SUMMARY

Europe – America supported creation and strengthening of ”the Islamic State” in the east, years ago also Europe-America had supported and strengthened the fascist state in the west… ”The Islamic State armed groups” were created with the immediate support and participation of America. This was aimed at overthrowing the post-Soviet regimes, approaching Russia’s borders and undermining Russia, but suddenly ”the Islamic State’ turned into the worst enemy of humanity. Russia interfered and successfully restrained this disaster.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation that the US is protecting or working together with ISIS/Daesh. The US is fighting against Daesh together with the Global Coalition against Daesh. The US MoD outlines the latest progress on their website.

Furthermore, a recent report by the Conflict Armament Research has found that up to 90 per cent of weapons seized from ISIS in Iraq and Syria originated from China, Russia and Eastern Europe. US arms accounted for just 1.8 per cent of items recovered between 2014 and 2017 while 43.5 per cent of weapons originated in China, according to analysts.
