Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Why did the USA fund ISIS? (lemmygrad.ml)

With the Mujahideen (Taliban and al-Qaeda), it was obvious: attack the Soviets.

But why ISIS? When they overthrew Saddam, why would they fund a group that would attack their own puppet government?

i mean, a middle east in peace would be bad for the oily aspirations of usa...a dozen of little terrorist groups with a islamic fundamentalist framework are another tool for desestabilizing the region and invading everywhere blaming "islamic terrorism" as the origin of the "need of intervention to restore democratic ideals"
