Surely a gentleman of your deep interests is fully aware that almost all of these "Islamic" Militias have been funded and trained by the CIA etc.

Text book imperialist tactics, British Empire did it to a high degree, once USA took global dominance you see the same textbook played out again and again. Destabalise the country from seemingly internal conflict, then come in to "save the day" while taking rights to resources as a "reward".

US tax payers money is funding terrorist training AND the following conflicts, meanwhile pockets in high castles get very well lubricated!
