With Friday night’s ISIS attacks in Paris grabbing headlines, US officials are scrambling to take advantage of the situation, both as a way to dramatically escalate their own war against ISIS, and to court various other nations in getting more deeply entrenched in the conflict.
US diplomats are making the rounds, urging European and Arab nations to add to their involvement in the war on the notion of keeping ISIS fighting in Iraq and Syria instead of attacking abroad. France, already one of the most heavily involved, is likely to be the first to announce massive increases in their commitment.
The US itself is also expected to use this occasion as an excuse to double-down on the conflict, with last week’s talk of “mission creep” because of US ground deployments into Syria now all but forgotten, and officials and advisers all insisting the attack proves the need for a “more aggressive” strategy.
Over a year of US escalation in a war that officials initially insisted would be short-term and limited in scope has only seen ISIS itself grow stronger, and cemented the nations involved in the war as not just enemies of ISIS but targets to be hit abroad by them.
The decision to escalate further, then, is less a “reaction” to Paris than a lack of reaction, with officials simply staying the course on a path of escalation they’ve been on from the start, and using Paris as the latest excuse to speed up the escalation without proper debate.
Oh, how they (Western Powers) weave their evil webs.
Yes… let's end it.

THIS MEANS: US urge allies to escalate the war on Muslims and their countries in the region. This means that Paris attack like 9/11 was false flak operation to attack Syria and other countries by Western terrorist states led by the US. We are fed up with you and your mass murdering machine and wish to be wipe off the map for ever. Expose the faces of the real terrorists behind ISIS. ISIS is created to be used as an excuse to attack other countries like what they did in 9/11 where invasion of other countries became possible after these criminals staged a terrorist attack on 9/11. They have killed 3000 on 9/11 so 100 or 300 more in Paris means nothing to these CRIMINALS to escalate the war on defenseless people and bring dumb population on board. Obama regime like French government is a criminal state and must be destroyed. They are the source of majority of terrorism in the world. They use terrorism to implement their criminal plan. Speak out NOW against the criminal WEST.
Since a state party cannot win a war against an insurgency, none of this actually matters. The bright side is that the attacks have driven the EU Member States even closer together and seriously wrong-footed the anti-EU groups, compounding the process started by Putin's antics in Ukraine and the flood of "refugees". The French press is now openly drawing attention to the fact that the Russian-financed Front "National" (sic!) is closely toeing Putin's line. And, of course, Putin will have to "compete" by getting ever more bogged down in Syria. It might have cost fewer lives to have fought Putin in Ukraine!
Oh that is nice that you call people getting slaughtered in France a way to look on the bright side. Typical mentality of a neo-con chickenhawk. How about this attack should illuminate the policy of the lunatics in Washington DC of Middle East regime changes that has brought death and destruction to the EU nations. Putin rightly called out Obama at the UN over a month ago by revealing his complicity in helping these violent murderers in Syria. Putin is liked much more now than this creep.
Yep, coming from the mouths of the sh*t disturbers whom have cause this very mess. The EU should ditch Washington, the back stabbing terrorist supporting idiots and align themselves with Russia.
