The Middle East War
I think it is essential to view the various conflicts spanning from North Africa to Afghanistan as a series of interrelated struggles given that the various combatants are essentially allied to a greater or lesser extent.
From West to East;-
Libya - Assorted groups, 'governments' and militias supported variously by IS, AQ, Saudi, Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, the US, EU, Algeria, Tunisia & Morocco
Mali - Loosely tied to Libyan conflict, this involves IS, AQ, Libyan factions, France, the EU, C
Yes, opposed to this -since, as you have probably noticed, both incidents were ower within hours with minimal caualties, despite of all massive efforts and investments by West into steering up ethnic and religeous tensions in Russia. Russia is still massively safer for ethnic Jewish person than Israel is.
