The French Defense Ministry issued a statement Friday, confirming that
they had carried out a series of airstrikes on Thursday in northeastern
Iraq. French Rafale fighters carried out attacks on what are believed to have been a number of ISIS tunnels in the area.
The statement said the strike was carried out with coordination from the
anti-ISIS coalition, and with support from a Reaper drone provided by
an unnamed coalition member. They believe destroying the tunnels would
degrade their military capabilities.
French planes are based out of Jordan and the United Arab Emirates in
the area, and have flown 29 sorties this past week, according to the
defense ministry. Though the French raid carried out several strikes,
it’s unclear if there were any casualties or what, if anything, was
damaged.
Anti-ISIS coalition members are keen to emphasize that the recent death
of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi doesn’t mean the end of the war. With concern
about ISIS revenge attacks, especially in France, such attacks may be
provoking more violence abroad.
And then French wonders why terrorism in its soil has made a landfall.
The shell game of international mass murder for profit. All so the same entitled trust fund baby assholes get to keep their greedy share of the natural resources they need to maintain their ponzi scheme.
Population control should start with the 2500 wealthiest people on the planet.
Maybe if we started to value things other than material objects everyone could have a better life.
This is madness. The north-east is the least likely place for “tunnels”. Why bother building tunnels, as if a high value ISIS targets exist there, or are needed in urban warfare? Seriously, these people think public is utterly stupid and will believe anything.
Little Macron wants to build an empire? He already suggested recolonizing Lebanon.
With both England and France suffering from extreme but well hidden poverty— that is all they need. Spend money so the finance elite can get richer financing new military ventures.
Every country that went down that path lost its wealth. The best example is UK in the period of fantastic industrial revolution boom, when it had tremendous advantages over any nation on earth in its production and export capacity. But it also was in never ending warfare against. France for nearly 100 years, not to mention Spain and US. The bottom line was — by the end of Napoleonic wars — UK had debt twice national GDP, and did not repay it for the next 100 years. By which time it was in WWI, weakened some more, and by WWII was in debt to US, never to recover again.
Now, along with Europe, US is busy trying to prevent others from developing, inventing monsters to destroy , deterring Russia and China from rising, and neglecting their own science and technology. Something wrong in this math.
Tunnel building is a very popular passtime in Syria now. Everyone does it.
British imperial ambitions made some sense, not that I support them. I’m a “Little Englander.” But the Brits realized the British Isles lack the economy of scale to maintain such advantage. So, they wanted to expand the empire, especially to secure resources.
Had the Brits truly but desired greater size, they would have just aimed to integrate Canada into the UK. Canada is huge. I’m not saying this is “good”; I’m saying if expansion to serve Britain were the true goal, then Canada, even part of it, seems like the right target. Ruling over India and Africa was foolish. Why seek to rule over other peoples?
I guess then the British imperial wars were more often about special interests than imperial. Like the mines in SA.
The UK also free traded its advantages away. First everything was great, because only the entry-level industries were challenged. Then, the rest was lost. The same bad trade idiocy repeated for the US, originally justified by the idiotic Cold War. Free trade kills.
Now is the time for all white countries to bomb and invade the lands of brown folk. LOL.
Gotta loved the NWO 🙁
The obvious solution is let Assad and Putin deal with the area, and let the Iraqis deal on their own, they don’t want us… but America and Macron’s France are not independent nations anymore. Anyone who thinks our elected leaders make these decisions is very naive.
Every possible means necessary to start that war. Every. Our Earthly rulers falter, our people drift and dye.
…. Okay, so what evidence was the globalist French hoping to destroy with the abrupt closure of operation al Baghdadi?
Al Baghdadi was killed way over to the West in Idlib, but his stomping grounds included the NE border region.
Media has never been tardy or slow in reminding how Pakistan sheltered Osama while receiving millions from US. Politicians from within and outside ( India mainly ) never wavered in asserting and reinforcing the negative perception implied into that information at any context featuring Pakistan .
This guy was hiding in rebel controlled area in Idlib . But there s no whisper of any treachery ,no shock ,no outrage.
“Germany revoked the airline’s licence [Iran’s] in January in the wake of US pressure, while France banned it in March, accusing it of transporting military equipment and personnel to Syria and other Middle East war zones.” Middle East Monitor .
Hitler at onetime banned certain British officials from visiting Vichy France for making anti Jewish comments. No, he didn’t ,but should have and probably Hitler did .
Italy banned Iran’s airline also citing same false reasons.
The French got the US into Libya, when Obama was reluctant to do it.
The French are very useful to our hawks.
We need to be careful of how our hawks use the French (and British) against us.
