US fight against Daesh mere pretense: Commentator

The Russians are right that the United States is not really fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorists, because the Americans use the terrorists as their proxy, says an analyst.

“The Americans, as the Russians say, [are] pretending to fight Daesh” and they are “using these terrorist groups to stir up trouble,” James O’Neill told Press TV on Tuesday.

“The Americans have used terrorist groups as proxies for very long time” in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, the geopolitical analyst said.

Russia says the United States is only pretending to be fighting Daesh, saying a US-led coalition has intentionally reduced the number of its air raids in Iraq to allow terrorists to safely flow into Syria.
