DISINFO: The US is the main global sponsor of terrorism

SUMMARY

Western Europe and the US are to blame for increased flows of migrants to the EU. Earlier they destroyed a number of relatively developed countries such as Libya and Syria. The US is the main global sponsor of terrorism, it organised a terrorist war against Syria.

RESPONSE

This message is part of a broader conspiracy theory alleging that the United States or the UK have links to terrorist organisations. There is no evidence that the US has supported radical Islamist terrorist groups in Syria or in Iraq. The US-led military campaign in Syria has been fighting ISIS and Islamic terrorists along with the Global Coalition Against Daesh. See earlier disinformation cases alleging that the United States raised the Islamic State terrorist organisation, that terrorist organisations, the US and UK’s irregular troops, may be used against China, that the US is helping terrorists in Afghanistan, and that the White Helmets were created by Western security bodies and they have connections with terrorists.
