Weapons in Everyone’s Hands… a Quick Recipe for Disaster

The U.S. is relentless: In order to redouble their attempts, all of which are packaged with descriptions of freedom and democracy, U.S. administrations have made changes to their efforts to spread chaos, which is described as innovation, in the region. These seem to be the latest chapters in the story of the U.S. arming everyone, marking the next phase of everyone fighting.

Early in 2005, the U.S. secretary of state under former President George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, disclosed in an interview with The Washington Post the U.S. intention to spread democracy in the Arab world and to begin forming what is known as “the new Middle East” by way of spreading American “creative chaos” in the region. Since then, America hasn’t executed a means to achieve this chaos.

Sometimes, the U.S. funds so-called civil society organizations and holds secret discussions with opposition groups, especially those that have a history of violence and terrorism. This happens before an American administration declares its public support, around 10 years later, and arms terrorists directly on the ground. These efforts allow them to put on a display of chaos or claim to face systems that are fighting these exact terrorists at the same time.

It was no coincidence that the U.S. disclosure coincided with the onset of sending, over the next few days, American-grade weapons to Iraqi tribes in the province of Anbar. This was under the pretext of confronting the Islamic State terrorists through America's preparations for the training of new terrorists in Turkish territory — America calls them the moderate opposition — in order to face the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

And adding more and more guns is the perfect way to bring about stability in a society.
