Never underestimate the power of Isis and the Taliban! They just want to protect their natural resources owned by the people of their country. Who can blame them.
USA started more than 30 brutal wars against small and weak countries ever since WW2. USA created millions and millions of refugees and deaths in these countries! USA committed serious crimes of war and anti-humanity
USA kidnapped Meng WanZhou of HuaWei on Dec.2018 in order to obtain a large ransom and 5G technology! Now she is still being held as a hostage in Canada. All the people in the world would not forgive this mafia style behavior of American Government!
Shame on you, USA
