Blinken and his fellow NATO warmongers think they will be good for Syria, but the track record of this extremist Muslim Cult shows that destruction, enslavement and atrocities are all they do.

The site was leveled by ISIS in 2015 but retaken by Iraqi forces in December 2016. Now, the ancient city lies in ruins.
NIMRUD, Iraq — When ISIS swept into Mosul [in 2014], Leila Salih begged the militants not to destroy the Mosul Museum, where she worked, or the archaeological site at Nimrud, which she helped oversee, just south of the city.
“I told them we would destroy the graves ourselves if they just left the buildings standing,” she told NBC News. “I begged them to save Iraq’s history.”
But the pleas fell on deaf ears. Several videos released by the militants last year show ISIS fighters using sledgehammers, power tools, and bulldozers to demolish priceless sculptures and stone carvings. What they didn’t destroy with explosives they tore down by hand.
Built three thousand years ago — and forgotten for centuries — the ancient city of Nimrud was the second capital of the Assyrian empire, which at its height extended to modern-day Egypt, Turkey and Iran.
Archaeologists first began excavating Nimrud in the 1840s, finding the remnants of ancient palaces, sculptures, and cuneiform tablets — some of the earliest examples of writing known to man. The UNESCO heritage site was considered one of the most important archaeological finds in the world. Most famous for its colossal Lamassu sculptures — hulking winged mythical beasts with a human face, the body of a bull and the wings of an eagle.

Wikipedia, ‘Destruction of cultural heritage by the Islamic State’:
‘Since 2014, the Islamic State has destroyed cultural heritage on an unprecedented scale, primarily in Iraq and Syria, but also in Libya. These attacks and demolitions targeted a variety of ancient and medieval artifacts, museums, libraries, and places of worship, among other sites of importance to human history.’ Presumably on instruction.
There is no doubt that ISIS (along with all the clones) is a NATO/Israeli asset. The US provided cover for them all these years, to ensure they would not be wiped out. Presumably General Soleimani’s actions against ISIS were what provoked his murder. The US and Israel provided ISIS with 2 air forces. https://syrianews.cc/syria-al-qaeda-now-two-air-forces/
There is video footage of Netanyahu visiting al Qaeda in the Israeli medical centres on the Golan. A former Israeli Minister of Defence announced that ISIS had apologised for attacking Israeli troops. You’d think Israel would be more discrete but they know the msm isn’t going to report these things – the idea is to get the message across to their own troop.
ISIS has never attacked US troops or Israel, and have recently announced that their regime presents no threat to Israel.
The Leftist MSM rarely report atrocities committed by the troops of the 4th Reich a.k.a. NATO of which Israel is a de facto member. They will eagerly report atrocities, or alleged atrocities by the enemies of the Empire. The way things are.
