The information space of the whole world is shaking every now and then from the “exploits” that ISIS militants demonstrate to the peoples. Their deeds are so cruel and meaningless that it is impossible to remain indifferent. Why do they do it? Who are ISIS militants? Where did they come from to this world? Let's figure it out.
Appearance story
ISIS fighters for many arose “out of nowhere”. All world media started talking about them at once.
They operate in Syria and Iraq. But there are enough of their own radicals. Only specialists understand their subtleties and shades. Believers in the Middle East traditionally take up arms. They defend their views not by democratic rallies, but by force. Militants began to operate in these places during the Iraq war. The state fell apart. It was necessary to protect their families in an elementary way, then to raise money. Following the "color revolution" in Syria. There, too, the people live hot and religious. Many came up with weapons against the secular regime of Assad. But these groups waged a meaningful ideological struggle. They made demands, they directly said what they did not like. ISIS fighters are completely different.
Geographic location
According to experts, these "animals" first appeared in Iraq. They needed a weapon. It was in this country that it turned out to be more than enough. The militants either bought it or took it by force. The Iraqi regular army not only did not resist, but also sided with the bandits. Then they crossed into Syrian territory, not controlled by the government.
The world began to shake with horror, looking at how ISIS fighters burned a man alive in a cage, and their other actions. These people do not have morality in the generally accepted sense. They commit killings for fun or pleasure. In some of their actions it is generally difficult to discern common sense. Especially scary is that they necessarily record their “exploits” on video. The clips immediately get on the net. For example, this year the world had to contemplate the execution by ISIS fighters of citizens of various states. In some actions minor children took part (as killers).
Who becomes an action movie?
It is believed that this “brutal” current was originally formed from people with mental disabilities. They wanted to commit murders, they enjoyed it. Further, local residents began to adjoin them. They were in a difficult situation. Around there is a war, the law is the availability of weapons and the ability to use them.
The other simply does not exist. There is no one to contact for help. You have to choose: either join the killers, or die at their hands. The first was preferable to many. In addition, ISIS fighters receive money for their service. There is an opportunity to protect their families from starvation. There is also the recruitment of foreigners through the network. But this is not the gangs themselves. Semi-literate warriors simply cannot do such work.
Where is the money from?
It is clear that considerable funds are required to conduct military operations. According to experts, the militants receive them from wealthy Arabs, who live mainly in Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Only these donations are not the only source of funds for the militants. They regularly rob settlements. According to some reports, they are engaged in racketeering, stealing people for ransom. In addition, these animals (sorry for the term) sell people. Mostly they capture Christians and foreigners. Then they demand a ransom. If they don’t get it, then they don’t stand on ceremony for long. Victims do not just die, but become protagonists of the next awesome video. The news of the looting of Mosul, the richest Iraqi city, dispelled many myths about the temporality of this formation. For half a billion that they have got, you can wage a war for a long time. The surrounding states from time to time make attempts to cope with these animals. However, the militants are very mobile. They are difficult to draw into an open battle. They attack themselves where no one is waiting. Rob, kill and disappear. Air bombing does not cause them tangible damage, only lead to new human casualties.
Someone’s experiment?
Politicians constantly argue about what kind of power it is, why and who needs it. The shooting by ISIS fighters of the next victims becomes a topic of discussion at the highest level. They are spoken about in the UN Security Council; the US president considers them one of the main threats. Considering that it was the States that supplied the guns to the militants, and the allies of this country also finance them, all this seems strange to many experts. Theories are advanced that the United States itself supports this force. They need it to create chaos in the Middle East. Others go further. They see ISIS as part of a plan to get the United States out of the global crisis. America needs a big war. So she creates it in the most explosive corners of the world. And the Middle East has always been and remains a “risk zone”.
