Who is the biggest sponsor of state terrorism?

[Invisibleflash]

The Irish pig known as Hannity says Iran is the biggest sponsor of state terrorism.

Is that true?

...or is it the USA?

 

[kyzr]

Its Iran.
They sponsor Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis in Yemen, not to mention the slaughters in Syria.

From the 2000s until the fall of the Assad regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Syrian Arab Republic were close strategic allies, and Iran provided significant support for the Syrian Ba'athist government in the Syrian civil war, including logistical, technical and financial support, as well as training and combat troops. Iran saw the survival of the Assad regime as being crucial to its regional interests

Close call b/w USA & Israel, but they often overlap.

Justify your reasons for the USA. I call bullshit.

 

[Failzero]

The Hooties & Hamas & The Hezzies = Iran

Backing leaders that end up being "terrorists."

The OP hasn't even defined terrorism.

Perhaps that should have been the first step?

 

[Kondor3]

Iran

True. I'd say people that do beheadings or burn babies alive, or do suicide bombings, or blow up buses, or shoot lots of people for no reason, or hijack planes and crash them into buildings are terrorists.

Who is the biggest sponsor of state terrorism?​

That is easy. Your list missed the obvious choice.

It is democrats.

Think about it--- every terrorist country in the world is sponsored and supported by the democrats.
They send billions to Iran while sponsoring terrorism in their home country.

Those are just acts of violence, and/or acts of war.

Why do just those specific acts are considered terrorism?

Isn't there a more accurate definition of terrorism?

Or does it basically boils down to who's defining the term?

 

[Meathead]

Backing leaders that end up being "terrorists."

So Iran.

 

[ReinyDays]

I picked China because you didn't list India ... those are the biggest ... though your phrasing is odd ...

"State Terrorism" is terrorism conducted by a Nation State ... like Iran or the United States ... we don't need no stinkin' sponsors to bully other Nation States into our way of thinking ... what's the point of conducting a terrorism campaign if nobody knows you are? ...

Guatemalans, Hondurans and Salvadorians all knew who was terrorizing their countries ... "Made in USA" on all the bombs we drop on people ... be afraid ...

Is that true?

I would say Putin's continuous war crimes deliberately targeting civilian men, women, and children in Ukraine, slaughtering them by the tens of thousands, makes Russia far and away the world's largest sponsor of terror.

In 2012, amidst the Syrian Civil War, the Obama administration launched Operation Timber Sycamore, a covert CIA program designed to train and arm Syrian rebels in hopes of toppling the regime of Bashar al-Assad. The initiative, cloaked in secrecy, reflected decades of U.S. foreign policy trends...

False.

Not all Syrian rebels are ISIS.

At the time Obama was president, the FSA was the predominant rebel group.

Operation Timber Sycamore.
The toppling and assassination of Muammar Gaddafi

I can’t believe what our country is doing. Qaddafi in Libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around, we have soldiers all have the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage and that’s what it is: It’s a carnage.

You talk about things that have happened in history; this could be one of the worst. Now we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. This is absolutely nuts. We don’t want to get involved and you’re gonna end up with something like you’ve never seen before.

Now, ultimately, the people will appreciate it. They're gonna end up taking over the country eventually, but the people will appreciate it, and they should pay us back.

But we have go in to save these lives; these people are being slaughtered like animals. It’s horrible what’s going on; it has to be stopped.

We should do on a humanitarian basis, immediately go into Libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively, and save the lives.

- Donald J. Trump

This idiot believes America's foreign policy blunders began when Obama came to Office.

Show's you the level of his intellect, or lack thereof rather.

 

[sparky]

well you're obviously going to stir trouble up asking for such perspective here Flash......~S~

 

[Lisa558]

It’s obviously Iran, as most have indicated, although thus far we have one anti-American leftist who said America, and a few antisemites who have said Israel.

 

[Oddball]

Justify your reasons for the USA. I call bullshit.

I'll do that.

Because billions upon billions of dollars are laundered through CIA cutouts, to create the terrorists that the MIC ends up fighting....Iran has nowhere near that kind of tax base to steal from.

The ultimate self-licking ice cream cone.
