I thought that Sahra and "Oskar the Clown" would at least wait until after the dead were buried in Paris before blaming the United States for the terrible attacks. But Sahra couldn't wait - or perhaps Oskar was whispering "Fuck the US Imperialism" in her ear at a delicate moment. In any case, Sahra posted on her Facebook page today:
Der Westen hat das Monster Islamischer Staat mitgeschaffen. Schluss mit dieser zynischen und verlogenen Politik. Deutschland und Europa dürfen sich an den Öl- und Gas-Kriegen der USA und ihrer Regime-Change-Politik nicht länger beteiligen.
("The West helped create the Islamic State monster. Stop this cynical and dishonest policy. Germany and Europe should no longer participate in the oil and gas wars of the USA and its regime change policies.")
If Sahra was even a little informed about current affairs, she would know that the United States is now an exporter of oil and gas. And the "theory" that the US was directly involved in creating ISIS is - along with "9/11 was an inside job" - a central tenet (conspiracy theory) of Die LInke and its partners in Moscow. In any event, the United States will support - and lead- with France the actions to destroy the Islamic State and avenge the loss of life in Paris while Sahra and Oskar stand behind Putin's effort to prop up his friend Assad.
Today in the "Streiflicht" of the Süddeutsche Zeitung:
If there's more justice in Heaven than the assasssins imagine, then Söder and Wagenknecht might once share the same cloud, so that they have to listen to each other for all eternity.

A nasty business, all around.

I think Russia, Iran (and Assad) would be happy to have France in their coalition against Daesh. For France, it might be much easier to join them than to find partners through NATO Article 5.

@koogleschreiber - that's the problem, as long as Assad is in power there will be civil war. But I agree with you on Article 5 - hypocrisy everywhere.

Typical on left-wing blogs: The Paris attacks were a CIA false flag operation:
"Ich habe keinerlei Beweise dafür, dass diese Anschläge durch den CIA gesteuert wurden, aber ich weiß, dass unter den verlorenen die in den imperialstischen Kriegen der USA im arabischen Raum in Millionen vorhanden sind und unter den enttäuschten in Europa jederzeit Attentäter und auch Selbstmordattentäter angeworben werden können und ich weiß, dass der IS ursprünglich eine CIA Gründung war, die ihnen entweder völlig aus dem Ruder gelaufen ist oder in Wahrheit immer noch von den USA gesteuert wird."
