Richard Dearlove, former M16 chief believes that Saudi and Qatar sustained funding to ISIS is the very reason for their massive growth. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2...chard-dearlove
As a citizen of a country at war, I want to hear more from our government about their strategies on these so called allies of the West. |
I don't disagree with your points at all. They are all perfectly valid. We all know these things are not black and white. We have direct lines of communication with each of them. In those circumstances the diplomatic services should and will be at full throttle. You don't alienate those who are currently supporting you, however flimsy that support may be. You work at diplomatic solutions.
