Europe and the US just spent years supporting sectarian extremists as they rampaged through Syria; ethnically cleansing, enslaving women, decapitating children. Once again, the west sided with Saudi Arabia, barbarism, and chaos, for the benefit of a few corporations and an economic system in need of perpetual growth.
Chickens are now coming home to roost and we should expect quite a bit of terrorism in the coming years. (Though the threat will be exaggerated).
Great for racists, and great for those corporations/oligarchs/politicians in need of justification for taking away more freedoms, so that the system and profiteering can continue. (Not that there’s many more freedoms to take away right now!).
US support for the Mujahideen in the 1980s, including for Osama Bin Laden, resulted in 9/11. Now, history repeats. Will the cycle of violence ever end?
We now have the double whammy threat of terrorism AND evil viruses, to justify keeping us under strict control. Any chance we could start getting to the root of all these issues? The economic system... centralisation/concentration of power... oligarchy... separation... disconnection from nature...
