——ISIS was only a proxy.-—
That is a correct statement.
But....
Iran has not had a religion of peace mask, merely several different political masks. The masks no longer hide reality
Turkey did not hide behind a religion of peace mask. In fact Turkey had no mask at at all. Turkey plainly and unequivocally makes it known they do not want the kurdish enemies to form a new state.
With the removal of ISIS, the battle is reduced to Syrian military deserters/separatists allied with Sunni Arabs and Kurds that have in fact formed a new nation east of the Euphrates River. With the Gulf Arabs and America in support that is pretty much a fact. The question is how far east does it go and how far south in Iraq.
Islam never had a peace mask?
Islam is not the religion of peace???
I’m aghast
Let me call “Bullshit”...
Bush said so on public TV
Then years later Obama is sending them cookies and ramadan cards.
Go figure.
