Thereafter the US-NATO combine started to focus on their objective of cutting the Shia influence to size by creating strategies of tension by fomenting trouble for Syria which was ally of Iran. The target this time was Basher Assad.
A willful decision was taken by the Obama Administration to fund and arm extremist Islamic organization, like the Salafists, Al Nusra and ISIS, for the sole objective of overthrowing Assad. In the bloody civil war that followed and is still continuing, the Russians entered the fray to bolster the Assad regime by bombing the proxy US-NATO army- ISIS.
France as a partner of the NATO combine has also stoked the flames of radicalized Islam. Tony Cartalucci writing in Global Research says: "France, as part of a NATO-led coalition, has been arming, funding, aiding, and otherwise perpetuating Al Qaeda terrorists for years, beginning, on record in Libya with the overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and continuing until today with NATO's arming, harboring, and backing of Al Qaeda terrorists including the so-called "Islamic State" (ISIS) within and along Syria's borders."

The thumb nail sketch of the dangerous games played by the western powers, through a NATO military coalition, destroys the stereotype narrative of western media that incidents of terror, which occur on western soil, are spontaneous acts of evil of radicalized Islam emanating from the "Planet of Arabs".
But the use of radicalized Islam- nurtured, financed and armed- by Western powers for their deadly geopolitical games is only part of the big picture but there is an important part missing in the picture, namely, an explanation of the bizarre phenomena of random acts of senseless violence occurring in the heart of metropolitan centers of power of the Western world.
In his excellently researched book NATO's Secret Armies-Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe, Danielle Genser, a Swiss historian, points out that NATO with the help of intelligence agencies of CIA (U.S.) and MI6 (Britain) created a secret army of anti-communists code named "Gladio" (sword) which operated in Italy and other European countries whose sole object was to create a climate of fear by terrorist acts with the help of legally elected governments. The main purpose of the terrorist acts was to instill a feeling of revulsion and blame them on communist parties and movements.
With the fall of communism and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the raison d'etre of Gladio and NATO, which was essentially anti-communist in nature, became outdated. The global threat of communism as a script had to be consigned to the dustbin of historical irrelevance and a new threat in the form of the "Green Tide of Islam" posing as a threat to the Christian civilization had to be invented.
