My take on them is not that simple. They have no aim to conquer the world. They have shielded Christians and Yadizi's from ISIS butchery. They have done that on multiple fronts. The reports I read indicate they are reliable allies and they are good at killing ISIS butchers. Even their young women are good a killing ISIS butchers.
No, they aren't Capitalists (whatever that means today). But much of our Corporate executives are not capitalist either. They are Fascists who seek to use government to end their competition and determine the business winners and loosers along political lines.
Being a “communist” is good cover if you are Muslim and no longer believe or you wish to convert. In Muslim countries if you come right out and say “Allah isn’t real and Mad Mo was a nut.” you are a dead man. If those who know you don’t kill you then the Islamic governments come after you.
A sadly accurate take on our sorry state.
Times have changed along with point of view consensus.
If someone had said this during dubya’s term, they woulda been flamed as a DUmmy Ron Paul troll.
