Nobody is challenging Syria’s new leader over the slaughter that his government is either allowing to happen or is outright blessing. From Declan Hayes at strategic-culture.su:
Regardless of whatever names or ideological flavours they camouflage themselves with, the world’s various Jihadist outfits are so-called post-national groups whose ideas dovetail nicely with the ideology of globalist Western groupings.
Regardless of whatever different names or ideological flavours they camouflage themselves with in the various theatres they commit their crimes in, the world’s various Jihadist outfits are so-called post-national groups whose idea of what they term a Caliphate dovetails nicely with the ideology of globalist Western groupings like the European Union and the World Economic Forum, which seek to dismantle sovereign nation-states in favour of top down global governance. Though this is most evident in Syria, where I have most experience, it is also evident in Balochistan, which is conveniently perched between Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan and where jihadism, whatever its other qualities, is sure to weaken those three already fragile nation-states and therefore serve the interests of any and all actors who want one or more of those nation-states dismantled or destroyed.
The extreme and gratuitous violence and genocides we see in Syria’s coastal regions and which we previously saw used against the Yazidi, Mandaeans and Shias of Iraq scare off effective opposition and it traumatises target populations into compliance, all the more so if they are like Syria’s Alawites and are unorganised beyond the village level. Though this violence is, again, most evident in Syria where noted Christians and other players are currying favour with Jolani and his immediate family, it has also been prevalent in the multi ethnic Russian Federation, where schools and theatres have regularly been targeted by these self-same post-nation-state groups.
We have, then, at least two common features which typify these groups. One is their antipathy to those nation states such as Russia and the Syrian Arab Republic on NATO’s naughty list and the other is extreme and gratuitous violence. To this, we can add their loosely defined ideology and poorly defined economic policies to get a fuller picture of where these characters stand and precisely whose interests they serve.
