Who knew, when we all but defeated the Taliban, forcing them into caves, sent Saddam into a hole in the ground, and put AQ on their heals, they would be celebrating huge victories over us just 11 years later? Iraq is may be lost. We don’t have the will to take it back. With Iraq, ISIS will easily take Syria. What else? Qatar? UAE? Yemen? Oman? Saudi? The answer is yes. If Iraq falls, the Taliban/AQ will take all of Arabia. I have a hunch Putin and Obama are behind all of it. They’ll then have to fight over which one gets to be Antichrist.
Obama is definitely behind it, at least passively, but I’m not sure Putin benefits as much.
However, whatever happens, AQ has definitely been handed a major victory almost overnight. They’re staking out a huge territory, and there’s nobody to stop them (unless Iran, which is Shiite, attacks...which sure puts us between a rock and a hard place).
