Totally not controlled by the US State Department. They just HAPPEN to attack Russia and China and ignore Israel. Totally incidental.

Ah yes, the people who have explicitly called the US their enemies are actually TOTALLY SECRET agents lolol jeez, talk about a baseless claim! Looks like we found our Russian/Chinese/Iranian troll in the comments doing their best to spin this as: USA bad, must be USA’s fault, west=evil.

Lmao you’ll have to try harder than that, friend.

"Calling" someone your enemy is completely useless when you're executing their foreign policy. If you care more about who they "call" their enemy rather than who they are actually murdering, then... Well I'll stop right here out of respect.

And this isn't even about Russia or China. ISIS was born out of the Syrian war, yet again executing someone's foreign policy. ISIS shared a border with Israel for a time and never made any attacks, but continue to murder Muslims time after time.

You need to use better sources. I see a number of untrustworthy sites here, and just a Reddit post (entirely unreliable source). Also seeing a lot of straw man arguments in what you’re saying.

Try to have some nuance; the world isn’t divided into two clean sides, and multiple parties can have hostile stances towards each other at the same time. That does not mean “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” if that enemy of your enemy is also attacking you. For example, the US killed ISIS-K’s leader back in 2015; not a friendly maneuver.

Now, Russia has actually done a lot to earn this terror group’s ire; we have the history of the Tzar’s trying to conquer Afghanistan, the Soviet Afghan War that took 10 years in the 1980’s and was Russia’s Vietnam with a massive civilian death-toll and the destruction of vast amounts of infrastructure, the wars and oppression in Chechnya, the heavy support with Russian boots on the ground for Assad in the Syrian Civil War against the civilian rebels, the ongoing extreme violence and repression of Muslims by Prighozin’s Africa Corps, and the now the forced mobilization of Russia’s ethnic minorities (many who are Muslims from Central Asia) to fight in their morally bankrupt genocide against Ukraine. China has plenty of pressure points with ISIS-K too; chiefly the ongoing Uighur genocide, hence the attacks against Chinese officials in Afghanistan.

Turns out if you do decades of terrorism against a people they might do it to you, regardless of if your country is considered “East” or “West”.
