The democrats are the biggest joke in US history, at least the republicans are upfront about it, Netanyahu own the White House to the point the US doesn't even have the balls to tell the Israelis: "HEY YOU ARE GOING TO PAUSE, WE ARE GOING TO DELIVER AID BY TRUCK AND IF EVEN ONE OF OUR SOLDIERS IS EVEN INCONVENIENCE BY YOU YOUR SOLDIERS WE ARE GOING TO CUT EVERY SINGLE DIME TO ISRAEL, WE OWN YOU NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND" Not even the bare minimum. A pause. this is the biggest joke.

Former French colonies are still paying a ‘colonial’ tax
As a result, African countries face financial difficulties, and have to borrow back their own money from the French central bank as debts.

Yup.
Not satire, but she is telling a tall tale, an exceedingly tall one at that.
Any savvy observer of geopolitics should already know this: the ISIS is probably a CIA and Mossad construct.
We had already known this for ages because ISIS is involved in targeting only Islamic countries while always refraining from targeting Israel which is right next door. They are unlike any other Islamic extremist group because the latter always has some element of disdain for Israel. Even far away extremist groups in distant lands, who are only active in their local regions, totally despise Israel. ISIS is that o̶d̶d̶ exception. Also, Israel has never made an intent to target ISIS.
Funny thing is, when ISIS first appeared, a spokesman of al-Qaeda said to them: you are too extreme.
It's complicated. ISIS is supposedly an offshoot of Al-Qaeda. After 9/11 the US captured a lot of Al-Qaeda's leadership and turned a lot of them to their side. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time the US would be working with these people. They did work with Bin Laden in Afghanistan against the Soviets. You can basically think of them as terrorists sponsored by Arabian Peninsula petrostates with ties to the US.
It was just part of the eternal Sunni vs Shia dirty war being exploited by the US to topple the Syrian government which has Shia loyalties.
The trouble the US had in Iraq was quite different. Since that was ISI not ISIS. ISI in some cases was former Saddam loyal Sunni military and police who turned to Al-Qaeda for financial support after the US invasion of Iraq. Who basically fought the US installed Shia government in Iraq and the US military as their backers.
It is basically too simplistic to assume the US has 100% control over Al-Qaeda. Since they are basically a puppet force of the Sunni Arabian Peninsula. Like Saudi Arabia.
