Boris Johnson’s correct choice on Syria – it is necessary to fight on the side of Assad & Russia against ISIS

7th December 2015 Socialist Action 0

Boris Johnson supported the catastrophic invasion of Iraq, launched by Bush and Blair, which is the cause of the present chaos in the Middle East and the rise of global terrorism it has resulted in. Like the bombing of Libya the Iraq invasion turned previously powerless jihadist terrorists into a powerful force. Above all the people of the Middle East but also those in Paris, San Bernardino, and Mali are paying for that with their lives.

Even before the recent horrific terrorist attacks in Paris and Mali, the purpose of the U.S. “war on terror” as stated in words was to fight “Islamic terrorism” and “jihadism.” But facts show each time the U.S. and its allies have launched a war in the Middle East it has been followed by a great strengthening and not weakening of “jihadism.” Taking events in order:
