This shit is going to get swept under the rug like the nordstream pipeline isn't it?
Listen, that rug really ties the room together.
It's a load bearing rug.
US State Department literally pulling a "you guys seem cool, don't come to school tomorrow"
Didn't ISIS also claim responsibility for an attack in Iran in the early days of the Gaza genocide? Very convienent for the US, Israel, and Ukraine.
So weird how ISIS-K attacked the Taliban and tried to get the US to stay in Afghanistan too. How interesting that ISIS attacks always pop up against American enemies at very convenient times for America
Don't forget attacks in Afghanistan targeting Chinese businesspeople and diplomats, including hotel bombings, in an effort to disrupt trade deals.
There was also an attack in Afghanistan after the US left
It was as they were leaving, and it was an attempt to get the US to stay
maybe i shouldn't be but i'm less suspicious about the ISIS-K thing there, some splinter groups aren't gonna like the taliban for local splitter reasons
Yet they wait until the day the US is withdrawing to do it? Come on
no that kinda makes sense to me too, taliban is busy filling the vacuum so if you want some territory grab it while they're busy and when you're not going to get third-partied by an airstrike.
ISIS-K is not capable of holding territory, they're a tiny tiny splinter faction. If they wanted a vacuum, they should have waited until US was gone. Instead, they attack as US was still there. They are only capable of terrorist attacks but not capable of holding territory. They never did any major attacks until the day America is leaving, then they attack an airport with both Taliban and US present to try and drag US back into Afghanistan for "counter-terrorism". This is the ISIS-CIA playbook, and I think you're a fool if you deny it. If you didn't pay painstaking attention to detail in the Syrian War, I would advise you not to speak where you are not educated.
i'm just saying it's operationally plausible to act on that day from the perspective of a local belligerent, not that it definitely wasn't the CIA.
If they wanted to exploit a vacuum and avoid US airstrikes they would have waited a day or two and not struck right when they did. The only plausible reason for the strike was desperation to keep their allies around. This was a common and repeated tactic in Syria to allow US to get a foothold
Ryan Grim has been showing a bit of a power level lately. I've heard him twice in the past month or so sit across the table from chuds in discussions around US foreign policy and tell them unironically, the worst thing to happen for the world is the collapse of the Soviet Union because it allowed the US to do whatever the hell it wanted and it has all been bad. Not a radical take, but not one I hear from libs.
He's still a Warren Democrat, but he does cover many foreign policy things from a decent angle. I remember him talking about the Ratlines awhile ago for example. Seeing him go to bat so hard for Imran Khan is pretty refreshing, when the Intercept's previous editor was attempting to take it in a "progressive Democrat" direction.
ISIS-K also bombed a Suleinmani memorial in Iran in January. Odd how ISIS targets seems to align with the US-Empire....
Russia and Iran both provided material support to Syria in fighting ISIS, with Soleimani being one of the most individually responsible figures for the defeat of ISIS.
Reflexive US-contrarianism is not a useful framework even it if is right much more often than it is wrong.
even it if is right much more often than it is wrong.
a framework that is right more often than not sounds pretty useful to me. Imagine if a gambler had such a framework to work with 
I don't have to imagine it, such frameworks for gamblers occur all the time; from people I've known personally with "a system" for winning roulette to those who consistently made money buying bitcoins or NFTs etc. Usually these things crumple early enough to not cause too much damage, other times the "has always worked before" heuristic leads people to bet their life savings based on very false assumptions.
The US-contrarianism framework may work for most revolutionary groups but if you do not consider the specific conditions of each will also lead you to supporting ISIS or opposing vaccines.
This is just so weird, I still find it odd it wasn't Ukrainian Neo Nazis
Russia has not announced any information of the terrorists or their funders, and the FSB used Ukraine 3 times in their only official statement. I would wait before credulously swallowing the western narrative that it was ISIS all on their own. Ukraine was likely involved
If what Russia is saying is true it technically was. It’s just an isis fighter who is also a citizen/fighter for Ukraine lmfao.
That's a rather unique combo
Only way it makes sense is ISIS is a CIA asset
That could risk an escalation in Ukraine, I think the US wants Ukraine to fizzle out so having Russian nationalists on an Islamophobia tear would help redirect regional anger.
Remember, no Russian.
Remember, no G*mers 
come on
I think Russia’s crackdown on neo-Nazism over the past 2 years have made it much harder to coordinate an attack.
Not that they have been eradicated, but clearly the flow of movement especially across borders are under much closer scrutiny than before, especially since they often couldn’t help themselves with having certain tattoos on their skins.
ISIS is the new Anonymous lmao
