Ever since the Russians began dropping real bombs on real ISIS targets in Syria, the United States and NATO have been forced to engage in a two-sided propaganda campaign that swears opposition to ISIS while simultaneously doing everything it can to facilitate and protect ISIS forces on the ground. It has also found itself in the bizarre position of trying to facilitate the death squad army while, at the same time, attempting to play catch-up to the Russians in at least the appearance of bombing ISIS.
Thus, when Russian forces truly hit at one of the sources of ISIS funding – the captured oil being shipped from Syria and Iraq to Turkey where it is purchased by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s son, Bilal – the United States must then engage in its own faux bombing campaign against ISIS oil trucks.
Yet, instead of actually bombing the trucks – drivers and all – and putting them out of commission permanently, the U.S. bombing campaign takes the form of a laughable formality that involves a 45-minute warning to the oil convoys that a U.S. bombing campaign is about to take place. The warning involves an airdrop of leaflets to the tankers that read “Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life.”
The justification is that the drivers of the tankers might be civilians and not actual ISIS members.
Of course, there is no mention of the fact that, in any other context, an individual who renders “material support to terrorists,” particularly in the form of driving tankers of stolen oil in a war zone that will be used to fund the terrorist organization would killed without question under that designation.
There is also no mention as to why these “potential civilians” received ample warning but true civilians receive no such courtesy. It is truly a pity that the U.S. did not drop leaflets to the million Iraqis it has killed over the last decade or the thousands of Libyans that died at the hands of NATO.
Still, one need only look at the numbers of destroyed oil tankers racked up by the U.S. in comparison to the Russians to see a distinct difference. The United States, according to Col. Steve Warren, has taken out only 116 tankers since the bombing campaign began while the Russians have eliminated over 1,000 in five days. Remember, until the Russians began bombing the oil tankers, the United States had yet to launch an attack on them.
Even more laughable was the response that came when the U.S. military was questioned as to why they were unable to destroy more trucks than they did after such a highly publicized strategy. According to Army Co. Steve Warren, the American jets simply “ran out of ammo” in the process. “The goal was to destroy every truck there. They ran out of ammunition before they were able to do that. But the desire was to destroy every single truck there,” he said.
Even with the new attempt to be seen as truly aimed at fighting ISIS in the eyes of the gullible American public, the U.S. has been forced to use videos and photographs from Russian bombings to purvey across the mainstream media due to the fact that American strikes on ISIS oil trucks are so rare.
The pathetic propaganda fail by the United States military now stands as yet one more example of how the United States is not at all interested in defeating ISIS but instead on defeating Assad, Iran, and the Russians.
Indeed, American foreign policy propaganda would be greeted as much needed comic relief if it were not so tragic and potentially dangerous to the rest of the world.

Aiding and abetting the terrorist enemy. Treason in the first degree.
Let us impeach Obama and prosecute Erdogan.
Many American’s cheer Russia destroying ISIS…..Obama, not so much
Washington is sending troupes into Syria. They will be bombed and Russia will be blamed to cause the next false flag!
&Unfortunately the WW III
How can we fight the enemy when obama is giving them warnings. obama is defeating us not the enemy. When is congress do the right thing for the american people.
Don’t say The United States- THIS IS OBAMINATIONS’ DOING.
Kerry
is misguided if not delusional because there is no intent for US destroy ISIS. The solution to the ISIS problem only
will take only 2 weeks without removing Assad, after the deployment of
ground troops to encircle ISIS from all flanks without the assistance of
Al Nursa, the Turkmen and the other terrorist groups supported by
Turkey. Quartar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, if indeed they exist
different than ISIS collaborators disguised as moderates (yes, now Al
Queda of Syria are moderates. What convenient is for Kerry!). The
ground troops are not going to be only Arabs and Syrians, because the
Kurds and the Iranians are not Arabs, as are not the Turks, either. It
is needed to create or expand refugees camps at all borders of the ISIS
controlled territories (Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey) before
starting the campaign, with the main refugee camp at the Turkish border
with Syria — ten miles wide– under the supervision of Germany and
China on behalf of the UNO. Then spread by air leaflets asking the civil
population to leave the area immediately –no warning to the truck drivers– inviting them to the refugees
camps, screening all military age men going into the refugee camps and
preventively place them under arrest assuming that they are ISIS
operatives. No need for torture. No weapons allowed.Stop all commerce at
the borders. Create a demilitarized zone at the Turkish-Syrian border
and interrupt all commerce. Launch an initial limited EMP weapon attack
(the Russians know how) to fry the circuits of all ISIS electronics and
destroy all electronic driven infrastructure, even for water
distribution. Then be ready to close the circle. The Russians and the
Syrian armies at the west. Hezbollah at the south. The Shia Iranians and
Iraquis at the east and the Kurds at the north with the support of
ground troops from whoever wants to assist them but no Turks allowed
because they do not get along and risk exists that will be stabbed the
Kurds in the back by the Turks. The Jordanian army should be deployed at
its border with Syria ready to kill escaping ISIS soldiers, unless they
want to be part of the ground troops for the invasion. Close the circle
and annihilate ISIS at the ground and from the air (if need). No more
ISIS as state and send the Syrian refugees back from the refugee camps,
from Europe, and from US. Let US solve the problem created in Libya and
Nigeria (Boko Haram) by Clinton and Obama before interfering in Syria
politics again. If is proven, actually confirmed, that Turkey is ISIS
take it out from NATO, block its entry to the EU and prosecute Erdogan
for war crimes and crimes against the humanity, including, but not
limited, the downing of the Russian fighter and the civilian jet downed
in Egipt. Erdogan must be accountable for ISIS. Spear his head, but not
his neck.
Good plan, then go after Saudi Arabia (ISIS incubator). Also deport all political Islamists from the USA. Then impeach Obama for treason. Godspeed to patriots.
Zer0bama’s $chlock und EU ! The definition of ISIS : US (CIA) and the rest of the burning Bush PNAC Attackers (especially, Billary)!!
Obama just HAS to be impeached!
