Typical of alliances made under the belief that "the enemies of my enemies are my friends".tands said:"President Donald Trump had a "positive call" with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, during which the two promised to cooperate on destroying ISIS in Syrian and repair U.S. and Russian relations.

nielsk said:I think it is insufficient to say " It all started with the failed multiculturalism experiment by the liberal democracies", this goes much further back, to the age of British Imperialism and early American Corporate exploitation, in the form of interfering with existing countries and governments in order to exploit their natural resources. So many of the Islamic aggression movements aimed at the western world are a linear evolution to the occupation then partition of India and the Middle East and the exploitation of oil.
Until we truly come to terms with the fact that over the course of history we caused most of this crap, we will never go down the long , tough row of actually solving it.

Stormy waters ahead!

This is a misrepresentation. If it had not been British imperialism it would have been French, German or Russian, it was a different age with a different morality, you might just as well complain about Roman Imperialism. Britain united India. No sooner than India was given independence than they opted for partition along religious lines.I think it is insufficient to say " It all started with the failed multiculturalism experiment by the liberal democracies", this goes much further back, to the age of British Imperialism and early American Corporate exploitation, in the form of interfering with existing countries and governments in order to exploit their natural resources.
