama alone is responsible for these things. Republicans argued for similar policies. And things are getting worse.
Two years ago, on September 10, 2013, President Obama promised he would NOT put “boots on the ground” in Syria.
President Obama: “I will not put American boots on the ground in #Syria. I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan.” — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 11, 2013
Well, as of this week we now have 5o pairs of “boots on the ground” in that country. And if that sounds small to you, please remember that Vietnam began in a similar way, with about 750 advisors. But there’s more to this story than just a few advisors…
There’s serious discussion of giving anti-aircraft weapons to Islamist groups in Syria, and there’s a very real possibility that such weapons are already circulating. A Russian airliner was shot down recently and Islamic State of Egypt (IS-Egypt) has claimed responsibility. If true, then where did IS-Egypt get the weapons to do this? Our guess? The weapons came from Saudi Arabia, who obtained them from the U.S.
Don’t believe it? Think again. Senator John McCain has publicly advocated that U.S. weapons be used by Islamist Syrian rebels to shoot down Russian planes! But the insanity doesn’t end there. Our so-called government is simultaneously…
- Working with Iran to fight ISIS in Iraq
- But opposing Iran who is fighting ISIS in Syria
Only politicians could concoct such a lunatic policy.
But this policy is more than just crazy. It’s also dangerous. U.S weapons have constantly fallen into the hands of ISIS. All such weapons must inevitably be used to attack the Russian and Iranian forces that are combating ISIS in Syria. Said another way…
We’re providing Islamist groups, in Syria, with weapons that may be used to kill Russian and Iranian pilots. This may already be happening. U.S. politicians would call this an act of war if Russian and Iranian weapons were used against our troops. So…
Are we already at war with Russia and Iran?
And if not, how long will it be before such a war begins?
Please notice the trend. War in Iraq led to war in Syria, just as war in Vietnam lead to war in Laos and Cambodia. Now, Iran and Russia — even China — are involved in this latest conflict. The Bush-Obama policy of Middle East intervention has birthed incredible instability. Now, we totter on the brink of a world war.
— End Editorial —
The only way to stop this is to bring home our troops. Our politicians must also be pressured out of supplying weapons to the region. If you agree, then YOU must tell Congress. Then, ask your friends to do the same. You can use our campaign to “Bring home the troops.” The hardwired letter to Congress for that campaign reads simply…
Bring the troops home.
We suggest that you add to this by cutting and pasting the above editorial.
