In recent months, American politicians would present us with a constant barrage of statements about various ISIS strongholds in Iraq and Syria falling in their hands one after another. One can recall that last year the so-called Islamic State lost both of its capitals: the Iraqi Mosul, and the Syrian al-Raqqah. In fact the above mentioned radical Wahhabi formation has already lost all of its territorial claims in the Levant. The speed with which ISIS has been surrendering its territories may lead a casual observer to the conclusion that its militants have simply vanished in the dim morning mist.
It’s worth mentioning that as early as 2016, ISIS warlords started arriving to Libya from both Syria and Iraq to assess the dire situation that situation in this country that remained virtually unchanged since the toppling of Muammar Qadaffi. The rationale behind their decision to move the better part of their assets to Libya is rather simple, since there’s been no real government to speak for seven years in a row now, while Western media sources made no secret about the fact that ISIS may end up butchering people in Libya as long as they’re pushed out of Iraq and Syria.
At the same time, there’s been a quite a few of reports about operations that ISIS has been carrying out in Afghanistan with a rapidly increasing frequency recently. At the same time, those who occupy highest position in the interntal hierarcy of this terrorist ogranization would demand their sympathizers to get their enemies enagaged in asymmetric warfare in case ISIS should suffer a crushing defefeat.
But first those sympathizers are supposed to reach distant areas of booth Syria and Iraq and start forming partisan detachments there.
Additionally, those radical militants, at least some of them, were supposed to be get lost among the local population in order to create so-called sleeping cells in order to resume hostilities when “the time is right”.
Sure, some of them could make an attempt to try they luck elsewhere – in Central Asia or Europe by take the disguise of poor refugees, as Europea has been infiltrated by radical sleeping cells a long time ago, so those cells would be in a position to provide support to those “newcomers” in order to late used them in the stagging of terrorist attacks.
We have also heard that many of the Daiesh militants in Iraq and Syria died in battle or were executed, that some surrendered, some were taken prisoner. But what is disturbing is that there’s no exact figures whatsoever. The only thing one can state with certainty is that the absolute majory of them have managed to escape retribution. So, where are they now?
Mind you that four years ago the CIA would announce that there’s over 50 thousand ISIS militants operating in Iraq and Syria. Other governmental bodies would assure that this figure is twice as high. AS for local Kurdish leader, they were stating that there was well over 200,000 ISIS militants in the Levant.
According to the report issued by the Iraqi military in August 2017, there was at least 30,000 foreign mercenaries fighting alongside ISIS in Iraq, including eight thousand Europeans and six thousand Tunisians. Allegedly, some 28 thousand were killed.
In December 2016, the Pentagon would announce the figure of 50 thousand ISIS fighters killed in Iraq and Syria over the two years period. Next year it would announce than 40,000 some foreign mercenaries neutralized in Syria alone.
Of course, none of the above mentioned figures can be verified, however it is clear that the casualties that ISIS allegedly suffered are greatly exaggerated are the figures. After all, without those nonexistent deceased militants being counted in tens of thousands Washington would have no justification for its ongoing presence in Iraq and Syria, as its contribution to the actual fight against terrorism is miniscule. areas where the US Army conducts military operations. Or why would nobody be able to locate thousands upon thousands of graves of ISIS militants, let alone filming them?
In addition, we must not forget that thousands of people who were captured by ISIS militants and they are still reported as missing. Their relatives are trying to establish their fate, since they must have returned home once this terrorist formation got kicked out all the major cities of Iraq and Syria. Therefore, even if some graves are to be found in the cities that were occupied in Syria and Iraq, it is most likely that those would be the graves of the hostages taken for slave labor by ISIS, since it is unlikely that those militants would try to transport them to other regions of the world as they themselves were threatened with the terrying fate of physical destruction.
The EU Coordinator for Combating Terrorism, Giles de Kerchove announce last August that some 5,000 European militants were trained in Syria and Iraq, and that a third of them returned home. If this statement is true, then you can ask yourself are European officials capable to establish their identity, since it’s clear that less than 1% of those who returned home was immediately arrested upon arrival to their homeland.
It turns out that those militants that were allowed to see another day are now fighting the Syrian armed forces in a bid to destoy their countyr. Somehow American officials are always able to find a common language with terrorists when it suits their interests!
The mystery of “disappearaning” militants as solved as the Syrian SANA national agency reported about yet another “CIA’s top operation”, when its journalists filmed Western miltiary helicopters coming to rescue those militants they were supposed to be fighting. In broad daylight the US-led coaltion helies were evacuating their sworn enemies, which was later confirmed by the British BBC. A month earlier, the British reported that more than 250 field commanders and 3,500 members of their families were evacuated from liberated al-Raqqa to the north of the country by the same US-led coalition. From there, some militants were able to travel across the border to Turkey or disappear by prettending to be local resisdents.
Actually, this is enough to understand the truth about all sorts of pro-Western freedom fighters, the so-called ardent revolutionaries. They claim to fight for the right cause, but when their sponsors are not interested in this game anymore, they are being evacuated by helicopters wearing NATO markings. But the result is always the same: as soon as the sponsor stops financing, the struggle for freedom, dignity and future ceases, and the “fighters” themselves are then getting exposed as terrorists that they have always been.
