RECIPE FOR DISASTER

 This is an update on the situation with ISIS. In my opinion the recent developments that have occurred further my theory that history is being repeated, and events are lining up in a way that strongly suggest that ISIS is about to grow rapidly. If this growth does occur, it will make ISIS a major global threat once again. 


In previous posts I have talked about how the United States Military was going to move ISIS detainees from prisons in Syria (that used to be guarded by the SDF) to prisons in Iraq. Today it came out that 2,000 detainees have been moved into Iraq so far, with the number expected to reach 7,000 once the operation is completed.  


The developments described in the previous paragraph are alarming because the overall situation is setting up for ISIS to expand by using the exact same methods as they did in the mid 2010s.


ISIS has never ceased to exist in Iraq (just today in the Ambar Province Iraqi Security Forces seized one of the largest ISIS weapons caches ever). The concern is if ISIS starts to launch mass prison escapes the combination of the escapees merging with the cells that already exist in Iraq and ISIS coming from Syria might not just cause a resurgence but make the group a bigger menace then they were at the height of the caliphate between 2014 and 2017.

TWO HITLERS, WW3 UNDERWAY

 This post is going to be about an opinion of mine. As with each post that lays out my opinion on a matter it is based soley on history. The reason for this post is what took place in China over the weekend, and why I think it should be a warning sign to the world. Before I even get to what happened in China, and why I think it matters, most people are familiar with who Hitler is and the evil acts/decisions he is guilty of. I will mention second but first, you might read the title of this post and wonder who the second Hitler is I am referring to...Putin. The reason that I think Putin is a Hitler is not only because he is a dictator. Among many reasons that I think he is a Hitler is for the topic of this post, his ambitions in Ukraine and to a degree his actions exactly mirror the stated reasons for the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. This will be important to remember when I state my opinion. Since I assume most people know about the evils of Hitler, let me state who I think th...

REASON FOR THIS BLOG

When I was a kid knowledge of two events shaped my interest in global events. The first event that I learned about was 9/11 and I first heard about it in 2009, The second event that shaped my interest and the first thing I tracked as it was happening was the Arab spring in 2011. Ever since I learned about 9/11, I have always paid increasing attention to big stories around the world and at home but have always been annoyed with media outlets selecting which stories to cover instead on simply covering events as they happen. I am starting this blog to cover events in a straightforward way as they occur and to give my insight to those events. When necessary, I will add historical examples that help form my opinion. In a world that seems to be on fire people need reporting and insight without an agenda.

WHO WAS RIGHT? DANGEROUS SITUATION

 I closed the last post by asking what if anything people thought would happen between the United States and Iran by time I write this post. I also asked if something did happen, which side would be responsible for it?. If you said that something would happen, and it would be the United States (I am not saying the U.S was wrong to do it) you you are right. Yesterday an Iranian cargo ship broke through the U.S. blockade and after ignoring orders to stop, had its engine room hit by rounds fired by the USS Spruance. The other development I wanted to address is, today the U.S. Embassy in Iraq warned U.S. citizens already in the country to leave immediately. It also urged U.S. citizens not to travel to Iraq. The reason for the  concern is terrorist groups in the country are said to be aiming to assault Americans. The situation is so unstable the Embassy has cautioned U.S. citizens that want to leave Iraq not to go to the Embassy in Baghdad, or the Consulate in Erbil.
