US Military Planning Prioritises Russia and China over Terrorism

According to the New York Times:

The United States is switching its priority to countering Chinese and Russian military might after almost two decades of focusing on the fight against terrorism, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Friday, unveiling a national defense strategy that Pentagon officials say will provide a blueprint for years to come.

In actual fact, there is no significant threat of ‘terrorism’ either to the United States of America or to the West in general; this was only engineered by the West themselves as a Pearl Harbour style pretext for a comprehensive and far-reaching campaign against Islam. There is substantial evidence that whatever ‘terrorist’ events have occurred in the West were tacitly permitted in order to provide grounds for war and occupation abroad and to conduct internal programmes targeting indigenous Muslim communities within. These strategies are now firmly in place: America is engaged directly or indirectly in foreign wars in multiple Muslim countries including Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan. And, at home, the West is undertaking wide ranging initiatives against Muslims, including immigration control, school indoctrination and political alienation because of the perceived ideological threat from Islam to Western culture and civilisation.

Meanwhile, the age of unchallenged American power is coming to an end as Russia continues its post-Soviet Union return to great power status and China redirects its efforts from the export of cheap consumer goods towards projecting political and military power in its immediate region and beyond.

America will not succeed in its plans. America can only react as the global dynamic transitions from unipolar to multipolar and Islam is boldly resurgent with Western efforts at home or abroad continuing to fail in restraining it.

 

America Reveals its Intention for Permanent American Military Presence in Syria

Following comments made by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Wednesday, the Trump administration continues to justify permanent military presence in Syria. According to the Washington Times:

The Trump administration is pushing back against critics who say the White House is hyping the ongoing threat of the Islamic State in Syria in order to legally justify an open-ended commitment of U.S. troops in the war zone.

“Look, we are not seeking a pretext or a justification to remain in Syria, and we are not constructing any false reality involving ISIS,” a senior state department official said Friday. “The fact is the fight against ISIS continues. It is real, it is not contrived or imaginary.”

In the middle decades of the twentieth century, the West, at that time led by Britain, withdrew its forces from Muslim lands dominated by Western culture championed by a pro-Western elite confident that Islam had been forever defeated. But America has lost confidence in the strength of its culture and the loyalty of its agents and so is returning Western military forces to Muslim lands building bases in multiple strategic locations in the Muslim world. This should be viewed not as American strength but as American weakness. The liberation of Muslims from Western domination is near.

 

Erdogan in his Anger only Further Assists with American Plan in Syria

America has succeeded in drawing Erdogan into Syria once more, after he publicly vents his anger against American support for Kurds in Syria. According to the New York Times:

Turkish artillery fired shells into the northern Syrian region of Afrin on Friday as Turkey’s defense minister announced a military operation against American-backed Kurdish militias, despite warnings from the United States. The developments threatened to further destabilize a region fractured by seven years of war.

America has constructed a complex plan for Syria, recognising that Assad is incapable of controlling the entire country. Turkey is assigned to disrupt the continuing revolution against Assad in north-west Syria and it is for this reason that America needs Turkey to enter Syria once more. It was Turkey that previously deceived the Muslims of Aleppo, betraying them to Assad despite the previous inability of Assad, Iran or Russia to displace them. Muslims will not succeed in ejecting the Western disbeliever from their lands until they reject their agent rulers and instead support sincere, indigenous, ideological leadership that has pledged itself to Islam, constraining themselves to the detailed evidences of the divine texts, and committed to unify Muslims under the leadership of Islam alone.
