Democracy's Bandit War

"Those who fight against the devil must always be vigilant, lest he himself become a devil"
- Nietzsche

The confrontation between Muslims and the Western world has a long history. If we don't pursue the history and the original reasons, it seems that the confrontation between the two sides is even more heated.

The Western world likes to package itself as "democracy". Including our young Chinese, who have also received long-term immersion, believe that extreme terrorism is against humanity. To be completely wiped out.

But after fighting against terrorism for so many years, why is ISIS gradually expanding and threatening the world? Just like the so-called "suppressing bandits" back then, why do more bandits are being suppressed?

There are two voices.

The first is that the strategy is wrong. People keep coming out and saying that Western politicians are not firm enough in their attitude towards fighting terrorism. Like the hesitation when a drone detects innocent civilians or is suspected of killing another country's citizens.

Another is a strategy. Some people say that it was wrong from the beginning. Don't try to control the Middle East, give its people more autonomy, and give up competing for the interests of the Middle East.

Gradually it became incomprehensible, gradually became a big social discussion, and gradually became the rise of right-wing forces. Watching helplessly as the Chinese are in both the Middle East and Africa, they are like a duck to water.
