ISIS Crisis Discussion
The facts:
- Al-Qaeda denounced ISIS, meaning they're the extremest of the extremists. Also, it could be a lie and it might be in Al-Qaeda's best interest to make up beef with ISIS because they're working together
- They kidnap boys and show them videos of beheadings and attempt to brainwash them & radicalize them.
- They've looted over $2 billion dollars ( the equivalent of, not actual US dollars ), meaning they could purchase a ton of weaponry/vehicles and other resources, essentially funding themselves if they strategically pick their fights and loot other countries
- Some of their members are coming in from other countries, such as Britain, and fighting alongside their muslim brethren
- A lot of ISIS members are actual militants and not just randoms with pea shooters
1) Who do you think is funding them?
2) What's their objective aside from their religious crusade?
3) Should we intervene?
4) Is the U.S. responsible for this?
