We’re already at war. It’s root cause is invented nations in WW2 in the Mideast. Add in regime change initiatives there beginning with George 1. Season with globalist manipulations from the elite. For good measure, add in a Europe without borders, internal or external, to stop the chaos the west created in the ME from destroying western Europe.

Plenty of reason to believe Turkey is aligned with ISIS.

Is Vladimir Putin right to label Turkey 'accomplices of terrorists'?

Senior Turkish officials have openly stated that the Kurds, the main US ally in Syria pose more of a threat than Isis to Turkey's national interests.

Maybe the local populace was too quickly popping too much popcorn for the upcoming American holiday as they prepare to watch America football on their satellite TVs. Then, too...maybe my Give-A-S*** button is broken.

WHy is the Pentagon arming, protecting, and
giving intel to al Qaeda and ISIS?

Same reason the Caliphate is directed from
the White Mosque on the Potomac and tolerated
by the complicit Congress which also uses the
IRS and open borders against the American people.

Muslims kill more Muslims than non-Muslims do. Just like inter-city blacks kill more blacks than whites or any other color does. So, IF black lives count, then the blacks need to disarm all the black thugs that are killing their own people in shootings.

Not hoping for random people to die in an explosion isn't the moral high ground.

It's the moral sea level.
