I think the title says it all. It is as if the KGB (now known as the FSB?) took the convoluted thinking of a Cold War Era (Putin was a KGB Colonel in East Germany in the 1980s by the way).
IF someone using KGB (or CIA) convoluted thinking (Cold War Style). And they asked the question: "Why don't we get all the terrorists to kill each other?"
What we are witnessing in the Middle East right now is exactly this.
What is the problem with thinking in this way?
The primary problem is you create something 100 times worse than the original problem because you definitely get all the terrorists who are Shiites and Sunnis to all kill each other (as witnessed in Syria and Iraq so far). But, look what you create: "Millions of refugees dead and suffering in various ways" which likely is going to cause 100 times the terrorists in the future from the PTSD they are presently suffering as children today.
So, by getting all the terrorists to kill each other now ONLY creates something 100 times worse in the future for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the rest of the world.
So, Yes, the terrorists Shiite versus Sunni ARE all killing each other and likely will continue to. But, in the future terrorists will only be worse from the PTSD in children now from watching friends and relatives die in horrible horrible ways or tortured themselves or watching their families and friends tortured. So, those who survive will be pathologically crazy and psychotic in unimaginable ways for now.
So, getting terrorists to all kill each other in the middle east is making a future 100 times worse than now for the whole world.
This is why I agree with the Dalai Lama. He says that if non-violence doesn't become the future for the Middle East that 100 new Osama bin Ladens will arise within the next 100 years. I agree completely with him.
War is making a much worse future for Muslims in the middle east than would have been otherwise.
And I directly blame Iran and Russia and Assad for creating this outcome from Arab Spring which could have been a good thing for the Middle East.
From my point of view Putin is exacting revenge on the Sunnis who he blames for the collapse of the Soviet Union that he loved. And he is exacting revenge KGB style which he also loved. And through the refugees he is also exacting revenge on Europe for NATO. So, from my point of view EVERYTHING right now happening in the Middle East is about Putin taking revenge for the collapse of the Soviet Union which is creating another world war similar to World War II in the Middle East and has been now for almost 5 years.
However, he wants to exact revenge primarily on Saudi Arabia right now because they are keeping the price of oil low.
So, things are going to get more interesting than anyone wants them to be. And this likely could continue like this for 5 or 10 years (or as long as Putin remains in power in Russia).
Whereas Europe and the U.S. don't hate the Sunnis. They are more worried about Iran getting nuclear weapons since it is the largest known terrorist exporting state on earth.
