While Russian warplanes over Syria have been systematically eradicating - and providing supporting video evidence - countless ISIS outposts and command centers over the past two weeks in Islamic State-held territories (even if in the process they may have taken on some of the CIA-supposrted "moderate rebels" whose only purpose was to remove Assad and are now left without US support), many have been wondering just what the US airforce, which over the past year has been engaged in "supporting missions" over the same region, has been doing? After all, shouldn't US warplanes have been doing for the past year what Putin's air force has been busy with in the past 14 days?
One answer, and a rather provocative one as it goes counter to everything that US has publicly claimed, comes courtesy of Hayder al-Khoei, an associate fellow at Chatham House, who notes that "another 'U.S. supports ISIS' video is going viral in Iraq." In the video US "parachutes & supply crates" are seen in the area of Iraq's Baiji refinery, a site of recurring ISIS incursions and battles.
He adds that "Vids like this & others of helos flying above Hashd/ISF positions towards ISIS-held areas reinforce narrative that US supports ISIS in #Iraq."
