American air strikes on the militants weren&#8217;t successful because, contrary to what the corporate media claimed, the air strikes were <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2015\/12\/us-air-force-pilots-bombing-desert-in-syria-returning-with-ordnance-allegedly-intended-for-isis.html\">targeting empty deserts<\/a><\/span> NOT ISIS.<\/h5>\n<h5>The U.S. war on ISIS, like the &#8220;War on Terror&#8221; itself, was a complete sham. The U.S. was primarily focused on ousting Assad and they failed to do that, largely because of Russia&#8217;s intervention.<\/h5>\n<h5>Yet the Americans haven&#8217;t given up on ousting President Assad, or at least containing him. Despite the fact that with Russian help ISIS has been all but defeated U.S. forces aren&#8217;t about to leave Syria in a hurry.<\/h5>\n<h5>Instead, the U.S. is reportedly building advanced radar systems in an area of northern Syrian controlled by the Syrian affiliate of the Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK).<\/h5>\n<h5>No matter that the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/j\/ct\/rls\/other\/des\/123085.htm\">U.S. State department has also listed<\/a> <\/span>the PKK as a &#8220;terrorist organisation&#8221;, that hasn&#8217;t stopped the U.S. using territory controlled by them to retain a foothold in the region.<\/h5>\n<h5>As with ISIS or al Qaeda or the Taliban, the U.S. is ready to cooperate with terrorists and even assist them if it suits its purposes. Indeed the two often seem to work hand-in-glove. So if you see a &#8220;terror threat&#8221; anywhere in the world expect to see U.S. influence, either in opposition or support, not far behind.
