It’s sickening watching ISIS destroy these statues, some of which date back thousands of years before the Romans
But that’s more or less what the left wants to do to America as it destroys
statues and history
It’s also my pet conspiracy theory for why Obama aided them

First, this is mainly just idle speculation based on what similarities I see between the woke left and history hating Islamists, namely their willingness to destroy artifacts of history they now see as heretical. There’s no hard evidence Obama supported them for that reason
But remember, under the Timber Sycamore program, Obama did have the COA provide weapons to Islamist groups including ISIS
Relatedly, there’s a 2012 DIA report that indicates Obama and allied countries provided aid to the groups that became ISIS, one about which @GenFlynn was damned for speaking
He also nixed at least one operation that would have destroyed them early on

So Obama was involved in ISIS’s rise, though the degree to which he was is debatable and subject to much speculation given America classifying everything
And what did ISIS do with the weapons “we” gave them?
Atrocities used to justify American involvement in the region, murders of Christians that Assad and Russia eventually stopped, and an utter destruction of historical artifacts, including the ancient statuary in the video at the top

The statuary aspect was particularly tragic as it was irreplaceable.
Like older versions of the Buddhas destroyed by the formerly CIA-supported Taliban in Afghanistan, no one’s making more statues from ancient Babylon of the other Bronze Age Kingdoms, nor is anyone making another Palmyra

The Palmyra case is similarly tragic
One of the best preserved Roman cities, an excellent example of Roman city building and beauty and a center of history given the role Palmyra played in the late Roman Empire period
Yes ISIS was allowed to destroy it because it was fighting the Syrian government for the city. Our bombers were invading Syrian airspace anyway and could have decimated ISIS before it destroyed one of the great relics of history
Instead ISIS destroyed Palmyra until the area was liberated by Assad and Russia, who saved parts of it like they saved the surviving Christians

And as the terrorists his program directed arms toward destroyed irreplaceable artifacts in Iraq and Syria, Obama declared a similarly total, if less bloody, war on American heritage
The battle flag that Nimrata Haley tore down outside the South Carolina capitol was attacked by Obama, for example

Further, Obama was generally hostile to and ignorant of real American history and heroes, and promoted that myopic worldview
@BrionMcClanahan wrote an excellent essay for the Washington Times that touched on how Obama’s election shows the sorry state of knowledge and attitude in America as regards our history and heroes

Further, his legacy has been used to justify other attacks on American history and memorials to it
That could be seen in 2020 and 2021, where Obama’s presidency and legacy were used to justify statue removal and hostility to history
He also cheered the statue-destroying protesters

And it’s hard not to see the statues destroyed by (Obama supported) BLM thugs in much a different light than those destroyed by (also Obama supported) ISIS thugs
In both cases, the statues were destroyed for ex post facto heresy; their views from and why they represented about yesteryear mean they can’t be tolerated in the radical, extremist present

So ISIS destroyed statues of gods and kings it despises for their heresy to Islam as BLM destroyed statues it despised for their heresy to modern race communism and egalitarianism
I have no real proof that Obama and the CIA supported ISIS because they wanted to further the war on history, it’s just speculation
But it’s at the very least a strange coincidence that the man who waged war on American history and aided those doing the same likewise contributed to the radical war on history abroad
At the very least, his acolytes are motivated by the same impulse
