That's not a bad take on things...but be careful posting stuff like that, because it makes Russia and the U.S. look like they're playing from the same playbook.

"During the USSR era its leadership used to divide the international terrorists into categories; "freedom fighters" and "radical elements". The first served Moscow's geopolitical interests and received its support. The others, acting against the USSR, or declining to accept its sponsorship, were labeled "terrorists". Today Moscow's policies and methods are identical."

In the Middle East, Central America, South America, and Africa...that above quote is the U.S. foreign policy to a "tee"...and to make it even more interesting, folks usually go from "freedom fighters" to "terrorists" after they stop playing ball with us...we give them guns, troops, training, and technology for their "freedom fight", and then when they don't become US bootlickers, they get re-labeled as "terrorists", and we invade them, fighting against the very technology, weapons, and training that we gave or sold to them in the previous decade.

Fish on...
