yeah, that's because most of them have not got back their tax refunds yet

ENOUGH with the back and forth insults and slams. They will now be removed on sight.

Also less slurs on the politicians as there is a forum rule and you are well past it.

Trump sees total rout of Islamic State group as imminent

US President Donald Trump has said territory held by the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq could be "100%" liberated as early as next week.

"It should be announced, probably some time next week, that we will have 100% of the caliphate," he told a gathering of coalition partners.

However, he also cautioned that he wanted to "wait for the official word".

US military and intelligence officials say IS could stage a comeback without sustained counter-terrorism pressure.

Please refrain. These types of posts tempts me to make truly vile comments about your intelligence and the morals of your ancestors.

This will be the third time in the last 12 months that he will have announced the complete eradication of ISIS.

Do you know who were the less critical thinkers about Trump in Europe?
Left anarchists. (Real extreme left thinkers, not fake ones like liberal socio-democrats)

They were surprised to read all these accusations against a President who clearly seems hating to send American troops abroad.

As they mentionned, Trump is a pure Capitalist. War is not good for business. It seems that he really dislikes to send American soldiers dying for causes that the market could manage much better.

European anarchists and marxists thinkers feared to see Hillary Clinton reaching the Presidency, because she had all the aspects of a war monger.

By the way, I suppose that real American extrem-left anarchists living in Slab Town don't care at all about Trump politics. Left people who are preoccupied in his politics is the wealthy left.


I only hope that the next US President will be a peaceful guy who will not try to impose his point of view abroad thanks to the American Army or unfair embargoes.

Why is it the business of USA to eradicate ISIS?
Is it because it's US interventions in Middle East that has created this monster?

The more I think about it, it just isn't realistic to expect democracy - in an ostensible form such as it is - to be maintained around the world without a strong US military.

China is hardly a democracy. Russia, whatever the state of their economy vs. the façade Putin tries to portray, still has plenty of weaponry at their disposal and clearly wants to expand their sphere of influence.

One can argue that the United States became the dominant global force it was due to the comparatively isolated nature of its geography re: WWI and WWII - America was largely spared the physical devastation of both those wars (Pearl Harbor, as destructive as that was, was a drop in the bucket compared to what Europe and Japan experienced). America became the trustee of Britain's global empire and interests post-WWII, because after WWII Britain wasn't physically in a position to maintain their empire.

So much of America's global interests in the 20th century - and, indeed, now - had to do with the control of natural resources and pacifying other nations in order to export democracy in the form of American goods, all under the threat of military intervention if America didn't get its way. It may be too simplistic for some to say this, but would America have been nearly as interested in diddling around in the Middle East if there were no oil resources to be tapped? I mean, that mindset was in place long before there was any jihad against America, long before what happened in 2001.

These various nations America has interfered with weren't just going to roll over and give up their resources and control just because the US asked them to. The threat, either implicit or explicit, of military force should these nations not have complied has always been a feature of US foreign policy. Just because America claims it is on the side of angels in terms of the country perpetually calling itself a democracy (a capitalistic oligarchy is closer to the truth) doesn't mean US foreign policy has been something other than what it was.

I'm an American. Born here in America, for the most part raised here, currently live here. Despite all the nationalistic jingoism I've been bombarded with my entire life (Manifest Destiny, 'God is on America's side' coupled with 'America is nothing other than a force for good in the world'), I'm under no illusions that America became the superpower it is because of anything other than we took what we wanted from others: that we did it at gunpoint with a smile a propaganda of 'democracy' doesn't change the reality of it. Today's interventions in the Middle East are a part of that larger context, which boils down to power and control via force, used or merely implied. If America backs off from that stance, Russia and China have no pretenses of not filling the void.

Yes and no. Yes, because ISIS/ISIL (its actual name is The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) is - as you pointed out - a consequence of the US invasion of Iraq. Make a mess, you clean it up.

No, because ISIS was directly created by Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, one of Saddam's former advisers and military commanders, and then bolstered by Bashar al-Assad of Syria, who emptied his prisons of Islamic militants, armed and trained them, and then sent off to fight jihad against coalition forces. Assad's intervention bolstered what was then a small insurrectionist force. So who's the real daddy?

Trump claiming he's 'eradicated' ISIS is as fatuous a claim as George W. Bush's Mission Accomplished speech. ISIS is based on an ideology as much as it is on military action. A third of its fighters were/are foreign - Europeans (infamously, the four Brits - aka: The Beatles - who made those internet snuff films) and North Americans joined up. You can't 'eradicate' an ideology.

Even through sciences and dialectic (good and efficient materialist education, if you prefer)?
ISIS made its bed on ignorance. Isn't it?
