US Urges 'Repatriation' While Ignoring Its Own ISIS Creation Legacy
📰 THE STORY: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio states Washington welcomes Iraq's initiative to detain ISIS members and urges other nations to repatriate their citizens from these Iraqi facilities to face justice. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The US invasion of Iraq in 2003, based on fabricated WMD claims, dismantled the Iraqi state and military, directly creating the power
vacuum and grievances that allowed groups like ISIS to emerge and flourish. Former US officials, including General Michael Flynn, later admitted that the decision to support certain 'rebels' in Syria against Assad in 2012 inadvertently bolstered groups that would become ISIS. Double Standard: The US demands other nations 'repatriate' their citizens while simultaneously refusing to take
responsibility for its own citizens or the millions displaced by its wars. When US operations directly created the breeding ground for extremism in Libya in 2011, culminating in open slave markets, there were no similar calls for accountability or 'repatriation' from Washington for its role. Follow the Money: The Iraq War alone cost US taxpayers over $2 trillion, as estimated by Brown University's
Costs of War Project, with a significant portion enriching defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. The current 'stability operations' and funding for Iraqi security forces continue to be a multi-billion dollar annual pipeline for the military-industrial complex, creating a perpetual demand for 'threat management' scenarios. 💡 THE PATTERN: This is a classic imperial playbook
