Just a point to note re this article, you name Khamenei as one of the three instigators without explaining why. The article actually suggests that Obama should be one of the three.

I see you are now using the name ISIS, which I think makes perfect sense.

I added a sentence saying that Nasrallah was acting under orders from
Iran.

If someone takes an action that causes a bad result, it's easy to
blame that person for the bad result. But if someone takes no action
and a bad result occurs, it's a lot more complicated to blame that
person for not preventing the bad result. So I think that Obama's
inaction made the situation worse, but it's really impossible to say
whether taking action would have prevented the emergence of ISIS, and
frankly I don't think it would have.

I'm really glad you wrote this article. So much of the alternative media, elements of the foreign press (especially Russian ) and shyster gold floggers have perpetuated the myth that the CIA created ISIS. The Internet trolls have been working overtime flooding the net with their lies and conspiracy theories. It makes me sick to my stomach.

The Kremlin trolls and alternative media (which has a surprisingly strong effect on people) have also pushed the pro-Russian line on the Ukraine.

Thank you for supporting the truth, John. I have lived in many of these countries and witnessed first hand how the Russians operate. When people praise Putin, I want to vomit.
