The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

Does the US fund ISIS?

[–] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The US has funded and trained ISIS through the CIA since its inception, and is responsible for its creation in the first place.

The US is also directly responsible for the creation of Al Qaeda. Unfortunately another country's citizens are paying the price this time.
