A Proxy War within a Proxy War: Crazy!

I don't think the world has had to deal with anything this complicated since World War I and World War II.

The first Proxy war is a Cold War renewed between Russia and the U.S. with NATO aligned with the U.S. And passively, (at least at this point except for an economic and Internet war with the western world, China is somewhat aligned with Russia in this). However, at some point I think Russia and China are going to come to blows sometime this century. It is inevitable. But, for now, at least, Russia and China are somewhat passive allies with each other but they really don't trust each other either.

So, the big Proxy war is Russia supporting Assad and causing up to 200,000 Sunni deaths just in Syria in the last few years by so doing this. These Sunni Deaths created ISIL (ISIS) (IS) and the funding ongoing from Sunnis (1 Billion of them) across the middle East all the way to Indonesia.

The second Proxy war is where ISIS comes into the picture. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait (all Sunni majority nations) cannot directly threaten Russia or Iran because of Russia's nuclear weapons.

But, they can fund a crazy terrorist group and now state like ISIL(ISIS) (IS) and get away with this sort of like hiring assassins to do your dirty work and to behead anyone that pisses you off.

Because the U.S. didn't directly get involved in Syria with Weapons and Soldiers until now, Sunnis funded ISIS (ISIL) (IS) to assassinate all Shia Muslims in the area.

But, when they started beheading U.S. and other reporters and westerners, Europe and the U.S. and any part of the world who uses oil but doesn't have it coming up out of the ground there said, "Hey!" We need oil at good prices". So, the U.S. and Europe and anyone else who cares says now, "Hey ISIS. We won't let you kill all minorities in the middle east because you are going to destroy the world economy by cutting off oil.

However, if all the oil was cut off from the middle east (in fact if everyone died in the middle east Russia wouldn't care at all unless they were Russian) (At least this is true of Putin and his friends).

So, in this sense Syria is a Russian Smokescreen to create something like ISIS so they can start taking over countries like Crimea, Ukraine, Estonia and other nations slowly with the Russian Army.

In the meantime since the U.S. sees itself as the world policeman it is wasting it's precious resources containing ISIS (that Russia created on purpose to drain U.S. resources and to keep Assad in power).

So, the real problem for the U.S. here isn't ISIS, it is Russia and China. And unless the U.S. and Europe are focused on this long term threat, the U.S. and Europe will be eventually under Russian or Chinese control.
