Q: Why will jihadism not be allowed to die?
A: Because the US government, which invented jihadism in Afghanistan 40 years ago "to give to the USSR its Vietnam war," will - in spite of the 'blowback ' of 9/11/2001 - continue to use it to retard the economic integration of Eurasia, long seen by the US 1% as a threat to their world economic hegemony. (See <https://www.counterpunch.org/…/how-jimmy-carter-and-i-star…/>.)

[From the article cited] '...the “4+1” – Russia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, plus Hezbollah – with the addition of Turkey, and with China in a “leading from behind” role, are all working together.

'The unfinished war across “Syraq” coupled with spasms of jihadism in Europe could certainly still metastasize into a massive Eurasian cancer, spreading like a plague from Afghanistan to Germany and vice-versa, and from the South China Sea to Brussels via Pakistan and vice-versa.

'What would happen under this cataclysmic scenario is the complete derailment of the Chinese-driven New Silk Roads, a.k.a. Belt and Road Initiative (BRI); [the ending of] its integration with the Russia-driven Eurasia Economic Union (EAEC); and a massive security threat to the domestic stability of the Russia-China strategic partnership, with uncontrollable bellicose scenarios developing very close to their borders.

'It’s no secret which elements and institutions would very much cherish internal political chaos in both Russia and China' [ = the US, the CIA, and the Pentagon]...

'ISIS-Khorasan, or ISIS-K – that regroup in Afghanistan – can be so handy to wreak havoc in the intersection of Central Asia and South Asia, so close to key BRI development corridors.

'...The phony Caliphate was useful in an attempt to break off BRI across “Syraq”, as much as Maidan in Ukraine was useful to break off the EAEU. Other war fronts will follow – from the Philippines to Venezuela, all bent on disrupting regional integration projects under a Divide and Rule strategy of US satraps...

'Sixteen years after 9/11, the name of the game is not GWOT (Global War on Terror) anymore; [it's now] under the cover of GWOT, to disturb geostrategic expansion by ... “peer competitors” Russia and China.’
