Following the recent attack in Moscow, it seems Russia is trying to blame everyone except the most likely culprit and the group who has actually claimed responsibility. It's frustrating as this is a common enemy and in order to see any success against the group and their ambitions of striking globally, we need a unified response not just from our allies but those countries we're at odds with as well. Given this group is a common enemy, we've done it before but today it's not happening.

Important Addendum: If your not watching this video, they probably still hate you.
They definitely hate you, me, and anyone else responding to this comment.
To quote a famous Wolverine, the hate keeps me warm.
Meanwhile liberals would welcome millions of them as "refugees".
@@MorpheusSLmight want to change your opinion on that. Hate begats hate my dude.
You don't have to like them, but don't reduce them to below human, that kind of mentality is not okay.
They will need to take a number. Currently serving #87
The enemy of my enemy is my friend?... Never works in the end...
Wonder why? 🤣🤣🤣
Well, if you take the enemy's enemy is our firend logic to the extream, thrn everyone is our friend. Cumbia!
Why do we care if terrorists are fighting terrorists?
Yup. Cause one day they are going to find out that cuts both ways.
@@HanSolo__ ISIS is a problem for everyone.
Proud member of the 4.2% 🤣
The world needs more women like that 4.2%. Too many people of both genders with their heads in the sand.
Same. WTF, where are my people?
C'mon ladies, work your socials, get your friends to follow Preston! 😂
Why do you think so few women are interested in this kind of topic?
@@loganwolfram4216Your little brother got armymen for Christmas, and your little sister got a Barbie. We teach kids gender expectations and they stick.
I grew up in the 80s and never hated Russia despite them being our adversary. In the 90s I hoped we’d ally with them to defeat Islamism but I’m afraid I won’t see that in my lifetime. Such a shame and a missed opportunity.
You're not planning to live another 9 months? Trump's going to win in Nov and the US will be Putin's lapdog again next year. Dogs are men's best friend.
The Caliphate does not recognize geographic boundaries. I thought it was weird that the alleged perps tried to escape through a Christian country and not a Muslim country.
Makes sense due to proximity through. I'd imagine it's much more straightforward to disappear once you make it into the nearest country rather than staying in Russia trying to get back to a central Asian country.
@@OldQueer Makes much more sense if they were supported by said Christian country. Westerners suddenly seem to lose the capability to put 2 and 2 together when they know they have been caught. A bit like how the US blew up the Nord Stream 2 and suddenly the entirety of the US security apparatus acted they were a bunch of amateurs.
@@OldQueerThe only explanation that makes sense to me is that they really didn't expect to survive post-attack.
Isis had Russian radio, Russian was number 2 language after Arabic and 2015 Paris attackers spoke Russian while terrorising.
Russian reaction is a classic Soviet era passive/ cynical way of conveying that they want to appease and not pick an additional fight with Isis while being busy in Ukraine.
Daesh doesn't recognise borders? Sounds like Russia...
they hate me? but im so nice and friendly :(
You’re probably white or black and not their flavor of Islam, this is unacceptable at a baseline for them
look at the bright side
since they hate you anyway you dont have to bother about their feelings
Not you, your representative.since it's convoluted to mention an individual who isn't making government decisions.Unless you somehow are.
Besides they can't hate you(specifically) without a good reason.
they do, cuz u not muslim
As always you and your team's hard work is appreciated! I look forward to your videos when I finish work to catch me up on these important events happening around the world.
Keep it up!
I hear ya. Thanks for the update, keep safe.
Video came out 9 minutes ago your comment was 7 minutes ago so you watched 2 minutes of the video and said thanks for the update, you are either a bot or a headline reader is TikTok really frying boomers brains too
(It’s a bot this mf comments the same thing every video and gets hearted every time hmm)
Alternatively, could be that he has been a long time subscriber and over time has deemed Patrick Stewart to be a credible resource and thus commented while he watched the video as I am now. It isn't as if he couldn't remove the comment if Patrick Stewart got something wrong in the remaining 15 minutes of the video. Not saying that is the case, it is however a plausible alternate explanation.
I mean to be fair the whole point of the video is quite clear by like the 30 second mark lol
Thank you Preston.
Keep up the good work preston❤
Several years ago the head of anti terror squad of Tajikistan republic defected to Isis. The guy, at some point, trained in Russia and the west. He was fluent speaker of Russian language
Group project.
And this is relevant how ? Operation timber sycamore provides more funds arms and trained personnel that were supposed to fight Al Assad but yet many defected to isis does this mean usa and cia indirectly financed and aided isis through timber sycamore?????? It’s a genuine question
@@firasajoury7813 Did you notice how the OP said he was trained by the Russians AND the West?
When it happened it was reported that we had trained the guy. It's only now that became relevant because there are people who can slip into Russia and speak Russian to conduct these attacks. Before we were only concerned with the Western training putting IS on notice about our tactics.
Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. These subjects are very emotional to cover and you don't do a fantastic job.
This is the most passionate we've seen him haha
"What grinds my gears"
It's absurd though. Considering what the US has been doing these past years, he's seriously expecting Russia to help the US?
correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he directly participate in the war on terror?
@@usergiodmsilva1983PTthe devil shivers when the white man says something grinds his gears.
@@MooseGaming3399% sure he did. I believe he said he was a forward observer or tank commander.
You're no nonsense yet passionate approach to Journalism is admirable and inspiring. I wouldn't be surprised if this took a couple more takes than usual. Much love.
Couldn't agree more. Thanks Preston.
You are terrific. Thanks for your hard work.
Shout out from ireland, keep up the great work
Thanks for being so informative. There are always biases but you honestly try to just present the facts. Definitely one of my go to channels. 👍🏻
Appreciate that, means a lot!
@@PrestonStewart you have bias, specifically when it comes to Israel-Palestine conflict. It is not notoriously strong but you lean to attribute the very same Islamist terrorists toward the land liberation, and it is fundamentally wrong.
@@alexinomuswe ALL have bias in various ways on literally every issue. Preston has been pretty open about this. He attempts to minimize bias but acknowledges it will always be there.
@@33moneyball I agree, and totally understand that Preston is trying his best.
However, there is always room to improve. Here is why: one common things that many North Americans lacking, is a perspective that is coming only thru the life experience.
Nevertheless, I keep watching his vids., as I see the value in them.
God bless the enclave
I like this type of content every once in a while. Most of the time you’re just calm and well mannered.
When you get mad it’s kind of refreshing.
The content is sad as always but seeing you lose your cool means you’ve reached your limit.
Keep up the good work Mr Preston! Salute from Atlanta, GA!
No worries mate, the hate feeling is mutual.
Greetings from Amsterdam, nice vid as usual.

Preston, I thank you again for you important work. What you said in the video had to be said.
Cheers from Mykolaiv, Ukraine!
I remember after 9/11 the Palestinians burning our flag, and then dancing in the streets in joy. I remember Yasser Arafat giving blood afterward to show support, but his face was filled with fear as he did it live on television. It was a long time ago, but that was burned into my brain. I started to try and research why. I get it now, because we are always in foreign lands, messing with everyone's shit. That said, I still remember that time period. I learned we are not friends with certain countries, whatever the reason may be. Be aware of our place in the world. I enjoy Prestons content. He is very accurate and fair, even though clearly biased opinions. I typically share common views.
Sounds like you must've done some exhaustive research to come to that conclusion haha.
Yeah, tyrannical leaders and religious fanatics don't like the US. Surprise surprise.
That is a false hypothesis that is easily proven. We’re in Japan, Korea, Philippines, Germany, etc etc etc. They don’t hate us for being there. If that was the reason every country would hate us.
You sound like me 15 years ago. It will take a lot more information and understanding to know why they really hate us. And that there’s no way we should let them do whatever they want in the world. They are tyrants and eat hungry evil people. They want to control the flow of trade between 3 continents and then be able to invade the entire world, while being financed with tariffs. They’re imperialists. I suggest try to understand geography etc. Regards
Well said.
The foreign lands you were in prior to 2001 was by and large because foreign lands wanted you to be in them. The US have been involved in the middle east due to the cold war thats true, and the region has been mirred in initially anti-colonial/anti-european sympathies, then islamism decided to make the west (and thereby the US as its front face) its archenemy particularly after some islamists such as Sayid Qutb had "negative experiences" with his and modern world views in the 1950s. Its not that the US isnt involved or havent had a negative impact on the middle east - as other events have also had, including inside the middle east itself - but there is a significant "love to hate" mentality particularly in the more islamist circles, and it was amplified after 1991 even though the GCC was begging America to do the intervening instead of OBL and the Mujahedeen.
Your presence in Jordan is wanted, your presence in the GCC is wanted at least from the Rulers' perspective as they havent told you to f*** off and they still dont. Its mostly your presence in Iraq and Syria that is not wanted, and two major countries have been fanning the flames of "F*** America" in the last 70 years - the first one was a Soviet allied communist Egypt and the second one is the current Theocratic Iran who is busy doing its own colonising but I think we're aware of that on this channel, and then non-state actors such as the Muslim Brotherhood to which Palestinians are significantly influenced by, and obviously because of the US relations with Israel which is a thorn in their side.
The US have done its share of protecting as well, notably the 1991 where US intervention was at the request of the Saudis who requested on behalf of Kuwait as the ruling family barely escaped the country and avoided capture by the Iraqis, the US have also protected Lebanon from foreign intervention back in the 1950s and 60s (keyword: Eisenhower Doctrine) when Egypt was the one doing the "messing with other countries". This region is complicated and it often seems like its streamlined because a significant demographic or "trend" takes precedence and the region isnt always super good at taking public accountability for its internal chaos, but a lot of problems arent solely or even at all the US' fault.
What they don’t understand is our presence in these foreign lands is actually needed… if not , pure chaos would erupt as you can see in the Red Sea currently.. nothing but evil and chaos dwells in the Middle East…
Appreciate your voice, in this chaotic environment
As usual great vid. Unfortunately as I gaze into my “crystal ball” I see this as only getting worse for many reasons.
Me and Russia have the same enemy... The United States Government.
One caveat, they can definitely get into our southern border right now.
lol yeah all those IS attacks from the southern border, remember Cons refused to sign a border bill that included Ukraine aid. Trump is a traitor who is controlled by Putin
I've never heard you more heated. It is okay to have feelings. You're still highly informative and I appreciate the effort you and your team put in.
preston woke up with a vengence today oh my
Something to consider. Would anyone take advice or intel from someone who has called them an enemy for decades and provided their opposition with weapons and money? Or would they be skeptical or downright ignore them because they feel it might be a ruse to bring the heat off their friend?
In this case, shouldn’t, US was vocal about the attack in Iran and turned out to be right
@@looinrims same goes for Iran. "Hey I know we hate each other but these really bad dudes are gonna attack you". I guess what I'm getting at is that our foreign relations with these countries, and theirs with us is garbage because geopolitics.
@@angelamaro3480 Yeah but at what point do you go "What do they gain from telling us about an upcoming attack?" Literally nothing, Putin had to make up a reason. iirc it was something along the lines of "To sew fear into the Russian people." Come on man, everyone knows the vast majority would just forget about it and move on with their lives anyway. Once that back fired he HAD to "find" a link to the West or he'd look like the absolute MORON that he is, so he made sure to "find" one.
Russia was aware, they just choose to ignore it because they know it'll make people want to fight against Ukraine. Which worked. A lot of countries do it for political reasons.
@@subjectc7505kind of sounds like 9/11 right, when a ex Egyptian commander warned of planes being used to target US targets yet was ignored
What do you expect? Russia thinks that it's the US that is being frustrating about working together over IS
I was an American living in Russia as a kid on 9/11. My parents were Fulbright scholars and I went to Russian school. The president at the time was, unsurprisingly, Putin. A country-wide moment of silence was held. Russian airspace was opened for US planes to fly to Afghanistan. There is a monument in New Jersey called "To the Struggle Against World Terrorism" donated by Russia. Russia entered Syria to fight against IS
But there has been so much goodwill lost because of political interactions between Russia and the US over the past two decades. It's nearsighted to be frustrated with Russia about it as an American. Own up to our own foreign policy decisions
Russia entered Syria to support Assad. Fighting Islamic State was just a side quest for them.
You were surrounded by intelligentsia. At about the same time I saw another storm coming among the working poor who were still a majority in 2001: Russian fantasy books about fourth reich on planet Crimea, novels about US occupation of Russia and "Abrams tanks in the steppes of Donbas", and the overall resentiment that glorious and mighty Soviet Union was sold for "Bush legs".

This apply to Hamas, Islamic Jihad and many other Islamists sympathizer in that region. Sadly this is extremely misunderstood in Israeli Palestinian conflict.

Khorasan province used to be eastern part of Iran , Iran lost more than Half that territory to Britain and Russia at end of 18th century but Khorasan province still exists in Iran .
The ANA we trained were mostly Tadjiks, Uzbek and farsi speakers. In Kandahar were I was deployed, the ANA were non-Pashtun and the ANP were Pashtun. TB were almost all Pashtuns. It is my understanding, that after the TB took over Afg in 2021, the Tadjiks and Uzbek that were former ANA SOF revitalised the ISIS-K. They were fighting the TB and Iranian through US handlers in Dubai. ISIS in Syria and ISIS-K is not the same breed, just like Al Qaeda has multiple incarnation, including Al Nosra who was financned and trained by US assets.
It is not far fetch to say that US has leverage over ISIS-K through the natural relation that existed between US SOF and ANA SOF. Very well represented in the movie Kandahar with Gerard Butler by the way.
You’re using a Hollywood movie as viable intelligence source and validation about collaboration between terrorist cells and nations… 😂🤣😂

NATO PROVOKED the ongoing war with Russia in Ukraine in 5 ways:
1. Nato expansion in Eastern Europe and more and more along the Russian border. Expansion even if Russia said many time to Nato that they see the expansion as a very serious threat to national security of Russia. So by the expansion new nato members felt more secure while Russia for every new member felt the national security of Russia was more and more threaten. In that light. Not so hard so see that if you increase countries feeling of security in this way it can go very wrong if the same expansion are making a superpower feel its national security more and more threaten by every new Nato member that this development one day can lead to conflicts and a war like the one ongoing in Ukraine..
With other words. One superpower, USA, leading a military alliance which take in more and more member close and along another superpower, Russia, borders. Not hard to understand that an expansion of one superpowers military close another superpower could and lead to conflicts and in this case the Ukraine war. Just think how USA would have reacted if a russian military alliance in alternative universe would have started talking about accepting Mexico and Canada as members..US would in this alternative universe for sure had invaded these countries as Russia invaded Ukraine for the same reason to stop an existential threat to national security to arise..
2. US coup in Ukraine. USA plan and paid for the coup which removed the democratical elected and russian friendly Ukraine government not so many years before the ongoing war of today in Ukraine. And replaced that goverment with a Western/US friendly government. One of many US suppported coup around the world during the last 100 years to get a US friendly government in another country.
3. Nato governments/In Europe and USA participated in peace negotiations in Minsk and Istanbul with Ukraine and West/Nato just fooling Russia to have time to send a lot of Arms to Ukraine och upgrade its military capability.Both the present president in France and the former leader of Germany have admit they just fooled the Russians who thought the negotiations was real with Ukraine and the West. Talk about a big provokation.
4. Ukraines governments sending representatives to Donbas to try to stop etnic russians from using russian language and living according to russian culture. This treatment lead to an uprising in Donbas by ethnic russians towards the Ukraine government whoch became a civil war which was ongoing many years before the present big war between Russia and Ukraine today in Ukraine. That the west/nato/us with close ties to Ukraine government did say to their alies in Kiev to stop this treatment was for sure very provoking for Russia. If west had said no the Ukraine goverment would have stopped the bad treatment of ethnic russia as the west otherwise could have stopped the big arm shipments to Ukraine. But the west did nothing.
5. The war declaration towards Russia by Nato representatives for Ukraine. Here it comes. NATO started to talk on western media about the possibility of Nato membership for Ukraine knowing very well that Russia saw Ukraine Nato membership as an existential threat to the National security of Russia. One thing Russia said to Nato representatives many times that they would never accept to be created. Nato knew with others words that a war in Ukraine soon would follow if they started to talk about Nato membership of Ukraine.. And started to talk anyway knowing ver well what would happen. I guess Nato/US wanted the war and the sanction which were a chances for them to turn the Russian public against Putin with big economical problems in Russia as a result of the war as it in best case for Nato, as nato hoped for, it would have resulted in the fall of Putins goverment and a west friendly government taking over the power of Russia. But it did not happen. Horrible that the Ukraine people had to suffer and die and get their country destroyed for this global power play move by Nato/US against Russia.
..........................
If Nato had not expanded in the east and western governments had not started to talk about Nato membership of Ukraine and in that way respected Russia national security concerns we would not have the war in Ukraine. And if Biden had said to Putin which called Biden a couple of times during the days before the war that Ukraine would never be Nato member we would never have the ongoing war in Ukraine today.. But Biden did not care about national security concerns of Russian. Biden only care about US national security concerns = created the Ukraine war.
.....so saying the war was unprovoked is truly the greatest propaganda line of Nato/Ukraine in Western media of today.....

@@yaser62412 In 2014, the RAND Corporation analyzed ISIL's funding sources by studying Bharatpur documents - personal letters, expense reports and membership rosters - captured from the Islamic State of Iraq (which included al-Qaeda in Iraq) by US forces in Iraq between 2005 and 2010.[3] It found that over this period, outside donations amounted to only 5% of the group's operating budgets, with the rest being raised within Iraq.[3] In the time period studied, cells were required to send up to 20% of the income generated from kidnapping, extortion rackets and other activities to the next level of the group's leadership. Higher-ranking commanders would then redistribute the funds to provincial or local cells which were in difficulties or which needed money to conduct attacks.[3] The records show that the Islamic State of Iraq depended on members from Mosul for cash, which the leadership used to provide additional funds to struggling militants in Diyala, Salahuddin and Baghdad.[3]
In mid-2014, the Iraqi National Intelligence Service obtained information from an ISIL operative which revealed that the organisation had assets worth US$2 billion,[4] making it the richest jihadist group in the world.[5] About three-quarters of this sum is said to be represented by assets seized after the group captured Mosul in June 2014; this includes possibly up to US$429 million looted from Mosul's central bank, along with additional millions and a large quantity of gold bullion stolen from a number of other banks in Mosul.[6][7] However, doubt was later cast on whether ISIL was able to retrieve anywhere near that sum from the central bank,[8] and even on whether the bank robberies had actually occurred.[9]
According to a 2015 study by the Financial Action Task Force, ISIL's five primary sources of revenue are as follows (listed in order of significance):
proceeds from the occupation of territory (including control of banks, oil and gas reservoirs, taxation (including zakat), extortion, and theft of economic assets)
taxation of the non Muslim population (jizya)[10]
kidnapping for ransom[11]
donations by or through non-profit organizations
material support provided by foreign fighters
fundraising through modern communication networks[12]
Another 2015 analysis also contends that ISIL's financial strength is in a large part due to "fanatical spending discipline".[13]
The United States Department of State's Rewards for Justice offers US$5 million for information leading to the disruption of the sale and/or trade of oil and antiquities by ISIS.[14]

Every place with mass gatherings of people should be guarded in Russia by law. And there were plenty of armed policemen and special services around. They just didn't act for hour and a half for some weird reason letting terrorists do whatever they want.
They are guarded by law. Just like everything else, Russia lacks proper security which allows these things to happen.
And then be called a police state by the west? Because you absolutely 1000% know that would be the immediate response
"They just didn't do anything for an hour..."
Man that sounds strikingly similar to some relatively recent school shootings in the States. Like Parkland, FL. The cops literally waited outside the school, while the shooter was getting his fill.

CIA mocking bird names his channel preston stewart say what? IS was created by Obama and Clintons Neo cons, cheney bush. This attack on Russia was obviously an amrican backed IS proxy terror attack and MOST LIKELY trained and funded by us. You think we care about killing civilians to propel our own agenda? weve been doing it since WW2 , Vietnam , 9/11 , gaza today. you name it
Don’t hold back Mr. Stewart, say what you think. 👍
Did he say the maldives are plotted against as well?
It’s raining bots today!
Legit arguments. Beyond legit.
Decades of anti-interventionist positions, anger and frustration with our war/foreign policy and many other things... but the current situation has shifted my perspective to some extent, or broadened it. The constant blaming of the US and the "West", the "2 minutes of hate" on loop, has reached the point of absurdity. With each passing day the choices clarify. And I have done due diligence, spent a lot of time and effort working to understand the other "side" perspectives.
I could go on but this is too much for a YT comment. Hopefully the gist comes across.
Some humor embedded in a very serious morbid topic of terrorism goes down well, Ha Ha; their "terrorist identification cards!"
The Western Roman Empire/Eastern Roman Empire situation is much like this, the encroaches of invaders had to be met by both Empires or they would suffer in the long run... When they weaponized something that opposed them both, the Empire fell with Alaric.
We have to stand together or these attacks will only become more numerous and deadly.
I think it's a lot more frustrating for other countries knowing that IS was originally created by the ClA....🤔🤔😒
4.2 percenter here - shout out to my girlz!
BTW I got my mom into the viewer base as well, she’s a foreign-policy wonk.

Well maybe not so neutral this time, but we can understand that.)
IS " if you continue to hurt our people" lol
That made me laugh too, because I imagined Putin asking them if they'd stop their attacks if he stops hurting their people. I imagined IS taking a pause in amazed bewilderment and then saying No. Not sure if they would giggle or not.
They should just be honest and say they'll continue to attack. They know damn well they don't care about no one
Thank you Preston for the video. Leave a link to you video on the history of Islamic State.
I live in Russia and I love Russia, Im a patriot. But the way we are handling this is the worst way possible. Im even pro war in Ukraine but there is no way Ukraine would support this because if the truth came out then their international support would be greatly reduced. The only thing I am happy with about how we are handling this is how our lets call it conversations with the attackers has went
Please do us all a favour and take a long walk off a short pier. Off you go loser.
You’re pro war in Ukraine? You’re proud of that? Everything you have done in a country that was not threatening you whatsoever… What did the people of Ukraine do to deserve the invasion? You don’t like having freedom? A real democracy? Has it ever occurred to you that the FSB allowed this terrorist attack to happen? There was no response from the authorities? For 90 minutes??? The attackers were allowed to leave the scene? What is going through your mind? I can’t imagine what you’re thinking as a patriotic Russian.
@@madmattdigs9518 Ukraine has not fulfilled its obligations under the peace treaty. This means that either Ukraine wanted this war, or its owners wanted it. Ukraine has killed thousands of ethnic Russians. Zelensky announced his intentions to manufacture nuclear weapons, and even representatives of those countries that signed the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons applauded Zelensky. How would the United States react if, for example, Mexico killed thousands of U.S. citizens, China and Russia built military bases in Mexico and prepared the Mexican army for war with the United States, China and Russia conducted exercises in Mexico, practiced strikes against the United States with the help of strategic bombers?
As for the terrorists in Crocus, they left the crime scene after 14 minutes, even before the appearance of law enforcement agencies. anything can come into your head, especially when these thoughts are suggested to you.

Question is: who created IS ?
Did the US provide all the information about the concert attack? They told us about the Boston bombers giving specific names.
No foreign intelligence agency would go public without first informing the host country. USA and Russia still have diplomatic relations. So we know the Russians were informed by the US intelligence before they went public. Also, FSB is a very capable intelligence service and probably knew as much as the US intelligence. All in Russia they (government security) watch large gatherings constantly to prevent the formations of opposition and demonstrations that might lead to something bigger. So it is very strange there were no police or other intelligence supervision during a large public gathering such as a big concert. If nothing else, at least a small team of even two undercover police or some kind of supervision/observation is always present. The Kremlin needs to mobilize more men for their war with Ukraine/Europe. No doubt they let this attack happen and hope to use the anger naturally injected into the public to motivate people to sign up and also accept mobilization. This is why they try the hardest to connect this to Ukraine and the west, because they realize it will take many years and many bodies to fight their way into more land. Kremlin is purely interested in expanding Russia back into the Soviet Union territory. Even if it means allowing one of their enemies kill hundreds of their own. Russia is a sick sick country.
They knew and had the manpower. Putin allowed it to get more troops into Ukraine.
Now who's the conspiracy theorist
@@dax354able you do know that there is a policestation 400 meters away and special forces are lodged 12 minutes away by car.
Yet it still took 90 minutes before anyone arrived on site
@@tuehojbjerg969 not sure if its true or not.. cannot confirm it. i just state an irony. Usually these kind of conspiracy theory stated by anti west side. And the pro west strongly deny and call the other side a disinformation theorist
Are you proposing a 9/11 type conspiracy for this Moscow attack?
I comment from Africa. I am a very old soldier from the 80-90's. Fought for West. Unfortunately, you have no idea how the US, particularly, and the West, are seen as the enemy and not for freedom. All your sensible talk will not change the view of the actions in Libya, Iraq, Syria and other. You seen as bullies.
I'm American and agree with you that OUR US government is definitely the bully around the world. So-called "rules based order" where the US makes the rules and DEMANDS everyone else obeys them.
World-wide level of power play has its own consequences
Libya should not be on the list. The Arab League requested a no fly zone and the UN tasked NATO to enforce it because Europe has assets already in the Mediterranean.
Yes I remember that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was very hawkish on Gaddafi but at one point people have to stop asking for intervention and then get mad when things don't go their way.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD The UN has no tasking authority over NATO. The French were in the lead at first until it was clear they couldn't run a Coalition air offensive themselves.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD i study this region for a living and one of the most frustrating things for me, especially as someone who generally prefers "actions and consequences" is that this region is very emotional and will think with their heart instead of their head a lot of the time, which is why we keep hearing platitudes like these. Facts arent as important as the stories that people tell each other, or the version of good/bad, and the West is already dispositioned to be the "bad guys" because the US now inherited the reputation that Europe used to have as colonialists, and Islamists in particular saw the liberal world order beginning from the 1950s as a crucial threat to their world view, as well as the generally pro-marxist/USSR-aligned nationalisms that got baked into the countries' modern cultures starting with Egypt in the 1950s and the Suez Crisis -- so now we are in this mess where Russia can bomb Syria but be seen as the good guy because they are not the colonial white people associated with Europe and later America, and the region has historically favorable views of Russia.
A lot of countries in MENA aren't particularly fond of the GCC either (on a "street level") and view them as either corrupt, wahhabi, or US-allied.
Gaddafi himself, and even one of the arab nationalist warlords that's currently fighting against the UN appointed government in Libya today is of the revolutionary arab nationalist generation of the 1960s-1970s
For the GLA!
"Our courage will be seen by all!"
Good job Preston. Don’t lose your passion for the truth. I relate very much with your passion. The truth, in my experience, rarely hides in one place, rather it may have many pieces that need to be put together like a puzzle. More times than not the truth will remain elusive. It is usually at those times, the majority will believe what they’re told, which becomes the prevailing “truth”; actions going forward will then be based on this “truth” we’ve all settled on.
I’m a little jaded at this point, being sixty years old, I’ve seen many things repeat themselves over the years. I find it very frustrating indeed. Wow, long comment; I do so enjoy listening to my own writing. 🙂
Anyway keep up the good work Preston!
bs , its clear who attacked russia
Yeah the ones both the US and Iran pointed to.
It seems at least possible that this attack was allowed to happen because it has been useful to capitalize on the fear.
They didn’t catch all of them and they didn’t know where or when they would’ve striked
פוטין לא יכול גם להיות באוקראינה וגם מלחמה נגד הטרור האיסלמי.
I mean, maybe? The Syria contingent is still out there and it’s not like the FSB are completely dedicated to any one thing, no intelligence group is dedicated to one thing
Putin has more feet than shoes to put them into.

@@187Rajahthey could have finished this war months ago if the world wasn't interfering so much.
It's frustrating but I somewhat understand it. The Ukraine war dwarfs almost anything that has taken place in the last 50 years. While internal civilian attacks affect Russian morale more than military casualties, it's still a drop in the bucket compared to what their experiencing on the front line. Even though they are way closer to us as a culture than IS, we are still considered are far greater and more dangerous enemy. They would probably take a 100 more terrorist attacks if it meant that the west was getting destabilized by similar attacks and they could push anti Ukrainian propaganda. Obviously not how terrorist attacks work so they wouldn't allow that but still.
I don't know if I necessarily agree they are MUCH closer to us than Isis. Isis is clearly barbaric, but the Russians aren't as far off as you think.
