ISIS

Every mention, in time. Each mark is a day — taller means more that day — and links to the moment.

His baseline position is that ISIS is a manufactured threat rather than a real one — he says outright it was never a threat, that the US arms these groups and then bombs them later, and that the whole thing is a rotating cast of enemies kept around to justify budgets and bombing runs 33:51 24:41 57:30 11:07.
