This is a clever way to look at it.
You're making R Flair look like a fucking dunce in this thread and it's wonderful.
However, I don't think it's accurate to cast the USA as cultivating ISIS victories or benefiting strategically from ISIS in any big-picture way. ISIS is an immense force for instability across the entire region, and instability and unpredictability like that are bad for business. For example, tens of thousands of refugees floating to Italy from the ruins of Libya contributes to the instability of the European economy, whose crash would be devastating to the US, including the US elite.
It's also a stretch to claim this administration was able to plan or mastermind the current trajectory of things in Syria. If that were the case, you wouldn't have had Obama threatening Assad over the use of chemical weapons and then completely reneging on it. That was a blunder no matter how you look at it. Many knew the factions that were responsible for the insurgency in Iraq (many of the fighters came in from Syria) would go out of control once we left, but I don't think anybody predicted that they would come up with something like ISIS that has mass appeal to Muslims.

I like how you claimed I was a dunce, but then came forth with yet another logical assertion which only proves my point: that it isn't as simple as folks would like to believe.
Its ok not to know. I admit much of what I've said is based on collective info from all sides of the argument. Its just simple logic that none of the theories put forth even approach what constitutes a solid explanation for the things taking place.
Most of all what I cannot understand is the sudden sick adoration of Russia. A comments section on an
infowars video reads like a pro-fascist circle-jerk lubricated by Russian propaganda. Its disgusting.
Don't people realize that Trump never intended to suggest that Russia was good in any way, but merely that Putin was working in his country's interests from their worldview and that America's leader should do the same?
