Why did Western governments oppose Ba'athism more than Islamic fundamentalist ideologies?
>>18220824Ba'athism is communist.
>>18220840is basically fascism
>>18220824>WewuzzeryBecause they believed they were NOT Arabs.
>>18220824they hate thirdie nationalism
>>18220824Baathism was aligned with the Soviets and later Russian Federation whereas durka durka Isis jihadis weren’t. Look at who runs Syria now.
>>18220824This is an asspull, in fact jihadi shit directly came out of Maoist ideologies of people's warfare.
Because euroaches and westoids and zionists have a much greater fear of a unified socialist and powerful MENA than petty poor nations under salafist heresy
>>18220824They didn't during Iraq's war with Iran.
>>18220824Saddam chimped out at the zenith of the post world war ii order (the worst time to chimp out)
>>18220840>>18220855It's still too much state control for western multinationals to effectively take advantage of. Western governments don't care about human rights or secularism or being a nice place to live, they care about cheap oil.
