Global Unrest: ISIS Claims, Media Tactics, and Personal Battles

This year started bloody with the carnage in Iran, which was organised at the commemoration of General Qasem Soleimani, where about 100 civilians were killed. The blame fell on ISIS, which I had not heard of for a long time, but those of us who comment on geopolitics agree that it was in fact the US’ retaliation against Iran for their backing of the Houthi Red Sea blockade. Last night, ISIS was also the organisation made to take responsibility for another massacre on the outskirts of Moscow, where several hundred concertgoers were injured and at least 60 were dead. ISIS is a Muslim terrorist organisation, sponsored and used in the last decade by the CIA in various conflicts in the Arab world, so no one doubts that the attack was ordered from the US; the only uncertainty is who exactly the terrorists were. The Americans stepped crookedly anyway; not even an hour had passed since the attack, and, with no concrete data about the attackers and weaponry, the White House security adviser, John Kirby, was informing the world that under no circumstances could we talk about Ukraine’s involvement in the carnage. The statement issued by the US embassy in Moscow two weeks ago, warning its Americans in Russia not to participate in public events such as last night’s concert, also gained relevance last night. It could be a fluke, but it could also be much more than that! Why would the US order such attacks, precisely in Moscow and on civilians—attacks that suggest desperation?! Because it is about desperation, the Americans made a mistake with the war in Ukraine, already de facto lost; they imposed economic sanctions on Russia in a wrong, uneffective way; and now Putin can boast of consolidated economic growth; Trump is dominating the electoral campaign; and the Deep State is remaining on the playing field with only one political player of the shameful level of Biden.
