US has schizophrenic foreign policy: Analyst
The United States has “a schizophrenic foreign policy” which calls for violence in other countries in order benefit both the US government and military industrial complex, says a political analyst.
Mike Harris made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Thursday when asked about a CNN report showing the Pentagon’s so-called train and equip program in the so-called campaign against the ISIL has produced only 54 “moderate” militants in Syria at a cost of $41 million.
“When you look at schizophrenic nature of US foreign policy in particularly military policy in relationship to this ISIS (ISIL) issue and the Syria issue, it doesn’t make sense,” said Harris, editor of Veterans Today.
Both the US government and some private enterprise “are those who benefit from instability in the Middle East, there are those who benefit from war,” he added.
“The only business model these people have is to start violence around the world and then to continue the violence,” he noted.
They want to extend the conflicts so that “the profit keeps flowing for the defense contractors,” who “supply weapons systems and everything else to both sides of these conflicts in order to profit from them,” Harris opined.
He also said that it is the US’ “schizophrenic foreign policy that doesn’t allow us to go out and combat terrorism” in reality, he opined.
According to the CNN report, the US-trained force is far too small to worry the ISIL Takfiri terrorists.
Critics say US-allied militants could turn their training and weapons against the Syrian government rather than Daesh because they see the terrorists as fighting a parallel war.
