The interesting and confusing thing to me is why other countries don't stand up to stop ISIS and I think I know the answer. Why doesn't other countries do anything either? What is the deal with other countries standing back and letting ISIS do terrible things?
I think I have finally learned the answer but have to begin with US first to explain.
The biggest mistake that US administration made was not addressing ISIS right at the beginning when they were rather small and started to go into IRAQ.
Our government leader and policy was the worst decision to not have boots on the ground and not address ISIS when ISIS was rather small. By ignoring them and not addressing them, all it has done is allowed that group to gain followers and get larger and larger and larger.
Now ISIS is a large group doing terrible acts in multiple countries.
If they would have been addressed when they were small, it was much easier to deal with them.
I do understand our country was war-weary but sometimes you have to deal with things even when you don't want to. The good news is things will change in coming years because of term limits. We will have changes and we just hope whoever is in charge next can do better.
Things are starting to change finally now too. A little late but it is changing. The drone strike of ISIS head chopper offer just happened yesterday which is good news. And we hear rumors of finally getting boots on the ground.
But back to the Worldwide issue of other countries sitting back and doing nothing either?
I wondered why other countries didnt try to help and stop ISIS as it was happening too?
Why?
Well I think the answer is fairly simple but it is a multiple answer. Mainly 2 reasons.
1-Biggest Reason = They are not as powerful as they try to show to other countries and really do not have the military might that they portray. So they are afraid if they try to tackle ISIS and lose then it will show to the world that they are weak. So they do nothing so they can keep fake image of being strong.
2-Some select countries have cultural ties to people in ISIS. Lets not fool ourselves. Some countries have people in their country that sympathise with the ideologies of ISIS.
They reject only the major ISIS atrocities but they have some of their own people that agree with some of the religious aspsects and so they don't want to go against them because their own people will get mad at their own government. And they want to stay in power so they do nothing.
So that brings us back to the US. The US ends up stepping up the plate on these situations like ISIS because they are the only country willing and able to stand up to the atrocities and make the sacrifices necessary to stop them.
As much bad mouthing we see from other countries about the US they need to look in the mirror and see if they have ever had the guts to stand up to groups like Al-Queda and ISIS. So the next time they try to bad mouth America they need to have second thoughts until they can show that they are willing to do 1/2 as much as America has done to try to help world peace.
The tide is slowly changing about ISIS and I think they will be opposed in a multi national way. Russia is finally stepping up and US is also increasing its push to stop them.
It would be nice to see other countries step up more too.
With the Syria refugee crisis, a lot of other countries should want to step up to the plate and help out in any way they can. We have a common enemy which needs defeated.
It could be done quicker and cleaner if everyone does their part and the world works together.
It can even help world peace.
WORLD PEACE is the goal and getting rid of groups like ISIS goes a long way toward that.
