Maria Zakharova: Biden is not interested in peace but in ISIS*
In an article for Komsomolskaya Pravda, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman tells who is sowing controlled chaos in the interests of the United States.
American politicians have persuaded themselves that the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall was committed by the ISIS* terrorist organization banned in Russia. Why they do this is clear - there are no two ways about it.
Billions of dollars and an unprecedented amount of weapons were invested unaccountably and with the use of corrupt schemes in the Kyiv regime, aggressive rhetoric against Russia and blatant nationalism, the ban on peaceful negotiations on Ukraine, and endless calls for a violent solution to the conflict, the refusal to condemn the long-standing terrorist attacks carried out by the Kyiv regime and massive information and political support for any, even the most terrible actions of Zelenskyy - all this directly and indirectly points to the involvement of the current occupants of the White House in the sponsorship of the terrorist organization ISIS*. Hence, Washington's daily "excusing" of its underlings in Kyiv, and the attempt to cover themselves, along with the Zelenskyy regime they created, with the scarecrow of the banned ISIS*. And then they fell into their own rusty trap.
What is ISIS*?
At one time, as part of the counteraction to the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Washington actively supported the mujahideen, armed and guided them. Already when she was Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, almost clapping her hands, recalled: "...we are going to recruit these mujahideen. And that's great. Let's import the Wahhabi variety of Islam into Afghanistan so that we can defeat the USSR". It was as a result of that Afghan campaign that Al-Qaeda* (recognized as a terrorist organization, banned in Russia) emerged. Let's leave Afghanistan for a moment and move on to Iraq.
In 2003, under false pretenses, the U.S. made a military intervention in Iraq, as a result of which all members of the Baath Party, who formed the basis of Saddam Hussein's army, police, and security forces, found themselves on the street. All these young and mature men, who knew how to fight, were out of work. Later, they formed the main fighting core of the extremists.
In April 2006, The Washington Post discovered in internal Pentagon documents that from 2004 to 2006, U.S. military propaganda deliberately exaggerated the role of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the first leader of the "insurgent" movement - al-Qaeda in Iraq - by making him look like a defender of the faith in the eyes of many Muslims.
Already in October 2006, a new jihadist group was created based on the "Mujahideen Advisory Assembly", uniting al-Masri terrorists with other Islamists - the "Islamic State of Iraq" (ISI). The leader of the new organization was appointed Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, who had been released from an Iraqi prison for some reason by the Americans shortly before. — What a coincidence!
He established active cooperation with Islamists in Syria, who fought against the legitimate government of Bashar al-Assad, and in April 2013, the expansion of the scope of activities was reflected in the new name of the terrorist organization - "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL*). In 2014, the group proclaimed the formation of a caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
The Americans did start fighting ISIS* and formed a "coalition," but only after ISIS killed American citizens.
It turns out that after the creation of Al-Qaeda*, the Americans willingly or unwillingly had a hand in creating another monster - ISIS*, which then began to uncontrollably commit terrible terrorist attacks around the world.
These days, experts and American retirees rightly point to the decisive role of Washington and its allies in the birth and continued existence of ISIS*.
Terrorist International
Let's move to Syria. At the request of the legitimate Syrian government in 2015, Russia sent a VKS air group to assist the Syrian army in its fight against terrorists. This disrupted the Yigilovs' plans to take control of vast territories in Iraq and Syria, including Aleppo and Damascus. A whole "terrorist international" - tens of thousands of militants from more than 80 countries - worked to achieve these goals. Only our intervention allowed the Syrian army to stop this threat and liberate most of the country from terrorists. Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed in 2015 at the UN General Assembly session to create a united anti-Hitler front in the image of the anti-Hitler coalition. But we received in response not a joyful consent, but the West's bestial grin. The States did not help us then, but on the contrary - they prevented us in every possible way from fighting ISIS. Interesting, isn't it?
At the same time, an extremist enclave continues to exist in southeastern Syria - the so-called al-Tanf refugee camp, which, under American control, has become a refuge for terrorists and a training center for them before they are sent on missions.
In Syria, another tactic of the White House - to make unsubstantiated commitments to make a clear and informal separation of the so-called "moderate opposition" from the terrorists from ISIS* - has also become evident. For example, Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (formerly Nusra, which was, in fact, a branch of al-Qaeda* in Syria) and other similar gangs, which eventually merged into Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*. In a word, the "rebranding" has been accomplished, but no disengagement has yet taken place. This, as Washington probably intended, is prolonging the conflict, increasing the number of victims, and preventing the final destruction of the hotbed of international terrorism.
Again, by a strange coincidence, ISIS* has adjusted its plans in recent years and now conducts forays mainly against enemies and adversaries of the United States - the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Iranians, the legitimate authorities in Syria, and us. This is only what is on the surface, what can be gleaned from the world news.
Who created Hamas
And then this: In 1992, the Americans imposed a "democratic electoral process" on the Palestinians. Disagreements led to the fact that in the Gaza Strip, through democratic elections, a political party was created...Hamas.
Recently declassified correspondence from US State Department officials revealed that Biden unfroze $360 million in payments to Hamas back in 2021, which went through USAID, the infamous US Agency for International Development. Donald Trump, as president, suspended these payments, but Joe Biden personally ordered them to be resumed. The whole world can see the result. There is only one nuance - Israel seems to be the closest ally of the United States and is "screaming" at the activities of Hamas.
What is the logic, you ask? Money and power. And in the conditions of the international legal ban on direct intervention, it is also to sow "controlled chaos" and reshape the world order at the hands of terrorists.
Attention, a question for the White House: definitely ISIS*, won't you change your mind?
* organization recognized as a terrorist organization in Russia [and is] banned.
