Can you win terrorism with force?

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Well, who supplied the syrian army with soviet equipment?

I am sure that just about everyone wants to sell arms to official governments, so that is not exactly strange or unusual.

Yep, but Serbs posting more or less pointed into the direction that USA and Germany supplied ISIS with weapons.

However, any american weapons surely were scavenged by ISIS in Iraq ... and the german weapons from kurdish Peshmerga forces, which are defensive forces from a semi autonomous kurdish region in Iraq.

So, by supplying the syrian government with weapons (which were then looted by ISIS) Russia is as responsible for supplying ISIS with weapons, as are germany and the USA

If you are utterly ruthless and willing to use group punishment, yes, but other wise it is a fools errand. Stalin ended terrorism after the Russian civil war via brutality and mass deportations. The west is unwilling to use such measures so the best we can really hope for is not allowing muslim immigration to begin with.

USA largely did. through different methods

Who supplied the terrorists that struck Paris yesterday with AK-47's?

The Soviet Union, obviously.

The USA, Germany and France have OFFICIALLY and OPENLY supplied the so-called Syrian opposition. That is a fact. That was YOU who have destroyed the country, nobody else. Now, eat your fruits. Idiots. Because you never learn.

Guns don't kill, people do.
The more important question is - were there any terrorists in Europe, if Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, were still a stable and secularized countries instead of a chaos the West have brought there?

[giblets]

Communists turned Afghanistan into a terrorist hellhole, no need to thank the US for that.

[Serb]

That's BS. Just read Bzhesinsky confessions. Afghanistan is your beast, dude. All from the beginning. You have created this monster, nobody else.

The moderates, genius, not ISIS. Learn the difference or keep looking stupid.

The Mujaheddin would have beaten you without any assistance from the US, China or Saudi Arabia.

I'd say that the current state of Israel is a pretty good demonstration of what happens if you fight terrorism with force.

[notyoueither]

Not really. The Israelis have been constrained. You don't want to see what a modern state like Israel could do if feeling unconstrained. The example Russia made of the Chechen Republic would be a starting point.
